A cream-filled mk1 build

[sports racer]

The chip controls the fuel injection. If you've seen the light and go with twins you won't need the chip.

Mine is already set up without any fuel injection wiring so when I put the 16v in I'll let you know how I did it and what wire goes where. I'll be using the main loom and parts off the spare Seat.

Cheers

Brilliant Paul! Keen to get it underway!

Will look around for twin dellortos and a set of cams for the abf, is there a specific degree of cams most suitable with these motors that you know of? (or anyone got a fave of their own?)

Also sounds like I might need a gti fuel pump and tank according to a few sources on clubgti? or is that primarily for if I didnt run the twin carbies?

Cheers guys!

You need to contact Preeny (Preen59 on this forum), he's the modified ABF guy. Send him an email as I haven't seen him here for a while. Give Matt at Camden GTI a call too. He should know which cams to get.

You don't need a GTI pump if you're going with carbies, any modern aftermarket pump will do. Mine has a Carter 4070 pump and a low pressure fuel regulator set at 2 psi.

If you were going with fuel injection you need a tank from a Diesel MK1 as they have a built in fuel return. Don't know if you need the diesel tank if you have carbies but if you find one get it.

Cheers Paul! I'll try get in contact with Matt ans Preeny and see what I can find out! I actually think I sent Matt a PM a week or two ago, but might have to call him, probably hasnt been online in a while.

Hey guys looking for a k-jet ignition module to run an ABF on Webers, anyone got one or know of one I could get hold of?
Cheers! ✌🏻

The elusive ICM huh? Mk1 cabbies and gti's, Mk2 should have em too. look for wrecks and take the loom, dizzy and ICM. Word on the street, the camiras run the same ICM, though I'm yet to see it with my own eyes

Ignition control module is smae as 8V and Camira, saab, peugeot etc.

What you will need is a Saab distributor if you are going without the factory knockbox ignition ( ICM is supplementary to this ) as the knockbox controls spark timing ( ICM doesn't ) Sabb dizzy is also mechanical advance instead of vacuum.

Thanks heaps for all the help guys! Got hold of a computer and will have the wiring done as soon as the motor is dropped in!

In other news.. these arrived today. Wow. Photos dont do them justice, just sayin'.





Getting excited whilst collecting all the parts together, should be good fun when all together! 😜😜

Just need to find a manifold to mate these up to the 16v and everything is comin' up milhouse!

[The_Hawk]

Great work, it's coming together nicely.

everything is comin' up milhouse!

Best line I've read in a while!

[Notso Swift]

Sexy!
Can I ask how much they cost brand new like that?

Yeahh slowly but surely! Just need to find the manifold then i can start putting it all together and sooner rather than later, drop it all in and enjoy it!

They really are! Hehe it was $1400 brand new including a linkage kit and shipped to my door interstate the next day fully assembled as well as the linkages ready to go!

I would definitely recommend Weber Performance down in Victoria!

I'll also be dropping a brand new Holden Barina radiator as seen in Browneye's and many more others mk1's on Thursday! Make room for these vicious stacks!

Looks like I'd better get in touch with my machinist and see what he charges to make a few manifolds.

Got to be better than getting one from Germany at $650 + postage.

Yeah theres a company in the UK that have them for $450 + postage, but surely theres someone here that has for cheaper??
