you have a nice ride.

Hope you can find a nice relation, between boost and reliability!

It's almost there. :wink:

for city driving its good as it is now.
even on bigger travels i can mantain a good speed without flooring the pedal.
the temps are lower and only making 0.5/0.6 bar at 140/15 on straight

just trying to get some time and money to instal a new and bigger downpipe and advance the pump a bit

Very nice
Did you install the oil squirters?

carrizog60 · « **Reply #5 on:** January 11, 2007, 05:11:16 am »

no.
the engine is stock rebuilt 1.6D.
still holding fine even at 180km trips at 140/160km/h

Hey, that is a very nice car, very impressive. Love the videos. Why did you take off the GTi Lip spoiler?

carrizog60 · « **Reply #7 on:** January 11, 2007, 03:19:13 pm »

i take off the lip because on the roads i pass it was too low.
i am going to lower the car -6cm so the lip will be riped of in 1km...

80-120 in 3ª: 5s
80-120 in 4ª: 6s
80-120 in 5ª: +-8(?)

with the fuel i have now the car seems to drown in fuel and not accelarate as fast but i think as soon i chage my stock airbox and paper filter for one open air(with custom heatshield) and larger downpipe that issue will be gone

Kick ASS!!!

I know I'm jealous... I want a lot of that for my Terc. New paint, better seats (though the SR5 factory ones are really not that bad) engine perf, BETTER GEARBOX... That is one heck of a ride I must say.

carrizog60 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 13, 2007, 03:45:30 pm »

thank you.
for a daily driver is very good,still high mileage with a tank and very good performances!

Looking very nice indeed, and that's a swift looking 0-60. I've just got a set of clocks from a GTI so I can get a rev counter in, as I really miss not having one!
Has the intercooler made a great deal of difference? Did you up the fuelling at all?
Cheers,
Tom

carrizog60 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 15, 2007, 02:15:21 pm »

i mounted the i.c. before increasing fuel so i dont know if it would make any diferences but i bet it would.
as for power upgrades i have uped the fuel,turned the lda pin to the agressive side(pin number is 51) and turned the WG screw all the way in.
for now i am not with much fuel as my wife didnt like the smog the car was making lol.
when i have the time and money i will replace the downpipe with a larger one and as soon as the cone filter arrives i will try to make a custom heatshield and replace the stock airbox and paper filter... :oops:

Looks good! I like the westy grille and lights, something I intend to try on mine at some point.

Tom - try this as a tacho, might be easier than fitting the golf clocks.
