My mk3 ABF project!!

[peedman]

Well yesterday a sexy man with a white van delivered my new engine which will be my project. My aim is to get it up to standard by the nats but only time will tell! Ill let the pics do the speaking.



Mmmmm extractors!




Oh lordy the wiring!



Progress today:


My messy garage now...



The plan is to get the thing in and running then hopefully i can get some coilovers from the states and my new wheels will be up and fitted. Also should have new interior and vr6 brakes with cupra disks to keep my stud pattern. Let the good times roll!!

[Golf Houso]

whats the Hp on that motor again?

[Water Boy]

Ohhhhhhh another ABF Mk3 in Oz Get rid of the laging and get some HPC coating on those extractors

This will be a very nice project... Eventuly u will be running ITB's?

[peedman]

Yeah ceramic coating is about $300 so we will see but noone can see the manifold anyway . And i dont think ill go itb anymore since it means ill need to run standalone ecu and its not really worth the money at this stage but its sooooo tempting!

[KI11Z]

NICENICENICE! thats awsome! cant wait for the nats this year!

[Pullstarter]

Nice work man, how well does a MK3 go with one of these donks in it?

[Water Boy]

Yeah ceramic coating is about $300 so we will see but noone can see the manifold anyway

Mate i know no one can see but it really does make the difference in heat diserpation on Dad's 16v... Check out the range of VHT exhuast coat bcuz it really is much better

Oh ITB's later on for sure

[DubSteve]

MUHAHAHAHA, bring it Pedro Nice one mate will like to check your progress this will be good!

[cOS]

awesome man. its looking good already. let me know if you need a hand.

[Golf Loon]

Should be 110kw at the motor and by keeping the 020 gearbox Pedro should eliminate lots of the typical 16v lag.

Now get that dash and engine out mate

[Valver.]

Nice work Good engines

[peedman]

Im envious of urs valver i dream of getting it up to ur standards

Will update as i go but its a bit slow now as i lost my 14mm socket!

[rayray086]

HAHA holy ****! Sifn't call me! Though I would've thought you would for a 14mm socket

[bsting]

Good tough donk that ABF
Ever thought about selling your 5dr and buying a 3dr with the $ and fitting the 16v to one? Take all the good stuff off you have added to your 5dr first and sell it as stock

Yeah doesnt sounds like a bad idea. A 3door 16v mk3 in aus.

Looking good mate, going to enjoy following this one.

BTW, what is this 16v lag you speak of?
