Re: New VW Project
 

we should hmt him a kit, save him 1500 dollars...

Re: New VW Project
 

first thing.....get rid of the ABA trans, get one from a 16V passat, i think the code is 4K
second, swap in a 1.8t...more power and prob cost less

Re: New VW Project
 

....VW's are nothing to mess with.


serisouly, i know a guy makin about 400hp, N/A and will soon be makin a 400hp turbo vw. BTW, this motor is going into a 700# rail buggy (aka, dune buggy, but in south carolina there are no dunes, so they call them rail buggies)
it should be pretty serious. his main concern hes messin with now, how to hook it all up to get the power to the ground. ;)

to bad i will probably never see it. :-\

vwforum, vwvortex, eiptuning, vwturbo

come on now think its not hard to find a lotta stuff easily online...and those are sites i just know off the top of my head too i'm sure u can pull even more off of a google search

Re: New VW Project
 

Yeah I have checked all those. I have started checking into this. I really dont have the time to do all the research and he really doesn't know enough about it yet. I think this is going to be a back burner project.

Josh that would be one hell of an HMT NE install! None of us would know ---- about it!

Re: New VW Project
 

just buy a r32 is it? and be done :P

Re: New VW Project
 

It's not that easy to make power in a 2.0 VW but it is possible. The main thing is working the head over really good. You have to remember that VW's suffer from air starvation. I've seen 2.0's hit 13s even 12s.
Let me know if you need anymore info or help. My first car was a 2.0 Jetta.

i've seen guys make 135-145Whp N/A w/ a digifuck counter flow head and ABA block.
remember, big valves are your friend

Re: New VW Project
 

umm...4k tranny would be from a 84 GTI... 16v Passat's had "02A" code trannies in them. but to swap that in you would need the pedel assy, clutch master and slave w/lines, shift box and cables....there is probly more. it would diff be a good idea to do if you plan on making some real power (along with a Peloquin/Quafie diff)...

i got an 02A and 02J for sale if anyone needs one ;)

1.8T swap wouldnt be a bad idea either...
