How much did your 16v conversion cost?

Im probably going to put a 16v in my mk1, still havnt got it running yet.

Could people whos odne them tell me how much yours cost around as i dont want to start it and run out of money.

Also if anyone has done it to a 1.3 i would appreciate you telling me how much it cost you and wether its alot more due to it not being a gti.

Thanks.

u dont want a heavy lump like that u need to g40 her :mrgreen:

haha id love too tbf, but i could g60 it anway  

Plus their more expensive arnt they…

Less decent condition ones for sale..

your going to need the following

4 branch manifold not cheap
engine and box
gearchange and linkages ect
brakes from a gti would be good
n/s mount bracket for chassis leg
all the k-jet injection system
fuel tank

think its quite involved

probally not expensive but loads of messing about getting random parts

your best bet would be to fit a polo gt lump in it  :wink:

well if its available for the money then id obviously want the 16v.

Dont midn the work, itl only teatch me anyway.

?1000 tops if you get all the right bits new like 8)

ive just been costing it up for my gti

?200 for the downpipe/ manifold ive got a full sciroco set up for mine
which is the biggest expense

but you will also need airbox metering head full gti spec fuel system custum gear box mounts and engine mount brake upgrade to at least gti spec

Does everyone use a 16V conversion manifold but then also use a reducer to adapt it to the existing exhaust system? Or another aftermarket 8V Mk1 GTI exhaust system?

seems the most common route ive found a sciroco 16v exhaust manifold so planning this route at the mo

If converting from a 1.3, I'd budget for a full system.

i forgot  you would need a steering rack as well

ive just bought a complete car mk3 2.0 16v, so apart from the exhaust system will i need any other bits its going into a 1.3.
also prob is mk3 is actually good nick, so its gonna be hard for me to break it.

what steering rack would i need.

And Could i choose from scirocco, 8v exaust system?

And tbh i do want it quiet and quite standard as i want to be quiet about it at the moment as i dont have alot of money to do this.

Thanks for the help.

What about engine mounts etc etc.

Sound lads.

sciroco 16v exhaust manifold which bolts to standered gti exhaust downpipe

gti steering rack as the gearbox linkages for the 5 speed box come of it

gti fuel system (tank lines pump) custom gearbox mounts timing belt end engine mount steering rack if using 5 speed box gear linkages and most other parts listed in this thread
