I think DH will be along soon to tell you off for saying use a carb instead of Digi injection  :grin:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

For the challenge!

Unless you're going for a twin carb setup I don't think it will be worth it and no need to apologise, it's a free forum for open discussion  :smiley:

Because I can't afford to buy a GTI while ive got this still and then the insurance aswell. So thought i may aswell source all the bits and give it a go...

Think ive decided to save up and buy an amazing GTI now though :undecided:

if its for a challenge why not fit 16v as it will be more or less the same amount of work or get giddy and go for vr6 or 1.8t

Because insurance on anything other than an 8v is crazy! And an 8v is still a bit too much atm :sad:


I hate being 18!

8v  1600  to 8v  1800  is a very easy swap.    the webber 32/34 dmtl  is perfect for it as long as it's in good condition.   with dizzy from a k jet and,  certan things in the inlet manifold adjusted  it will make more power than a standard gti enigne.    and works very well and is generaly very reliable tho any problem that occur will normaly be carb related. 

digifant 2  will make the enigne easyer to live with, once it's setup it should allways idel nicely the webebr tend to creep out on the idel speed tho it's quickly put back to something sensible.  but digi 2 is quite limuted and needs tweeks on anything other than a stock motor to get the best out of it. on 2ltrs the webber works  ok  but it's not ideal.  on a hot 2.0  the manifold itself starts to become an issue as well as the carb,  thats asking it to do over 150%  of what it was desinged to do       
all the VW's have gone bar 1.
