- Quick video on how I converted my 1991 Mk2 Scirocco from a 2.0L 16v ABF engine to a 1.8T 20v AGU engine.
The procedure is pretty much the same for all A1 VW chassis vehicles - mk1 golf, scirocco, jetta etc
All in the swap took around 2 months to do (I was lucky enough to have most parts to hand already) and in the grand scheme of things it is not a hard conversion at all. The car is my daily driver and i’ve done a out 20000 miles on this setup absolutely hassle free engine wise!
If you are undergoing a similar conversion on your classic VW and have some questions don’t hesitate to drop a comment below and i’ll do what I can to help. You can also contact me and follow me on the socials, mainly through instagram @mk2daz

that is awesome, i wish i had the time, money and knowledge to do something like this to mine lol
me too brother me too
Well done! I wouldn'tve changed a thing!
I like when a project is completed. Great job. And you’ve answered a few questions I have. Particularly the fitting of the 02a transmission on the 1.8t.
Nice one🔥 i did the same in Germany with K04 turbo. Best budget swap out there. Keep going!
I follow you on instagram i think, awesome car and awesome build!
Very cool.Well done...when can i expect delivery to California?😂
Nice... I'd like to do a MKI with a 1.8T
Like the sound of the turbo engine 🎉. Good choice, much better than the G60 crap
It's really nicely done
Very nice, I really recommend new rods for 1.8T builds ( one of the weakest links)
Nicely done❤
I have a similar idea😊
Nice work!
1.8T 20v AGU engine. but in a Polo 86c Can someone give me some video or what engine do you recommend?
Hey, I am looking to swap my Mk3 with a ABF, but have also been considering a 1.8t... Can you outline their pros and cons? I would imagine the 1.8t is slightly more expensive to install. Reliability? Parts availability?
When you dropped the engine and trans in did you drop them in together or separate? I’m doing a swap right now and I’m worried that there won’t be enough room to squeeze them both in while they’re linked together.
They go in together absolutely fine 👍🏻
Hey there! What is your fuel pump setup looks like? Im running an AUQ in my rocco.
Hey! So i run a 55L carb tank, with a fuel injected model lift pump to draw it from the tank, this then fills a plastic swirl pot that you would also find on a fuel injected scirocco/mk1 golf, i then have a K-Jet bosch main pump that pulls it from the swirl pot, through a fuel filter then into the engine bay to the fuel rail. Hope that helps!
@@mk2daz Thx for the answer! I also use a lift pump + a passat 35b main pump but it is a bit complicated i think, and want to convert it to run only from a single pump that is in the tank.
Where'd ya find that pipe with the two ports on it between the 90deg on the turbo and the 90deg by the ignition amp? Is that something custom?
Yeah thats custom, basically just a straight bit of 63mm alloy with 2 ports welded in. My ignition amplifier is also relocated to behind the front grille so its constantly cooled by flowing air 👍🏻
Anyone have a write up for this. Just starting to learn to do my 81 rabbit
I need to know what type of motor mount you used (I HAVE 1986 MK2 SCIROCCO)
Hi, I used epytec conversion mounts, for the engine mount and the side and rear gearbox mounts, the front gearbox mount next to the starter motor you can just use original mount - hope that helps!
Sounds like you might have a two liter sixteen valve for sale cheap?
Afraid not, i’ve kept it to rebuild for something else 👍🏻
It never hurts to ask.
Quite right. They are a hard engine to get hold of now!
I am doing the same on my GTI Mk2. What throttle body did you use?
Just the standard 1.8T throttle body. Or do you mean the throttle cable?
@@mk2daz throttle body.. also I am converting to G60 hubs with 5x100 and Mk4 GTI front disk setup. I just don't know if the 288x25mm disk will fit. The calipers are plug in play.
What engine mounts and brackets was used?
Can use the standard scirocco front mount. The engine mount and side gearbox mount is an Epytec item. The rear gearbox is also an epytec item but varies on 02J/02A gearboxes, the rubber mount on the rear however i used a mk1 diesel mount as they are slightly beefier and can handle the extra weight no problem. Hope that helps!
What happened to the abf engine?
Spun a big end bearing, not sure exactly why, maybe clogged up oil pickup pipe or oil starvation while cornering, the car was seeing its fair share of abuse on a highlands road trip when it happened
What is the weight ratio to HP?
i think its running about 220hp and probably weighs around 1000kg (both estimates!)
What wheels do u have on that
BBS replica type things, believe they are 15x7
@@mk2daz thanks thinking of something like that for my rabbit
