Well originally I was just gonna pay him $200 total for materials and his time.. but instead I traded my body. haha. I worked with no chicks, just his crazy farmer cousins. Super farmer family.. His dad has 14 other siblings.. He has like 49 first cousins!!!!!
It is a fully beast exhaust though, he even polished the part that sticks out from under the car.. so it looks like a tip.. but wont rust
. I will most certainly have to update the exhaust note thread when I get it all back together. I've got the engine bay torn right back down now and am doing a WHOLE TON of reorganizing. I wanna put the battery in the trunk and then run a fuse block up in the bay to power all of what I power directly from the battery currently.
Here is something I wanted to run by you guys as I am curious as to why it is this way.. Me and my brother both have mk1's (you all probably know this anyway hah), they are both powered by 1.9's. Mine being the M-TDI and his being an AAZ. I have a turned down 11mm pump and stock injectors, and he has a maxed out 9mm and stock injectors (albeit the IDI injectors are plenty oversize). Both have new bearings, and no drag on the brakes. We have similar transmissions so we cruise within 50 RPMS of each other as well. I know I have a 180 stat, and I am sure his is similar.. They both also have non inter-cooled k03's
Now what I want to know is why
my cruising temps are 180-190 and
his are 165-175, I will pull a hill and my temps (on a hot sunny day) could easily rise to 205.. his barely touches 180. We even have the same short non-ac mk1 radiators.
I thought the DI was supposed to use less fuel for a given RPM over their IDI 1.9 counterpart?? Thus less heat from combustion.. not to mention less actually lost in to the cooling system via thermal transfer. SO what the hell is going on here lol.
I have a theory, the injectors seem like they are RETARDED dirty as it s
