My Mk1 Golf ABF conversion...

[Jarred]

I believe that the Bently manual is a US based publication and IIRC USA didn't get Seats? Pretty sure the USA also never got the ABF, which is why there isn't alot of US based aftermarket stuff (in comparison to the UK, where there is plenty)

Glad to have been for assistance. Just for the record, I'd love a set of twin carbs or something on a valver, pure porn. Hope this doesn't confuse you too much, but I think that the factory EFI would be so much easier to set up and more reliable., plus you've already got the engine there - complete and running. Just remember there will be a fair bit different with wiring looms between the EFI and carb, and small difference in fueling setups, incase you do decide to switch or upgrade etc.

16v's have a lot of potential...as Jarred said, check out clubgti forum. Lots of info on there how to squeeze out as much power as possible!
Also work looking into the archives too, two guys who do alot of playing about with ABF 16vs are GVK and Tubthump. they did alot of inlet manifold changes and head swaps (ABF v KR) and cams. They were getting 180bhp out of their motors all day long with really good torque too.
Also Paul (16vcab) is a master of valvers on there.

good luck

Haha, this is the whole reason around my original dilemma! The 'porn' factor
