head problem

[LCMK1]

Hi Guys,

I need some help in working out what head is on my car. The number on the head is 053103373.

I am lead to believe it is from a mk3 GTI. What is the best way to confirm this? Also can anyone assist in recomending a supplier for inlet manifolds?

Thanks Luke

Do you have any pictures?

What model is it?


cheers

the car is a mk1 with a 2lt block (mk3), 1.8lt head (think). It is running double webbers but it runs like a bag of crap. I want to ditch them for one webber or prefered option is fuel inj. pics attached.

thanks.

what is the engine number pre fix?

Have you had the engine properly tuned?

why do you think the engine is running bad? any more history about the engine and setup?

[LCMK1]

Engine number is *AGG174047*. I didn't build the car up so I dont know a whole lot of info.

The Engine is breaking down quite badly above 5,000rpm. I have taken it to two places now with no results. I have found that the previous owner made an adapter plate for the inlet manifold>head which is not a straight transition causing issues. need to ditch this.

cheers

Welcome mate good to have another Mk1 onboard.

Do you know the history of the car? Is it a 2 door that was used for hill climbs etc... If so the owner was Chris then Bill and it is a Mk2 GTI head.

aust VW in Croydon. Great guys but seems there is a history between them and the car/previous owner which didnt end well.

Car is a 4 door set up for track days. It was owned by Peter here in Melb. I think he did a few track days @ philip island. He did have it on this web site for quite abit and ebay.

Yes thats the one. The cage it increadable! I have had it out at Winton and calder and loved it. Just need to get it running right now. Has Peter worked on the car?

cheers Luke

I've never seen it running but I've been out to see it a few times. I basically have the same setup in my track car.

At a guess a proper manifold and some dyno time is in order.
