My Mk4 buildup thread...

has it got something to do with filthy huge injectors and a megatron turbo?

Nah, he finally grew some real nuts and a brain and he's putting a positive displacement blower on it. What was it again, Neil? 35 PSI peak boost?

No 45psi... And it also has an outlet so you can froth your milk for your coffee

JayJay - yes they are bigger injectors with a 4bar FPR effectively making them 440cc injectors.

Oh come on, where's your sense of humour? Or have you had to buy one of those from the states too?

No, I sold it to the devil for this setup. Bwahahahahahahahahaha...

[jayjay]

You should have pulled a Chuck Norris on his arse. Have you cake and eat it too.

Can't wait to see the pics of your new gear. Have you fitted the new TST rear strut brace yet?

Not yet. I'm going to pick up my ABS sensors tomorrow hopefully and that TST rear stress bar, my front stut brace and rear ABS sensors will be going in on Tuesday.

It doesn't go on the back of the car I'll tell you that much

[Preen59]

'Cause I can...

Hehehehehe - I didn't tell you the whole story There is more planned than you know. Once it's done AFAIK, there will only be one Mk4 Golf out there with more grunt than myself if all goes to plan.

Rephrase that, I wont settle untill it is the 2nd most powerful Mk4. The aim of the day here is to have a car that has a balance of torque and power for track racing. I want a tune that will balance it out but I'm not going for a dyno queen.

The final plans will be a LSD but I'm still in mixed minds about going single mass flywheel and what clutch I'll go. That will be next thing on the agenda to hopfully be done before DoVW.

In where? Australia? Mod the car the way you want, not according to anything or anyone else. But don't do something stupid like spend 7k on brakes on your daily

Please don't engage in some HP war or try to keep up with the Jones' so to speak, you'll just end up unhappy in the end

Good stuff. I figured you hadn't, but i've been filling in the blanks..

What's the issue with a single mass flywheel? I prefer them in my opinion. And i mean for any application. The Mk4 dual mass flywheel is pretty average i reckon. Same with most of them from around that era.

Good idea going for a balanced engine. Too many people get hung up on peak figures. Big peak horsepower is useless if it's curve is like a skate ramp. I'd rather have less, but have it earlier and for longer.

I wouldn't worry about that, Neil seems pretty level headed. It's pretty obvious that everything he is doing, he's doing because he likes it.

No shame in showing it off though. It makes you feel good and aslong as you don't get an inflated ego about it, no one else will care.

I have heard mixed reviews. I don't want to loose out on torque basicly. I'm going to wait and see how she drives after the new turbo goes on before I decide on how I'll manage that. If she pulls like a steam train then I'll consider it but I dont want it to end up being a HP with no grunt.
