Has anyone actually done a conversion using Mk2/3?

I just talked to someone from Suzisport and they said they dont use the Mk2/3 at all because you cant use the angle drive for one

Also he was wondering how i was going to trick the computer when it goes looking for a speed sensor?

Edited: Sorry i was asking 2/3 not Mk1/2

Thanks for the offer.

I meant to say has anyone done the Mk2/3 conversion without cutting the firewall?

Does the mazda cap work?

What are the options?

Cheers

So the mazda cap fits all GTI distributors then?

I thought that they were different?

How hard was it to get the rotor button to fit?

What did you have to do to the cap to get it to fit?

Cheers

All you have to do for a mk2/3 is open up the base of the cap about 2mm with a dremel.

For the rotor you need the brass sleeve out of the gti rotor, which is a press fit into the existing hole in the mazda rotor, drill a hole in the pastic for the clamping screw and your done, install leads so firing order is correct.

Although ive just modded the mk2/3 gti distributor to fit in a sierra angle drive. You can use the angle drive adaptor from suzisport.

The gti distributor fits in the angle housing, one clamping bolt lines up. Then i cut the gti shaft where the pin that holds the drive plate thing. I also cut the sierra distributor shaft about half way.

After that i turned the sierra shaft down to 8.1mm, drilled the gti shaft out to 8mm pressed them together and put a roll pin through the shaft.

If you have access to a lathe its not that hard, just have to measure the sierra one, and make the hybrid one end up the same length.

Anyway, i was going to use the mazda cap, but i dont think there is enough room to take the cap off once the engine is in the car for maintenance etc.

I would hate to have to pull the engine out to change a cap and rotor. That is why i ended up making the angle drive.

Why does the Sierra flywheel need to be used? Isnt it the same flywheel as the Gti?

I dont have a Sierra flywheel to compare to but the Gti motor i just picked up had brand new flwheel and clutch/pressure plate.

I know the splines on the clutch are differeent but i want to use the Gti flywheel and pressure plate with a sierra clutch. Is it possible?

Cheers

The sierra flywheel has a 2mm step machined into it where the clutch plate sits. The gti doesnt. Dont know if you can mix and match, you would have to try it to see if it fits and operates.

Have a look at the exedy website, there are some measurements on there.

correct. the sierra ones are thicker which help the motor chug along. where as the gti like to rev, no rotational help at lower revs

Im nearly finished with my GTI conversion and am unsure on where a few hoses go to..

What is the canister thing that this hose is running to? Do i need it?

Also where is the outlet from the engine that goes to the brake booster?

Thanks

The canister thing is your IAC (idle air control) it controls the idle depending on accessory load. Yes you need it if you want the car to idle.

If you look at your pic, the red line you have drawn goes right through the brake booster outlet on the manifold. Its the barb with no hose on it.

Have you checked the crank timing gear keyway at the front of the motor. Apparently like 3 out of 5 chew the keyway and cause the valve timing to retard. Good to check before you put it in your zook.

Just finished one, pretty easy conversion.

Sorry my mistake, that is not your IAC, i can see that in the pic.

It is the A/C SV valve, it ups the idle when you switch the aircon on.

If you dont have A/C you can remove it and plug the outlets on your manifold. Mine are plugged, i presume the donor i got my engine from had no A/C.
