PD TDI 4WD w/ stroker and BW S200V
Hi!
After my engine in my van (Ford Galaxy) broke, I decided I got to get rid of that van and restart. So this time I focused on a descent basis for a powerful engine. Only choice is 4motion, of course - and a lightweight chassis. So I found a nice 2-door Golf Mk4 (2002) 4motion with a PD115 engine. It also has a 6-speed gearbox, so just little mods required there.
My "old" engine is currently being rebuilt - it gets new pistons (VW Crafter, machined), a new cam shaft (dbilas), bigger exh valves (34mm), BigBore PDE (8.5mm or 9mm). And if I find a GTB2260VK at a reasonable price, it'll get a new turbo as well. This package will move into the Golf.
Then there is my Brembo-6-piston brake - I will get some adaptors so I can fit the calipers to the Golf. It will run 334x28mm rotors (probably), but it requires some more fine tuning. Then I want to fit my VW Interlagos wheels (8x18, 41mm offset).
With all this done, I think that Golf will be a little, nice driving machine. I paid it today and probably will have it at my place middle of next week (when registration etc. is done). I'll post a pic soon.
