AZZ in MK2 questions

[1slowvw]

hey guys I finaly found a mk2 Jetta worth saving, to start my AZZ powerd mk2 project. I just have a couple questions. First off will the 1.6 tannny bolt up to the 1.9 without a problem, and will i need 1.9 motomounts to make the azz fit? are there any other clearance issues i should be worried about? let me guys know, any help would be greatly apreciated, and eventualy repaid with pictures.

as far as i know everything bolts right up... it's like grown up lego.

i'm going to be installing the earlier TDI 1Z engine into my MK2 jetta  :wink:

thats exactly what i wanted to here, thanks. Anyone got pics of a 1.9 in a mk2, just want to see how tight it is, and see where a good place to put an intercooler would be.

Although I have not installed a 1.9 TD into a mk2 I have removed one and I also installed a 1.6TD into a mk3.

Motor mounts : you need the mk2 ones, the mk3 ones are different. The bolt right up to the block though

tranny: Any 8v tranny bolts up to any 8v engine, gas, diesel it's all the same. The mk3 tranny is ALOT taller then the one in the mk2 so I'd considier swapping it in. If you do, mk3s have 100mm hubs on the tranny, mk2s usually have 90mm.

Pump: The mk3 pump has 3 wiring connections IIRC, mk2s only have 1. Not sure how to get around this, you probably just need power to the stop solenoid to make it run

coolant sensors: mk2 and mk3 are different but all you need to do is swap the coolant flanges from the mk2 onto the mk3.

Exhaust: you'll need the mk2 DP setup (the one bolted to the turbo) or customize the rest of your exhaust to go with the mk3 DP

Alternators: slightly different wire connections, all you need is a soldering gun

Starter: Use the mk2 starter

I think that's it

Great info guys, that is exactly what i wanted to hear, I think i will soon be picking up a jetta, and a AZZ, with a couple turbo's, should make a great summer project.
