1.8GTI motor in Mk1?

[Jarred]

I used to have a 32/36 on my old 1.6. I've actually got it, and a few parts lying around, that may be of use to you. (inc spare webbers)

I bought a 'rebuild' kit off ebay. Just had a few seals, o rings etc, and new jets.

PM me if you're interested.

how would you go with wiring to the standard ECU? things like immobilisor and key barrels etc? Does it only need a small 'custom' loom, rather than a complete wiring loom?

Sorry, now that you bring it up, it's something that I was thinking about the other day.

Early cordobas dont have a coded key and the loom only runs from the dissy, to the ecu, coil and temp sensor. It is very self contained and only needs an earth, a live and maybe a couple of others. You could run it off the standard Mk1 fusebox if you were keen.

I think I'm gonna keep it simple (at least initially) and go with a 32/36 weber. Anyone had any experience buying weber rebuild kits off ebay? What about jet sizes?

I'll put out a WTB in the for-sale forum for the other stuff I'll need (aircleaner, fuel pump etc)

i had this setup only problem i found with it was, that due to the weber being mouned side ways, it tends to suffer from fuel surge when de-cellerating and turing right. but if you adapt your driving style you can overcome this. as for jet sizes, they are a pain, just take it to a pro, save yourself the headaches.

Thanks for the help so far guys.

Can someone let me know which airfliter assembly and fuel pump would suit?
Is there a problem with getting the filter to not hit the bonnet?
Will I need a fuel pressure regualtor?
THanks again!

motor is in and running!
