Too many good bits to pass it up!

[Peter Jones]

Nice buy! Did the seller finally conceed defeat and sell the ecu with it?

I thinks that's what out a lot of people off the sale.

I considered it a few times as it kept getting relisted but I wanted to build my own motor and I already had most of the other bits.

Looks to be a nicely sorted conversion though, I'd probably pull the exotic stuff out of it, pop in a MK 3 1800 and sell it off if you're not after the coachwork.

Enjoy!

In interesting developments, the car has been sold minus the engine and gearbox to 9 times State Speedway champ. After using Toyota engines for quite some time, Ed C has convinced him to build a 200bhp 1.6 cross flow 8v running 13.5:1 compression on methanol It’ll be dry sumped running on throttle bodies. The 4 door body is going to be used to road test the engine and enable it to be put on the dyno

I’ll get some pics and dyno figures up when it’s complete

You asked "what kind of head"?
A cross flow 8v actually

[Jarred]

yea I figured that much. What engine is the head off? the only cross flow head I know of is the ABA and 16V's....?? and the ABA is a 2L, and it's not a 16V cause you said it was an 8V..

[DVR68U]

aba is still an 8v

Jarrad, explore the interweb, ask questions, google is your friend.

One of the most common engines sold in Audi A3s and mk4 Golfs in Australia since 1998 are 1.6 crossflow motors .No rocket science or secrets there I'm afraid.

[Jarred]

Gah! I need to expand my thinking, I wasn't thinking of anything past mk 3's. D'oh!
