MK2 1.8T Conversion Thread

I have a corrado vr6 one left over think i need to get some slim fans.

Intercollers anyone preferable rated 300bhp?

 

Just bought Omex 600 ecu so going SEM. Longlife amesbury wi build me a 2.5 turbo back system for 450. Just need to sort out a Intercooler!!

 

I've got a fair few bits and pieces gathered up for the conversion. Will update in my project thread once i'm back from the new forest. I'm still undecided on which intercooler to go for? Its got to be a fmic. I've been advised by a mate to go for a sprinter one. Its the pipework which will be a pain!

 

Merc Sprinter one.

Another vote for the "Sprintercooler"

 

What bhp can a sprinter one take/ work efficently at?

I will be fitting a k04 and SEM so will hopefully see 250 BHP ?

 

sprinters are ok but if your going to running 250+ ko4 id look into getting a good quality fmic

Would this Ibiza downpipe & decat be suitable for the Mk2 ?

 

I looked at those on eBay and was told they were fine as mk3 Ibiza is same fit as mk3 golf I can confirm that from subframe engine mounts etc

 

I think i'll go for this then.

It does look good quality tbh

 

Guys, will this fit a K04 on a BAM fitted to a MK2?

 

Welsh wizard above is putting a 1.8t in his mk2 with a ko4

 

If you are using k04 023 from tt the this does not fit longlife are building me a turbo back exhaust for k04 for 450

 

Just wondering, where the hell does the turbo coolant return and feed pipe go / come from ?

 

Right then, just a quick update.

Ive got the loom currently in the hands of R.J. Once its back i want to get the 20v in asap, but need to get a few things sorted before hand.

As above on the previous post, where the hell does the turbo coolant feed and return go to on the engine ?

Also im undecided on what rad and fan setup to use ?

Would like to hear from some of you who have done the conversion recently and pictures would be great.

Cheers

 

what number are you quizzing in your post?

 

Just found this info below in a previous post in the thread.

Looks like number 11 is the water feed. But would you know roughly where the return goes ? Does it go back into the header tank.

 

i think it heads back into the rail that sits next to the inlet manifold, tucks underneath, there is also where the hearder tank feed goes to and from. I've removed all of that as i'm not using it in the mk1, as my header tank sits in the original position, unlike the mk4 setup

 

Cheers Jon

I might do the same with my MK2. Any pics of yours by any chance jon ?

Hello. I was offered to buy whole FMIC piping for a very good price, but it's 60mm diameter.
So the question is: Is that diameter suitable for standard 1,8T AGU ? Won't be to large ?
