16V/8V/weber carbed!

[Jay4424]

A mate at work has just put a recond (by him self) VR6 into his Mk2 Golf (which was already a 16v GTI)

anyway, the engine that was in it got fully refurbished before he got the offer and idea of the VR6... valver engine has just been offered to me!

VERY VERY tempted to stick it in to the rocco, use my 8V Mk2 golf GTI as a day to day in the mean time!

...hes asked me to "make him an offer" ..what should that be?

should i bother doign the mod, should i stick the valver in to the golf ... i could then leave the rocco alone, or put the 8v GTI engine out of the golf in to the rocco!! ...currently the rocco is a 1.8l weber carbed car!

your imput guys

cheers, Jay.

Stick it in the rocco!!

You wont regret it

Thats a no brainer, 16v into the Scirocco.

[Ian Carvell]

Do it......I am building a 16v on carbs for mine as we speak

[monzajake]

16v in to a carbed rocco !! expect a bit of ball ache..but it has been done by a few on here tho.
Id offer the guy some note's for the engine slam it in the golf, out the golf for funds on 8v engine work. head,carbs,fly wheel blar blar blar..
my 2pence worth anyway

Jay, if you do put it in your roc, i'd be very interested in buying the 1.8 with webers?!?! haha

would you? ..you wouldn't like a 8V GTI engine? ...or if you take the 16V saves me the hassel!

...half my problemn is, the work i've done to the weber engine as resulted in a basically refurbished enigne as is! ...the golf engine I know will need some work at some point in the not too distant furture... plus it'd mean less hassel when re-wiring, but i want t a valver roccco!

...Monza jake... "out the golf for funds on 8v engine work" eh? you mean sell the golf?, sell the engine from the golf?

sorry I'm confused, its not hard!

Yeah i might be interested in the valver, how much you looking at? Prob do a bit of a rebuild ie gaskets etc before i attempt the conversion anyway, whats the milage like? As said in the other thread im running a 1.6 carb, but a 16v on some bike carbs is taking my fancy

[Rocco-Matt]

Hmm i wonder why you fancy some bike carbs

[Jay4424]

Hmm i wonder why you fancy some bike carbs

don't get it.. is there a picture i can't se cause i'm at work?

[Rocco-Matt]

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

[manox]

Yeah bike carbs have always tickled my fancy but seeing those r1's on that thread and the retro cars 1.3 polo in the flesh has really got me thinking. Looks so good and cheap as...
