roo 0 Posted February 15, 2005 Someone briefly mentioned this in a post a while back and I'm trying to get some more info on it. I have a 9A block with KR head that i'm rebuilding at the mo and what i'm wondering is wether it would be a relatively straight forward swap to ditch my K-Jet in favour of a Golf Mk3 16V injection system. Any thoughts would be appreciated chaps :) Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted February 16, 2005 keep the k-jet,its good for well over 200bhp and its simple! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted February 16, 2005 Yeah I agree stick with K-jet, or of you really want a difference, throttle bodies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 16, 2005 K jet is a LOT more responsive than the MK3 Golf injection system so I'd keep it too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roo 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Ok then, sounds like good 'ol K-Jet wins the day again!. I'm quite surprised though as I expected a newer system to perform better, perhaps it's like comparing records to CD's... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polo Classic 0 Posted February 17, 2005 What about using the Digifant on the 16v. with good mapping it should be easier to set up than K-jet, and more precise Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted February 17, 2005 K jet is a LOT more responsive than the MK3 Golf injection system so I'd keep it too. I have a MK3 16V and the throttle response on that is razor sharp just like a MK1 GTI. The 8Vs are a bit laggy IMO. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
destructiv dave 0 Posted February 17, 2005 I've just bought a 2l 16v and may be going Mk3 digifant route but most probably will go the Mega Squirt route. K-jet is adequate and simple to set up, but I may be going FI later so will need a system to cope with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any thoughts would be appreciated chaps :) Cheers. Mk 3 16v system has a major advantage in that it's mappable and as a result it is possible to get better power, torque and fuel economy... in theory anyway. In reality the K-jet is reliable, feels responsive and works very well, plenty of 170bhp+ 2.016v's running on K-jet. The major disadvantage in changing from K-jet, apart from potential cost of replacing components that break in the future, is the changes to the cars wiring etc required, could end up being a major headache. For the record, (on K-jet)I've gone from 1.8 to 2.0 (on 2 different engines) and from standard head to ported and polished and different exhausts and manifolds and all I've needed to do is tweak the warm up regulator to get it running a bit richer. In fact the money I have saved on not having to have re-maps has more than paid for my new ported and polished head. David. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
