Looks like a minter of a mk2 to start with! Good luck with it, look forward to seeing the progress

 

Thanks Mate..

 

that is gonna b Noicccce

 

I like it dude, hybrid it and remap and you'd have a savagely quick mk2 that'll still give 45mpg without a bother

 

Nice project you have there,

Do keep us updated with pic's

Best of luck with it

Sounds like your speaking from personal experiance brian..

Best of luck, cant say i've heard of too many of them tbh. Binning the dpf? what gearbox you using?

 

Top job so far finding such a clean mk2 and the engine.

Are you giong to steam clean the engine bay first or just get the engine in asap.

Have you checked to see if the bonnet will close with the rocker cover so high?

All the best, and please do keep us updated with info and pics as this would be very helpful to anyone trying this in the future! (aimly myself if I do haa!)

Not really dude, been reading up on the 16v's lately and with the power to weight ratio it'd be a savage wee motor... Imagine all that torque

My mk2 is a 1.6d ffs... although... WIP

 

Thats going to be banana's

 

nice project man, look fwd to reading about this

best of luck

 

Great choice of engine, nice and different. A lot quieter that the 1.9 too. Good luck with the project.

 

That should be very nice and fun, make sure its small bumper!

 

Nice project. Keep the photos coming though.

Don't think those engines had a dpf. I was just the BMN lump. Could be wrong though.

 

Thanks guys...

To try and answer all the questions above and give a little more info..

Got the car from england as well worth paying the extra in my view to get it over here.

The whole car will be getting re-painted, so the engine bay will be cleaned lol, the engine is going to be in and out 100 times by the time it goes in for the final time it wont be a straight fit like a AAZ or a 1600 GTD lump etc.

I am using the 6 speed gearbox which i think is different from the 6 speed box that comes on the PD 1900 engine's??

It will be staying OEM look.. More details will follow in the build have a fair few bits together already at this stage but dont want to dump in all in on one post lol..

Heard that I can be looked at around 197bhp with 320lbs ft torque with a good remap, enough for any man but of course theres room for alot more with a few upgrades but with it going to be my daily i dont want anything OTT plus with the extra cost needed..

 

this will be a serious car lad

Fair play keep at it

 

fair play, nice project

 

Nice idea for a project. You will not be disappointed, I done something similar myself last winter.

 

thanks again guys

@billy fill me in

 

nice project, will be rare too, do it right when you are doing it anyway

 

This sounds like a class project, try and keep us updated

 

Will be keeping an eye on this one.

 

Nice one hendy, love to see this progress.......Do you still have the mk1 cab ?

 

Aye still have the cab, only did about 1000miles in it the last 2 years.. Shame really..

Yea, Basically I converted a 1.6mk2 driver to run with a 1.9 8v pd and 6 speed 02m.
There is a lot of work in it. Biggest obstacle will be getting it wired up. Was looking at the BKD wiring diagrams, looks similar to the ARL except for a few minor differences. Are you keeping the mk5 clocks and keys or going to remove the immobilizer?

The gearbox you have looks like an 02m, but ifs its the 6 speed 02s your using, you should have less problems. It should be easier to mount than an 02m, lets you use mk2 gti/g60 drive shafts (02m needs custom shafts made up) and you have the possibility to use a cable to drive the speedometer (with some gearbox modifications), allowing you to keep mk2 clocks.

The next biggest job is mounting the engine and gearbox but how difficult its going to be all depends on what mounts you use. Are you going to use mk5 engine/gearbox mounts or mk2 type mounts?

Make sure you fit power steering!!

Where are you based?

Hi Billy,

if you have the diagram for the BKD could you mail it to me?? Save us having to look for it come the time.. We are not looking to run the mk5 clocks or keys.. so getting a guy up north here to remove the immobilizer and later to do the map..

Aye its the 02m, the mate has the mount drawn up now and should be ready this weekend all being well. We where half hoping we might have been able to use the MK5 drives as both are the same length, with the setup thats in place.. As for speedo we have a few different idea's like poss running off the ABS senors.

Mounting we are going to use a mix of both mk2 and mk5 mounts.. This block where the back mount would be part of the drive runs over it and looks like we have to cut the mount away off the sub frame for a nice fit.. so that leaves use having to make something up using the side mount thats on there.. But that side mount on there is a awful desgin so we should be able to come up with something that fits better all being well...

Long Long way to go yet, but so far so good... lets hope it stays that way..

on the update front, I picked up some mk4 back brakes last weekend, so that should do our trick for the rear anyways..
