Hello, I have kind of a interesting question... is it possible to turn my jetta 2.0 SOHC into a DOHC? If so how would i go aobut doing it? I am also thinking about getting the ATP turbo kit, would this still work with DOHC? I hope someone out there can answer my questions, if so email me at [email protected]
Thanks for your time, Neal

Do you mean with a 1.8, or 2.0 16v head? that would be the only way to do it and have it be anywhere near cost effective.

yes I would put a 1.8 or 2.0 16v head on, which ever is easier and help my performance. If you could give me an idea of what i would need... and if any serious mods need to be done. Would this effect my turbo at all?
Thanks for responding

There is no easy way to make your car a DOHC, short of a motor swap (1.8T motor or import an ABF 2.0L 16v euro motor).
Putting a twin cam head on the ABA block requires new pistons and other mods. It's been discussed a bunch here on the boards...

I am willing to do what ever it takes... I want a unique engine, one that not very many people have. I will do pistons and all. Just tell me where I can find out how to do this mod.
Thanks again, Neal

A guy here called nabilsx has converted his SOHC Seat Cordoba to DOHC 16v and has the most experience with it. You might wanna contact him.

There are more links but I don't feel like searching anymore on this.
Good luck...
