Here it is posted on my forums. You have to register and be granted access if you are not a current member.
This is a hot topic with a multitude of misunderstanding surrounding it. I hope the article answers all the questions that are posted here on the forums and end up being emailed my way for clarification. Feel free to post replies/ reviews here or on my forums, where the article is posted. Jake's 1.7> 2.0 conversion article I am creating a video (DVD) on this topic for more visual aids and better, more thorough information (the article is actually most of my script for the video) |

If using 1.8 heads and carbs for this conversion, do you need to change the intake studs from 4 to 3, or in other words, are all intake runners for carbs 3 bolt? If so, do the outer 2 studs stay put and the inner two removed ad replaced with one?
If using L-Jet, are there any adjustments or modifications that need to be made to it? |

QUOTE(Cevan @ Apr 8 2008, 04:51 AM)  are all intake runners for carbs 3 bolt? If so, do the outer 2 studs stay put and the inner two removed ad replaced with one? i don't think so. in fact, i remember seeing a set of intake manifolds with 5 holes drilled so that it would fit both a 1.8 (4 studs) and a 2.0 (3 studs). it may have been drilled by the owner but..... an option if using 1.8 heads with d-jet is to get a set of intake runners that already have the 4 hole. the size of the runners are the same for 1.8 and 2.0. |
