MK4/MKIV 2.0L 8v AEG/AZG -> 16v head swap

[rjcmets5]

do you think i could use 2002 1.8t fuel injectors.. i have some laying around from an audi i parted out and there real clean

[elRey]

you'll need injector seat extensions, the right connectors (if you are using a AZG+ harness), and your software will need to be programed for them.

[rjcmets5]

so what fuel injectors do you recommend i use

I was thinking about doing this to my 8v BEV, would that be any different? harder? easier?

Just saw this for the first time. Very nice build man.

late answer, easier due to your returnless fuel system.

Thank you

for the problem everyone seems to encounter with using the 16v distributor location as a camshaft position sensor'
there is a factory solution to that.
the audi v8 powered cars from mid 90's or late 90's had a camshaft position sensor mounted in that exact location.
there is another thread in the 16v forums showing pictures of this.
same location; plug and play.

here is the answer to this puzzle:

looks like abz cam extends out of head and trigger wheel is bolted directly to the end of cam, very similar to 1.8t.

Not sure I would call this plug-n-play. How do you propose we bolt wheel to cam?

[16valvulasturbo]

I WILL HAVE A LOOK AT MY 16V CAMSHAFT. MAYBE IT HAS A PRE-TAPPED HOLE? OR IT CAN BE DONE AT A MACHINE SHOP.
OR RUN THE AUDI pt CAMSHAFT IN THE HEAD.

[elRey]

There's no pre-drilled hole, not large enough to tap for that trigger wheel bolt. And the end of the 16v cam is set back into the head. So, there needs to be some extension needed between cam end and trigger wheel to place the trigger wheel further out for the hall sensor to reach it.

Sorry, not as plug-n-play as you were hoping.

wow great build, very nicely done. im interested in what fuel system you used to run naturally aspirated. same injectors/fuel rail?

[elRey]

stock mk4 2.0L injectors / fpr in any flavor 16v fuel rail (bbm) + mk4 fpr adapter. (and possibly injector seat extensions if your injectors are too short).

just throwing this out there, but couldn't you just use a dizzy from an ABF? The ABF uses a crank trigger and uses the CPS from the Dizzy right? I just imported mine from the UK for $60 shipped. I could be wrong though.

Nice I think this is my next project soon as i'am done with my suspension I want to attack this 16v swap . I have a 2000 Golf that was a us spec gem an built one (not mex or pen) I was trying to figure out what motor I have? The BBW only came in like 02 and up? So I was wondering years later are you still running the same OG head I know I seem you turbo ed it some Iam guessing you rebuilt it at least that time but how many Miles are one it? what was you gas mileage on a semi stock 16V head swap ? What motor in the mk4 2.0L fam is best for this swap? Thanks Great build I can't wait to start I have had a few 16V in my younger years and a few VR but iam looking froward to being in the 16V relm again . i always liked the intake mani its the little things some time or just striving to be different lol ..

I'm still working on collecting parts for this project, but wondering if anyone knows the injector output for the stock 2.0 injectors. For example, the stock 1.8t injectors are 318cc.

Obviously the stock 2-liter injectors work in this application, but ideally you'd want dual spray cones for the 16v head. If I can source some dual spray cone injectors that have a similar otput to the stock 2.0 units that would be ideal.

I have been reading threads like this for months and finally decided to join vortex. Ive got tons of respect for those of you doing this project and I just picked up a 9a head to start this project myself.
