I'm in abit of a pickle I'm currently undergoing loads of research on doing a 1.8t conversion in my 1.4 arosa MK1 but havent found anything to really help me as seem to be done all on lupos I know there pretty much the same has anyone here done his conversion themselves I know that I need:
shorter L/H driveshaft with 100mm inner
Standard R/H driveshaft with 100mm inner
Bigger breaks probably from gti lupo
Smaller engine fan
Conversion engine and gearbox mount (found someone who sells them on eBay for £250)
Wiring loom needs either changing or soldering engine bay side idk what way is easiest (idk what the fxck I'm doing with the loom all help will be greatly appreciated)
Pedal box for throttle as 1.8t are fly by wire
Different clutch pedal
What Im not sure about
Do I use the same fuel pump?
Do I need to cut the chassis ?
Do I need to weld anything ?
What do I do about exhaust is that something I'm going to have to get custom made ?
What do I do about the immobilizer from the 1.8t engine, do I need to change key barrel etc ?
If I have missed anything or got anything wrong please let me know as don't want to come into any problems during my conversion
Thanks for reading
All help will be greatly appreciated
