if you are planning to use the 2e2 carb you need to drill a hole for this, but if its a later k-jet head with the vacuum pipe there you cant do this it so you'll have to change the head for anothet GTI head or your old carby head. if you're using a webber carb then you can do without the coolant channel hole on the head

so if I were buying a engine to use a weber carb on, then a GTI block and head would be fine, you'd just have to fill the injector holes?

Not a massive job, me and my mate are 3/4 of the way through doing it ourselves to a 1.8 8V GTI

I can't find the site I was looking at last night, but this guy had done the conversion and he reckon'd that by using pennies to fill the holes you can lose 3 to 4 bhp. Not sure I see why. He'd fabricated some metal plugs that screwed into the holes.

4-5 bhp seems like a lot, be nice to see before/after rolling road graph to prove it 1 way or t'other

I don't know why but for some reason I had it in my head that the carb'd engine was 9:1. Are all mk1 golf's 10:1 as standard?
Also, going back to the original thread, which inlet manifold would you better using? The gti one?

I suppose it's a lot friggin cheaper (4p precisely) than having some fab'd up.

Could you not be done for defacing the queen? She's around my house regulary for tea. I'd hate it if she saw me using her to block up me engine 'oles.

Just smooth down the "tail" side instead of the "head" side.

there were lower spec 1.8 in the US and euro MK3s, but in terms of euro MK1 and MK2, 1.8 all 10:1

What do you do with the water pipe if you're changing to manual carb?
