mk5 gti lump into mk4 anyone?!

might make an interesting alternative to the 1.8 20vt conversion.

Is that price for real? 1200 quid?!!! I'll buy one tmrw if thats for real.

 

If it'll fit the Mk4 then surely it'll fit the Mk1/2?!

 

My thinking exactly, 1200 quid for 200 reliable bhp, BARGAIN! And more as soon as the major league chippers start releasing their finest.

 

aye, add to that list : polo,lupo,rado,mk3,rocco and so on!!....

ps: i believe a superchips remap takes it to 240ps.

Ull need a lot more that just the engine. Also for mk1 mk2 and mk3 you will need custom engine mounts.

 

Give it 6 months, there will be a Mk2 2L Turbo FSI!

 

1200?!
Something aint right there!
Or is it just the bottom end?

 

some one out there will want tobe the 1st mk2 2l 20vt owner and im sure they'll go to whatever lengths it takes......

 

For 1200 i think they might become a bit common !

 

The 2.0 TSI engine is a 16v.

 

so for my '97 8v what else do i need to replace?

gearbox, brakes, suspension, engine mounts, exhaust
fuel lines
what else?

who would be a good place to contact in the essex/ east london area for the mods... any guesses to the costs??

 

Feck sake, are you lot are assumin this is bolt on or something


You're forgetting all the Electrics to actually run it!!!!

Fuel supply, mounts etc

 

that will be engine, turbo and manifolds.



diddly squat else for that money.



now find coils, loom, cooling parts..........











spank you another 1200 easy

 

god damn slow typing

 

fair do.
but my point is, people will want to stick this mk5gti lump into just about everything and anything irrespective of cost!...its just the usual evolution of eng upgrading!

 

They only have limited numbers. Not like you are going to see loads of them acout all of a sudden.

Andy, yes, but the point is that its as cheap/cheaper than a 1.8t with 30k miles on the clock.

 

I know of one company in the UK doing this conversion but Ive not heard much about it.


You will need the same bits that you need to do a 20vt on factory management and some other bits too. The injectors are directly above the pistons and AFAIK theres no aftermarket management system to run them at the moment. Also theres no other ones available to swap them with. The turbo is part of the manifold and it uses one of the mounting holes where the back mk2 mount bolts onto the block for a water return. It is possible to fit to a mk2 tho. I had one of these engines about 5 months ago but decided against it as there too much head ache involved to do the swap and the tuning potential is limited due to turbo and injectors.


But its worth it to say that you were one of the first to do the swap.

 

It entirely depends what you are getting for the 1200 deako

 

Theres already one on the scene. Hes the first to do 2ltr 16v turbo fsi.
