20vgolf : V W MK2 golf turbo #68873 9th Sep 2004 1:15pm Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 144 under the car 20vgolf OP Enthusiast OP 20vgolf Enthusiast Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 144 under the car Not been on for a while busy with house, anyway now the winter is closing in i decided to rebuild the engine in my golf to a better spec for more power. This is my new tubular exhaust manifold with a flange ready to take a Garrett GT28 ball bearing turbo, iam also adding new JE ceramic coated pistons to lower the compression ratio to 8.5:1, these will also have new forged rods for strength. Bigger 440cc injectors are being fitted too so the fueling dose'nt drop off and melt any pistons!! This spec should let me run 325bhp a 1.2bar boost, and keep reving to about 7k Will keep thread posted with pics of progress

It's great what you are doing to it. I would like to see it in the flesh as soon as it's ready. Where did you buy the injectors from as I will need some soon. I know nothing about this so a little help will be appreciated. I have the same front calipers on my car except in black. I need to chip mine soon as yours will have more power. This will only take mine from 300BHP to 330BHP. I can't go much higher than 350BHP because the crappy Renault gearbox won't take it. Upgrades are about £2500!

The injectors are 440cc/min can fuel up to about 380-400bhp reliably after that your risking a melted piston or 2, i bought them from the states, company called ATP managed to save myself about £80 over UK prices, also bought my forged rods from them.

Injectors are to feed, the managment is run from Haltech ECU so the injector map can be changed to suit, so the injector open time im msec can be altered depending on the engines rpm and engine loading. cheers

The pics before the doors came off showed your car looking mint, then a little further down your topic the doors are off and the arches are being modified. Alot of members could learn so much from your dedication and from what i see, do what it takes to get the job just the way you want it. If that sounded confusing i was trying to say. WOW Gobsmacked Lovin it Top Job.
