What cam is this? Suggestions for replacement?

There was a mk1 caddy in PVW recently running on quad snowmobile carbs which was interesting.

Quick question can you run American spec ABA cams and cam gears, lifters etc in 2E golf motors? Like the ones you get from TM tuning and MJM autohaus?

I'm looking for a few things to put into my golf.

wah there. I would lve quad IDF's or smething similar on a V8! aaahhhh! yea baby.

Jsh is right though, PM Dom abut the quad bike carbs. Very similar to ITB's, and cmpact design, + gd price makes them a very option!

Pitty they look like crap compared to a pair of DCOEs.

And yes i CAN say that, because i DO own a pair.

I helped out syncronising 6 down drafts on a V12 Jag engine once. Never again!

Have you ever tried to tune multi carb setups?

2 side drafts is about my limit.

ABA would help clear up the clutter, for sure.

ITB's, or quad carbs, defiantly the go, but I would be looking more forward to twin DCOE's!

dude quad carbs FTW, cheaper than DCOE's and prob sound just as horn

I`m not biting mate. I brought in 10 16vs and it took 4 years to get rid of em all!

Not 02 gearboxes though

[Golf Loon]

you know you wanna get a whole shipment of ABA heads in loon

There was a fabulous Mk1 in Golf+ a couple of months ago with an aba engine running kjet in the uk. It is a rare setup over there too, but the yanks love it.

I`d love to see an ABA crossflow motor in Oz.

Sounds like a good idea to me!

Wonder what's out there in the way of manifolds

Looks like the K-Jet would have to go.

I could start off with twin sidedrafts and progress to ITBs later on.

Hmmmm

I saw that split 16vt doing the rounds on vortex a while ago. Looking at it again, and being in the process of fabricating a short runner intake manifold myself, I can't believe how crap that intake manifold is. And the IC pipes have some horrible bends in them. Goes to show though whats achievable on what looks like only 2" IC pipes! Puts things in perspective. Mind you you can just see the exhaust manifold - spaghetti city.

Holy crap batman! That's my new wall paper - how cool is that!

[Golf Loon]

That is an awesome pic. Imagine the bang that made letting go!!

I`d also like to see you get a head into your suitcase Pete!

I reckon a specialised junk yard in the US could surface mail you a head in 6 weeks for under $100.

I cant beleive that pick of the 16vt block split in half! Thats unreal, sure says something for the quality of the other components used in the engine build up that it didnt break a conrod first and throw it through the side of the block! Ive seen some massive hp turbo 16v's and not just vw's using nitrous to bring the engine into boost quickly and eliminate the turbo lag associated with big turbos even though they are roller bearing units. I can remember brian at gti imports having some 8v cross flow heads from the states, he might be worth a try peter. But a better bet is ebay motors usa for the head, check this out, Item number: 370044397810. Its a 2l 8v cross flow head fully reco'd! Or a standard used one Item number: 320244682519. You can find heaps of goodies on ebay motors usa!
