seat gti motor?

[82cab]

Does anyone know if a Seat gti motor will bolt into a mk1 with out too much trouble?

it's the tall 2.0l block found in the MK3 golf ..it will have clearance issues with the bonnet but should be possible with some work (nothing like cutting the chassis, etc...)
Have a chat to Brian from GTI imports in Sydney, you will be able to fit the Audi 9A 2.0l in it without too much trouble.

thatd be a rocket on steroids if you did that. burn alot of riced up jap cars

thats the good thing about owning a cabrio thats 82 onwards, you don't need to engineer it

i heard rumors that you can basically bolt any golf motor 1.6-2 into a mk1 which is great.

[82cab]

you can basically throw in a motor thats 20% bigger than the biggest sized motor for any golf of that year. So if any model came out with a 1.8 you can go up to 2 no probs

[82cab]

sorry i think its 15% bigger

[GoLfMan]

righto but i heard a 1.8 of any golf model will drop straight in. a 2L needs some engineering to drop in. so the solution get a 1.8 and bore it out to 2L did a 1.8 come in 16v>?

thats what i was worried about, i was hoping it was going to be the same as the 1.8 16v. Thats why i wanted to know how many mods need to be done to get it in.

A Seat GTI 2.0 8valve will go in quite easily as I've already done such without any dramas.
Unless you may be talking about the Cupra 16v but thats not what you wrote.
The exhaust downpipe will have to bee lengthened slightly but thats straight forward.
