he liam, welcome aboard, looks all white to me! sorry couldnt resist.

 

liking the colour coded front splitter. not really into coloured wheels but i think the suit the car fairly well!

lol Thanks, soon as the engines in its getting a whole load of chroming done.

chrome n white u cant go wrong!!

Nice1 cheers ill have a good read.

Im changing my mind lyk the weather at the minute lol a cheap Agu lump just came up for me so im in two minds on which one to do now

any1?

I need a clutch any1 know of a good place to get one??

arnt 1.8t pistons the same bore as abf?

im big fan of oldskool plus i think i cud easily get more out of a 16vt conversion. (dont mean to offend lol)

I know mate, the only area im skimpin on is the management i think, its an area im not that familiar with but if a cheap system comes up for sale i might go standalone i been told it expensive tho but worth the extra cash. ill have to see when it gets to that point otherwise im just going to use chipped g60

It not really an issue I just want to do a 16vt right and not have probs down the line

I dont want to use spacer gasket or stack gaskets just so thats cleared up.

Ive decided today to get a 2E block instead. My matched piston and rod set will fit in 2E block as its 82.5mm bore. im guessing ill be better off with an ABF head????

The reason for g60 management is to keep costs down as its already spiraling out of control.

I liked the idea of 1.8 16v turbo becos i already had most of the parts to b honest

why use a gasket to drop the CR, why not do it properly...

Im not im using forged pistons and rods. what do u mean do it properly?

not all at once, lol!!

Aint been over there in ages, not since I had my redtop corsa.

 

I actually work for Toyota down on preston farm there

me neither get my rado fully on road 2moro morn cant wait keep eye out f me pal!

Ingleby barwick mate lol u go ova teesside park weds???

Right.... having looked at all the poss conversions i have decided im going to down the g60 turbo route with forged pistons and rods with a k04 turbo and modified 16v head.

Im in the process of building the block now. g60 management

Im sourcing most of the parts myself the only question I have is.....

with the block and head do i need a spacer and gasket or is 1 steel gasket sufficient? I don't want the cr to low and iv heard this is easily done with this type of conversion im looking for around 8.5.1

Also any 1 know of any problems i could possibly run into.... bearing in mind i have a 1.8 16v to start..... thought you guys would be the best people to ask?? thanks

Liam

where abouts u from im from up that way m8?

yeh ive read through it theres just so many diffent ways people have gone about the conversion

any1

1.8 16v im running just to clear up all the confusion lol

I want to upgrade my engine as im beginning to find it hard to source parts for the 1.816v.... any ideas????

I was thinking a 1.8t or for ease vr6 conversion. obviously im asking questions in rite place as i can imagine few conversions hav been done here????

I have just had the same prob lol.

Myn happened to be a flap inside the airbox not closing properly and i just discovered a leaking inlet manifold gasket

Havnt ran my 1.8 for few months nw and started it up other day because its due its m.o.t

Everything started up ok then for sum reason the car started Idling at 4000rpm

Ive tryed everything to fix it does anybody kno wat it is or has had the same prob??

Thanks

How hard is it to splice an Agu1.8t engine loom to a corrado's 1.816v
