ryanp · Oct 20, 2012

Incase anyone has not Liked our Facebook (please do!!) I doubt you would have seen the latest project we have been cooking behind the scenes:

http://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/golf-mk4-1-9-8v-tdi-arl-4-motion/

Yes the Exhaust's exit through the hood!! haha

We have a ported head and re-ground cam ready to fit but i want to push the stock long block to the limit first and actually know what certain parts can take before upgrading!!

I'll post some more pic up next week when i get chance!!!

Bad ass Ryan!

K.I.T.T. · Oct 20, 2012

Stock internals eh? My only criticism is it appears to be slightly underbraked

Its built for drag so smaller = Better but it might end up as a track weapon if i keep it!

mrchill · Oct 20, 2012

Why not start with a 4motion golf?

NoJoke · Oct 20, 2012

Very nice! Hows it run? Give some video now!

eddie_1 · Oct 20, 2012

Let's see the smoke in the driver's view!

Alcaid · Oct 20, 2012

How on earth did you fit 2 ea. intercoolers in a mk4? There is hardly any room for one

When will we see a dyno sheet?

andy2 · Oct 20, 2012

Looking really good,anxious to see results.

JarHead · Oct 20, 2012

Wow I want it!!

borachris · Oct 20, 2012

You're a naughty boy!!

flee · Oct 20, 2012

Forget the 6-speed, just send the car!

(Cheers, mate!)

Wow. Awesome build. Can't wait to see it run.

greenzj · Oct 20, 2012

Dear baby jesus!

keaton · Oct 21, 2012

2 FMIC's?

build pics & videos or it didn't happen!!

dieselpower04 · Oct 21, 2012

Moar pics!!!

ForestTDI · Oct 22, 2012

Nice, 1852 is equipped by ported shroud, am I right? Also, any dyno graph, please

ryanp · Oct 22, 2012

More pictures for the Photo Hungry Crowd

The 2 Coolers fit pretty well behind the bumper, took some cutting but is still solid. We could have sat the bottom cooler further back for less cutting, but we want maximum impact!

'Up Pipe' and Screamer Pipe

Passenger seat there only for mapping and the odd thrill ride

More closeups

Chris - We did not get the 4-Motion TDI here in the UK either, Mainland Europe only, so we converted a V6 4-Motion to TDI.

The 2 Intercoolers fit pretty well (see pics above!) with the bumper cut out. We hope to have it on the dyno very soon!

Lee - Arrange the shipping and I will do a straight swap for the yacht

This 1852 does not have a ported shroud, no need for it really

Will keep everyone updated!

Alcaid · Oct 22, 2012

Looks like a water cooled CHRA on that HX35, will it be sufficiently cooled with the water jacket plugged off like you have done it now?

ForestTDI · Oct 22, 2012

@Alcaid: Imho, there are 4 inlets/outlets (2 on each side) on that Holset, so we can see only one side with 2 of them.

fouckhest · Oct 22, 2012

oh snap! you let the cat out of the bag! looks great man!

cant wait to see some numbers!!!

Bruce GT3 · Oct 22, 2012

Mad, isn't it?

Ryan - can't wait for you to pull up to a set of lights and get asked "if you want your screen cleaned, mister?",..... Give him a rev and he'll disappear!

greengeeker · Oct 22, 2012

5 stars aren't enough!

Nice work.

ryanp · Oct 26, 2012

Thanks Guys, no need for the watercooling on the HX35

sardo_67 · Oct 26, 2012

Any videos of it running? I'd liked to see how fast it blacks out the windshield.

NewTdi · Oct 26, 2012

Yes, we need videos otherwise we'll think that you are a photoshop expert. Could you do a live feed when you go track racing?

Lurchalicious · Oct 27, 2012

holy hell.

I have the same question - why not start with a 4-motion golf? or are there so many parts available over there that it isnt a big deal to swap a 4-mo set up?

get a go pro HD camera and suction cup it to the hood - hit the strip.

ak47tdi · Oct 27, 2012

So much win, good work Ryan! Looking forward to vids and dynos!

*Too bad this kit wouldn't work for us in the States... We wouldn't be able to see where we're going under WOT haha!

AnniBooster · Oct 27, 2012

Ryan awesome build this popped up on ukmkivs last week. Glad we got the drag strip call right. Any info on the engine management system?

poxxxy · Dec 20, 2012

I'm in love...

I've wanted a tdi 4 motion for so long and considered picking up a LH EDM model.

Is there any information out there regarding fitting a 4 motion transmission system to a 2wd vehicle or would it be best to start from a v6 4motion as you have? your putting 3.4+ bar through it to? is this absolute pressure as I imagine so 2.4 relative? Or 4.4 absolute?

EDIT: I need to go clean up after myself, this was just too much.
