Lito's MK4 GTI

[Lito]

Looks nasty, what caused the loss of oil pressure? Suprised the crank got damaged aren't they forged

oil pump was seized and relief valve was very week. The crank itself is fine but the journel for the bearing is rooted. Could ground it down and run over sized bearings but had a spare so no need.

For sale

1.8t crank. Slightly used, would make great boat anchor



IE connecting rod, should buff out. Would be ideal wind chime ornament



All those shiny things used to be the bearing for cyl 1's connecting rod

So as some of you may know the old girl has been of the road for a couple of weeks. Lost oil pressure cruising on the highway and spun a big end . Luckily the damage was minimal but still the engine had to come out and a rod and the crank needed replacement. Luckily Gavin came to the rescue with a spare crank and helped me put it back together. Engine has now got more arp goodies and a fresh oil pump. Big thanks to everyone who helped me out donating time and advice, without you guys I probably would've given up but she is back on the road now and ready to shred some tires pics of the carnage soon!

haha not yet mate, still running the base tune but have correct a few minor mechanical issues and probs gonna re-log it now, will be interesting to see if the phenolic gasket does anything for intake temps. really need to lean it out a bit though, this is what happened to a set of spark plugs in about 1000km of driving



its definitely a very safe tune haha

Bloody brilliant... Lol

DYNO?????????????????????

i have thought about it but not sure if it would be a good idea because the coating also traps heat in the ic piping so it would heat soak fairly quickly in traffic. that's my theory anyway, plus most big power builds don't wrap the ic piping

But the internal air temp would still be cooler than that of the engine bay???

Thought about ceramic coating the IC & intake piping? That would help with some heat management

Power stickers for the win!

What are the bushes meant to be? not TT/R32 ones?

I don't think they are r32 ones, the last pair i got wer r32 ones and these feel much stiffer. they part number has a '-80' at the end so im guessing they're 80 duro?

i actually just checked ecs and it looks like the ones i got put in with my refresh kit were just the stock item so not sure what these are?? bloody stiff though. ill post up the part number when i get home

still need to trim down one more boss mount fRom the original engine cover for it to sit perfect but its pretty close. makes the engine note different too, i can here more turbo suck and less 'engine' noise. sounds real mean down low

And it's here

Coil pack heat sheild with 25kw worth of stickers, that's at the wheels!


Hopefully this'll help keep intake temps down a little



Apparently track density, pretty solid to the touch, hope they last a bit longer than the last set

Just 25kw?? Looks great, pictures when it is fitted please.
