nice... lookin forward to seein it finished.

I'd say 180-200bhp to be safe on 7-8psi?

You running stock internals? What other mods you done to aim for that figure?

goirgio it has forged pistons

overbored block, port n polished head

8:5:1 compression ration

hydraluic clutch and lupo gti 6 speed box

recirc valve

custom decat exhaust with deisel tailpipe

induction

front mount intercooler

and the engine has been fully rebuilt new gaskets etc

so should be good for 200 horses matey

thanks for all comments cant wait to drive the animal

Lupo gti box? Harv mate, you got msn or anything I have some idea's I wanna chat about :)

cheeky beggar!

Dude, this is one sick project!!

cant wait to see it running!!

165s on 8j gone be crazy tryin to hold grip!!

wack on some 185/45s and you'll have a great stretch, and more chance of grip!!!

what colour is it going?!

I think you should have added rods to that spec list too. OEM ones are made of chockolate

pretty sure it has rods but don't quote me on that. 165/50 on an 8" will be alright, my mate alex runs them all round on his 200+bhp mk1 g60!

Very much liking the sound of the 16v turbo'd engine on Megasquirt and the Lupo 6 speed box.

Shame it all had to go down hill with chrome wheels, loads of speakers and that bonnet brow thing.

yeah, alex runs them, but still, i would think grip is slightly lacking with those!!

suppose its Harv's car n he'll do as he likes!!

just the 2 sides of the coin!

Looks sick and should be awesome once the engine is up and running!

Shame it all had to go down hill with chrome wheels, loads of speakers and that bonnet brow thing.

What the hell is wrong with you ?

haha you know what i mean mate

can i ask how you got the lupo gti box to fit??? big job???

everyone I've ever asked on here about that box they just say it doesnt fit...

a step by step process would be awesome lol

Needs to change the clutch to the hydraulic clutch, pedal box etc. It does it fit, but is a really tight fit! Just try sourcing a 6peed GTI box!

AVIT in slough did it there amazin lads down there .......i suggested it they said they would make it fit and have done so

sory i could be of anymore help mate

however i knw its nt just the box your changing

harv

Immense effort and top work!

i duno how many times I've seen that question answered with a no it doesnt fit which isnt very helpful tbo... might have to look into it but i know what you mean TimW dont see many for sale...

and if u dont mind me asking harv amdtechnik what did they charge to fit ???

thank you very much cjwardy means alot

and to think I'm still only 19 ....i just loves cars in general

erm mate they charged quite a bit in total cos they did all the intercooler and boost pipes etc after we wired the ecu

its a pretty custom job

harv

fair enough mate... cant wait to see it finished tis an awesome looking car!
