First of all shoutout to jimbote and Trevor Morris on helping me with this build!
After several hours of set back we got this alh bhw hybrid going!
some issues:
-didn't realize there wasn't a hole for large roller had to tap and drill it
-pd150 tip kit had issues with fitment had to notch the bracket to the intake manifold
-had bhw oil pan all sealed but realized it was too long to fit my golf especially the skid plate. Had to swap alh pan and pickup tube. Originally had bhw pan with 1.8t pickup tube
-car was not starting. it would crank, start, then die. Found out that it was a vacuum line that was shutting the asv thus killing the engine (help?)
- found a leak on 3rd injector at the T so we replaced it.
vnt 17 vs gtd1756vrk
But after 3 days it is finally finished!
setup:
gtd1756vrk
.260 injectors from xman
stage 2 frank06 cam
ported head and upgraded lifters
4 bar map
pd150 intake manifold
pd150 head bolts
pd150 tip kit
smic
bhw oil cooler
alh oil pump with brm chain and sprocket upgrade
upgraded upper and lower intercooler
3 inch exhaust
aeroexhaust xl (and still sounds mean)
tune from burpod
stage 3 valair clutch (chatter even with 21lb flywheel and heavier clutch feel)
future:
in-lift pump, just need wiring.
the only thing that bothers me is the new clutch I get grinding in reverse but goes away when going to 1st then reverse. It did not do this before. ***fixed it by aligning shift linkages 3/6***
other than getting used to clutch, it feels pretty good to ride
