here are some vids of smokeydub's jetta at the strip. This was with the leaking, crappy holset junk turbo that could barely make 10psi.

3rd video is a high clutch dump. man that was slow i think it did like a 17.3 or something it kept getting worse and worse. by the end of the night it wouldnt make more then 5 psi.

cant wait till my garage is done and winter comes. i can finish my car. I wanna take everything apart and watersand and polish everything, and build a complete franken engine ie k26/24 hybrid with a 1.9 head and some nitrous

very nice lookin ride

I wonder how well your engine will start with the 1.9 head. I've wanted to do that conversion as well

well im only going to be driving it when its warm out (summer car) so i dont think it will be that bad. i am getting dr.diesel to help considering hes the only one i know of that hasnt had any problems with that combo. and thanks for the compliment.

Once Mark's (Malone) new, @ the time, motor was broken in he had no problems with that swap either. :wink:

hmm, after i get a 2.5" down pipe, an intercooler installed, governor, and some 4b cummins goodies on my injector pump (which with all that stuff i'm sure i'd easily be in the 15's cause i am evil haha) i'd like to do a 1.9 head swap with studs and a metal gasket on my car, it will be a bit of a pita since my car is a solid lifter but hehe hopefully i can get this all done next year. but i also dunno about putting all that money into it, when a tdi-m seems to look alot more optimistic.

Yeah, drove from new to 10,000km through the Winter season without starting difficulties with a 1-hole headgasket, and that was with a shaved deck on the 1.9 head for lower compression. A standard 1.9 head on a 1.6 block is nothing to worry about.

you shaved the head for lower compression :?:

yea lowering the compression ratio on your motor can make it perform better. The only real reason our motors have 23:1 is for cold starts. I said before on this forum somewhere that when my mechanic was in Poland there were these old Russian trucks that would start on gasoline, and then run on diesel (lol I know... must have smoked like a chimney! but they still ran!)

I believe our motors could run sufficiently with 17:1 cr, or maybe lower.

Once I get my zero-start coolant heater hooked up, and my marine battery+inverter, I won't have to worry about cold starts whatsoever... My car starts great now, but who knows about when its -25C... The heat will be great for short trip as well. Any small amount of heat you can throw at the motor before a cold start is going to help keep it alive longer.
