i am looking at putting a V5 engine into a Mk2 golf. I have a full donor car for the conversion and thought it would be a bit different, how different seems to show in the fact I can’t find very much if anything anwhere about this conversion. Has anyone had any experience of this or know anyone that has?
Treat it the same as if you were fitting a V6 24v, this thread has a lot of good info. https://www.clubgti.com/forums/index.php?threads/surprise-i’ve-changed-my-swap-again.287962/
as above, basically as per V6 except you need a custom rear bracket and exhaust manifold. wiring wise see: https://clubgti.com/forums/index.php?threads/267196/
It is similar to a 24v conversion with an 02J, execpt you need a modified rear engine bracket, modified downpipe as you use the factory 5 into 3/2 - 1 exhaust manifold and an E-Gas pedal. ME7.1 AQN ecu similar to BDE ME7.1.1. Needs mapping to wake up the engine, deactivation of SAI, SLV, rear CMS and immo.
Do you happen to have that remap you did on file? I'm struggling to find a v5 manual ecu in Australia. I have an auto ecu with my engine but need it reflasged to a manual minusball the bits I don't need.
