[@rickmoore8502]

You lost me! You are so full of knowledge about VW engines. This is a great series.

[@MysteryGarage]

Lol hardly! But thanks I appreciate it so much!

[@ericdrivesjettas]

Gordons vw in Langley has a few 16vs kicking around if you end up needing odd/hard to find 16v parts

[@MysteryGarage]

👌 cheers!

[@alextavares3158]

BBM sells a kit for Aba/16v and u don’t have to swap out the shaft

[@MysteryGarage]

Ya saw that, that's pretty cool! Thanks for the tip! Appreciate the comments as always!!

[@zachclmn3564]

I love this series! Inspired me to get myself a Rabbit to work on. Still looking for one in my area, hopefully find one soon! Keep up the great work!

[@MysteryGarage]

Yes!! Do it! Thank you so much

[@sorinratiu8934]

Nice but i have a question the 16 valve cylinder head work with 8 valve pistons?

[@MysteryGarage]

Yes, however you will end up with quite low compression, perfect for boost 👌 Thanks for watching!!

[@mikedouglas6020]

Sick videos bro. Love watchin your feed. Keep them comin!!!!

[@MysteryGarage]

Hahaha thanks!!

[@donaldshidal851]

That GTI kuhler flange wont go on the ABA block. You need a sandwich adapter Wahler like from a 240 volvo

[@MysteryGarage]

Amazing thank you! Haven’t got that far yet but I appreciate the help! I’ll have to track one down then! Thanks for watching! Cheers!

[@boraboyvr6]

What carbs are you going to use? The Weber dual carbs? Or the individual carbs from a litter bike? I will get the Weber dual carbs for my set up, I saw in the bbm, but they cost around $1500, 😭

[@MysteryGarage]

Yes I’ll be using dual Webber 45s, can’t wait!! Coming soon!

[@samyrnicolas2531]

Good stuff man. I learned alot watching this video. Thanks alot!

[@MysteryGarage]

Glad I could help! Thanks!

[@Anthonyhancock71]

Nice work 👍 great info. !

[@MysteryGarage]

Thanks! Cheers

@@MysteryGarage just wondering if you know anyone is educated in tuning old sds em4 standalone system ? Thanks

[@damianp.427]

great video, wish that this video was made few months back when i was building my 9a block with 83mm pistons and jh 42mm/35mm big valve head. let me tell you the power of that 2.1 is almost doubled. now im wondering if i can use my spare 1.8l PL block with custom pistons with 16 valve head from 9a and put carbs. Do you know the diff between jh block and pl block? i believe pl block came from mk2 gti. thanks for ur help. and good luck with your build.

[@MysteryGarage]

You could put a 16v head on a 1.8 block absolutely, however 8v heads have much smaller chambers. Thus swapping a 16v head on a 1.8 block with yield some very low compression... in the area of 7.5:1 maybe 7:1... impossible for na but great for high boost.

[@ecarasig]

Thank you for taking the mystery out of the shortblock details for this swap! Are you choosing the carb setup just for visual simplicity? Or is it for tuning as well? I have never tuned a set of webers so I am wondering how difficult this is. Will you be tuning with a wideband?

[@MysteryGarage]

Oh so many reasons... visual simplicity, engine bay simplicity, looks, SOUND! I’ve always, always wanted carbs so now it’s time to make that happen! I’ll learn as I go...

[@ecarasig]

@@MysteryGarage Ahhh ok agreed on all those reasons! I will be watching you to learn carb tuning on webers! Thanks always for engaging with me on your videos!

[@chrisroop]

Is there a preferred year ABA? OBD1 vs OBD2.

[@MysteryGarage]

Not particularly just because none of those parts would be used in this application! Hope that helps, thanks for watching i really appreciate it!! Cheers

There is another youtuber that has been trying to get some 9a oil squirters forever. Braden Carlson is the channel name. Hit him up for us
