hi just bought my first vw golf gti its a 3dr mk4 2.0l gti any info on tuning most gratefull will put some pix up soon
-
not alot for a 2.0 8v im afraid...
welcome by the way!
-
not worth it buddy sorry but its a bad engine..
-
A good service using quality parts, an exhaust and filter and then sort the handling. Gains will be minimal but as aleady said there isnt alot you can do with the 2.0 engine.
-
cant it be turbo'd?
-
nos!
-
far too much money just buy 1.8t
-
It probably could but the costs and time involved in doing it properly would be far far higher than just going out and buying a nice 1.8T.
-
thinking of exhaust an forced induction phase 2 remap will put to about 140ish but got a garret gt28 turbo in garage wat work wud i have to do to turbo it? does it require forged pistons?
-
Too much work! Plus 140 bhp in a car of that weight is embarrassing after what it'll cost..... Save for a 1.8 T :smiley:
-
lots of work.. do a search its been asked a million times by people buying a bad engined mk4 golf.. like agu owners !!
-
AGU is the tits. I'll spank any ko3s equipped mk4 and have no faults...... :laugh:
-
how much wud i get a 1.8t engine for
-
just buy a mk4 1.8t..... engine alone would be £400 at a guess but would require more than just engine for install..
-
is it imposs to get 200bhp out of one then?
-
You can get a 1.8T that was made in a factory for <£1500, probably less if you buy before Xmas. Much easier than spending more than that on looms, engine, ancillaries etc and still being short of the interior, brakes, suspension, trim, bumpers etc......
-
My AGU is 236bhp and just over 270ftlbs
-
not to dear then will maybe sell mine in spring
-
my 1.8t is 221bhp and 235 f/lb's... with minimal mods..
-
Im going to look out for an agu for my next one. More reliable and can take more power with a decent turbo. Although i dont think theres much in it if both have ko3s on
-
AGU comes out trumps for power figures although AUM delivers the power more smoothly and constantly. I know an awesome red AGU that could be sold.....
-
you along with many other agu owners lool :laugh:
-
Although not red...... It would be AUM owners but who wants a car with an ECU full of faults..... :grin:
-
im only AUM for the moment think diesel is on the cards lol
-
Ah, Eco warrior! Lol. Their not too bad. If I had to commute in my car I'd probably have a tractor sound-a-like. I hate the sound of my van and the smell the dirt pump leaves on my hands! Are you into re-fitting pipes? :grin:
-
thing is buddy im currently doing 1200 miles a month in the 1.8t so cost of petrol isnt a problem.. just dont want to rack up loads of miles as it only has 62k at the mo.. i have the mk2 for fun now so saving money is on the cards :smiley:
-
Good skills. 2 cars would be epic! :smiley:
-
someones gotta do it :smiley:
-
Must be awesome earning money! I seem to be doing electrics for the love at the moment. Might register as a charity at this rate! :laugh: one day I'll have a fleet of golfs and m3's.....
-
well not being a snob but i currently own.. a mk2 8v.. a mk3 16v.. and a mk4 1.8t :grin: :grin:
-
Yo are the Don! I own 1 mk4 golf and have a company Vivaro :sick: That is all apart from half a car of bits that have been uprated in my spare room.....
-
its not bad for my age lol.. im keeping the mk3 engine everything else is for sale soon..
-
How old are you?
-
was 20 yesterday :laugh:
-
Bankrobber eh?
-
if only mate just work bloody hard and long hours to afford nice things lol
-
I do that but don't seem any better off. You'll have to teach me! What is your chosen career?
-
im a civil servant.. just because i have stuff doesnt mean it costs me lol
