Not impressed by the cap? Or the entire conversion.
As you're selling up, I take it you've realised the shortcomings of the GTI engine in a sierra.
Share your experiences with it in case anyone is thinking of doing the same.

Angle drive dizzy only works with mk1 not 2 or 3

yea i done mk1 conversion it was shit jus wouldnt go unless it was way up in revs (shit in the bush) conversion wasnt bad to do be good if was only for street with little wheels but no go for 4x4n it was shit on on fuel shit to drive haha im not a fan of that conversion for 4x4n.... im currently changin it to 1.6 but not sure to use the auto i have for it or my sierra box.. motor should be in on saturday haha

use the sierra box with the kit so much easier other wise you have to stretch the tunnel in the car to fit the box in. and remember to swap the sump over lol

They are only shit if your gearing doesnt compliment the motor.

Ive done this conversion and am in the process of doing it again.

I have 6.5 in the transfer and 5.12 diffs.

A GTi motor has more torque than a stock carby sierra motor everywhere so I fail to see how they can be crap. And as said it's all in the gearing, I run 31" simex extreme trekkers on the street and offroad with 6.5 transfer gears and is quicker than most fourbies on road and off it.

well was jus my thorts, didnt work well for me.

I would have to agree with the gearing angle. I initially put my mk3 gti in N/A with 30's and stock drivetrain. It was a lot better on and off road compared to the carby donk and I found it more relaible. Now Ive got 4.16 gears, rear lockright and turbo'd it and its pulled stock standard XR6 turbo times on the quarter mile. It eats anythings its been against in the sand (i dont get much mud/water/rock exposure). I could see where having more low down torque would be a bonus for tight tracks and rocks, but again this can be achieved by gearing. The flip side being I dont know the cost/complexity comparison with a 1.6 install.

Yeah ive done it, its a great conversion. They should have came out with this motor. It is so much fun to drive!
