Motorcycle Carb Conversion on MK2 GTI
Vložit

- In this video we removed faulty fuel injection on a MK2 VW GTI and installed 4 Yamaha R1 carbs. This is a long video, but we wanted to show the steps and challenges you can expect to deal with if attempting this swap / conversion. I hope this video is helpful as well as entertaining.
Here is the link to PART 2!
• VW MK2 GTI Carb Conver... - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Taking the K Jet out feel so good
I sow since 3,54min to 4,25 min... Is fantastic!
Just bought a MK2 where the previous owner gave this a shot. Ran rich and didn't deal with the throttle issue. This video helps a ton thanks for going over such a Unique swap
I have been thinking about doing a bike carb conversion on a VW,but I did not actually expect to find a video of a person doing it.
Great job.
21:55. CV joints make that noise when they are worn out or dry of grease...230k miles... now both
Thanks, Guys you were able to convince me NOT to put Single Throat Carbs on my Mark 2. Hellow AAA yea Jim's been working on the GTI again, so you know what that means? Yea where it at this time? Does he need gas? Or should we just send the mechanic again? lol, you guys are the best.
The 16 s is the compresseur the g60 is soo good y love the compresseur
You asked for it, so here it is. A running, driving, and complete review video on this swap and car. czcams.com/video/wPlUIpy5BqI/video.html
Would love a video explaining the ignition part of the set up.
John have you watched the follow up part 2 video? You may want to watch that one too. Let me know if you have questions afterwards.
@@Driven2Compete HA! Sorry I did not know there was a second part. I will check it out.
Where'd ya route that line from the top of the expansion tank?
Fantastic work... I am actually planning on do something very similar on my 1971 Opel GT that I have transplanted a Zetec 2.0 into it. Where did you get the intake manifold for the carb?
Don't laugh. Parts came from Ebay.
So I can use the same head for conversion on a mk 1
I want to try this on my old car, just to say I did it.
Would you mind doing a quick video going over how you guys ran the fuel system? Looking to do something similar to my 8v Thanks
Absolutely. Give me a few days to shoot, edit, and post.
Driven2Compete awesome! I really appreciate it!
This video made me do the same thing
What size did you drill the idle jet and the main jet
Hi it's great! where did you buy the coolant connection to facilitate the fitment of bodies of carburetors? Thanks so much!
Bogg Brother's in England will make and sell you the intake manifold and a modified water neck for 275 pounds or approximately 350 usd plus freight.
What size mains jets is used and pilot jet used
Where did you get this kit
Is there any interest in re-creating the cantilever system for the throttle cable? Is there a build thread with some of those fine details?
Please check out my other videos giving more information on the MRK2 GTI
I also want to do this conversition on my honda civic
My 8v Digifant is killing me with ongoing issues. Need another option.....
Why not just put in huge jets, then use the secondary regulator to control the amount of fuel fed to the carbs? Will this work just as well on a 8v with digifant2 injection?
I guess you could try that, but we went with what we knew we could make work. I've spoken to others that have tried other carbs and ways to feed the fuel. I guess there are no wrong ways, just many different ways to complete this conversion.
Can I do any fab work to separate one from the carb set? I want to put them on a 3 cylinder engine
typically the carbs are held together be a threaded rod so you could 100% separate one or more and use it to run 3, 2 or even 1 cylinder
But do you think bike cab could work on a Kia río engine 1.3 EFI... but no distributor its coil pack.. I wanna do this to see if my car could run a bit fast...
@ ok thank you..
I'm doing this with ninja 900 carbs
Is it hard to set up the bike carbs?
It takes a bit of skill and lots of patience
My car's speedometer and cluster workes on ECU
As i converted it to carb now it doesn't have ECU.
How can i make that cluster work like it was before as now it doesn't connected to ecu or any sensor?
We retained our ecu and used the electronics to still measure throttle positions and such to allow it to adjust the timing maps.
@@Driven2Compete yea but can you help me getting any solution for my issue ?
@@chaalu420 II wish I had a solution for you. I see people convert over to mechanical gauge kits. That may be something worth considering. Have you joined any forum pages to see what others are doing?
You need to synchronise carbs to each other.
I dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Bobby Roman instablaster ;)
@Miguel Alfredo i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Miguel Alfredo It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
@Bobby Roman Glad I could help :D
I have a same car
Here is a follow up video worth checking out. czcams.com/video/wPlUIpy5BqI/video.html
Can you convert a 1993 Volkswagen cabriolet to carb. I’ve had nothing but problems with the computer and was wondering if that could also be eliminated. Would love to go back to old-school. Thanks
Anything fuel injection can be converted to carb. There is no difference between your cabriolet and Jim's GTI in the video.
Driven2Compete How about the electronics like sensor, relays and all the stuff that’s run by the computer. O and what about timing. Thanks
@@gregoryacevedo2940 we showed you everything we did in part 1 and part 2 videos. You could try using an MSD box and eliminate the stock distributor. There are kits out there as well to give you everything you need.
Driven2Compete. Awesome. Any leads for who has these kits. Thanks

Driven2Compete thank you i appreciate the response. Quite expensive but worth the option.
if only you could relocate that alternator onto the other side of the engine and mount the carbs flatter and closer to the head
The carbs require a specific angle for the floats to work, so that dictates the position and size of the intake.
What are u loosing at 17:03 turning off what plz
We are turning the idle up on the carbs since we are not running a choke. Here is a follow up video for you to check out.

AP 2.0
Lol that why I see honda motors in other car now lolz
знал бы я по ангисский эх
You have and air leakage
Is this what causes the chuffing noise out of the carbs? Having the same issue with mine 👍🏼
You cant run motorcycle carbs without the air box! You are way to lean, you will have to jet the shit out of them to run pod filters!
We did jet the carbs and there are no issues.
Driven2Compete Great, Ive seen bikes that will only idle with the airbox removed!
Y love the cars is the for sale yes ho no please seur thancs
Thanks for watching and commenting. The car is not for sale.
Why must 4 bike carb? Just one carb also will do....since the car only run one cylinder at a time...
The kit was found on Ebay and came from the UK. We thought it would be cool to do.
@@Driven2Compete oh..ok...but i think one carb would be better...since u dont have to do the balancing the carb...but hows the mpg? Got better mileage or not?
@@Driven2Compete I ment to ask where you got the intake manifold from, do you know, or did you buy it second hand?
