MK1 GTI 1.8T 20v 25 Year Project

That's quite a saving!

 

yeah great saving compensates for my size

 

KR head fit it ?

 

ALT 20V and FSI ( N.A ) blocks are very similar ( 220 mm height )

 

Yes the one on the scales is an FSI ( BVY Code) i also have an ALT 20V

 

With abit of work

 

What sort of work?

 

Keith Murray's R8 16V Turbo

 

I've been following your set up for ages shame your 16v head gave up just a heads up I have a set of twm 20v itbs 48mm for sale if your interested comes with custom made loom oh and it has 8 injectors

 

just on a side note i've also been busy with my Rotary Engine set up

NSU ****el





12A Bridge Ported ( 1100cc )
Weber 48IDA
Estimated Power 240 - 250BHP ( 10000rpm )

the filter socks are only temporary while its being built







standard water pump remove ( electric will be used )




Alternator relocated with uprated belt kit







All to be fitted in the Beach Buggy

 

177 days to the 2018 season so plenty of time .

 

Why 12a over 13b? to fit in a class?

 

12A is better exhaust ports ( PP ) plus smaller dimension ( shorter )

if i were to build another it would be 13B as the 12A parts are rare now.

 

Yes, 12a housings are a real struggle, which is why I asked, anyone who has good second hand ones here sells them to historic racers for twice the price of 13b's

 

busy day yesterday now time to get it all rebuilt

Bonnet off means only one thing , engine is coming out









that front panel has had some hammer before the brace was fitted

 

Are you rebuilding the current engine?

 

i've got a few options

Plan A - Rebuild existing engine to 84mm bore with higher compression pistons
Plan B - Use spare block 83.5mm with high compression pistons
Plan C - The above options with new head and cams
Plan D - As above but 95.5mm stroker
Plan E - Top Secret

 

We are all waiting for plan E!

 

Block is all stripped now ready for re-bore



Eurospec 92.8mm Crank still looks lovely

 

Well change of plan
