So I have pretty much scrapped the 16v idea.. I am still going to run a Heron on K-Jet but with a bit of a difference...

Its a secret for now and no one bar me knows about it but let me tell you this, it will create some controversy and will not be to everyones taste but at the end of the day, its my car and I am building it for myself

[Jarred]

how different do you wanna get??

herron 1.6 is pretty diff as it is I reckon.

Ok, so I am not going to hide it, its pointless and I want to talk about it and get advice. The plan is still to buy Andrews cabby GLI which means 1.6 Heron motor as well as all GTI running gear.

I will be swapping over the Heron (with K-Jet), GTI Brakes, Koni front suspension (Weitecs coming when I can afford them), GTI Sway bars, Cabby fuel tank and 5sp box (will probably swap for a diesel 4sp at some stage as I am told these are better and stronger?).

Anyway, the plan is turbo charge the Heron motor still running on K-Jetronic so we will see how that goes, so far I have been told its either relatively straight forward or rather impossible to get right and right now I am trying to do some research as to which is correct. I would love it running on K-Jetronic as I would like to keep the car as period as possible. I am in the middle of purchasing Mahle 8.5:1 pistons from the states so these should drop the compression right down to allow for decent boost. I am considering a callaway turbo kit but unsure if these run on K-Jet... silly question, is CIS the same as K-Jet?

[Water Boy]

Maybe some of the guys on Club GTI know about Turbo and Kjet!

[Jarred]

Tim will be able to tell you everything about turboing a Kjet you'll ever need to know.

there was a thread on here that he wrote up that had all the basic info, have a search for that.

[roccodingo]

K jet ( K jetronic ) is the same as CIS ( Continuous injection system ??)
