RE: 1.8T conversion
I have been following this thread and thought that I would do
my best to summarize what I have read and to try to ask a few more
question...please add to this...
Goal: To install a stock 1.8T motor into a mk1 (or mk2) Scirocco.
Once you have the engine installed the potential is big, but let's
just figure out the *basics* of getting the engine installed and
operational...
>From what I have gathered,
-The engine needed would be a non DBW (Passat or A4) and will physically
fit using the stock motor mounts.
-A custom downpipe is needed to relocate the turbo and to fit the a1
chassis.
-A beetle intake manifold is needed...?
Now for my questions...
-Can the stock fuel pumps be used...?
-would you have to re-route the main fuel line?
-would a 16v radiator be suficient for the cooling needs?
-would you need a custom intercooler?
-is a custom oil cooler *needed*?
*I am directing these questions towards a "stock" 1.8t and not
a 250+ hp 1.8t setup... just for simplicity.
I'm just trying to get more tech talk started on this...
I know that I'm not the only really curious one interested on
this subject! ; )
