Well as it says, Crossflowed 8v head, Pack D spec, Schrick valves, springs, solid lifters, vernier pulley, and 304 cam should be interesting when i get it, cant wait Edited by: oakgreen88
already sorting out badger-bill to get me some throttle bodies with DTA management, but that will be a little way off yet, slight cash flow problem now!
andrew - shut up! how many vr6 mk2 golfs are there about? - Sh@t loads, how many 2l 8v on throttle bodies are there about? - i know of 1 other! i want to be different! i could have easily gone with a 20vt from designa dubs for similar sort of money im going to be spending, worth it i ask myself?? well we'll see! i certainly hope so!
summer 2005 most prob! god i dont know, as soon as hopefully, had the block sat in my room for over 2 months now, head wont be ready for another month, then im on holiday, then i gotta afford the throttle bodies and management, and then fit all so....
my mates nova on throttle bodies is using the omex management, is good but i reckon DTA is more user friendly, and more programable, at the end of the day, i think its down to "you get wot u pay for" the more you can afford the better really, i havent looked much into the management side of things at the moment cos i know its a long way off, (DTA is what ive been recommended by several sources for my application) but let me know what you think about the omex management would be interested!
Well done Oakgreen Just to encourage you to purchase those TB's from Bill I saw a car being built last year at TSR with the same spec engine ie 2 litre 8v Pack D crossflow head solid lifter with Bill's TB's and DTA set up All I can say is 'devastingly' quick and a torque monster Much quicker than mine and it produced more or less the same BHP as mine but a shed load more torque lower and mid range Best 8V I've ever seen Well worth speaking to Graham at TSR........get his number from Neil or speak to Bill......he supplied the TB's The guy who owns the car is in the services in Germany.

ianb, thats was the other 8v crossflow on tbs ive ever seen, saw it at tsr once at rr day, it was amazing! its apparently up for sale now as he's bought an audi s2, i cant wait to get everything put it all together!
well it wasnt cheap but TSR did do me a really good deal on the complete package, bearing in mind the head is packD spec outright purchase, with schrick solid cam kit(lifters,springs,cam etcetc) and with vernier pulley, it was into 4 figures, but am getting an awful lot for my money, cant really say, because they may not give same discount to anyone else, also you have to remember i will be bringing them alot of business, buying badger-bills throttle bodies through them and also will be getting a recon-box with quaiffe ATB
