Apparently you can modify a 1300 Golf distributor to fit a 16V.

I think thats an urban myth Phil. I dont know anyone who has sucessfully got it to work. I know lots of people who could not get it to work properly.

I used to modify 1300 dizzies by maching the base and fitting Beetle drives to them,but I will have a 16v ignition computer and loom for sale very shortly.If you can wait a bit let me know.

Just did something to the drive end. Don't know what????
I know he sold a fair few of them.

You can make em fit in there, but the curve and other things are wrong. I have sold at last 3 dissys to people who bought one of the bodgyed polo ones.

I would be looking to fit a 16V dissy and ECU to make things simple. After that a piggy back computer to get the timing just right would be worth installing.

I had one from Racelogic called VSAM which was easy to use and program.

The curve is an easy fix. Can be set at anything that you want for around $50. I've had special curves done before.

I realize this is an old post but I tried the Jaycar kit you have mentioned.

For about $300 you can buy and build it. It consists of the new 2007 programmable module, LCD controller and Coil driver.

I have installed it into a Merc M126 V8, as the factory module died and would have cost upwards of 2-$3000 to replace new!
I aslo pre tested in a Mk3 Suzuki swift.

You can also map the ignition against Manifold pressure.

Ideally you would need a dyno or second person to assist with the mapping.

Cheers,
