16v Block

[jetta-the-hut]

I'm new to the forum so be easy on me I'v been on vwfixx for awhile and thought I'd try this out.

I need a pl 16v block i have a guy on the fixx supposed to send me one and I still havent heard from him.

I have a 1991 jetta that the 1.8l 8v blew the head gasket. I bought a 16v engine but it had a hole in the block so I have everything I need but the block.

My project is a 16v 1.8l digi-2 fuel system with a 535 bmw maf,and a 944 fpr. Custom fuel rail and injectors. :gt-ogb-spank:

I am in Southport N.C. so let me know! Thanks.

[sciroccodriver]

827 has one... not sure of condition or mileage but he's looking for something to do with it. Your best bet is to post in the classifieds section cause 99% of these goobers are driving 1.8T's and have only seen my 16v..... :gt-ogb-spank:

[jetta-the-hut]

Thanks man, how in the hell can these guys afford a mk2 1.8t swap.
When my car gets closer to being done I'll post some pics. Its going to be like I said a 91 jetta 1.8l 16v digi-2 setup for at least a year while I build parts for a Individual throttle body setup. I'll be pushing 170hp with my ITB setup, I'm going to shave the head and rebuild it. Before any of that on the intial build its getting all forged internals-rods-pistons.

[Still_Love_dub]

Noob :D This is Allen'sMK3 from fixx

[jetta-the-hut]

I see you didnt make the meeting either that sucks. Man I wish I was a mod on the fixx because I just told g60 to knock it off he was trying to start more junk with you and so was Brian. Bunch of a-holes.

[Still_Love_dub]

Man who gives shit i told homegrown to lock all the threads that they tried to start shit with me so he did...

And no i didnt make it to the cruise cuz my acura is still in the shop.. And i am searching for a MK2 :D

[jetta-the-hut]

Man i am in serious need for a 16v block I just dont want to spend a bunch of money on a block. I really wanted to go but have to much going on here. oh well back to fixx. see you over there.

[Still_Love_dub]

I just want a dub again man.. I miss my old puppie :(

[dexter047]

Hey Allen, I got a 92 Jetta you can get for $1000. I found a diesel Jetta I want so I gotta sell either the Scirocco (not gonna happen) or the Jetta. Let me know if you are interested.

[Still_Love_dub]

Got any pics?

[jetta-the-hut]

Henry whats up big dog! I may be getting a 9a bottom end for my car hope to have it running by the end of January!

[dexter047]

Allen, I will try and get some pics over the weekend.



You will have to bring that thing up to Raleigh when you get it together. Do you have a block lined up or just an isea where to get one?

[Still_Love_dub]

Great:cool:

[jetta-the-hut]

My dad is going to meet with Ed next week since my dad goes to Hickory about three times a month and If its all good well bring it to his house thats where we are going to do the build. 9a 2.0l 16v pl head running on digi-2
I hope the numbers with the bottom end and the 16v I hope to get around 135 h.p. to start then next year ITB's. My goal is 175-185 na engine.

I have to find some lighter wheels I dont want too, I want to widen my steelies but I feel with 135 h.p. and a lighter wheel and remove the rear seat that thing will scream. I only need the rear seat every once in a while.
I also found a shop thats going to redo my seats just the centers _center top,center butt, and door cards for 200. I want a red and grey checkerd pattern very tiny checkers though.

It maybe Januaury before the build actually starts because of Christmas and work.

You selling you GLI if you have recaro's and you going to sell it to Allen let me swap them with before you do it.:oddeye-hellyeah:

[Still_Love_dub]

:smack: :grayball-intent:

[jetta-the-hut]

:ohyeah: :sillyjester:

[Still_Love_dub]

Its all mines..:cool:

[jetta-the-hut]

as soon as mine is running good, the seats are being redone in mine anyway. You need to buy Henrys gli man that would be sweet then he could afford to redo his rims.:p

[Still_Love_dub]

I'll see man

[jetta-the-hut]

1000 for a 90-91 jetta gli the seats alone are worth 350 with brackets. Hes replaced a buch of stuff too. If I had a grand I would buy it. the gli had a 2.0l 16v I think so its easlly modded.

[dexter047]

NO, it's a GL, only a 1.8 8V. Low mileage though, around 90k. If it were a GLI I might keep it, if I hadn't found this diesel I would keep it but I really want a diesel.

My brother in law lives in Hickory-Lincolnton area, I could probably see it down there if you don't bring it here. It sounds like the seats will be nice, good choice on the pattern.

[Still_Love_dub]

If its in good condition i will get it but first i got to ask my parents for a space cuz i dont got no space in the college dorm :(

Still no pics herny?? :D

[dexter047]

I am going to get the pics today Allen. It has some poorly done bodywork on the tail panel into the right corner. I will get a pic of that too for you.

[Still_Love_dub]

:cool: Ok thanx cuz i want to be a MK2 owner

[dexter047]

I didn't get around to taking those pics yesterday. My wife is going to do it tomorrow.

[Still_Love_dub]

Thats why i want to get married :kissy:

[jetta-the-hut]

I didn't get around to taking those pics yesterday. My wife is going to do it tomorrow.

Yeah, Thats pretty sweet my wife hates my car,everything about it even me talking about it.

Hey Guess what I got today?

Ok,OK, I picked up a thule rack and a leather shift know off an 88 wolfsburg. I might go back and get the red stripe bumbers and the guage cluster. I got the rack and knob for 25 buck.

Sorry henry still no roco or mk1 switches but im lookin.

[dexter047]

Thanks man, no rush. I might get it from World Pac, I think it is $16 new. If you see any quad rounds for a mk2 let me know though.

Sorry Allen no pics yet. It might have to wait until I am off on Sunday.

[jetta-the-hut]

Check out my New toys on the fixx in the mk2 section . Does your Rocco have that steering wheel?

[Still_Love_dub]

:hrmm: lol jk

[dexter047]

Check out my New toys on the fixx in the mk2 section . Does your Rocco have that steering wheel?

no, but it's got thayt shift knob. ;)

[jetta-the-hut]

Looks as if its a done deal I have a 9a block and a bently manual with a gasket set on the way everything will be picked up this week and the build to take place this weekend or at least started.


Thanks Again to 827-Ed hes has been a life saver.:happydance:

[dexter047]

nice.. congrats on finally getting a block. you should keep us posted on the engine build with lots of pics. you just puting it together or are you cleaniing/painting it?

by the way allen, I ghot pics of the car, they just need to be loaded into the computer.

[jetta-the-hut]

I want to paint it and do it up right but dont know if the weather is going to be good enough to paint. Plus I'm just ready to drive it again.

this digi 2 swap is going to be the hardest part and getting all the parts in advance so we dont have to stop once we start. After all these parts i'v bought now I'm going to have to swap my cat and exhaust for a 2.25 so the engine doesnt feel like it needs to fart. also going to pull out all the restrictors underneath to let it breath. I may put a vr6 muffler on it if I can find one.

Man its like we are the only three keeping this forum alive aside from like 2 or 3 other guys. and Allen doesnt even have a vw-Yet. Like I told you Henry when I get done I'll have some parts left if you need any.

[dexter047]

My boss just sent two wrecked mkII Jettas to LKQ today. I was able to grab some parts quick though. Do you still need door moldings? I grabbed all four, I think mine may be missing one, not sure and I remembered you said you needed one. Let me know if you want/need it.

[jetta-the-hut]

Cool yeah I need the driver side rear door you can see a pic on the fixx and see the one missing. Its the skinny moulding with no red stripe. Man you just made my day if you have it. Christmas is kigking my butt we had to put the build off till January. We are still getting the engine Thursday from Durham but were just going to piddle and sandblast parts and paint a litte till we get like 3 days we can build and not have to stop.

I also posted a pic in the for sale fourm ihere in the: wtb steelies thread.

Let me know about the moulding. Aren:upyeah:

[dexter047]

yea they are the thin moldings with no stripes. I will put it aside for you. If we ever have a meet I will bring it, otherwise I will just send it to you.

[Still_Love_dub]

:gt-ogb-spank:

[jetta-the-hut]

Check out my new title on the fixx. Welty made me a mod of the general vw section.

My dad picked up the engine today and it still had the marks from the hone brush on the cylinder walls. What does that mean boys and girls?

Thats right the engine was just rebuilt before the guy wrecked it and the vw gods and Ed found it in thier hearts to bless me with it. Almost nothing has to be done to it so we can start bolting it together.

Still going to put a mycromater on it to check the pistons and cylinders and we'll check the bearing too we dont want any nasty suprise's. talked to my dad tonight and we are going to run the car for awhile and then I'll start getting the goodies to get me up around 200 H.P.

Thanks Again Ed.-(827):grineyes: :grineyes: :grineyes: :grineyes: :grineyes: :grineyes:

[jetta-the-hut]

Henry I dont know if I'm going to get up your way anytime soon can you slide it in the mail for me?

[dexter047]

Yea, I will probably do it after X-mas, that cool?

Congrats on being a mod. I haven't been on Fixzx in a couple weeks, been working crazy hours, 12-14hours, seven days a week.

[jetta-the-hut]

Yeah thats fine I wont get started till then anyway on the build. where do you work now? With the overtime it must be good money and the good part is its before Christmas.
I'm still workin OT too only a little though. I picked up an extra week of vacation too so now I have 4 weeks and 1 flex day so I know where that week is going.

My wife just read it and said "hell no it isnt" LOL.

[Still_Love_dub]

U got ur butt whipped lol :smack:

[jetta-the-hut]

"sticks and stones may brake my bones but whips and chains excite me."

My dads favorite quote. Roffl.

[dexter047]

no, no OT, commision only. I am in an independant shop in Cary now.it is almoost directly across the street from Black Forest Industries too. Plus my boss and I have some side work going. speaking of, you know any body who wants a 89 Saab 900?

[jetta-the-hut]

my parents might! how much? they love Saabs.

[dexter047]

looking to get about $1000give or take.it needs some work but it is a decent car. the seats are in good shape but the headliner is gone, body is good but the clear is peeled off the hatch. it also need a ball joint and maybe a rack, not sure, I think it is leaking, gotta look again. I will get some pics over the weekend.

[jetta-the-hut]

I'll pass the word on to them they are coming down Sunday for X-mass post some pictures and I'll show it to them.

Have a Merry ChristmaKwanzaika (lol) Henry!

[Still_Love_dub]

Even tho u he is not going to take any pics..

[jetta-the-hut]

Allen did you get banned from the fixx again? Thier is a guy on now I thought it was you but not really sure!

[Still_Love_dub]

Now thats tom aka zag..

[jetta-the-hut]

Now thats tom aka zag..

Yeah I heard he added another screen name and was talking junk and got banned but when he did it was under the same ip address so his original screen name got the boot also. HA,HA,HA.

Im towing the red Tornado to Lumberton this friday---LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!

[jetta-the-hut]

O.k I pulled my old engine it only took 4 hours,the guy helping broke the a/c condensor and then the fun began, found oil in the transfer case and the clutch was bound up with old built up oil,the motor mount was broke and we had to pull every pully off to get it out, now I know why they say pull the k-frame its easier to build and slide it back in.

The 2.0l is lookin good but its going to take a lot of fiddleing to get it to run on digi-2. I am going back on the 18th of January anyone with extensive digi-2 and or this swap want to help? I have a few more parts to pick up and a ton of sanding as you can see. I wanted it going by the end of January but I dont know if its going to happen.

[jetta-the-hut]

Cool man I just passed them on well see what they say, we defintly have to sell the neon which is almost done and the taures which is getting paint next.:upyeah: my car is in pieces till we get the head reworked.:(

[dexter047]

I know how you feel. I just got thr tranny back in the Jimmy, put an alternator in the Saturn, fixed a vacuum leak on the Scirocco and put plugs and gas in the Jetta. Still got a list of shit to do, plus I just picked up a 88 S10 pick up, that needs a motor. I am starting to believe it when people say I have a problem...

[Shiftlink]

If you pull the tranny out with it, or even separate it is way easier, I've never tried to just take the engine out. I've also never pulled the subframe to remove an engine.

[jetta-the-hut]

Yeah to get it back in we will probly pull the tranny and then put it all back in all together.
