Looking for some help here. I've just bought a 2.0 8v for my 1.1 golf and I'm collecting bits ready for the conversion. Here are the parts I have so far, and the parts I need to source. Please let me know what Im missing!
- Complete 2.0 8v Engine with mk1 GTI head and Kjet
- 5 speed Gearbox
- Gear linkage and gear stick
- drive shafts
- engine and gearbox mounts
- radiator
- exhaust manifold
Parts I need -
- GTI wiring loom
- GTI exhaust
- GTI fuel pump??
- Do I need a GTI fuel tank??
I will also be upgrading the brakes. But what am I missing here? Is there anything else I need to source?
Thanks!

the alternative is the post-84 cab/rocco or g40 shape polo lifter pump and fuel reservoir, but the trouble there is that the fuel reservoir goes where your accumulator wants to fit so can be tricky fitting it all in. the post-84 cab/rocco have a smaller accumulator which sits behind the tank, not sure how it will fit with an early type fuel tank?

All of the above suppliers recognised the fact they are not proper "Gti tanks" but they had also not had any negative feedback that these tanks are not suitable for the gti….
I have not yet fitted my 2.0 8v engine but when I do I will keep you posted to how the tank performs
Safest thing to do is have a genuine tank refurbed albeit not the cheapest…
Hope this info is of use
