Carb to injection Options?
Hello all
starting life of as a 1.3 driver andputting this g40 lump in.
The options I see at present is:-
do i source a gti setup to the front?
Get a scirocco gti setup againt like above tank, inside pump outside pump and lines upto engine bay?
Or use my g40 lift pump modify to fit mk1 tank and then fabricate custom setup using the g40 outside setup but with better main pump and custom lines (was going to use high preassure rubber lines)
what the general opinion?
also differences bettwen golf carb and gti tank? and scirocco to golf tank?
kind regards

our Matt has converted his mk1 1.3 to multipoint fuel injection using parts from a NZ engined Polo
he used a engine loom & ECU from a mk3 Polo……this needs to be cut back to the basics need for the ECU to run the engine (4 to 6 wires)
fitted a in-tank liftpump from any mk3 Polo……fits straight in
main inline pump, filter, accumulator & mounting bracket from a Polo…..mounted on rubber mounts under the boot area
you can use GTI ridgid fuel lines……our Matt made his out of copper pipe
exhaust wise a GTI exhaust works well (Matt has a custom made system)& de-cat downpipe for a Polo GT or G40 (it's possible to de-cat a standard Polo downpipe)…..or even a Ashley 4 branch….then mate that to a GTI exhaust system (you need a flexi joint really between the end of the downpipe & centrebox)
to fit a 5 speed box into a mk1 1.1/1.3 you need to fabricate a gearbox mount….gearbox end Polo mk3, chassis leg end from a 1.5/1.6/1.8 or GTI……piece of plate in between the 2
there's a bit of messing about with coolant hoses, mainly the pipes to the heater matrix…….a Polo has a bleed screw on the heater matrix, a Golf does'nt…..so you need to slacken off the top pipe to the heater matrix to get the air out
if you fit a NZ/GT or G40 the airbox won't fit between the inner wing & cambelt cover…….cone filter solves this easily
………
my conversion is slightly different from my brothers
i'm fitting a 1.4 from a mk3 Golf with fuel injection from a Polo GT into my gold Driver
loom & fusebox are from a Polo GT, dash loom is from a mk2 Polo & the rear light loom from a mk1 Golf
also going to mod the innerwing so i can fit the airbox from a Polo GT
