ENGINE REVEAL | Volkswagen Golf Mk1 Engine Swap Part 2

In this episode we reveal the new engine and we prepare it to go back into the car.
I realise the voice over sound quality isn't that great and i'll try to improve it in the future.
The engine going into the golf is nothing special like a VR6 or a G60 motor because engine laws in Belgium are pretty strict. Thats why I kept it conservative. But hey, it is still going to be a massive improvement to the 1.5L that was in it before.

Hey man! I really loved the energy, the edit+music, and your passion for cars. Thnx for this video *(really really helpful ). I'm also looking to buy an mk1 cabriolet and also found one without an engine! Now I'm researching to see what I need to do next. Keep it up!!

[@chasezurbrick116]

Great video, as an engine builder I just hope you really cleaned that coolant port after you drilled and taped, never good to have those metal shaving floating around in the coolant system. Cheers from Indiana

[@memphis5220]

Yeah, all of those have been flushed out

[@michaeloosthuizen7918]

Very good video and build series keep it up you have much skill and potential

[@theloskis3689]

This engine is a beast in Brasil there are plenty of forged parts for it, this little engine i´ve seen reaching more than 1000hp (brasil racing scene is best known for having this engine doing crazy amounts of horsepower!, my Santana had a 1.8 which was converted into a 1.9 turbo runnign on etanol with forged internals packing more than 400hp!

[@avancefarter2]

Echt tof dit soort video's en ben blij dat ik dit kanaal ben tegengekomen. Groeten uit Maastricht.

[@michaeltutty1540]

Great job indeed. I'm rewatching the video. It seems odd in a way. Here in North America it used to be everyone thought European Cars were so far advanced compared to domestic cars. Thing is that Mark I Golf's (Rabbits) all had fuel injection by 1980. The one I saw was a 78 and it had both electronic ignition and fuel injection from the factory. Then again, our 81 Volvo 240DL Estate had the 2.1 litre with points ignition and a single side draught carburetor. Canadian market car. In the US, with more stringent emissions standards, fuel injection was standard across the board. Electronic ignition was standard fitment in North American cars by 1974, and had been standard on some as early as 72. It is really interesting seeing the differences in equipment and technology on the same car built for different markets.

12:17 hahah that moment though :''D. Btw, great work dude, thanks for sharing. Its really helpful :)

[@andyp32]

Great work. Hope you keep up with making these vids. Cant wait for the next one. Maybe some mods coming soon?

[@_FERG]

Seen a lot of people putting the porsche cayenne manafolds on it looks amazing

[@MashabaZA]

Found some brand new engines in South Africa made here for the MK1 2009 version we call the Citi Golf. 1.4. injected but, still my favourite car I've had so far to work on.

[@BATCHMAN_0]

I have hints for you: 1- the crankshaft pulley, if you removed the central head you are going to have acess to the threads of the allen bolts (i've had the same problem and spraying wd40 there was a easiest solution) 2- usualy there is a little mark of alignment on the distribuitor and in the rotor, if you aling them together it means spark on n1 cilinder

[@DexMaster881]

Well those Aluminium shards are gonna have some fun when they reach the radiator... BTW downgrading the carb doesn't reap almost any benefits of a bigger engine. What more you need to jet it so it wont run lean not to mention airflow restriction.

[@slimthug6675]

We actually use aluminum filings in a quick radiator patch... Drop a tsp right in

[@lejeffe1663]

Awsome ! I put a mk1 gti 83 engine in my cabriolet . the solid big valve lifter german version.

[@ricoIII]

I never saw so many snapped bolts in my life, heat before trying to loosen it (use penetrating oil) and/or use a correctly sized impact gun, I've taken out and put back the engine in my mk1s about 4 times now ( upgrades) and I've yet to snap a bolt, but I give you points on trying to do it yourself

[@Franko384]

12:11 that really hit me in the feels☹

The VW Golf MK1 is one of my favorite German cars.

Memphis you have made such a wonderful work mate 🖒Im not a mechanic, Im just a carguy who has just simple basics maintenance knowledge, but your work and videos are awesome. It need such a good effort and good will to make it happen. I own a Golf mk3 1.6 101hp but your Golf sounds very smooth. Keep up your good work 💪💪

[@MashabaZA]

Very cool dance music in the background comrade.

Spray some PB Blaster and let it sit for a bit. Pref over night but if not a few minutes. pB blaster works like a charm

[@RichardLorddeCameron]

Thank you for the videos! Did you change time belt to new one? Because it's the very important place of engine where not frequently look

[@nikolaj5699]

Next time you are trying to get out a broken bolt, try welding on a nut. Might take a few tries, but it has never failed me. - Keep up the great content

[@romeovarga8]

Bravo ești Special și Bun mecanic

[@robertreavley7145]

I would of took off the head. Ported, polished, and given the valve seats a 3angle valve cut. This is free power!! The GTI motor both 8 & 16 valve respond well to this kind of work!

[@jaisonluismalheiro293]

Aquele salsicho de tampar com um parafuso pra usar a admissão antiga cagou com o serviço. 😂😂😂😂

[@mstjohn33]

Thank you for sharing your swap project and I am thinking of doing something similar. Currently I have a 1.7l CIS in mine and like to install a 2l engine like you did. Out of what car is that 2l engine you got there or better what's the engine code? I like to find a similar engine here in the US. Thank you

[@joshuadhondt6005]

Beste, een doorgedraaide umbraco-bout kun je makkelijk verwijderen door er een grotere torx bits in te slaan. Koop er wel een set deftige bits voor anders zijn deze na een paar keer gebruiken al kapot. grtjs Joshua

[@deanoloughlin6129]

Love the videos you should have got a a stainless steel manifold it adds a lot of low down power .I did it to mine big difference

[@memphis5220]

Yeah, i wanted to get one but it didn't fit in my budget as i am still a student :)

[@motorart4670]

[@boostaddict_]

Could have just put your cylinder head on an ABA block. 2.0l and it would be just as easy. There's always next time for that though.

[@sidalisayad8837]

8:00 the idea is a risk because you do not know if it will work in the end and if it does not, you will have a whole messy chapment when you could just modify the carburetor or bought a new which is compatible with the catalyst block

[@memphis5220]

Malik Wahid so far it works fine

[@danielveiga4252]

[@fw9320]

Great video! What are your specs of the corrado steel wheels and of your tires? Thank you

[@memphis5220]

They are 14x7 in the front and 14x8 in the rear. 195/45/14 allround.

[@leeverink32]

goeie video mannen maar blijft het slijpsel zo niet in het blok zitten? Zo slijt de waterpomp ook sneller lijkt mij. en kan je zomaar een koel kanaal dicht maken dan is er toch geen circulatie? Is het blok niet van gietijzer dan kan je zomaar de nieuwe draad breken die je in het blok draait. daarnaast durven jullie wel want als je te diep gaat kun je zomaar met een olie lek zitten in je koelvloeistof lijkt mij of zie ik dat verkeerd? oh en waarom geen kopervet op de imbus bouten? dan krijg je ze de volgende keer makkelijker los toch?

[@R.E.HILL_]

The engine video comes.... when? Or did you decide to not finish that video?

[@thibaudpede3433]

Meest gebruikte woorden als je aan een oude VW sleuteld: "Godverdoeme toch" 😂😂

[@dmcnamara9859]

Memphis: Surprised with all the cleaning you did, you did not even bother to fill-up each valve (intake/exhaust) chamber with gasoline to check to see if the valves and seats were 100% sealing. Simple hand-lapping of valves and seats or a couple hundred bucks to the machine-shop would make a big difference engine power and fuel-economy.

[@dennygti]

Look the position of the tensioner belt, like i said in another video.

[@jonasvannoppen7958]

Hey man zotte video's!!! Doe zo voort!! Vraagske (mag een motor swap wel in België? Wil van mijn 1.4 een 2 liter maken...)

[@eliasbubbe]

Was ik ook aan het denken, ik dacht van niet (of het is in ieder geval toch heel moeilijk voor het legaal te krijgen). Waarschijnlijk heb je na 10 maanden al meer informatie hierover.

So, you went through the trouble of cleaning up the rest of the engine but left the uglyness of an old exhaust manifold on it? you could have painted it with high heat paint...but I like this project!

Hey, I am looking for either a complete 1.8 EA827 like yours or a new cylinderhead and block or heck even just a new engine head. I am in the balkans. This is for an Audi 100 with a carburetted 1.8. Any place one can buy this online from Germany?
