dubloke 4 Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 this will apply to simon(six appeal) really, but if anyone else has some tips i'd be gratefull. looking to upgrade my 1.8 pb engined mk.2 golf to a 2.0 bottom end. what mk.3 block(or audi) do i need, (think its the 2e?) and what ancillaries do i need from the donor engine to mate up to the pb head/zorst? will the cable change box go in as well? or am i better sticking with the 1.8 box/ratios? cheers peeps!

six appeal 53 Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Ok, Matt still at work, so will try and remember it all.But may have to add the odd bit here and there.You will need:1 x 2.0 block, crank and pistons etc..... (will get engine number of mine for ya!)1 x front breather blank. (TSR supply these, or I made mine)1 x distrbutor adaptor ring if you want to stick with 1.8 dizzy. (you can use the 2.0 one again TSR do these, or I made mine)1 x front plug (TSR supply these or I made mine)1 x exhaust plate off Mk3 unit1 x little clip adaptors for the side plates (u can make them easily)1 x 1.8 8v head, although works a lot better in conjuction with a modded one.All I can think off at the mo. will update it when I get a chance with a full list, or TSR know about it all and were very helpful.

VRmonster 1 Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 i may take note in this one. i have a mk2 1.8 driver and its slow as hell (carbs). i was thinking about the costs of a g60 conversion for a bit of fun, anyone know how well these go in a mk 2? if not i may think about the 2.0l Link to post Share on other sites
speedo 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Just carried out this conv. for my younger brother , running a digi-pant pb. Just basicly obtained a broken passat, running a 20L 2E, used the complete block with pb mk2 head, and metal head gasket from ABF 16v. Run up @ 138 brake @ stealth... not bad for a £50 engine, flowed head and mild cam Link to post Share on other sites
