Jay Jays Mk2 Project

[velly_16v_cab]

Mk1 System for my 16v, was using the stock manifold. 16v extractors offer minimal gains at best.

I beg to differ.....4 branch ansa (or what ever the name is...TSR used to sell them) gave massive torque and top end BHP gains. We saw 20 bhp gain on my mates mk1 convertible.

Can you still get them though??
Plus shipping something that big to Australia can be an issue.

There are lots of comparison tests on the net from when VW Motorsport tried different exhausts on racing the 16v engine.

FWIW: I was searching last week and found mk1 16v manifold for 250 squids without shipping. I decided leave it for now.

These carbs look even more horn in real life!

Yes you can mate. 250 squids sounds about correct (plus shipping)

As per everything in Oz its expensive but you need to pay to play

Thats a Mk1 manifold and wont fit Mk2.

i also ment to say the ones i was looking at also did mk2 ones, 2 1/2 " down pipes (if i remember correctly)

[jayjay]

actually, the best stock flowing exhaust manifold was apparently flow tested by some guy on vortex, and it was the golf mk4 2.0 counterflow manifold.

the outlet is in a slightly different position but it's tubular. except they're also not exactly a dime/dozen. i'd also need a new downpipe, and whole exhaust back.

I'm actually thinking i'll go down to Camden Exhausts and get one built downpipe/manifold back. With lots of small silencers so it's quiet but flows.

now i need some rear spacers/phat wheels and coilovers. *giggle*

Might be heading a different way with this in the interests of Jays neighbours and Dad

[jayjay]

ok.. so my car is now on my driveway and i have no license....

great..


but last night i did have a license and !@#$^#%$*!@#^$%^!@#$%!!

accidentally spun all of second gear.... all i need now is a remapped ecu.

oh. yeah. no more dellortos. it runs a modified ibiza gti loom.

cant wait for an 8500 rpm rev limit.

[schoona]

You lost it last night after one outing???? Ohs noes

[jayjay]

nah a suspension notice kicked in.

how upsetting.

[schoona]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

[Golf Loon]

We tried Kjet - too erattic
dellortoes - too loud
and finally rewired the whole car for efi with an ibiza 2L loom and tank.
Now it is a weapon and starts on the button.
Apparently the clever yanks can reflash the standard ecu for peanuts and give him a redline at 8500 and more fuel. Then look out.
We also did a crazy mission rekeying all the locks to work off a single key
Jay is supposed to do a home respray whilst the driver is off the road. The gauntlet is thrown down bro, keep us posted with it.

[Jarred]

Nice one glad it's all sorted - finally!

pity we didn't get a video of the dellortos on full song!

i drove this thing today and its probably the most fun car i've ever driven. 100km/h from standing happens before you even know it. honestly didnt expect it to be this good. way way faster than my gt (for now)
