The rocker cover is from a 2E engine, but the head is DX yes, They are all the same. Because I'm not going to use the k-jetronic I don't have to worry about the throttle cable holder.. otherwise I'd make one or buy from blackforest industries.
Also, I'm going to rerout the breather pipe.. this is because I will use a modified intake manifold (maybe completely custom), on the bottom end there are blocking plates. After the MOT I will reroute it again to a small container with filter so I don't get it back into the engine.
Thanks!

Are you going to use the AGG cam belt covers and rocker cover on the DX head? Does this mean that you are going to extend the breather pipes that attach to the rocker cover?
Great work by the way!

The funny thing is that my first project with the golf was just to get it lower, nice rims and maybe som easy tuning.. and look where it ended, hahaha.. but the car has come to a new phase. I recently ordered a megasquirt along with a complete wiring harnesh. Then theres going to be som modifications of the intake manifold to fit a single throttle body (might build a custom if my economy will allow it).
When the engine is finished, rear beam refurbed and maybe disc brake converted I'm going to focus on the paint. I have a 40% off on stickers so getting new ones will be the smallest problem

Well, I would have been on at least 3-4 trackdays this season.. if my first engine wouldn't decided it didn't want to live any longer.. I was at bugrun here in Sweden. It was super sweet to run around the track. But some tuning issues and misstakes resulted in this:

So half this season has gone to building a new engine. This time I'll use megasquirt instead of k-jetronic and the stock ignition. I'll let the ms run ignition to. This means that I have to lock the mechanic advance in the distributor and remove the vacuum.

The main factor is probably ignition. I didn't know that the distributor had to be modified when reving higher and using tuning camshaft (276 duration). So the ignition has probably been to early, causing high pressure and extreme temperatures on the pistons. two more was badly damaged, but this one was worst.
The head is unharmed (thank VW-GOD) except for 2 valves that I had to replace.

ouch, running lean? did it damage the head?

Pesch motorsport in czeck republic sell this kit, incredible cheap, so just do it

Really, cool but there are A LOT of speedbumps, especially in the outer areas, so the front has been scraped pretty bad, haha.. I'm about to modify the front spoiler + 15-16" rims which will help a little (hopefully), but I don't want to make it a truck either 8-)
I will try to keep you updated! /// Peter

Hej Pete!!! This car is AMAZING!!! I want one!ha. I've been to Gothenburg a few times, and you're lucky with no speed bumps. That front end in England would be off after a little trip to the shops! Keep up the good work mate

Haven't posted here for a while.. Not much have happened either.. done some welding in the trunk, but the mison tube is empty. Think I'm going to fill it up with Co2 instead, cheaper and it doesn't require a registred gas tube.
Otherwise I'm considering making a custom made inlet manifold. Because I'm going to use megasquirt 1 v3. it's not optimal to use dual throttle body. Either fully custom or modifying the original.
