What are the consequences of fitting a 2.0 Aircooled onto a 1.6 Aircooled gear box?
I know they fit, but how does this affect the gear ratios?

iv`e done it on mine and it seems ok
apparently you will lose a bit of top end and it will be a bit quicker off the mark

basically it will go the same as the 1.6 , just accelerate faster!
you should not try going any faster as the 2.0 wont last long!
the 1.6 will rev higher than the 2.0 , the type 4 motors just dont rev out like the type 1 motors!

standard DH code 1.6 box
3000rpm is 50mph
3500rpm is 58mph
4000 rpm is 66 mph
personally 3000-3500 is plenty enough long term i am sure the factory revlimiter is 4250
fot a DK code box that is matched to the engine
3000rpm is 60.86 mph
3500rpm is 71 mph
4000rpm is 81mph
see the difference?
