Gti6 Conversion

[matt gti78 0]

Guy's,

 

I'm need of abit of help.

 

So I can start preparing for the conversion from a 1.9 8v to the GTI6 engine by acquiring the parts, could someone give me an idea of the parts that I'll require to convert pretty please.

 

I know there are afew mods that need to be looked at, but apart from that, I have not got a clue.

 

So the list starts with :

 

Engine

Gearbox

Unlocked ECU

Re-angled EX Manifold

 

 

Any other tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Oh yes, this is to help build another dedicated track car, it will never touch the road again while its in my prosession.

 

Cheers

Matt

You really need to search the forum as all the answers are here, check current and past conversion threads and just do a lot of reading.

 

Also check the for sale section as roland is selling a conversion package quite cheap.

I've just done abit of reading on SorrentoPete's project converting to a GTI6 and I think I'll be following what he's done but without the PAS or A/C.

 

I better start collecting some items.

[chrisj21 2]

I'm ditching the pas and ac on mine too.

 

Most use the xsara vts 5 speed box and you loose a lot of lock with the 6 speed box.

 

You'll also need a vss (vehicle speed sensor) from an s16, this has both the cable and wire ports and also a lambda probe amongst other things.

From my previous track car, I had a 1.9 engine and 1.6 gearbox for the acceleration and on the track it was perfect for how I drove it.

 

Would a 1.6 gearbox fit the gti6 engine ?

[chrisj21 2]

Yes it will fit fine i'm sure, unsure of the clutch you need to use though.

i'm unning a 1.6 box on mine no probs.

 

you will need a mi16 clutch though as its push not pull like the vts/gti6

Heres one that might help but its not sorrentopetes though Marksorrento

[chrisj21 2]

Or mine, see sig below

 

In reality there are more parts you need as things break when you take them off, things rust etc etc. Without a doubt make sure you change the timing belt/waterpump while the engines out.

 

You may also want to upgrade the front brakes too, i'll be using vts front calipers with some decent disks and pads.
