Im using an AUM from a mk4 gti which runs a ko3s turbo, and is a fairly straight forward swap.
O2j cable clutch conversion diy plus#
I'll be doing my conversion for around £2000, but im doing all the work myself and have also managed to get some good deals (AUM ecu plus remap for £300!) First thing you really need to decide is which engine you want to run, as there are a fair few different 1.8t's that are compatable. you cannot however use the 8v gti box as it is too weak and will break In regards to the qpeng route, its been covered many many times, but general census seems to be qpeng is easier but more expensive and some people dont think its worth the risk of running the engine without a knock sensor (again info on this can be found using the search function, or for general info just google 'knock sensor') The plug and play harness is handy to have and saves a bit of work but the engine management qpeng uses is far inferior to running oe management. I havn't read the linked thread, as tbh I cant be arsed but you dont need to use the 1.8t box, and you dont need to convert to a hydro clutch what you need to do is get an 02a box from a 16v gti and use the seat ibiza clutch cable setup, (the reaon they use a mk2 box in the qpeng guide is because there putting it into a mk2!) this will allow you to keep a cable clucth and save messing about with pedal boxes. Im guessing my standard 020 box wont take the power hike? Will it even bolt up? With regards to wiring is it a nightmare? Could this be done by a competent mechanically minded diyer? Do I have to run aftermarket management and if so what happens with regards to the Speedo etc can I retain mk3 clocks? Any information at all would be greatly appreciated Many thanks Andy just use uprated mounts? i.e bolt straight up? Any welding/fab required? Which gearbox/flywheel/clutch/linkage. Can this been done for around £2000? Are the engine mounts in the same location i.e. Apologies if this has been asked several times before but im after some specific answers regarding the conversion. I've got my heart set on the 1.8T 20v conversion and from what ive seen/read online its been done before without too much hassle. I've maintained the car to a high standard and imo its a good clean MK3 with low miles so im looking to keep what Ive got and go for more power. I've got a MK3 8v GTI which ive owned for a couple of years now.
