Blown 350 GTI!

[PeterHBne]

Well, I've tired of the 1.8 turbo, so I slung a GMC 6-71 blower onto a 350 and neatly squeezed that between the strut towers of the GTI and I'm pretty happy with it.

I'll be even happier when I work out what sort of drivetrain can deal with this rather radical departure in power plant and how it it is remotley possible to fit.

But that's all by the by - when you have a nicely built blown 350 that sings a beautiful song it's enough to sit and listen for the moment.

Now that would be breath taking. I just happen to have a turbo charged LS1 sitting in a commodore at the moment doing nothing since my father is unable to drive.


Hmmm 980nM of torque and 580kW. Who said Mk4's were slow. Bwahahahah

[SoVeReIgN]

Could do this in an Mk4 fairly easily (Use the floorplan of an S3 for tailshaft space)

*hint hint*

[LookOut]

Dont forget your crow bar to shoehorn it in there

[99gti]

Na - Just hack away the fire wall, move the front seats to the rear, 2 door conversion. Bobs you uncle!

dear god mate! So when am i going to have a drive? do you get to drive it? !

[99gti]

It's up in NSW where my folks live

It goes like nothing else I've driven. Easily able to do 11's and still has more you can tweak out of it.
