Golf MK2 16v ITB MS: Project Chronicles
Posted: Mon Jun 14, 2010 1:49 pm
Hi all, i have had my Golf a few years now and I would like to add her to the forum here, ill try and update progress as and when.
Stage 1
The Golf has been running MS1 Extra for over 2 years now and in that time she has gone through a few changes.
It all started with and engine change to a 1.9L 16v KR, i decided to run ITB's and MS to help increase her pace. The ITB's were taken from a GSX-R motor bike, they taper from 48mm to 42mm at the butterfly. I used the standard KR lower manifold chopped down, runners were ovaled and welded on with a take of for the brakes and brackets for the fuel rail which is VAG, taken from a 1.8T engine and has its own fuel rail.
I used all stainless fastenings.
The bodies themselves are individual and bolt together, I needed to space them with some ali i spun on the lathe to 88mm - same as the injector spacing and fuel rail. The injector holes on the ITB's were blocked up with some cut down bolts.
Nice straight runner was good for the inlet track,
The throttle linkage needed to be altered and rewelded to work with the stock cable, tho' this needed modding too.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BLUE HOSES WHERE TOO LONG AND IMPLODED ON IDLE SO DO NOT USE!
I ran EDIS, a F*rd coil pack and external trigger wheel and VR pick up.
I made a backing plate from Ti,
And lowered the radiator by dropping the cross member.
Fitted an ITG filter and all was good.
The car itself had a bit of a restore, I had her respryed, and added all new parts, HR coil overs and anti role bars, G60 brakes new lines etc and some seats.
ECU lives in the glove box.
I ran the car like this for over a year, she worked very well on track.
She made 179bhp and 149lbft, map was smooth and she pulled well throught to 8000rpm.
