veedubdude Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Just as an add-on; some other guys didnt realise the 149.1 BHP is at the wheels, not the flywheel like the figures from VW.So comparatively, using an estimate of 15% power loss through the transmission (which it is impossible to get accurate unless you physically remove the engine and bolt it to a dyno) she is running around the 171 BHP mark compared to VWs standard figures as quoted on the cars when new. Personally I'm extremely chuffed with this considering the original lupo GTi engine is only 125BHP!Ill add a pic of the dyno graph when I eventually take a pic of it!

veedubdude Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I dont know exactly, but it sounded like most of the sets were already sold, so if you're interested Id get onto them ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarrier Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 how much have u paid for 46bhp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veedubdude Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I dont know the exact cost, as I rebuilt the engine down to every last bolt with brand new VW bits and pieces, but the cost of mods onto the original GTi engine was around the £1.5k mark!

CasperGTI Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Dude it looked the part when you came round a few weeks back. I love the simplicity of the interior, its mint!Impressed with the increase you got from the engine. Thats a good rebuild for you!Do you have the part number off hand for the ARP bottom end bolts? i still need to get mine and im off to pick up my bottom end from my workshop on tuesday so i can pick them up if there in stock.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veedubdude Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Cheers bud! I cannot wait to see yours on the road and what it produces! If I get a chance would love to have a ride in it when its finished! I cant remember the part number for the rod bolts, but they're for a Ford CVH engine. Let me have a look through my photos and see if I can spot the exact number for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I think there an M10 with 1.5 pitch and a 65mm shank. can you confirm as ive got some of these on order, but if there wrong then ill get them swapped!They only come in 12 point stainless steel bolts? part number is 772-1013??John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veedubdude Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) I honestly cant remember the spec dude, and the only photo Ive got the old crank is covering the part number, lol!They are 100% definitely the same as the Ford CVH big end bolts though! They're still listed on page 1 of this build, as I got the info from blackrat! Edited March 14, 2009 by veedubdude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Im not after the rod bolts matey. Did you not change the bolts on the end caps?Im looking in to it, and if i changed the bolts, i might need to get the block line honed??John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veedubdude Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Sorry bud Im in a world of my own!I just used the standard lupo GTi bolts, but nice new ones from VW. I was in a rush to get the engine back together and couldnt find the right crank pedestal bolts from ARP. I was planning on replacing them with ARP when I dropped the sump to put the turbo inlet flange into it! And since then Ive completely forgotten about them... lol!Why will you have to have the block honed because of bottom end ARP bolts? If you find the part number for them then pass them onto me! I was thinking if you end up losing the GTi ECU and going standalone, give me a PM, as I may need one at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Already posted the part number above mate, only one i can find, it comes in a 12 poing SS bolt though - but i think ill just get a new VW set as the OEM bolts are fairly chunky anyhow.Im told because when you change the bolts, the clamping force through using a different material bolt and different torque figure can change the cap profile so they need to be line honed in situPersonally when the end cap meets the face in the block i cant see it moving. But from reading about, there seems to be quite a bit about getting it line honed when going to ARP bolts.I dont need ARP rod bolts... ive got carrillio CARR bolts john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalai97 Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Hi there I'm planing to fit a turbo on my 1.6 16V MK4 Golf. In your opinion i was wondering if its a good idea and should i use the same parts you used on your project. Plus do you if there is a way to convertine to AWD?

As it has the same chassis as a Audi TT, I'd look in that direction for parts but seems a lot of work for limited advantage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Use a 4mo chassis. Straight away, instant 4wd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
