aCe 0 Posted March 12, 2009 yeah it came out mint DO NOT LET MY MISSUS KNOW THOUGH! took 3 goes but it was worth it 1 clean block/head/all pipes/sump/ infact the washer was going most of the day Love it! How come you don't have an adjustable venier pulley? what capacity is it (if its 1900 the power seems very low imo) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimbean 0 Posted March 12, 2009 Love it! How come you don't have an adjustable venier pulley? what capacity is it (if its 1900 the power seems very low imo) its a 1600 and the pully was a early one with a roll pin re drilled and locked but be honest the timing was very close to standard gti timing i had to check power band info and we are cock on reason i checked is when we had the ignition timing prob.... co driver blamed valve timing.... so it was checked and double checked it is easy to condem engine work but when it comes down to it i stand my ground.... and i was right on this occasion 1 look at dissy brought the fault straight to surface co drivers suck ass!

Mark205 1 Posted March 12, 2009 If its 1600, why does it have the spacer plate! I washed a carb in a dishwaser once, opened the washer to early and fuel smelled steam filled the room. OOPS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimbean 0 Posted March 12, 2009 If its 1600, why does it have the spacer plate! I washed a carb in a dishwaser once, opened the washer to early and fuel smelled steam filled the room. OOPS. spacer plate and 1.9 sump for bottom end strength trying to makr the engine strong and powerfull now all we need is the driver to rev it harder my last conversation went as follows that shift light is no good.... it never flashed once....when did you change gear? duno! well try letting the shift light flash.... rev the f***in thing!!!

jimbean 0 Posted March 13, 2009 It'd be good to see a graph? I'm sure you said it was 125ATW in another thread... it would be great to see a graph but i don`t have 1 as i said mr bogg does not run a digital rolling road just a analog dial on wall end of the day our little 1.6 gti seeing 120ish on dial is good too me and as you can see from pics the basics are there it is out this weekend so fingers crossed we will get a good result i will get some more pics and spec of car at weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimbean 0 Posted March 13, 2009 "Frodo pads" PMSL! best misspelling I've seen in ages! no extra compression? Lumpy stick + standard 8 valve compression = horrible unde 2.5-3k sorry for my dyslexia... thats why i became a mechanic and not a teacher lol as for cr head had a heavy skim but i did not calculate the ratio it was too much like hard work and it does like high revs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
