Guydo's 2004 vw cup mk2 Engine rebuilt by Hotgolf

Just the sump. I was going to have baffles welded into it, but the holes didnt line up properly.
I have a windage tray too. Will use the ally abf one for now until a shrick one comes up.
Just need to get my car on the road again asap. Will take some time out from work over the next couple of weeks and get on with it. Respray might have to wait til winter.

 

So will you be taking it round silverstone when it's ready?

 

I will probably end up there. My car will primarily be for road use, with the odd track day with this club. Truth be told though, ive never been on a track, so should be interesting lol
I will also take it to santapod, its only 5 min away from me.
Will be interesting to meet some of the members too.

 

So even though my sump is already baffled I like Chris's design so I'm using his template but going to tweek it a bit with trap doors like the seat sump and bend the top of the left baffle to divert the oil dropped from my windage tray a bit like Nige has done .
Just got started and have been busy at home and work so progress will be slow but here's a couple of pics so farlol

Cleaned spare sump pics of existing sump are further up the page.
Outside


Inside


Cardboard template cut from Chris's . When printed Chris's seems a bit small , but I'm also going to do the two side angled baffles as one piece slotted in. If I've got any oil pump clearance issues later will heat an shape out of the way . Not sure if I'll just mig it all or try a bit of tig welding .

Template in the sump


That's it for now will try to do some more soon . Any comments are welcome

 

Would the oil not soften the cardboard?








lol lol Sorry, couldn't resist

The car looks great in the flesh and thanks very very much for the gearbox

 

So decide that the cardboard won't be upto the job and need to make something a bit tougher lol IAN

Here's a load of pics of what I've been doing this afternoon in the sunlol work is surprisingly calm todaylol

Cleaning and shaping parts

Test fitting and tac

Welding together



Welding in place



Trying to show the tweek I made to Chris's design copying Nige's idea

That's it for the mo going to make some plastic oil gates

 

So all is going welllol oil gates being fitted
Test fit










So should I use nylock nuts or weld regular nuts?

 

I would weld the nuts as a minimum. Last thing you want is one coming off!

 

Yes will put washers and leave slightly loose so oil can move ok till plastic flaps warm up and work properly

That's tomorrow's job

 

Nige... I can't believe your not commenting on that welding lol

 

Yes it almost perfect like melol

Will have to take a look at your welding smithy

I was rushing and it inside the engine got super penetration just not to glamorous lol

What paint should I use? White two pack ok?

 

I can't really talk... Never welded.

 

You a rich city banker that pays other people to do the grunt worklol

 

Ha ha. No. Although I did have someone do my welding for the cage. Didn't want that to be my first go and not had need to try since. One day I'll give it a go. I'll be sure to get your approval when I do lol

 

I suppose that's one of the advantages of having a mk3 there newer and a lot more rot proof if looked afterlol

 

Just finished baffling my spare sump but!!! It's well heavy think the plate I used might be a bit of overkill lol

Is there a standard golf aluminium sump that will fit a KR engine? I can just make aluminium baffled sump then

Going to post pics when uploaded to photo bucket got some interior shots too and I'm preparing myself for some sticklol
But there's no point in giving it if you can't take it is there?lol

 

So some more pics smithy guess what ? I'm loving my car more and more all the time
Buying a race prepped car is the best decision I've madelol look at the floor through the mess



No sound proofing here to remove already been donelol


Can't say my screws ant straight there's none in so plate hanging offlol





Sump ready to go on as long as oil pump is clear of baffles may need a final trim to fit


Old race seat I couldn't fit in it as I'm 6'3" with child bearing hipslol





That's it for now got get some hydraulic pipes for one of my flt'slol

 

You need to get minting mate lol OCD attack. Ahhhhh

Anyway the fun is in making your car I think

 

Don't do mint do goooood timelol

 

Why do you have a hole cut in your floor under your pedals, are you a flintstone?
