I WANT LAG
« on: 01 March 2006, 11:30 »
Ever since i started hanging around the Ford Boys back in the day ive been obsessed with Turbo's! Ive learnt loads of stuff about Fords, and amongst me and my mates we have built some seriously quick cars......
for example,
mates cars include -

Fiesta RS Turbo , 1800cc CVH (194 bhp 245 Ib Torque) before it was run in!
Escort RS Turbo , 1987cc CVH (250 bhp 260 Ib Torque) on 7psi boost (300+ 20psi)
Escort RS Turbo , 1600cc CVH (189 bhp 190 Ib Torque) on 7psi boost (fuel prob)
Fiesta RS Turbo , 2200cc Zetec (360 bhp)
Sierra Sapphire ,  2000cc COS (400+ bhp)
Escort Cosworth  2200cc COS (575 bhp)

Then theres me in me Golf!  :embarassed:
Ive found Fords are so easy and Cheap to extract BHP and Torque!
What have VAG got to offer to compete with ford? i want Old Skool, nothing new like 20VT cuz simply cant afford to fix it myself....
I was thinking more like Audi Quattro Turbo? or what BHP can Golf G60's goto easily?

Actually, to make things clear and so i dont get any abuse from VW blooded boffs, im still keeping my Mk2 Golf, but using it as a daily runner... i start new job Monday with company van so will be able to afford to build myself a fun car. just after some suggestions?

Also was toying with idea of Vauxhall Nova 1.2, i have an Astra GTE race prep engine kicking about and that would go nicely?
What ever i get is gonna be race stripped, road race prepared. so light as possible with only racing in mind!

sounds like fun. What about monster sizing the engine? VR6 Turbos are supposed to be able to go to silly bhp's.

Twin turbo - Audi Quattro engine.... mmmmmm power - the trouble is finding the engines... they are rare as these days...

Why not drop a ford engine into VW....

How much would you be looking for your Mk2 Turbo Mart?

I wanted to build my own fun car but it will prob be cheaper to buy ready made one!  :rolleyes:

No point in having all that power if you can't put it down round the corners and in a straight line you only get done for speeding. You want to go light weight striped out racer running balanced engine.
Fords may go quick and have big power but not for very long, unless the engine is made battle proof.
my Fiesta 1800 cvh RST running too much boost, it was fun while it lasted. :laugh:
