It Begins: The S3 1.8T into my '85 Mk2 GTI

[tommymac]

My long term plan for the rear eng bracket is to replace it if it breaks...

Ghetto spec! its not worth the effort do it right now and never have to worry!

[tinto]

This car is going to be scary quick.
Going to take it to the drags, Wade?
What will the power: weight be with the 1.8T?

[tommymac]

what box you running mate? 020?,

just saw the size of the oil filter haha if you get a coopers one mate it will prevent it hitting the cross member

What will the power: weight be with the 1.8T?

It will have power to weight ratio of 1:hilarious.

Lol, about 250hp per tonne sounds about right I guess...

No there not, the mk3 has a baffle in the tank so they only run in tanks,
digifant mk2's dont have a baffle and therefore lean out on corners, so they have the "surge tank" underneath mk3's do not

haha. i meant like physical external dimensions..

O2A as its still sitting in my shed.

HP ?? how much money do you want to spend Wade ?? hehehehehe

QPENg claim 270bhp with their kit for the AMK which has 210bhp standard.
The engine has been driven hard in the past and has about 85,000 k's on it so i'd say some of the original horses have escaped.
My guess - if it does actually go at all- is that it will probably have about 215whp.
The oil filter will be fine. Coopers are not the best anyway

as roccodingo said (as well as previous posts) 'box is 02A from 16v Corrado.

Changing the mount bracket will be fairly easy as i can do it at work if the time comes
I'm actually just really curious to see how much it will take for future reference, kinda like a test for some future projects...

That is all
