Thanks, the Audi and VW 16v are basically the same engine. Inlet manifolds are different depending on the model and year, plus multiple differences in auxiliary parts. Also, different sumps and oil filter housings and oil pick ups, etc
I have a Audi Ace engine I used to have in my jetta but burnt the piston edges away because it was knocking quite badly and I didn't know how to fix it. I'm planning on rebuilding it this year, probably using a lot of help from this great channel.
The ABF cams have more peak lift but less duration, but we're splitting hairs comparing ABF vs Twin KR exhaust cams as they are both off the shelf cheap alternatives. For example the KR exhaust cam is 250 degree cam if you measure it how most off the shelf cams are sold
288 is getting way to high for Kjet to work as the overlap casues air to back up in turn pushing the air plate down which will lead to poor running and starting
That's what i use in mine, as are by fair the best off the shelf VW parts. The twin KR exhaust cam is another option that is very close to the ABF cams
That was super interesting. Never knew that was a possibility. When we build a 16v head for our gti i'm going to suggest this to the guys.
Another great video. Practical, inexpensive and do-able for us regular DIYers. AND a CIS-E teaser !
Thanks, yes CIS-E is close
Excellent video. Will be honest - think this is way beyond me.
Fair play though a master at work 👏
Thanks, i like the simplicity of it, the 16v Turbo will be running them too
You are awesome! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Maybe can explain difference between VW 16v and Audi 16v.

Nice work. I wanna see the outcome and power 👍
Great video
Thanks
Great, thx for sharing this knowledge ✌️
Great video!
I’m curious why press the chain gear off and back on? Can you just run it with the timing dot straight up?
Exactly my thinking. Change the timing dot would be far far easier. Or there are adjustable cam sprockets available
The chain gear is still off a touch. Either way, you have the timing dot the gear needs to be repositioned
You can get adjustable gears, which are around £100 which allows even more ease of timing but again adds cost
@@GreyGooseRestorations good info! Thank you!
Great video again 👍
I have a extra PL exhaust cam, is that any good for this?
Yes, the PL exhaust cam is 10.2 mm so the same as a KR engine code exhaust cam. PL codes had an 8.8 mm inlet cam vs. the KR 9.6 mm

Great, i’ll give it a go then 👍
Thanks alot
Thanks Martin- So duration and lift of the ABF inlet and outlet cams exceeds KR cams?
The ABF cams have more peak lift but less duration, but we're splitting hairs comparing ABF vs Twin KR exhaust cams as they are both off the shelf cheap alternatives. For example the KR exhaust cam is 250 degree cam if you measure it how most off the shelf cams are sold
Meaning the use of both 276 and 288 will work perfectly well ??
288 is getting way to high for Kjet to work as the overlap casues air to back up in turn pushing the air plate down which will lead to poor running and starting
Best mod is cams from ABF 2.0 16V!
That's what i use in mine, as are by fair the best off the shelf VW parts. The twin KR exhaust cam is another option that is very close to the ABF cams
