1.8T GTI vs R32 Swap Rabbit
golf rabbit mk1 gti 1.8t first start
heter the first start of my mk1 1.8t swap. sorry about my voice but i was really exited.
Put this project together over the winter and did the actual swap in the last month with guidance from threads on Corrado club of Canada, vwvortrx, and wetdub.
Hi. No frequency problems per say.
Once or twice I would lose electrical gas peddle input, she would just
idle, but I cleaned my grounding points and no issues since. No priming
issues from the tank either. Seems the stock corrado fuel pump can handle
the K03 well at 17 lbs boost.
Car is SUPER peppy now compared to the original powerplant. Not too much
so, easy to drive easy too, but give her more than 1/4 pedal and she just
takes off!
0-140kms coming out of fourth in under 8 seconds easy. Lays rubber in 4 of
the 5 gears, and might chirp on the fifth gear change as well but I haven't
been able to test that yet. Need to get her on a track to really know for
sure..
Cheers.
how easy is it to swap any engine in a rabbit?? like if i buy one that came
with 4 wheel disc brakes, a/c and stick and awd i would like to swap my
motor for a diesel HA that would be nice!!!! what year rabbit came with all
those things did american rabbits ever come with diesels?
well this vid. was used to help me sell the car and your right it deserves
to be driven on a country road. btw if you bought if off the jerk off that
bought it from me tell him i want my plate back!!
yeah the dare plate! if you got it or know its where abouts i would like to
have it back. those plates are discontinued here in PA and i would like to
put it on my car!
i own this car now and you are an idiot for ripping around a parking lot
with this car it deserves to be driven on windy back country roads not mall
lots
