Cheers thats cracking info guys

awesome cheer fella i say biacth as a term of endearment. I think ill give a few days to dry out, let the petrol vapour evaporate off then ill get started.

Rightio took my tank off whilst i did some welding and doing the disc conversion, when i first took the tank off i thought id just buy a new one, but after stripping another car i realised mine was actually in not bad nick but during that time i just left it sat outside,, took the sender out had a ...

thats fly wheel, think it was 120ish i think, both totals im bowled over with. I do wonder if a less abused engine would be much better, so chatting to a friend and might have a go at porting and polishing.

After a couple of months of pottering around to make sure nothing came lose or fell off. Finally got round to having it rolling roaded and tuned. Well im happy to say £120 and a few hours later, its done and 140bhp, which im really happy with considering the engine is 22 yrs old and completely ...

Cool, no worries bud, just pm me. Yeah i using the standard ignition out of a early 16v mk2 golf plugged straight into the rocco.

Yeah its relativly straight forward. Just the manifold is the tricky bit but i can supply that. Like i said in an earlier reply i didnt know sod all 2 years back and now ive managed this.

Speed wise its faster than the 8v but its got alot more to give.

Ahh nice, MPG wise its not a major concern of mine as my main car is an xj8 so its only my play thing.
Power wise im not going to spectulate till ive had it rolling roaded and fuel adjusted.

I said that cause he was asking me for pointers on my bike carb conversion on the post a couple below

Hmm i wonder why you fancy some bike carbs

The alternator needed moving as the carbs would foul it if not moved down slightly. Also the water pipe coming out the front of the engine needs chopping and ally welded back pointing down more, again so it doesnt foul the carbs

it a gt2 and had the 1.8 8v, ohhh 75bhp nice, lol. Im quite happy to given any advice needed, i confess im no expert, i didnt even know how to do an oil change 2 years back, and had never changed an engine let alone a conversion before, but its running and nothing has fallen off yet,

Regarding the 16v conversion i was told at Bristol Volksfest by a chap with a minters white one told me that it wasn't just a case of plug and play. YES IT WAS!!!! But the trick is that you need to use the loom out of an early mk2 16v, as later mk2's wiring loom is im told is linked into things like ...
