lucas's 1.6 to 1.8t conversion

[Feeine]

As a few of you guys know, I've been wanting to do this conversion for awhile now. Finally found the money and time :please here's how it unfolded. All work was done in a single weekend.

Firstly start pulling apart the 1.6


Also that afternoon the gti wreck was delivered. Big thanks to matt at Camden gti. Gave me a great price on the car and delt with my mum because I had no time to contact him at work lmao.

the donor car: 125xxxkm, service history, red recaros and most importantly 1.8t goodness


1.6 out.




And 1.8t coming out. Was really easy. Had the two cars facing eachother. I pulled out the 1.6 as dad was checking wiring etc on 1.8t









Currently only have access to internet on my phone so I'll update it in the near future. Put a pod filter straight on (as you do) and just been enjoying the flutter and intake sound tune, exhaust, k04 and plenty more coming soon.
Cheers Lucas.

That is so cool. I've considered swapping out the 8V AEG 2.0 engine I got in my MK4 to a 1.8t or VR6, but not sure if I could really be bothered, let alone the cost. This looks awesome though, definitely a whole lot more with the added turbo!

This finished up as a really tidy conversion. Everything was finished nicely. Looking forward to the tune. Well done mate. Looking forward to hunting WRX's with ya.

Can you just sling me the 1.6 for spares mate
