Jim:
Now that my car is all together and I've only recently discovered the legend of
the '89 Wolfsburg, I think my ultimate GLI would be that car with a 2.0L and
Motronic-the very one you're creating! Does your car have ABS? That's part of
the fantasy too.
I know that there's a Scirocco page that has instructions, etc. on installing
the Motronic into a SII 16v. Unfortunately, I don't have the URL. Someone on
the list may know of it.
You wrote that you'd need:
Air box (Yup)
Fuel lines, fuel rail (there is no fuel rail), fuel injectors (yes;
they are different), injector inserts (they are different. One difference:
they have a channel at the outside top for the injector clip), wiring to
injectors (there is no wiring to the injectors)
Main fuel pump, fuel lines to/from pump? (I would guess that this is
the same, but I'd have someone with the ETKA check the P/Ns)
ECU and any wiring to/from it (YES. You already know that you need the
Motronic wiring harness)
Knock box (there is none. It's integrated into the computer)
The second knock sensor (You'll need both. I believe
The page makes the excellent recommendation to check the harness thoroughly
with a multi-meter before installing it in your mo-chine.
HTH,
Chris Williams

Subject: Re: CIS-E vs. Motronic with modded 2.0l's
setenv LURKMODE off ( for the whole summer, yippee!!)
Speaking of this subject, I am about to pick up a used 2L 16V engine,
and I
think I need
a great big fix of the OAK16VL (Omnipotent and All Knowing 16 Valve
List).
I am replacing
the block (1.8L 16V) in my 89 Wolfsburg GLI (yes its Helios Blue). The
old
one has a spun
#3 rod bearing and damage to the crank and rod (thanks for the diagnosis
ben). I am only paying
~$650 andI can also have all the stuff I need to convert to Motronic.
Everything is coming out of a
Passat. I think I have central electric.
My problem: what do I need? Does anyone have a list/url/whatever with
this?
If not, we could probably use one. We could put it on somebodies page
when
its done (Alex?,
anyone).
Here is what I can guess of the top of my head:
Air box
Fuel lines, fuel rail, fuel injectors, injector inserts?, wiring to
injectors
Main fuel pump, fuel lines to/from pump?
ECU and any wiring to/from it
Knock box?
The second knock sensor?
I am unsure of the stuff with ?.
I think there is more and I'd like to know before driving to pick the
stuff
up this Sunday.
I'll also have some parts from both engines available for sale after
this.
I already have a Schrick baffled pan from Velocity and a new oil pump.
I would love to find some cams, a Garret chip, and a 50mm intake, but I
want to get the
Motronic sorted out before I start adding more variables. Oh, and I
plan on
using my
1.8 head unless I uncover any damage.
TIA,
JV (creator of the acronym TESPO, and maybe TEPO, but I don't remember)
