Are you going track racing?

no lol, just wondering as ive been ill in bed for a week and reading old golf+ mags lol.

Then no,

haha just plain no mad ferret  whys that then??

heres one for ya, as a fellow gx owner, you know anyone whos got a spare gx (jb) head i can have / buy as a project??

cheers

Twin 40's would be poor low-end, hard to setup, drink fuel in most situations you'd be using them for, and be expensive

I do have an entire spare engine atm, but I'll be reconning it at some point, theres plenty of full engines about though buddy.

ye but they look the boy!! hahaha

just looking at doing something different in my bay uno, not really as extreme as the smoothing lot but just something.

ok ill keep my eyes open for an engine - how much should i be looking to pay??

I'm going to try the 2e2 on mine and see how that goes. I'll keep you posted

i thought th inlet manifolds were different??

what have you done to your engine so far (stainless exhaust etc)


cheers

Nothing really, since I bought it Chrimbo . It has a weber 36tlp with pan filter on it, which needed sorting out, got a dodgey wheel bearing and some right sided clunk which needs sorting. I'm hoping for warmer weather so I can get onto it

Nice car though, generally.  

I'm looking at doing my exhaust manifold for a ss one, do you know where / which one  is best or of anyone who has done it on this specific engine??

No idea buddy, never done a SS exhaust TBH.

Not sure spending huge wedges of cash on a 1.5 motor would give any results.
Twin 40's will be a problem on any mk1 8v as VW put the inlet on wrong side of the engine.
The carbs end up too close to the fire wall so getting a good setup is hard as they have to be balanced and there isn't really enough space to get the syncrometre in.
Single 40 is a sweet conversion, only prob is manifolds are like hen's teeth.

any photos of this single 40 conversion.

i only want to do ss sytem as the "c" clips that hold my down pipe on are a pain in the ass to get on / off!! and hopefully get a bit better flow too??

The 1.5 engine is the only over-square ratio engine and therefore it is perfect for tuning  :wink:

please explain mad ferret. did you get my reply regarding the 2e2 carb on your other thread??

Fair point on both scores guys….

o i do like that!!

Regarding the exhaust pipe, the series one version has bolts, not C-Clips. should fit straight on.

is that the exhaust manifold that youre talking about? how hard are they to find and how much??
