Hi guys Im new here and looking for some info/links to a project someone might have carried out before (i have searched), the engine in my B2 has seen better days and im breaking a NA 1.8 20v (ADR) A4 B5 and would like to put that engine in the B2. Im after anything that might help me before i dive in, thanks.

Make sure the donor engine is an AEB cable throttle engine because if it's not and its drive by wire you'll face a whole heap of pain with electrics sensors and you'll have to transfer the pedal box as well!

I've not done the B2 but I did do the B3, made a huge difference to the car, driving flexibility, power delivery and economy.

Your closest guide to your B2 on here will be Brian's 1.8T converted GT5 coupe

adr is non turbo, the inlet manifold also looks perfect for bike carbs.. and the hole is in the block for a distributor. mounts will need made but the rest should just slot in using your original flywheel etc
