KR/9a hybrid?

[vwdeviant 0]

Is it possile to sling a KR head on a 9a bottom end?

 

If so will I have to go K-jet rather than the current K-E-Jet (9a)?

 

Wondering, as I'm after a stage 2 KR head/cams for cheap and wondering if I can use it? If so what difference will it make?

you can keep the ke jet, head will fit fine

Nice so just a straight forward head swap then?

 

Any ideas how I tell a "staged" head/ Fast road cams from a stock ones?

 

Also Can I re-use the 9a inlet/exhaust manifolds or do I need the KR ones???

 

Apparently an ABF Head Gasket is the best to use?

Difficult to tell, normally re-grinds

Yes

Fancy a head swap for Gooney tokens when you feel up to it?

There's something to do with fueling in KE-Jet along the lines of shutting the fuel off on over run so it doesn't damage the cat, K Jet doesn't. I think you'll kill the cat, and fail your emissions.

 

Better off buying an earlier car that doesn't need a cat and putting the 9A block in.

Indeed it does and it would.

That's a possibility. It would have to be done at OPO Euro-Tuning headquarters though. Can be done in a day as well.

Ahha! As it's a 92 I can just bin the cat! (Which was the intention once it died TBH!) and get £60 scrap for that! ;)

 

Stu OPO Euro Tuning's Workshops sounds fine!
