minkeya 0 Posted January 31, 2007 Hi there!! After alot of deliberation and investigation I am converting my 1.8 16v to a 2 litre (shes Nugget Yellow, woo hoo!) Am lookin for an engine? Ps has anyone heard of a V5 conversion (from a mk4 Golf) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rustynuts 0 Posted January 31, 2007 Good choice, match to a ported head and 4 branch manifold you will have a nice engine. V5 conversion would be a waste of time, the engine is not that powerful and you would be better off going V6 from a 4 motion or R32 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

minkeya 0 Posted January 31, 2007 Cheers guys, hopefully the Phirm are gonna sort me out with the 2.0 once I've found one, been advised on Kent cams too. Much abliged! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rustynuts 0 Posted January 31, 2007 You can go with Kent cams, but standard KR cams are really good and not sure the extra money spent on Kents will really be worth it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
