2036cc ABF 83.5mm 16V MS1 V3 & Jenvey 45mm DTH 200bhp + Project

I was always told varying revs and load, but not to labour it, ie high gear low revs

50 miles of run in, oil change than cane it!

 

Mr H, what happens with the internal trigger wheels? Do they just break up at high revs?

 

oh yes - mad20V's motor was damaged by one coming loose and there are others where this has happened also - not a good idea at all on anything spinning faster than stock

 

Hmm, wheel failure, or bolt?

 

bolts fail

 

They explode due to fatigue (16v vauxhall's do the same) and make a bid for freedom through the side of the block.

 

Well i should have been abit more specific,

Up the A1 @ 50MPH but accelerating upto 4k and back down to 3k to get the rings bedded in.

Type of Oil to run in with too is always a good topic too.

Any more opions on running would be good, i was speaking to someone who was using total seal rings and they say you have to cane it to get them bedded in !

Anyway just dropped the block off for the 83.5mm re-bore 42 plus vat. pick it up next week the new pistons are going to be 2 weeks delivery JE are made to order from Integrated engineering, they have done me a good price too.(420)

And as for the internal trigger wheel ! i'm going to leave that off and use an external 36-1 and us an EDIS Unit for the ignition.

 

im surprised that they are prepared to bore the block with the new pistons to hand. both times i have a block bored the insisted on having the pistons.

 

Old 2.0L 16V Taken out to strip tomorrow nite and take everything off to use on the 2.1L 16V.
Hard work taking an engine out on your own in the rain.


and into the workshop ready to strip

Need to get the flywheel lightened anybody know who does them arround Yorkshire ? Can't get in touch with HotGolf

 

Engine looks Clean.Thinking of lightening my own flywheel. Have lathes at work. Whats the ideal/safe weight to have them on an ABF? I assume it would have to be balance afterwards.

 

It is but the Cranks ****ed in this one, i have a spare standard crank and will re-build this engine when i've finished the other.

Can't remember from memory how light for the flywheel but you can have the weight.

 

Stripped the old Block tonite

The big end bearing had gone on No 2 Piston.

Ordered the main bearings from VW Today don't think the Parts department knew what they were ordering.

026198491 Main bearings 4 sets

026198421 Thrust Washers & Bearings 1 set

 

Update - Just waiting for everything delivering now.

But i have also been getting everthing together for the injetion & ignition.

Now have everything detailed below, except i'm using Microsquirt not the DTA Shown.


Sent all the kit off for the wiring loom to be made up and base MAP put on. If funds allow may even go straight for 45mm DTH Jenvey's got a price of Badger but due to crank purchase run out of pocket money.

 

ABF Block just collected from Hindles @ Bradford Engine re-man co.

83.5mm Bore

 

Yummy...

 

Just ordered the Badger5 45mm DTH Throttle body set up from Bill.

So the Injection set - up will be

Microsquirt
Badger5 45mm DTH Throttle body set up.

 

Ooooooh, i'm looking forward to see this one complete!

Bwaaaarp......

I miss my itb-ed valver badly[:^(]

 

Sambo it was load before !!

Think a new exhaust maybe on the cards to the old ones looking abit tired.

 

Looking forward to seeing this one when its built !

 

I had Bill's old jetta 2008cc on itb's. It sounded amazing, im missing the noise too.

This will be a great conversion
