X-Flow Heads....

Could anyone tell me which UK spec 8v engines use a crossflow head? Im told the MK4 does as does the beetle, but I dont know the codes. Can anyone help?

 

1.6 and 2 litre mk4 golfs

AKL and APK codes.

 

I think RallyeVR6 must have asked you this question yesterday matt Cheers

 

Also, do they fit the mk3 2e blocks?

 

hehe yeah he did, he mentioned what your doing to me, and we had a discussion about it.

The heads have to be modded to make them fit the earlier blocks, but its not impossible

 

Worth it as opposed to using a standard 8v kjet head though?

 

He might want the crossflow head for an American Turbo conversion...EIP Tuning do DIY Kits for like 1500-2000!! Worth it if you know what your doing

 

Already got most of the bits mate. Its been running for quite some time, im just making it better!!

 

kool

 

UPDATE: I may have found myself a head to fit Just wondering, does anyone know what kind of compression these heads give with the earlier blocks? I can imagine PhatVR6 maybe knowing this? What did lee use to lower cr on his 8v?

 

that's worth faq'ing when you find out.

Yes. Would be nice if it give a lower cr. I know fitting the 16v heads to 8v blocks lowers the compression to a silly level which is fecking ideal for turbo'd engines.

 

gives the same CR as an earlier 8v

 

booger! copper headgasket time!

 

i just got an aba head and some other bits in the post from ohio the other day, bargains to be had in the states if you arent in a rush!

 

my 1.6 AFT does

 

this head is complete for 100

 

UPDATE: Thinking I might just use the entire mk4 engine now. WHich code is the 2.0? Is it APK?

 

awf and awg have crossflows

 

Are they 2.0 mk4 engines too rags?
