20v turbo conversion=£2-3k 16v abf £?
« on: 30 January 2013, 19:43 »
Anyone know if a 16v abf conversion into a 8v would be much cheaper to do than the 20v turbo route?Apologies if this has been covered already.

In a word,  yes. Buy a 16v donor car and transfer everything needed across. If you wanted a 1.8t you'd more then lucky need to buy a 16v donor anyway for parts and then the 1.8t engine on top and customs parts, loom etc

Bigger issue is going to be finding a 16v donor car they seem to be getting harder to find.
