ABF conversion on a 16V KR URGENT HELP PLEASE

[shaunje 10]

Hi everyone,

 

I've got a Corrado 16V 1.8 KR and it seems to be fairly unhappy. It's making some evil noises, it's chucking out out all over the bottom of the car and I think the clutch is murdered too.

 

I have an ABF sat on my driveway that I think I should throw in as I can not be without a car. I figured it's probably quicker and easier to run it on the KR's K-JET system. Is there anything I need to do to put this engine into my car or can I just pull the KR out and drop the ABF in plug and play?

 

I'm in a major rush so any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Shaun

Club gti forum has a specific thread on this conversion, but it should essentially be plug in and go, use the inlet manifold from the kr for the injectors, not 100 % about the rear engine mount height but the block is only 10mm or so longer

cant find said thread, their search facility is bloody useless!

As David says the block is higher, in fact by 15mm if I remember correctly, so with an "early" bonnet you will almost certainly need to modify it a little.

Will the exhaust manifold from the KR swap straight to the ABF?
