  1. Had this fitted to my golf mark 4 1.6 16v as this model only had 1 cat on the exhaust. Should fit other models 2. Bought from Germany a few years ago and cost me around 450 pounds no longer need as ive converted my engine to a turbo which im also selling.
  2. http://img26.imageshack.us/i/30092010859.jpg http://img7.imageshack.us/i/30092010858.jpg Hi to all, i have for sale a 4 branch manifold for the vag 1.4 and 1.6 16v engines! Price is £90 if you can pick it up (im in Bristol) if not and u wish to arrange your own postage please get in touch!
  3. Hi im putting up for sale my golf/lupo/polo/bora/arosa 1.4/1.6 16v turbo kit! its a direct bolt on for the stock engine but will only be able to run around 4psi of boost when this turbo can reach easy 30psi, so i suggest a set of forged pistons! i have pics on request so please any offers or questions text me on 07591370531 or email me on alcapone179@hotmail.com No silly offers please i paid £2200 for this kit and dont expect the same but im not giving it away! Also for sale are a set of 1.6 16v h-beam forged rods (as in video below), 4 to 1 branch manifold, dta e48 standalone ecu, spare 16v cylinder head (stripped), spare cam carrier, a golf 4 sebring back box. Thanks Tony links to my youtube videos for those interested!
  4. Any joy John?? did u speak to them??
  5. Oh believe me ud know by now if it had spun but to be on the safe side id check with my own eyes if i was u! been through that to many times before people giving their word then **** goes boom!! I know John same here never got enough time in a day and when i have i feel to knackered to do anything.....And yes mods like these are never ending well at least if u have passion and patience like we do......many just like to jump in the car and drive. hope u speak to carillo soon to let me know what they say about this issue as its exactly where im stuck now.... could u do me a favour and ask them how much they would want for another set of rods considering they already have all necesary to make another set? just make out u need them for yourself. Im gonna be ordering my rods later tonight well at least ill be giving them the deposit and the ok to procede. Im not trying to give u any bad luck mate just dont want u to be as unlucky as me. What did u think about the water pump mod?? I didnt mention im also building a sump baffle did i? just to throw a little more oil up the cylinders. Will take pics when i get some time although i know it will cause a loss of a little power it will keep the engine safe. Tony.
  6. As promised... p.s. i didnt paint the impeller, it comes like that with special coating to prevent rust and believe it or not its metal instead of the crap plastic fitted as standard. All u need for this mod is an audi tt water pump from gsfparts and a front plate welded to it. U shouldnt have as much probs as me if your using a supercharger.....they dont tend to heat the engine as with a turbo. As for the stops for the bearings if i was u id drop the sump just to double check mate thats last thing u want is to have to take the crank out to get it machined and then go find overhauled bearing.....lol not a simple task. I say this because every company that gave me a quote after seeing my blue print the first thing they asked was "what about the bearing grooves??" every single 1! thats y im worried for u and me..... I yet have to get hold of a set of corrado g60 bearings to see if they do fit which would be a very quick fix even for u although u would have to take your rods out again to get the dremel or your local machine shop on them. I was looking at your pics more carefully and i noticed your using an oil/water heat exchanger....have u considered using an oil cooler instead? i had your setup before and i noticed the oil was getting a little hot so i took the exchanger off and replaced with oil cooler and things seemed to be a little better. Tony....
  7. Wow....rods look sick....ive had many qoutes cheapest was form china obviously....maxspeedingrods £380 delivered to 1200 from arrows. I guess your were around 1000 rite? yes i was talking about conrod bearings. This engine has cracked conrods and therefore dont need a stop or whetever u wanna call it to prevent them from spinning inside the rod. But with machined rods its a totally different story. Wonderfull engine by the way put a smile on my face now i know im not the only mad 1 on this planet...hahahaha Ill take few more pics now of my modified water pump gear which u should maybe consider installing. As for the 1400 internals i can only agree with u as i was pushing 170bhp from standard internals with another set of forged pistons i had until i noticed some idiot mechanic had turnt 1 of my injectors 90 degrees causing 1 piston to melt....ahhhhhh do it yourself if u want it done properly. Thanks.
  8. no not really....i think the keronite coating should be enough and as long as i keep compression ratios low i should be ok. I may no need 20psi of boost to achieve my set max power so until i pay another visit to steve i wont know Tony
  9. The slot is tiny only 2mm and to be honest i dont really like the idea but after reading that porsche were the first to introduce in there turbo engines air cooled then i thought twice.....
  10. Thanks mate....knowledge comes after many attempts but most important thing is never give up!!! Be easy for me to just bolt in a 1.8t engine but wheres the fun??
  11. Hi Casper nice to see im not the only nutter here....lol I agree the stardard internals are just no good for a forced induction conversion....ive cracked and melted many pistons over the years. Basically ill be using tesco 99 octane to keep engine internals cooler....i have also installed an audi tt water pump gear which is a few teeth smaller (i will upload pictures tonight) therefore running the engine cooler with also a modified spring in the thermostat (i cut it slightly) along with low temp radiator switch 82C from awesome gti. Il be running a compression of around 8.5:1 just like u but with a boost of around 20psi from the hybrid turbo i had custom built considering that the coating i have is capable of withstanding temps of 2000 degrees for short periods. . I managed to squeeze 150 bhp out of a stock bcb 1600 16v engine but as u probaby know this engine has a stock compression of 11.5:1 therefore it didnt last long lol....got more out a stock 1400 that has 10.5:1. To all the guys that think u can just bolt on a turbo please think twice......unless u have a good boost its pointless adding a turbo. So where did u manage to get hold of your rods? how much were they? how did u go about the bearing stops not being there?? im thinking of using corrado g60 bearing as they have them.
  12. like wise mate running dta engine management mapped by steve......check out my videos on youtube...tonybig78 cheers.
  13. Hi guys came across this website on the net by error but started reading some posts regarding turbo and supercharger conversions and found it so intresting i had to register...... Rite le me get to the point.....i have a golf 4 1600 16v bcb that originally started as a 1400 16v akq turbo converted. Youtube videos: Im currently rebuilding for a very high output engine approx 225bhp......here below are a few pics of the engine development including oil jet installation, forged pistons after coating, Big turbo installation (made by turbo technics), special high quality steel gudgeon pins (made by weymouth pins), engine painting etc. Block before jet installation. Again block before machining Oil jets before installation (adjustment or the squirt) Oil squirter installation Oil squirter installation Squiters..... Big Turbo......You like??? lol Hybrid Turbo Finished installation Forged pistons, coated with xylan skirts just to compensate for the extra heat. Again the pistons after coating with keronite New engine after painting. Cheap conrod oil squirter....not sure if im gonna use these or get forged (if anyone can suggest where to get at reasonable price) Another oil squiter test. My baby all shiny......and yes she is a r reg now 12 years old in october....... After some ptfe polish..... Will write more about it soon. Let me know what u guys think. Spent many hours of research on the net trying to find solutions to my problems.....DETONATION. I do have a few bits for sale too so if anyone is intereted i have a ported 1400 head, a set of 1400 shot peened conrods, a normally aspirated 4 branch manifold, may also have some lupo gti cams, piggy back ecus, and much more i have stocked after being through 5 engines 3 1400 and 2 1600 and having this car for now 12 years. I can also do many tricks with vag com like disable seat airbags for instalation of aftermarket seats or like in my case r32 leathers, adjust milage, chage speedo to or from miles to kilometres, adjust speedo for different size wheels, match new keys and ecus and much more..... To all, have a good weekend. (Hope you guys dont tell me to bugger off just coz i have a golf!! after all with this engine we are all in the same boat!) Tonybig78
