Here's a sneaky peak at what's been happening to my little boost machine ha
Box off and opened then fixed (broken selector)

Cleaned and ready to go on.
(http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j462/Zeroooooooooo/3A2CB6B9-0D14-477C-AD74-D38721F9AAF7-34523-00002FE1C0CD40F7_zps37a9d432.jpg)
Finally got my PCR so now running full THS FMIC

Decided before kit and paint to take engine out and overhaul!
(http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j462/Zeroooooooooo/CAC57768-7EE2-4735-A711-39E7A3E97F75-34523-00002FE1BFEBC305_zpsf138ff5e.jpg)
Out she comes..
(http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j462/Zeroooooooooo/64867C6A-D59F-485A-8454-B15210C2282F-35128-0000301A4072AE37_zps53407e19.jpg)
Custom made kit on route..
(http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j462/Zeroooooooooo/6B505097-FDFB-4DB5-A196-BF46DC7B0335-35128-0000301A4CD8C6B1_zps6f7ad5bf.jpg)
Just a sneaky peak ha let you all see it in bout 2 weeks with full kit on and sprayed ;)
-
Be good to see the end result...
-
Interesting to see how it looks :smiley:
-
You will feel much better for DIY it! :smiley:
-
Almost there..
Ordered alot of new gaskets bolts clips and pipes from the stealers and fitted to engine.
Front bumper almost there ready for last few sands and filler and then primer and more sands. Hope people can see my idea of one solid bumper with what would be the bottom section looking like a solid bar where it meets the splitter, it was all plastic welded together back and front and end to end.... took a long time but no chance of movement. Medium size rectangle license plate will sit on left of intercooler at bottom of bumper.

Bumper trial fitted over the intercooler and all snug cut and sanded (no bodge jobs round here!)

Thanks has to go again to Jaime at Apw in Blair athol who is keeping it all together with my ideas coming from everywhere and my constant nonsense in workshop ha
Shouldn't be long now hoping to get in touch with a magazine before the car gets driven on the road to see if they want to take some pictures of my little beast ha :whistle:
-
this is going to look so fresh when its done :cool:
any more details on that clutch bud :smiley: ?
-
loads of work here! cant wait to see it done
-
Haven't written the code but its a black diamond stage 2 clutch for the O2M box and it fits so I would go for that one and with it being hydraulic it won't be heavy on the foot!
I will try again to get the number!
If you can wait then I will you exactly how it is in very soon ha
-
Looking forward to seeing the end result :afro:

What shop did you buy it from? Have you got a link?
Are you still running the standard dual mass flywheel?
:smiley:
-
Chris I got mine through my garage but I will try get the item code from the box next time I'm there.
Yes I wanted to keep the dual mass and not go lightened for better torque at low revs!
It will be soo much better when I get it on the road again I can let yu know if its any good ha

No no it's going the same blue as I really really like the colour, I always liked the mk4 golf and this is my way of getting as close to a brand new one as possible ... By making one!
Don't want it to stand out but I want other golf owners or people who know what's what to see the effort put into the car.
:cool:

Why would he be changing the colour? Everyone knows Indigo blue is the best colour :wink:

Other than black :whistle:

Black is nice... But it's just not indigo blue! :evil:
-
Nah i think pearl blue is better
-
I seen a gun metal colour but decided against it, bought the car loving the colour and I used to like a mk4 back in the day when they first came out and it was indigo blue.
What do people think about a black roof i was 25% thinking about it but don't think I want my car to look to out there just nice smooth and clean. Seen a lot of cars around with black bonnets and roofs and it out me off as well.
-
New spoiler looking smart, like it a lot better than the standard gti one that sits above the boot.
(Not as flush as this one)
(http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j462/Zeroooooooooo/c2bebaa67a0529baa085ab24a38a870c_zpseeb7cae5.jpg)
Should be able to update lots tomorow!

Nah i think pearl blue is better
i think audi sprint blue is better :wink:

Custom front bumper is almost ready for paint as is the rear bumper and the skirts are just waiting to coat the same time as the bumpers mirrors etc
Can't wait to go out with this car, a lot of time and effort and pennies into the whole car from the engine overhaul replacing gaskets and pipes and clips all the way to the engine tuning using the ko4-001 and custom exhaust manifold and exhaust.
Car currently sits 254bhp.
This mk4 is going to be in better condition than some mk6's out there.... :laugh:
Thanks to folk on this site for helping with parts etc
Hoping next pics will be finished car as I'm going to Portugal for next week and car should be finished within the week I recon.

So turbo blew up on dyno yesterday and went down to crail today just for some show and shiny-news ha
I have a gt28rs and all running gear but would it be able to get decent power on my auq block or should I take my friends "forged" AUM block and will my gearbox (O2M) go onto that AUM block?
Currently scoping out forums and looking on google to find out exactly what is best to do from here.
I would be looking for 350ish with my gt28rs which makes me think the AUQ would be useless....
The AUQ engine is fine and the turbo is a K04-001 and it was a good runner with around 250bhp before trying to push it more and wasting the oil seals if anyone is interested PM me ha
-
Note to self... I hate gt28 turbos there too big and I hate them...
Althoughhhhhh look how small they make a ko4 look :nerd:

Working on car after paint job is never good.

And managed to get my ATP manifold on today and fit the turbo and got new oil pipes I had made up custom fitted :lipsrsealed:
Thanks to some lovely flavoured water made it through the day ha

Hopefully complete the setup tomorow and tuned by end of this week :laugh:
-
So the car is running the GT28RS.
Full setup but car is struggling at top boost stuttering I'm wondering if its because I downgraded to a 3bar fpr instead of my 4bar one but is it starving the turbo at top boost?
Also mite be thinking its the coil packs and ideas??
-
Ring rtech haha! That turbo is massive
-
I'm not ringing r-tech.. I mite later tho..
Anyways big boys things now....
Monster exhaust is on :laugh:

Should see a nice 300 start of next week and hope for 400 once I fit my forged block :evil:
Pics to follow and I would like to add my old ko4 setup full setup everything you need to run it is for sale stupidly cheap in classifieds ayeeeee.
-
you went for the 3inch exhaust then an not the 2.5 :smiley:
-
From turbo back ha

Stopped near the 300 mark as still running standard internals, forge bottom end going on early next year.
-
Holy shizen
-
This is gonna be an awesome car when its finished :grin:
-
It's awesome now! Ha
-
Just so folk know I'm selling my old ko4 setup.

Sending gt28 away for some nice brass bearings to replace the plastic ones garrett fit standard..

did that revo guy break your turbo again :whistle:
-
Took it all off for inspection and there was a slight noise from bearing casing after some research found out they had plastic casing to getting them changed.
How's the 250bhp 4x4 land drover build coming along?? :whistle:

no sue but its in safe hands looking pretty in r-tech :smug:
-
Car looks pretty good dude :smiley:
Is this going to be custom mapped?
I was goin to say 300 is pretty low for a gt28rs!.....but the. Noticed you said your being date till you uprate the internals which I guess is sensible :laugh:
Look forward to future update :cool:
P.s you need to stop calling the 001 a k04 :laugh:
It's just a small k03 hybrid. If you sell it as a k04 someone will be disappointed :smiley:
-
Says ko4 on it not ko3-s hybrid ha
-
But it's a k03s housing...... :laugh:
Just saying as k04s are cable of 300bhp
The 001 maxes at not much over 260bhp so quote a difference :laugh:
Just don't want you to accidentally sell it falsely described :smiley:
Car looks nice anyway dude, liking the bumper :cool:
The exhaust custom?
-
Yeh it's all pretty much made by myself :)

Been a while since my last post but still got the golf and still playing with it..
So here's the lady just before getting tucked up for winter running just above 300bhp.

Seems to spend all it's time on these ramps, checked all around car to see if anything fitted last year had moved or needed attention.
(http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j462/Zeroooooooooo/7b26e436a768c78ad1bd6e571d64bfaa_zpse943da53.jpg)
New water pump and oil pick up pipe and few other parts in there too..

After a full day of prep the car was undersealed.

Re-sprayed the front bumper again to get rid of stone chips... Damn motorway driving!
Car looking perfect and mint again.

With a brand new gt28rs and mani sitting next year should be filled with shows and cruises whilst I get the bottom end I purchased that was 1/2 finished completed. I have asked the friend building to take pics so should see a build progress.
-
:cool: sneaky peak and a clue to what my next post will be....

Out ye come little engine, think Jamie's getting the hang of taking the engine out been a few times now.
(http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j462/Zeroooooooooo/d856601bff073018f410692b9043183a_zps81ea7d62.jpg)
Why hide the turbo away down behind the engine when you can have it up here???

Seriously starting to worry about this summer and thinking about what power to settle at with the standard AUQ internals .... 300 was my bench mark and then going to get the forged bottom end in next winter, but with 350+ as an option with the new turbo should I try it out?
Anyone willing to donate some second hand forged rods for the cause :whistle:
I have a full kit to do the bottom end but wasn't wanting too much this time round, main worry is that with the lack of logged trials with the big turbos it's hard to choose a "safe" power. This is mainly due to all the bottom end parts being inconsistent and not straining the same with some users failing at low end power.
I will try to put some sort of answer together for this once all is up and running I have asked r-tech for there input and I have pm'd a few users.
-
cant see the bottom end lasting long but its not the bhp that will bend them its the torque :smiley:
-
Yep, I see that but needs to last the summer really.

is there any point when you know you cant really use the power for fearing it will blow up :undecided: why not just do it right 1st time
-
Want to use the car this summer..

get rods in it now then :wink:

So much hassle as engine is literally just back in.. Wasn't worried then I stared reading into forums and seeing people blow pistons at 290ftlb.
Barry I will have to come see you at some point, I'm currently working on the M8 interchange so I'm down there daily if your about.

your welcome and i have a spare aum engine sitting here :whistle:
-
May come in handy :whistle:
-
i would get rods in yours before getting it mapped :sad:

+1 on this
Why fork out twice for labour etc as if you bend something you may end up needing a whole new engine........
You simply cannot skimp or put anything at risk when you are going for big numbers

an that turbo looks like it could throw some good numbers at the wheels :smiley:
-
Yes, I am 100% going for the full works this winter but just looking to get through this summer with good power, may take rods up and get them fitted if Jamie is up for it.
As posted a while ago I have a spare bottom end with all the parts to upgrade most of the block but that's still sitting in me shed, More time and money and it will be ready for next winter to get it in the car along with some more parts purchased this summer.
300bhp should see it through summer on stock internals but I bet I regret saying that... :lipsrsealed:

waste of time fitting that big turbo to be happy with 300bhp :whistle:
-
I know, just for this summer and then back in for winter.
About 1k gets me pistons fitted, I would settle at 280 just to get use of the car this year.
280 wouldn't be that slow and it lets me drive round as the other block is being put together.
It's not an easy decision to make.

so your happy that ppl with a k250 turbo will be running near enough the same power as you with that big turbo :evil:

Wee update..
Just before engine out again...

Jamie's new ramp, making life easier again.

Turbo on and engine in and running, some minor pipe alterations since this photo nothing major.
(http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j462/Zeroooooooooo/imagejpg8_zps1bb9d213.jpg)
Looking good with car running perfect and no issues yet, run the turbo on the stage 3+ this year and look at some big power after the winter and a lot of custom ideas going ahead next time the car is in the garage.
Bumpers re sprayed again to get rid of stone chips and ready for some shows :evil:
-
Ready to rock'n'roll again :cool:

Looks lovely and a beast underneath!
-
Scott what manifold is that ? I like the cast piece to make it top mount where can I buy theses things..
-
American website I will try find the link for you
-
Please do mate I really like.. Any idea on cost ?
-
is that a stock manifold with an adaptor to fit a garrett turbo to it? looks very restrictive for the size for the turbo, no?
-
ATP manifold with adapter, and heat soak gasket to keep temp down.

That's a genuine one as well, friend has that whole setup on his mk2.

Bump::
Car is coming home early next week so I will upload some pics when it arrives, then 1000 miles on the new engine as soon as I can followed by the remap settings adjustment. :whistle:
-
Pretty much same set up im getting but gt3071r im going for.
-
She's on the road again, running well and just in time for winter :sick:
Looking great though.

1000 miles to let bottom end run in then back onto dyno see what power we can get up to.

Engine bay getting there and paint looking amazing after a week cleaning!
Some pics

Can't wait for the summer, recent dyno of 360+bhp looks good for next year once idle issues solved.
-
Can't beat a tidy engine bay...
Hopefully she'll do you proud once the engine's run in :afro:
-
Thanks wazzzer!
Fair bit of time spent on that bay now..
-
Out for a wee run...

Then a clean and back away from the salt ha
-
Has Car been mapped yet????
-
I nearly reported the picture of your engine bay to the moderators, don't think that level of p**n is allowed? Looks beautiful...
-
Yes it has, out in it today getting 2.0 bar of boost.. :evil:
Dyno soon :whistle:
-
Hi car dyno'd yet???
-
Nope!
Should really get that done, runs well at the moment :nerd:
-
Just a note..
Car still running nice :rolleyes:
-
Out in the sunshine today!

Hope to put some miles on the golf this year!

I have been searching for the turbo to manifold adapter for some time now and also the turbo to down pipe. Did you get these custom made or do you have any info on where I can get them from.
Cheers dan
