Hi all,

This may seem like a stupid/ridiculous question to some of you, but here goes......

Can you convert a 1.8, 8v carb engine to a 16v Fuel injection? I'm completely new to all this and as ever
Have a million and one ideas in my head!

Many Thanks :newbie:

No 16v head wont go straight on to your block. It might be easier to just scource a good 1.8 or 2.0 16v block & head from a mk2 or mk3 golf/corrado.

I'm currently half way through doing this. My advice would be to find a mk2 golf 16v donor car.
