Next project - REALLY big engined MK1 Golf!

there`s potentually (spelling) enough power to be gained from a vw lump with a turbo strap to it t push a mk1 across the line as quick as that jet engined van, i`ve managed a 91mph 8th of a mile at pod with engine problems in my mk1, with a lot less work than cutting welding in a V8 block,
What engine and setup?
vr turbo

150PD engine with a remap to 191 bhp and it will be perfect for a 850kg mk1 golf,i did a timing belt on one and had to test drive it,wow thats enough said,and it will do 48 mpg on the way home :wink:

Add nitrous and propane injection and you're getting somewhere…..

Will be interesting to compare. I'm building a VR6 conversion Mk1, I was going to use nitrous instead of worrying about a turbo. So, should be a good comparison. Don't be shy about the pics!

there was loads of room for a turbo in it giving plenty of room for removal specially after it wrong the first time, ever since its been rebuilt no problems but breaking and twisting parts,

Realistically, I'll start with a 25 or 50 kit, then progressively go up to around +100bhp. With the other (not many) engine mods I should be easily seeing 200-210bhp before the Nitrous Oxide.

2wd ?
Yep. Here's the build thread, not too much done so far but progressing slowly forwards:

As a side note, I was in the scrappy earlier today, by chance they have a VR6 in (they rarely get them), I asked on a price for the whole lot, and everything for a conversion would be ?400. Anyone interested?

your throttle body should look like this for ODB2, also should from P reg car onwards,
4wd goes in easily enough if a subframe is used , ok its alot of cutting and welding to get in but it saves on custom driveshafts and alike, stiffens the chassis too, can`t be to hard i done myself in a garage with no welding experience and turned out i was out by 1mm on the passenger side which was easily rectified, so its defo worth a crack imho
