audi 5cyl throttle body, uprated clutch, Modified head equivilant to the pack D tsr head, with a newman 280 deg cam.
 fingers crossed it will go to plan!

wow that`s one busy weekend you have in front of you there!

least the weather`s perked up so you won`t get frost-bite! How many ponies are you hoping to liberate from the new lump?

And take some piccies of the conversion process…. eye candy for all us saddo mk1-freaks! LOL

Best of Bristsh `ol boy!

ive got a rolling road booked for a couple of weekends after. (if all goes to plan!!!)

 im gunna be conservative on my estimations cos i think it can vary, dependant on the opperator and system used.
all im going to say is that i will be dissapointed if its under 150bhp.
 plus i get annoyed with chavs claiming to get 30bhp increase from an air filter and exhaust (not on this site i must quickly add! )

 i will take piccys as i go!
 dont ya worry im a mk1 saddo myself!!

cheers

good lad, good luck and good grief. 150 horses, makes my 92 seem pedestrian. i hope it stops well.  

150bhp might be a bit optimistic but good look

Good luck and remember to take pics too - you'll enjoy looking back at them, I can assure you! And also they are a useful referene for everyone else (post them on this forum, please!)

Remember, if you come across any troubles, someone will have solved it before so don't be afraid of asking here!

hello there

Good luck and remember to take pics too - you'll enjoy looking back at them, I can assure you! And also they are a useful referene for everyone else (post them on this forum, please!)

 no worries, i will have a camera in one hand and a torque wrench in the other!!!

good lad, good luck and good grief. 150 horses, makes my 92 seem pedestrian. i hope it stops well.  

yeh, ive got a big caliper and disc conversion at the front, also the rear disc conversion and a 22mm servo and master cylinder all waiting to be fitted…………gotta feeling i will go through tyres alot quicker!!
 
 

150bhp might be a bit optimistic but good look

ok then 140bhp, but im mostly after torque, i will scan in the rolling road data when its done, for everyone to cast their eyes over

Laters

Sounds like your having some good fun there Jon Boy!


 I love torque myself, as it`s usuable and what really counts when screwing together a good engine. Max BHP is fine but unrealistic if you have to be over 6k revs to use it!

 Lazy low down power, that`s where it counts  :wink:

my thoughts exactly Bozlem-Boy! :twisted:
 
 cant wait!

Was it mission accomplished Jon-Boy??

 Or is it work in progress still - due to unseen hiccups??

  :dontknow:

I admire your enthusiasm Bozlem-Boy!
not actually starting till this weekend coming, Friday the 21st.

 getting the head and block bolted 2getha and shimmed up 2morra though.
then getting the cam in.
so its moving forward, cant wait  to get it sorted now!

he he he  ops:

 my mk1 ethausiasm , is the same as when i`m with a pretty lady.. over keen to finish the job  ops:


 i`ll let u do the install in peace then jon-boy
