My TDI Jetta Road to 350 petrol converted horses

<< < (12/12)

Shoduchi:
It's so much easier to get 350 BHP or more with a 2.0 TFSI BYD, BWJ, BHZ or CDL engine... The retrofit is also easier as well.

Why not sell that engine and get one of the above mentioned? :confused:

V3trox:
If it turns out getting the 20v to run is to much work then i will sell it off and get a tfsi but as the engine was sitting there i decided to have a go.

I will also have the bkd to sell which will in itselft pay for a 2.0tfsi but lets try the 1.8 first and take it from there.

xjay1337:
While I appreciate your valiance by the time you have bothered trying to get the 1.8T to run you'll have wasted your time
ECU is different so you'll have to either run standalone ecu or move whole wiring loom over
Clusters are diff (not retrofittable easily between models)
Mk5 is canbus mk4 is not again sensor signals are speaking a different language (go back to my point RE ecu).

please just sell the 1.8t and buy the engine that's supposed to go into the car. it hasn't been done before for a reason.
