ED30 killer

[stealthwolf]

Sounds silly but here goes:

The first car I fell in love with (after Knight Rider) was the mk4 golf gti. Even though I have an ED30, I still look at the MKIV with lust.

Soo......if I bought an anni 1.8T GTI, could I ever mod it to beat (or match) the ED30 on the flat as well as on the bends? Or is it just a pipe dream?

being brutally honest its a pipe dream unless you have thousands of pounds to spend

you need a KO4 conversion or possibly use a BAM engine to start with
suspension modifications
possibly a limited slip diff

and a few others i probably haven't thought of

If you spent enough money on it anythings possible.
V6 4mo supercharged or R32 TT

if you want a genuine ED30 killer.. forget the k04 ideas and go straight for the IHI vf22 or garrett gt28rs (or gt30 if you don't mind a bit of lag before your head gets punched into the headrest )

jabbasport or jbs are probably the people to speak to if you just want to drop off the car as a pussycat and pick it back up as a beast.. but you can do it much much cheaper if you're prepared to source the parts yourself and find a smaller trusted garage to put it all together for you

why do people us the vf22 had one on my old scooby for a couple of weeks and had lots of lag
the vf23 was much better hardly any lag and strong through to the red line
also a good alternative is the td05 20g good for over 400 bhp on the impreza and not to much lag

Awesome stage 3 upgrade should do it 340bhp

No matter what I lusted after when I was younger, if I had an ED 30, I wouldn't be looking at any MK4 with lustful eyes!!Even the R32

Just in a straight line performnace shouldn't take much as far as I can work out. A mk4 GTI weights around 1230kgs so running remap/tip etc 220bhp a mk4 BHP PER TON is 180.85bhp/t
Where as a mk5 ED30 weights 1330kgs and 230bhp works out around 173 BHP PER TON

some good figures there,

anyone know what power standard internals will cope with, on an agu lets say lol

The cost of all the above, you may as well keep the ED30 and buy a Mk4 and have both.... And with the current prices you will probably get change!!!
