mk1 16v

[finemk1]

this is my 78, i am the second owner and is in the original paint it has a KR 16v running custom fuel delivery with Microtech LT8 EMS 2&1/4 full exsaust, H&R coilovers, Gti brakes with EBC pads, and heaps of extra little things of course....

Fantastic looking car mate, can you tell me a bit about the fuel system? i'd like to run an intake like yours to clean my engine bay up.

Nice. Very nice..

[finemk1]

can you tell me a bit about the fuel system?

well its a bit of a black sheep...... half was made in sydney somewhere and the rest was made at CVWC, it has (beleived to be) Mk3 injectors sitting in audi cups which screw in to the manifold, custom fuel rail usie 8.0mm FE hose with an external pump located under the spare tyre well, this set up was choosen because im running microtechLT8 as fuel managment, the intake pipe is just 3" steel tube with pod filter, air flow sensor and a commodore TB boot to join the pipe to the VW TB.... and a aftermarket TPS switch dodgyly mounted on the VW throttle body.. this my friends is a true bitza engine bay, but hey it works and does the job well

what a transformation mate! good to see it back on the road running again!

[Water Boy]

That is so fine... Good to see it going... Have you had the car on a dyno yet and if so how much power at the wheels?

Cheers James :)

[DubSteve]

Awesome looking car mate, well done another exellent looking dub.

[finemk1]

haha ha it might look ok on the outside but i can asure you it still has many problems..... expensive ones like i think my cam shafts are bent just enough from befor when i lost a valve it leaks oil from the seal now, its very noticable at idle that the cam pully is out of balance...... and its leaking from the crankshaft seal to i beleive.. engine has to comeout again.....hahahaha the lessons we learn on the way.

[alex g]
