does "complete injection swap from ABF engine" make difference in performancewise ?

Not really, unless you have it's more advanced ECU mapped to the spec of your engine.

A standard ABF with it's system is slightly more torquey mid range than a KE-Jet 6A/9A 16v, it's just a newer and more advanced system.

As it's fairly easy to get 170bhp plus from a standard K-jet system I wouldn't bother with an ABF fuel system swap hassle wise.

Any one know how much it would cost to get the whole mod done? Is it an easy job? Sounds like i might have to get it done.

 

Cheers guys

You could get the engine and box for around £500, there is a bumped MK3 16V on autotrader for 550 at the moment.

 

Fitting it is no biggy. It'll all plug into the fusebox AFAIK. I bet you could get someone to do it for less than a grand. It would take 2 solid days to DIY.

could anybody tell me if the throttle body on the 2.0l is bigger than the 1.8 16v and is it a straight swap

Done the exhaust cam mod on myn... does make abit of a difference...

The same except the small plate on the 2 litre has a big lump on it.. IIRC

what do you mean a big limp? will it flow any better than the 1.816v

[h100vw 0]

There is a lump of steel or something on the plate. Not sure of the purpose, maybe to increase torque?? It would reduce airflow I guess but whether there would be any gain from removing it I don't know. You can just stick in the plate from a KR TB.

 

If you take off the elbow onto the TB and have a look in you'll see it, may have to open the throttle as I think it's on the back of the plate.

EDIT I can see where you are going now and if it were my turbo C I'd remove it if one is fitted.

 

The 2 litre one is no bigger, so no use to you.

Keep your eyes peeled in the engine section for my new 16v throttlebody that i should be getting tommorrow.

i removed the little lump of metal from mine ,dont know how much difference it made as i ported/polished the throttle body at the same time ,but together they made it much more drivable ,especially at low revs ,made it a bit quicker ,so id recomend it considering its basically free
