phaserno1 0 Posted March 30, 2004 Go for it, I know a guy who really specials in this kind a work coz he love it, he has just finished building a 2.0L racing engine for my mates MK2 Golf can push out 250 pounds of torque no bad. He is doing a 2.9vr6 turbo conversion as well for me, all has has said is be prepaired to hold on tight......... :!: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted March 30, 2004 I've done one too. We used a Rallye 1H block, ABA cross flow head, ATP exhaust manifold T3 Super 60 hybris turbo, custom inlet manifold and grey injectors, all running of remapped G60 ECU. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leon 0 Posted March 30, 2004 As rmn said I have recently done this conversion into a mk2 golf. It was a bit of a pain in the ass really but I have to say worth it in the end. I originally started out with the intention of using the TD turbo and manifold as you have mentioned but decided against it and instead used a new T3 with the ATP manifold. I ended up building the engine to a much higher spec than originally intended. As a rough idea of the spec and power figures It has 83mm Ross Racing Forged Pistons (ie 1.9l bottom end ) Schrick cam, flowed head, 42lb injectors, FSE adj FPR, T3 turbo ATP manifold and downpipe, Merc Sprinter intercooler, Quaife Diff and Emerald Management and at 13psi (which I am led to believe the turbo isnt even under pressure!) it made 194bhp @ flywheel and 202lbft torque. I have been told that upping the boost to 18-20ish psi should see that bhp at the wheels. I have attached a pic of the finished product Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
