White2505 0 Posted December 22, 2005 so if I read right. to take a 1.8 kr to a 2 litre I need a crank and conrods from a 9a engine? are these rare as rocking horse **** or are they readily available? if so where from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted December 22, 2005 dont think its that simple,think bores are wider Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
White2505 0 Posted December 22, 2005 so, If I have read all the searched material correctly I can bolt my kr head and other ancillaries straight onto an abf or 9a bottom end for instant 2.0l appeal, power and torque? sweet! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted December 22, 2005 yeah,im doin it at the moment using a 6a engine from audi 80! ABF blocks are 18mm taller so there might be clearance issues but the 9a/6a blocks are identical to kr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
White2505 0 Posted December 22, 2005 cool, seems daft spending money on my goosed 1.8 bottom end when I can have a definate 2.0l. just gotta find a bottom end for sensible money. disappears to wanted section! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted December 22, 2005 You will have clearance problems using ABF block with KR manifold(that's in a golf),but a raddo has larger bonnet clearance so shouldn't be a problem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
White2505 0 Posted December 22, 2005 nice one thanks for the help guys, am definately on the look out for a 2.0l bottom end now so i can get my c back on the road Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted December 22, 2005 cos the abf is taller,the zorst downpipe hits on bulkhead but a hammer cures this! I bought a whole audi for £300 off ebay,managed to sell about £150 worth of stuff off it already aswell! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
White2505 0 Posted December 22, 2005 really need to get just the bottom end as mine is in the gargae in bits currently and the missus would go spare if I brought another car home.... especially if I started stripping it on the drive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought a whole audi for £300 off ebay,managed to sell about £150 worth of stuff off it already aswell! That's true ,but not by much,my four branch was bent already and fitted no problems,my mates ABF lump we modified the back engine mount to sit motor lower. Its all worth while as the torque gains are impressive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
