timg60 0 Posted March 10, 2006 Hi guys I know this is not really C based but we are looking at a goof convertable with a 1.8 8v carb engine for our summer/daily drive whilst we sort out the c. Anyone know what these engines are like and any tuning reccomendations. Cheers Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted March 10, 2006 They are ok,go better with a dmtl webber carb and a gti cam,also worth fitting a gti exhaust manifold and full system. Make sure you get 1 for a mk1 golf gti though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timg60 0 Posted March 11, 2006 Cheers fella. Have decied to get it. But first expense is a new hood. Any idea how much for the webber? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveo29 0 Posted March 11, 2006 £200 ish for a webber kit, the vw are unreliable Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted March 11, 2006 They are about £200 for a kit. Superior carb in all respects. More power and better consumption too. A fella I know had one on a carb Jetta years ago, he threw loads of brass at it. Finally going for the Weber and regretting not shelling out on that first. I had told him.

h100vw 0 Posted March 11, 2006 Either 75 or 90. Give me the engine code from the log book, service book or data sticker in the boot and I'll look it up. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
