Just out of interest whats your budget to acheive 400hp?
I'm sorry you do appear to have confused with the common rice burner, anyone who knows me knows I'm all go no show :wink:
Yeah man..... Won't disclose what I'm prepared to spend on the forum incase any of the tuners I'm waiting on suddenly come up with a figure after Reading it!
But yeah, a few things I'm going to be quite lucky with, such as LSD, gearbox, clutch and the like, met some useful people purely by fluke which will help with budget considerably!
Hulmie I could pretty much bum youright now!
Well then......now its Just a Turbo, Genesis injectors, gearbox and a magic tree you need to look out for!
What brakes you gone for?
I just soiled myself.

If anything i have said fantastic thread
but this thread does not deliver in my opinion.
alan is still a tw4t :wink:
This is an awesome thread, as not many people seem to be wanting to go down the power route with the mk4 these days! Of course you get people pissing around with KKK turbo,s but to honest this is only speaking around 250-260bhp.
Until i see the words "GT" and then a large number behind it, it does not interest me, so when i saw this thread with the words "gt28rs", it certainly grabbed my attention. I love to see people take on a massive challenge, and do it themselves to a level that they want it to.
so sorry to go against the flow here, but this thread does not deliver in my opinion. This was a pretty easy way out to a big project in my opinion. Buying an engine that has been made and crafted by someone else does not mean that you have made a car that has 450bhp, because you might aswell have gone out and bought a car thats 450bhp. People who own nissan sklyline GTRs dont take the credit for "making" there cars 500bhp, as they did not make it, they bought it!
So in my eyes i think this is in some ways "an easy way out" . I know some people will disagree with this opinion, but hey its a forum! I like debates. I am starting some major major major work on my car in this next 2 years! So major the car might not look like a mk4 anymore,and of course that includes engine! But this is something that i want to say " bloody hell, i actually did it, i have achieved what i set out to do" , and when this day comes i will be one proud guy.
I know some people have written good decision on buying the engine as alot of time saved, alot of hassle saved, alot of money saved etc etc etc. But thats not what modifying is about! These things should take time, they should take hassle and of course money! As thats what tuning to me is about! I could have quite easily taken my car to the garage every time i wanted something doing, but no. whats the point! I would much rather lie on the floor of my garage covered in sh!t, through the night, working and resolving through a problem! As cars should be hassle! As when you resolve the issue, it's all worth while!
Sorry to ramble, but just thought i would give out my opinion on this. as to be honest if i had that engine! I would feel like i was cheating the project, myself and the car!
not sure if i am going off subject here, but i read somewhere that the 2.0 fsi crank will fit into the 1.8t block as long as you press on the oil pump gear. this will take you up to 2008cc.. im not sure what else you need for this set up though.. perhaps a rebore and bigger pistons for more im not sure. but with all the other gubbins im sure this will make a huge benifit.. only thing is i cant remember where i heared it.. im sure it was some american company selling a stoker kit for the 1.8t but i think they gave too much info away whoever they were.. perhaps i am doing the same..lol :lipsrsealed:
You said stroker, ha ha.lmao.. you sounded yank yourself then.. bit like nelson off simpsons..lol
nick
Now this is what i call a debate! This to me is one of the best discussions there has been on this forum in months!
Ivor nice to hear from you mate, i agree with everything that your saying! But again missing my point to a degree. I am not slating the engine by the guy who built it , as i have read up on alot of his stuff before and he really does know his sh!t! Nor am i slating the guy whose bought it!
As the post a few threads upwards suggests, its just my mind set. Built not bought! Thats just me! I am not slating that this guy has gone out and bought it as hes spent alot of money there! And it will perform like a monster! I am just simply stating in my eyes i dont see that as a project! Its more of a good buy if you will.
I love how people keep bringing up NOS. Yet to be honest i dont even think highly of NOS, it was a test, an experiment. And it also very very rarely been done a mk4 golf! which again is why i did it! To get the mk4's out there! The car got a feature in Banzai just for having it!
But im not trying to annoy Jord with my threads. if anything compliment him on a superb buy! Its just if you imagine the build thread for this.it would be 'bought the engine', 'fitted the engine' and thats it!
But to me , i like to see the whole lot! Late nights working out why thats not working, getting parts in you thought you would never need! getting 5 mates to help you get the gearbox in, bottom end out! to me thats motorsport! but i stress! that is me! It might not be everyone!

Imagine if i said that your all wrong and that the golf should just be left as its standard self? lol :sick:

Then with a signature like that, you've got a lot of explaining to do! :laugh:
Enough pissing about.
How about an update on the build or parts-shopping?
