mk 2 abf

[mk2bal]

If u don't know what you're doing run it on digi, and if luck is behind u it might work with no problems. However it prob wont and you'll be on here everyday asking for help. If your kr runs fine then just swap the lump..job done. Unless you want to change loom and  fuel system etc as well as the engine then go for it with digi. I've had an abf on Kjet and I'd recommend it to anyone. I used to smoke people up on a daily basis. I've got bored of 159bhp and gone 20vt since, and I see some folk are still struggling to get their digi running right, they never get to enjoy it!! Mines been in and out in that time. Yeah on paper digi is far superior, in practical terms however its over engineering, and a lot more hassle for little or no gain. You'll have a smoother more efficient mk2, but you'll prob get done by Kjet abf's (if your digi ever leaves the garage that is). I speak from experience as I've had one myself, am an electrician, and am constantly getting asked to look at a mates poor performing digi abf.

whichever way you look at it the k jet is a less complex and more reliable system. no crank sensor/ maf/tps/lambda to give trouble. just run some fuel cleaner through it. make sure all hoses are sound and get it tuned. and it will run for a long time without bother. who cares if its slightly less economical. at least you know it will always get you where you want to go.

 Old 8v digi yes, lots. Old k jet there's a thread on here every week without fail. All I did to my digi abf was fit a lamda sensor last week after a year of running fine without it plus a year of that engine sat in the garden. There's nothing to set up.
Where are all these poor running digi 3.2 abf posts?

I've seen many on here and on Cgti. Kjet is perfectly fine,Its just that not many people know how it works or how to tune it unfortunately..remember its made by Bosch, fitted to many cars of various makes at the time, and was the best thing at the time. This is still an old car remember, so sure if you had a 1.3 and needed a complete donor Id go mk3 full setup and 'modernise' it, but ffs he's got a kr already, that possibly runs absolutely fine, so for what it is I'd just slap The engine in an have the fun from it. Obviously if going 20vt or more, use a system that's more upto date and developed with the engine..

when the k jet was the age that digi 3.2 is now there would never have been any bother with it. and I don't recall seeing lots of threads about faulty k jets???
