you need to make a hole in the bulkhead in the exact right position you need something to tension it right. i can get picture of it. its hard to explain.... i use a vr acc cable, its quite long so it got the length to do it. cable clutch is just easier, as you dont have to change the pedal box over and pipe in the clutch. then just put on a mk2 1300 cable and your done. you can get the conversion bits from vw, but if you google it, there is lots of info. common thing done for a mk2 that have vr/2.0 16v conversions.
Okay i'm sold on the cable idea... conversion kit is around 80odd quid -- eep! Just can't wait to accumulate all the bits and crack on. plan to change the suspension and wang some brembo 4 pots in the mix as well... i have a week off in a couple of months so i'll do it all then happy days!
was thinking 323 but as the offset is different from the mk4 hub i will need to source some brackets or get some made up... i'll get my solid engine mounts made up first and see from there. I'd love a quaife but dont want to sped that much dolla. i'm running 230bhp in the Leon atm and thats fine withough though my lauch at inters last year was pants lol. I'll be happy with 230 bhp though if i have the dolla closer to the time i may get a hybrid sorted out?? we'll see. maybe a k04?
312's bolt on much easier and i they arent too much. always seems to be set knocking around in the classifieds of one vag forum. could go k04, if you can find all the bits you need for the conversion. anyone that sells the package, as in everything you need for converting to a k04, knows what its worth and they dont sell it cheap!
Well my shopping list should be much shorter I should assume?? How similar are the vr6 parts above to the gti parts I have?? Am already starting with a gti 16v. Although I am torn- should I wait and do this to a corrado(really fancy one atm)??!! Troy
gti 16v is the best base for a 20vt conversion. The vr6 parts are all the same as the gti 16v. fuel pump all the subframe, wishbones, arb's. gearbox, flywheel, hydro clutch/pedal box brakes (depending on year, you can bolt on 312's) etc, etc only thing you need is a sachs vr clutch. but you would fit a new clutch when doing it all anyway. oh and off course all the 20vt turbo stuff too management and engine loom however you want to do it AGU with a k03s bolted on fmic and custom piping nice qpeng downpipe and 2.5" system happy days
Close but no cigar... AGU 20vt Ko3s hybrid, Adjustable FPR 380cc injectors Revo stage 3 mapped management with immob defeat (cheaper then stand alone) Make your own 3" down pipe (cheaper again) LCR map sensor big ass itg filter FMIC VR6 pump... bobs your uncle and fannys your aunt this is why i'll wont be doing the work untill may/june Oh and some big ass porsche brakes
sounds good, yeah i didnt finish the list of course, it will get bigger and bigger as you go along and there always something missing still! anyway - should be pushing some serious power out of that! I would soooo be saving for a quaife diff to make use of that power! Im going to keep saying it, so sorry now and in advance just use a 4bar fpr, you can get a genuine vw one and they will be more than enough for your applications. unless you need it to be adjustable for the map, or if the adjustable is cheap enough then i guess stick with it. fair play with making your own downpipe, if you can do that, then you going to fab your own zaust too? what 380cc injectors you using?
not doing my exhaust, Blue flame are going to make my one up - straight through from the turbo to a twin exit (no box) -- i intend to wake the dead. I'm going to be playing with some mapping so i want it adjustable between 4-5bar (i have a 4bar already i just put the leon back to stage 1 to sell so i'm full of 20vt goodies think they're off a porsche, i'll let you know when i do. being supplied at a very very good price by a well known vw/audi tuner ditto for the hybrid too wrote a Really loking forward to picking up my brembo's at the weekend now happy days!
ahh nice, i got a set of green top injectors and a 4 bar fpr waiting if i ever go for a k04 or hybrid and want more power! that wouldnt be til after i get a rebuildt box with a lsd though. brembos!!! woop! get some pics up when you get them, i wanna see them
You shouldn't need 4 bar with green top 440cc's. They haven't got the best spray pattern for the 16v/20v engines either. A DP's not that hard to make with the right tools
