Can I use a N/A 20v block for BT conversion?

[fat_tony11]

Hey, as the title says. It would be easier to keep my car on the road while I built an engine in my garage, I was wondering if the N/A blocks were the same if I were to fit;

* A new 2.0 FSi crank
* 83mm forged pistons after a re bore
* New rods

Then when i swap the engine, take all the ancillaries from the original and fit to the new block?

I only ask as a N/A block is so much cheaper and I will be changing all these bits anyway, failing that, is there any difference between engines that were turbo'd from my '01 AMK engine to older ones?

One more question, are the heads the same on the N/A engines?

Many thanks, James

does the new FSI crank fit the 1.8T?

check out this link, more so, check out the price! I know there is postage and import duty etc but we would normally pay that for just rods and pistons. The kit comes with rings too!

I have a bare block from a 1.8t a3 quattro (not s3) - suspected oil-pump failure if your interested? - Perfect if your going for a overbore etc.

Drop me a pm if your interested and make me an offer as i have no idea what its worth and its just taking up room at the moment as i have gone off the idea of a bt build.

i'm using a late 8v block for my 2008cc 20vt

 

[Fenn]

you will need to use an ALT head gaskit

 

[fat_tony11]

wow, 8v block? what year car is it from? will the 2.0fsi crank fit and are there any dangers or weaknesses if I run 400bhp through it providing I have 2.0 fsi crank, forged pistons and rods and new bearings etc?

Also, can it safely be bored to 83mm? thanks

why are you soo set on 2.0l?

 

[Fenn]

why not?

 

[fat_tony11]

what is the capacity of an 83mm bore on standard stroke? is that what yours is hooch? Its just the extra off boost torque, faster spool on a gt3071r and more torque output per lb of boost

Pros and cons list anyone?

 

[h17och]

cons

not much life left in block/weaker

small port cant even flow enough air to support a 81mm block which makes 83mm pointless

pros.........makes it a 1.9 lol

and yea i am on small port and 83mm but i learnt the hard way

does the new FSI crank fit the 1.8T?

Yep it does.

I have built a engine for a friend that has Bills old golf, with Tfsi crank, standard length rods 144mm and special pistons.

It is on a running in map on wastegate pressure of 0.8 BAR making 336 BHP and 340 ish IB/FT of torque.

When hitting 1.8 BAR i would imagine some nice figures.
