That's so rad!

How much power is that putting out? well more importantly how fast is it to 100?

It looks wicked!

car is very strong through the gears,
Quaife 6 speed gives just under 80ks in 1st ,well past 100 in 2nd,starts to get solid traction in 3rd on dry seal,its a real hoot to drive,just love the quaife atb and box.
Time will tell how fast it is but feels like 5 secs to 100k.I fitted the chip recently which is supposed to give extra 80ft lbs and 47 extra hp.
Could be with the large exhaust 220 hp maybe and 240ftlbs.
The dyno will tell all.
I have fitted 3 coby 2.5" mufflers but is still to noisy for me.
Next thing i must do is experiment with suspension settings and corner weights.

That's the G60 box with quaife 6 speed isn't it?

qta4

Yes G60 box with Quaife 6 speed semi-helical kit ,ATB diff,Billett flywheel from Autotech
VR6/ G60 clutch assy with home made cable actuator.
I had to fabricate a lever assembly to get the clutch ratio correct.
The mk1 clutch lever moves cable about 80mm full travel, but G60 clutch only moves about 50mm at the clutch, so i made a lever with the correct ratio and clutch is as light as original.
I also reinforced the firewall to support clutch cable(common weak spot).

I never realised why it was so heavy. Yeah I had to make a plate for the firewall after the clutch cable pulled right through. After doing that and readjusting the clutch cable I then managed to snap it completely by having it actuate way before the clutch pedal was at the floor, that and having aluminium bushes instead of rubber ones meant there was no give.
The cable is now aircraft control cable so hopefully that will never snap on Basil!

As soon as Basil has the G60 setup as he wants it you should bring your car down and have a bit of a compare round ruapuna, it would be rather interesting and funny as hell to watch two ridiculously fast Mk1's going hell for leather round the track

dubsub

is there any word from basil on when we might see him on the track???
My mechanic told me "I couldn't fix your brakes, so I made your horn louder".

gfunk

I haven't talked to him for a while. Last time I saw him was just after he got the golf back off Brian with the new brakes in place, new fuel pump, interior stripped and the close ratio box back in. The front engine mount bracket was ready to be welded in and the roll cage had to be made.

just as i was starting to build up some confidence, someone goes and raises the bar... the 1.8t mk1 is a very cool car indeed. my red gti has rather a long way to go... will have to build the 2.0 16v now that there's a mad 1.8t far off in the distance.

A 16v G60 would have to be the ticket.

A 1.8T is a far better way to go though. I dont think there is any 16V G60 engines in the country.

if anyone wants to repower a mk1 with 20v , may i suggest getting hold of the AEB version.
This engine is from 96-99 audi a41.8t either manual or auto or the passat 96-99.
Both have the drivers side engine mount holes in the block, just bolt on, all other mounts are mounted to gearbox, easy.
use 16v cam belt tensioner, i didnt though, i did it the hard way and used original 1.8t.
If you can get hold of the engine bay wiring loom i can supply wiring diagrams to suit.
The ECU to use is the american version 8d0 907 557?  non immobiliser.
If  i was to start over again it wouldnt take anywhere the 2.5 yrs this project has.

No 16v G60 engines in NZ.  Well, who would have thought!

No need to be cheeky.

As far as I know, there are only two G60 engined cars in NZ and one G40.
