Hi,
I have an 85 924 2.0 na which I use for Road Rallying and Autocross events and I plan to put a 1.8T 20v Engine in.
Just thought i'd do a thread as many other 1.8T 924 guys have done, to help others, as these guys have helped me.
I've read many threads and can see there are a few ways to do the conversion, but I am many following Steve924's, but I plan to use the engine standard with possibly a Revo Chip because I want to use the standard 924 torque tube/transaxle/gearbox. The reason is as I am on the Isle of Man and there are not a lot of 944's here to strip bits from. I know I can get bits from a breakers yard in the Uk I currently have 3x 924 gearbox/tube/trans so figure If I can get it to work I have a lot of spares.
Things needed for the conversion
AEB Engine
Custom Mounts
Custom Sump - Modified MK1 Golf
Pickup Pipe - From 1.9Tdi
Shortened Golf Inlet Manifold with Custom Throttle Body
MK4 Golf Bellhousing
VR6 Slave Cylinder and Hydraulic Fluid Pot
Solid Flywheel and Cover from Golf
Clutch Plate - 228mm, 13/16 shaft, 24 spline
Custom Starter Motor Bracket
Custom Downpipe & Exhaust
The plan is to get all of the above, get it in the car running and then look at other options such as Emerald Ecu, FMI, Injectors and Ko3s
Anyway here is the car
Its pretty much standard apart from a few mods -
2 inch spacers to lift nose
Full length sump guard
Citroen xsara steelies - so I can use 15" forest tyres
Bucket seats
Half Cage
Hydraulic Handbrake
EBC Yellow Stuff Pads
Managed to buy a old 1999 Passat with an AEB Engine for £30! Bargin
The Clutch plate I plan to use will be a Solid Flywheel conversion for the Flywheel/Cover/Bearing from a GOLF AGU as that is the bellhousing I have
Few things to buy and then i'm going to built up the whole setup on the floor using my spare torque tube and transaxle, before transferring it into the car
