how easy is using 16v head on 8v engines ?

[VWci 0]

hi fellas,

 

i wonder that how easy is using 16v head on 8v engines ?

 

for instance, on 1.8 8v mk2s or 2.0 8v mk3s

 

very easy, easy, not easy, difficult :D

Difficult.

 

Tell us the rest of the question, why do you want to know?

So using 16v heads on G60s,mk2 8v gtis and mk3 8v gtis are difficult....

 

why am i asking? 16v G60 is the answer......;)

I've done it,fitted a 'kr' 16v head on a 'PG' block using the G60 pistons,horribly low C/R,but i was boosting nearly 2 bar turbo press...,is it difficult?,well that's quite a loaded question,how skilled are you?,what tools do you have access to? do you have a garage?,....

1 thing is certain,the oil ways DO line up on the 'PG' block when using a 'KR' head,it's not the actual fitting,it's all the other small things that cause headscratching/swearing etc.

like not having a breather and needing cut outs in the psitons

Far easier to fit low comp pistons in a KR/9A block. The 'normal' route to doing a 16VG60 as far as I am concerned is to start with a G60/PG and use a KR motor and go from there. A lot less parts to obtain.

 

Put 16V G60 into google and lose a day or 2 reading.

i may go with this route next year 270 bhp with boot loads of torque sounds good to me and bm sell kits that seem to take a lot of the headaches away.

If you do billinjahg60 mnake sure get them to supply you with front mount alternator brackets. You will need a new alt as well though..
