Erik
05 Golf Estate TDI
GLS
AFE cold air kit
Evolution Imports skid plate
Limo tint all around
XM radio on Panasonic deck
Dirt most of the time (yes its an upgrade)
Looking at chip tuning, clutch, short shift kit, FMIC, VNT17
It's still a work in progress, but it has come a long way
Here are my IDIs:
First my old Rabbit which started as a 1.6 NA, upgraded to a BAE kit w/ intercooler in 2002 then to a factory 1.6 TD with intercooler in 2003. Currently being restored and updated by my friend Jay.
My departure into Minis. This is an N/A car that really goes like hell. Has a 1.5 Pugeot TUD motor with a Bosch pump out of a 1.8 Fiesta. I may try adding a turbo after I complete my next couple of VW projects. I also have another Mini shell and a 1.7 Isuzu TD waiting transplant.
Last is my current IDI project. 1.6 Rabbit with turbo and manifolds from a 2001 TDI and a big intercooler currently being installed.
here's my wip, it's a little dirty...
Is this a turbo AAZ with no LDA??
its an ADG industrial engine with a governed pump for the time being, only about 3 thousand rpm i think. but 50 mpg. k14 turbo off ecodiesel.
Hey all, new to the posts but have done a TON of reading from the site. I think this is my 8th VW, 3rd diesel. I'll try to be short about the description. 86 Golf, 1.6 NA, 5 speed, 128K miles. 6K less on engine, previous owner used tow bar to take to Texas 3 times....
I am the 3rd owner of the car but the first owner only had it for 6K miles. The second owner bought it in the fall of 86 when he was 61 years young and I bought it in April. Yes he was 82 when he sold it... This by far has to be one of the cleanest MK2 Golfs I have seen in the area. It only went about 20 miles each way to the golf course about 3-4 times a week. It has never seen winter until this year. Always garage kept. Mann and Bosch filters since new.....I can go on and on and on about how nice it is but I'll let the photos do the talking.
I've repaired some minor things and replaced some warn parts here and there. Pump is 'screwed' in just a touch :wink: . As soon as my timing tools come she's going to 1.00mm advanced. I tinted the windows, added my stereo and added my filter mod. She gets me about 40-44 mpg depending on how I drive it
and the previous owner told me that he thought I'd burn her up runnin 65-75 every day!!! He also changed oil every 2-3K miles b/c "diesel oil gets dirty quick." HAHAHA it uses less oil now than it did when I bought it!!! Anyway to the photos...
Now that the
swap is done and mostly together and it's had a wash and a bit of a detail I can share some pics of the 89 Jetta Carat TD (Eco for now).
1.6L TD, ASF Code Trans, power windows, locks, and mirrors, sunroof, 6 speaker ACTIV Audio, Eibach Springs, TurboGas Struts, 4 wheel disc brakes.
And the 03 Jetta TDI Wagon (Needs a wash.) :lol:
Bone Stock, .205 injectors, CB Radio, 218,000 miles.
My 1990 Golf 1.6TD all standard atm.
Will be doing the governor mod, boost controller, exhaust and maybe an intercooler in the near future.
The eingine that has caused me some confusion. but never mind ill mod it
once i get the new head.
Greasecar: i love your mini, looks so nice. how on earth did u squeeze that engine in there lol. Excellent job, nice
