st4stokie 10 Posted January 19, 2013 As title, what are the advantages of converting the 1.8 16v to a 2.0 lump and how do you do this? I've just brought another Rado after selling my VR6 converted 93 one (still have my 95 VR6). I've brought a 1.8 16v J Reg 91 with 95K genuine miles, and am wondering apart from the difference in performance what other gains can be had from converting it to 2.0?? Also how is the conversion done, is it just the bottom end of an 2.0 ABF engine?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted January 19, 2013 Usually people use the 6A (Audi) or 9A Corrado bottom end. Pretty much straight swap. Will give more power/torque. Should see 150bhp+. Davidwort has done this- worth having a look at his gallery thread. There's also a 16v tuning guide in the Wiki. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
