RE: 2L AEG motor in mk2 Jetta..Plan to turbo it with KKK K24..come on in
Hey everyone. Gonna make this short cause im at work. Just wanted to start it up.
At any rate, i acquired a AEG motor that was installed in a 86 Cabrio. Iam planning on putting this motor in my car, 1992 Jetta with CE2 (central electrics?..whatever)
I have the wiring harness, computer, pretty much everything needed to do the swap. It currently has a Cabby tranny on it.
NOW
I am going to turbo it with a k24 as i have it already. Was rebuilt and pretty cheap. Just need a wastegate to be safe as the one on the turbo got bent somehow??
. WHAT wastegate would be a good alternative?
I have a diesel tranny from an 86 Golf as well which will be beneficial.
First, how would i go about wiring this into my car's existing harness/wiring.
Second, in regards to the turbo, any recommendations, step-by-step game plan? What chip to be used, what manifold would mate nicely, what blow off valve will do the trick, what parts to use such as valve stems, valves, lifters, cam, etc.
I will make things more organized soon but i just would like to know what i should do, how i should do it, recommendations. I have never done it so i am open to peoples thoughts.
And YES, i know the AEG motor isnt really looked upon as being the best for boost but i am looking for only 11p.s.i max! Day to day, id run only 6-8p.s.i. enough to achive 180whp i would say.
Thanks
