Thanks!

Well, the twin charged 260 hp engine was reliable.
We do have a couple of tricks up our sleeve though :wink:
And actually, it should make 200 hp de-tuned, max should be around
220-230 hp. But yeah, it's going to be a challenge!

The wheels cost around 550 eur, or $700. There are cheaper wheels of course, but when you compare to real BBS, well...

Sure, I'm going to update this topic all the time whenever something happens. Right now I'm waiting for a few parts so not much to do.

Wow.
I'm just glad you're in Finland so you won't make me look quite so bad.
Wow.

Why? I've been watching your project for a while and I think it looks good.
You're being too modest

Mine is absolute rubbish! I'm not even taking he block out of the car. The cdn dollar dropped right as I made an order with Prothe so it cost 200$ more than I had anticipated so I had to remove over bore and pistons from my list.

All I'm doing performance wise is hone, arp studs, TDI intake, aaz head+a lil porting, boost/fuel mods and 2.5 to 3 dual exhaust. and a new water pump. And, of course, the plethora of gauges to make sure I don't ruin everything.

To me, it's not a real rebuild at all. I'm not changing the main bearing or the bearings on the intermediate shaft. I'm not boring when I should be.

I'm using cheap chinese parts with very old and worn stock ones. (although the turbo (t3) is surprisingly OK) My build started out good and just gets more and more welfare towards the end. I'll be lucky if it makes 100hp, and keep reliability.

Add ceramic coated .5mm over pistons, a cleaned block, new bearings all around, a giles super pump, and better than stock exhaust manifold (like yours there) and I'll have something comparable but what would that cost??? 1,000 for the pump, 500 for the 0.5mm over job... At least $1,500 thats basically what I've spent on the car already in total including purchase price. No way I can afford it! If I didn't pay tuition this semester I could for sure and i'd be smokeing :wink: all those blasted ricers!!!

I don't know how bad the ricer situation is in finland but you show those coke suckers!

TurboJ · « **Reply #23 on:** November 04, 2008, 04:08:35 pm »

I hear you man...
I'm way past any reason with my costs too, even though I have calculated the average price for my tuning parts to be 1/3 of the market value.
But in your case, if the bottom end is fine then there's no real need to rebuilt it anyway. I hope that would have been the case for me too!
BTW, I might just be able to source some performance parts for a good price, so PM me if you still have any needs.

And with your specs, I have no doubt whatsoever you'll make a reliable 100 hp - In fact, I would multiply it by 1.5

About the ricers - I'm afraid it's pretty bad in Finland too, but at least that makes for a lot of opportunities to spank 'em. It's a good thing these Jettas are relatively light compared to more modern cars so they go well with modest power even. But to be honest, If I had known from the beginning how far I'd go with my project, I would have opted for a Polo G40 for a starting point - that's 830 kg curb weight (!). Now you know what will happen when rust eventually kills my Jetta body

For now, I'll try to get the bodywork finished in a week or so, and try to book a smartly priced paint service somewhere.

Oh nice! thanks a bunch!
My issue is I don't know how to tell if the bottom end is okay or not! :oops:
Good luck, can't wait to see more!
My parts should come this week...

AAZ-camshaft with 'R-koneistus' reground profile

what cam is it?

TurboJ · « **Reply #26 on:** November 06, 2008, 09:19:00 am »

I don't have the specs right here (they're at my garage), but it's a 1.9 TD (AAZ) camshaft that has been reground for a new profile, namely slightly lower torque on low rpm range, but improved flow in the upper rpm range.
This cam should allow me to run 6000 rpm or even more with no serious flow losses. I'll post the specs here when I have them.

WTF??? :shock: +200 bhp??? in a 1.6cc diesel engine?

I am shocked... and I thought it could suport near 150 bhp...

Nice one there... keep on going, I will be close to this project

Smokey Eddy · « **Reply #28 on:** November 06, 2008, 04:32:11 pm »

What are the torque values on numbers like that with a diesel of our stroke and bore?

Torque means just as much to me as BWHP does

Great build! Interesting thoughts on the NA exhaust manifold. I didn't think the lower end was so fragile that it needed a girdle but I guess it won't hurt right?

Keep us updated!
