MK2 Golf gti

[audiman]

Well, as a lot of you know i am selling the S2 and building a new project. Thought I would let you know what i am intending to build, hopefully before inters 2007, providing the old girl sells quickly.

Mk2 Golf Gti
1.8T AEB engine
GT3071R turbo
034 EFi management with anti-lag etc
034 exhaust manifold
Uprated rods
Lower CR.
550cc injectors
FMIC
17" wheels
330mm brakes at front
3" exhaust
stripped out with roll cage
Quaiffe 6 speed with LSD

Hoping for 450-500bhp, with 2wd its going to be a nightmare, so future plans are to run 4wd. But dont want to upgrade engine twice or three times on this car!!

That sounds awesome tom, mk2 golf is for my money the best golf and this sounds like the ultimate Q car

[s2driveruk]

Tom, you going to use the loan car GTI you have or have you sourced another?

Good luck, sounds awesome

[Crawford_S2]

Always loved the bronze dubsport golf, that was the ultimate machine. Would love to own that! Was a syncro IIRC

That's going to be mental with FWD. You'll miss the 4wd, my old mk.2 GTi couldn't handle the 115bhp that it came out the factory with minus 165k's worth of abuse!!! (That was on 14's though! THe wheels span in 2nd in the wet if you were a bit rough with it!)

When you do get grip the 500-600bhp/ton should put a smile on your face to say the least!

Good luck.

sourced another david! too many doors on the other one!

[s2driveruk]

and there was me thinking you were handy with the welder

[quattronutter]

just cut your old coupe shell off the chassis and weld a mk2 golf to it...

[Chris M]

I'm sure you'll have fun building that mate, i know i did

Good luck, it'll be one hell of a car

Cheers,

Thats going to be a cracker..... Mk II, love it...
I had a front wheel drive SAAB 9000 with 450 Lb/ft, it was a bit of a handful, and in the wet.......forget it...! The Golf should handle better than that though, so fingers crossed we all get to see it spinning up soon...!

I don't think that the 1.8 20V will make 500 on a GT3071R. The EIP stage 2 upgrade uses the GT and that hit's about 400 crank; food for thought, I know someone running a GT3071R on 550's (abeit in need of a decent remap) +3" turbo back + a few other mods and it's hitting 317whp.

All depends on who maps it IMO. Should do a good 450. Can run a lot of boost for a long time. Possibly 2.2bar from spool up to redline at about 7k. Will soon find out in a few months.

heres some pics of the new car







paid £900 for it as the engine had a running problem. I fixed that within half an hour. Cambelt was 2 teeth out No wonder it didnt go, well its still slow, but performs ok for an 8v golf gti
