Finally beginning the 1974 1.8 T conversion. Bought the donor car over 1 year ago and began stripping it out last week. The goal is to modernize the cockpit and cabin a bit to enjoy things like Cruise control and A/C and intermittent wipers and boast power a <bit>with a KO4 turbo. The donor car was a 1999 Passat 1.8T longitudinal 5 speed.
I was inspired by both Mike Bellis and Andrew Dallens conversions. I don’t have big aspirations for enormous HP gains. I’ll be satisfied at 165-175Hp. I plan on using the original Passat gearbox and custom fab the axles and cable shifters. Ideally I’d like to design the cooling system and intercooler to stay in the original engine bay, but we shall see. Attached thumbnail(s)
