hi guys im currently running the 2l 16v abf engine in my mk2, what parts do i need to convert/add a turbo please, cheers
Components vary based on how powerful the engine is desired to be and are not limited to the ABF engine. Any NASP EA827 16v motor can be done. In general, you need: A suitable turbocharger A suitable exhaust manifold Turbo down pipe Means of lowering the compression ratio to reduce the likely hood of knock on pump fuel Evaluate the engine internal components for durability and uprate as necessary water air or air to air intercooler Boost run with appropriate pipe sizes Depending on boost run a different intake manifold arrangement Uprated injectors depending on increased fuel flow and or injection rail Fuel pump Uprated PCV system Engine control ECU and custom engine mapping. Suitable exhaust system Air filtration In 2006 the WOLF R debuted and since then several contributors have created DIY 16v turbo motors largely based on the same ideology. You can build a similar engine, to be durable and deliver your expectations, if you possess sufficient skill and resource. It is not a slap dash operation mind and if you are desperate to have a turbo'd MK2 Golf, then I suggest a complete 20vT conversion.
All my information originally came from the Wolf R built by Eddie. Since then, several others have been built. Gurds 16VT Sparrow 16VT Built by Stealth, but still good info. Nige 16VT There was another, but I can`t find it right now. Anyway, there should be enough information for you to get a good idea of the work involved, some pitfalls and the possible finished products
To the OP, Those examples shared from Nige's post are also routinely tracked and the net sum of engine, powertrain, suspension and driver, make for very rapid vehicles at the track. I should point out that sparrow's was built by Stealth Racing, where as Gurds and Nige are DIY efforts.
Cheers for your help guys, I'm going to go with the bam engine transplant and keep the abf for my nxt project, thanks a lot
cheers toyotec, this came from a friends mk2 that got rear end totalled, currently has forge rods, pistons, uprated cams, ported/pollished head and remapped plus whatever else hes had done that i cant remember due to my memmory more and more resembling a goldfish lol, unsure on power either
Varies on net sum of hardware but for a K04 type car 260-280bhp@6000rpm with near 300lbft or more at 3800-4200rpm. Usually run around 1.5bar or so. More with a better turbo, cams ETC.
the cams have been changed for kents, not sure on what lift/duration etc, the pistons have also been changed to wossners and i beam forge rods apparently
Cheers thanks a lot for yr help, 300bhp is more than enough for me considering I drive like a pensioner Monday to Saturday lol
That's what happens when you live in Yawnshire lol Keep us in the loop we like pictures of golfers hard work
Lol yawnshire lol, I wish I could take a back seat for ya change and relax but always seem to take too much on lol
