I have a set of these looking for a home if you want them?
-
Yeah conversions are quite common, original 16v ones are rare though and I think having that inlet manifold is what separates them from others no?
I love a Corrado Storm in that metallic purple colour but I think it’s best with the 2.9 VR6.
My grandparents had a black Scirrocco with a red (pink?!) plaid interior.
I’d quite like Group H mk1 in full berg cup spec
-
Ah yeah scirocco 16v! Super rare, if forgotten they existed. I’d say it’s definitely that setup.
The Oettinger head / inlet is totally different to anything from VW
-
Yeah, the cross compatibility of big block golfs is really easy.
-
It’s a really nice conversion that’s for sure
-
There’s no such thing as a 16v mk1 GTI from the factory as far as I’m aware.
Oettinger did a 16v conversion called a 16 S that’s very rare
-
You can build a 16v G60 though, there’s a conversion kit available.
I did think the same but the inlet hose routing is notably different and there’s no charger sat above the alternator.
I think you can maybe mix and match that manifold from something else to put the air box on that side
-
It's nice that.
I can't put my finger on the engine though - it looks like an ABF but the throttle body and inlet are on the wrong side of the car, maybe it's an aftermarket inlet manifold that swaps it side to side
I am tempted to take it with us for the relatively short commute to work, I’m just a bit unsure about if I could get parts for it or if there’s a market to sell it out there if I needed to
