Frankensteins monster: Golf turbo 1.9t build
« on: 07 March 2016, 20:06 »
Afternoon all,

Im not usually one to share nor make forum posts so most of this is new to me ( Go easy! ) But a few friends have asked me to share my build, so here I am!

So it all started a when I was a teenager, Infatuated by hot hatches in Max Power (along side the half nude chick posters that were plastered all over my wall like every other kid my age) Difference was, when everyone else would buy it for the baps, I was reading, researching and collecting information about hatches, little did I know that bug would burrow under my skin..

So 15 years later, here I am. Ive had cars from Xr2i, Polos, Golf mk1's to 200sx's circa 300hp, but none of them done it for me, I needed something more, something more powerful.. So I sold my Mk1 and started a new build. Frankensteins monster..

First things first, I needed a platform. So purchased a decent mk4, Weitec coilovers, Whiteline front arb, Eibach rear, Completely polybushed and everything brand new.


So whats the aim? Track car / Savage road vehicle. Mid 600's and plenty of traction.




Time to get a new engine:





Also wanted to go 6sp, So bought a 02m.

Small port just wasnt going to cut it, So I found an AEB the other side of the country.



Now I had a few basics it was time to make those all important orders. Id like to throw a huge thank you to Integrated Engineering, CTS, Precision & Tial for all their customer service. Super happy with the services guys.











Every day for a month I was being snowed under with imported parts from the Usa, Canada, Germany etc and needed to slow up before the garage overflowed. Time to get to grips and clean this turd.

Poor golf served well, but soon you'll have your heart transplant..



Fitting the Intercooler (trial fitment to gain knowledge where oil cooler will be located)



Time to get down to business...





Cleaned, stripped and Por15d



















Apologies in advance but I dont have any pictures available of the progress of the bottom end, I went with a forged 06a crank with ARP stud hardware top to bottom. I usually press on so much with work and often find myself forgetting to stop and take pictures!

Check out the vile caked on crap on the top end, only one fix for this..













So the head was now clean, sent off to Porsche to have the head skimmed, new valve train cut & angled in, new guides in and reemed out to spec. Came back:

Strippin' the box.





Forks are a huge issue on the 02m's so we will deal with that issue but first, Time to get drillin'

















Time to get the cases rebuilt:



Again, Stripped blasted and painted:











Pegging the crank:







By dear god alive, the sun came out.. Yes the sun, In the UK... I had to drag everything out to work in this glorious weather as opposed to be locked away in a dark cave going off my head.. It was short lived. Started to piss it down in a couple of hours after this.. Theres a surprise !



Head on, and other little bits and bobs:









The snail arrived from USA amongst a small arrival of other parts:













Time to crack on with some bits for the actual vehicle:





Trial fitting the fuel system...









Hell on earth figuring out all the wiring ( making my own loom for just about everything, including entire loom for fuel system to link to new ecu )



Not entirely sure on seat choice as of yet.. Ive put some terry (weight) on since xmas and its hard to get my man curves in there right now and feel comfortable... May go for something a little better than the Sprints soon......



Still need to rip out the other half of the interior and get lots welded...





Okay my fingers are killing me now and im about to shoot off to London o2 tonight for a night out. Ill post some more this weekend when I get back.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the kind words guys. Its a precision 62mm Billet CEA for now until I get to the stage of mapping, then I can plan the future direction of the project. Kind of wishing I stuck with the VRT build, as I am still undecided in which direction I will be going nect year (4mo full control vs Rwd fun runner)

I will stick to FWD for this year and have a few fun days inc a couple of maps. I have another tasty order I have been waiting for but as per usual, custom parts take custom time... Sigh...

Stay tuned & please stay with me on this one, Promise it will be worth it.

Thanks again gents!
