Is it a Complete 2.0 Engine?

It is a 2 litre bottom from a 1997 VW Golf
The head is from a 1,8 G60 from a Corrado.
It means some adaptations to the timing belt covers, mounting of the mk1 alternator etc.

Haha .. Good to hear
It is always great with some feedback from you guys.
Especially if it is not done to your taste, or if there is something, that I should be aware of.
Sadly the engine bay gets more and more messy, as I progressively keeps adding more bits. The wish to get the car driving overshadows the wish to keep it looking tidy I want it fired up and get it going and then I can later change details in the bay, that I do not like.
Looking back I should have had all the small brackets and bits sand/glass blasted and then sprayed. I am not satisfied with the finish that I have got with rough sanding and then just sprayed with rattle cans.
Status is now, that everything is almost done. Got some good things done today:
- Fuelpump relay fitted and fuelsystem wired.
- Webers and inlet manifold fitted (with rough jetting)
- Stainless 4-branch manifold fitted (wrapped)
- Alternator and belt fitted (pain in the ass)
- All fluids added (gearbox oil, coolant, oil)
- All loom wiring refitted to engine and sensors
I though still need to fit:
- Clutch cable
- Throttle linkage/throttle cable
- Ran out of rubber fuel line
- Driveshafts
Sadly my startermotor seems shot
When turning the key, the starter just clicks once.
I am confident that the cabling and ground is OK and that the battery is fine. I therefore ordered a new starter.
Not long untill I can fire her up

Found out, that the alloys on my GTI Campaign project, are genuine VW "Snowflake" winter alloys.
Quite like the design of them and have decided to refurbish them.

IT'S ALIVE!
Car has been running for 3 full months and has passed Danish MOT, which is very strict = success
It ended up with slightly dissapointing 156 HP. This is mainly due to the venturies in the Webers, which are still the standard ones (36mm I think). There is definately more power to gain if the engine gets to breathe more Another cam in the 300 degree range is also very tempting.
On the road the car is extremely quick and has the awesome and distinctive 8 valve vs Weber sound. On the rolling road it is tweaked for maximum driveability and is a dream to drive - even in traffic in the city
Images are the ones I have from my phone - nothing fancy …

Beautiful looking car and engine bay, well done
Matt
Thank you very much
The car needs a respray though, as the front is now in a great color, and the rest is just faded old paint But most importantly it is running.

Thanks Not really very pro - just a steap learning curve! Think I hit just about every possible problem. But I guess that is the beauty of it. I definately like it more because I built it myself Sounds like a great build - what power did your engine produce?vwoldmad1 said
looks like a real pro install there mate

After the first run the engine/cam actually seized completely There was good oil pressure at the bottom and at the oil filter console, but not in the head, which caused the cam to seize on the last bearing. This meant I had to pull the engine out again and start all over.
That sucked big time It was due to the Cometic steelgasket being to thin.
We calculated that not enough oil was able to flow to the head at idle, so we had to make a bigger groove in the head, which sorted the problem.

We sent it to be completely refurbished at a specialist and had the timing done according to our desired specs.
Still it was not able to handle the proper ignition advancing, so I fitted a special Lumenition electronic ignition (infrared) with coil and CEM power module etc.

Also well done for chasing drive ability and a nice wide spread of torque, not just "pub figures" as we say here.
ETA- oh wow, just read your update! Hope it's healthy again now!

I can totally understand it getting messy in the bay as you rush to get it on the road, but that looks lovely- the engine bay I mean. The car is great, but I like how clean and shiny and puts purposeful everything is under the bonnet.

I fitted a GTI duck spoiler, which normally gets smashed, but which at least looks great untill then
Also fitted a RPM-gauge, as the original one is shot. Looks great in the holder to the left. Also notice the 3 x VDO gauges in the centre console.

Prepping for paint
LA3A - Mars Red
Some minor spots of rust needs to be grinded down. The lover stone guard though have to be replaced. Found some rust in the A-pillar in the doorframe, a little under the left rear light and a little between the licenseplate lights.
Also discovered a nasty spot under the rear washerfluid bottle, where liquid has been able to sit, because of a leaking seal of the pump. Did not look very pleasant at all, but will be sorted!
Overall she is in a very good shape though.

The comfort is absolutely sublime - love these seats.
Seatframes will be adapted to fit an GTI cloth fitted to the centre.
