Hey guys so I’m on my way with my long awaited project that Iv wanted to do for some time now. The car that is getting the diesel treatment is a 1990 Golf GTT16v. I got the car in July and since been stripping and cleaning it getting it all ready. Couple of days ago I received a delivery of a crashed 1999 Golf tdi 110bhp engine ahf with 69k miles on the clock. Ill let pictures do most of the talking:
When I got the A2 golf:
The inside was a mess. I was told a mouse has spent some of its life in there behind the clocks cluster so that’s why it’s bit of a mess from when they sent him out of there...
The 1.8 16v engine was already out when I got the car as its timing belt was gone and I didn’t need it anyway or the box...
After days of cutting compound, swirl remover and polish..
All the old electrics are out in favour of most A4 wiring Ill see how much I can use and how much A2 loom will be needed. The A4 clocks will be used along with MFA.
Engine bay ready for the 1.9 power plant..
VNT20 turbo will be used on a 1.9TD manifold with adapter
I bought this intercooler brand new for very little money. It looks very nice and has on metal end tank (other one is plastic) the size is perfect and looks like mounting it isn’t going to be a big problem. I hope it does a good job of cooling...
I will try use this lifter pump that was in the tank already (which lifts the fuel for the main pump under the car) as it has the sender already on it (kind of like what kerma did with the pd pump)...
Nice restricted exhaust is going to be replaced by a straight pipe (really want to side exit but will see what happens)..
The donor car...
I have not yet started ripping stuff out the A4 as Iv been working and its Edition38 VW show this weekend here in the UK so hopefully Ill get started next week and post some more pics.
What does everyone think? I hope to get this project done soon as I have to go to university end of September and got to work a lot at the same time so it will slow down after that.
Cheers, Anton.
