The EGT gauge is a glow shift and it was $115 cn and it was on ebay. It reacts to heat very quickly and looks cool, so i went with it.

Does the AAZ mate up to a mk1 clutch and tranny? I need a new engine, figured I might as well go all out, but plan on staying all mechanical (no tdi)

I've tried searching, and your swap is definitely the closest I can find to what I am looking for.

Any Info you are willing to share on this swap is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Yes the aaz engine will mate to many different clutch combinations it all depend on what trany you will be running, is it an 020, does it have a big spine or a small spline, do you have a 210mm flywheel? my setup is an old 020 trany small spline so i went with a 87 rocco 16v gasser clutch and flywheel and that seems to be holding for now .well see what happens when the motor get broken in and i start to push high levels of boost.

Convince him that hes making a big mistake going with a garbage gasser, or wait till hes done the swap, then smoke him in your diesel!

haha, yeah it will happen, this thing is going to be a monster! what kind of tranny are you running? make sure and get a tall 5th gear and go really fast!

giulianot · « **Reply #27 on:** October 26, 2007, 11:58:05 am »

Thanks, i cant wait to see how fast this car is really going to be. The trany is an ACN with a very tall .69 fifth gear in it, im guesing 240kph @ 4500rpm
