Techie's MK2 Golf

[techie]

Formerly a 1988 MK2 Golf GTi 8v, now running something with a little more 'poke'. As far as I know it was converted sometime ago. A friend of mine bought it from a guy on PistonHeads but it since stopped running and after a busted clutch cable had been laid up for six months. I bought it from my friend with a view to getting it back on the road. Oddities on the car include a fully working a/c system and cruise control, along with PAS and RS Turbo Recaro seats. I sorted the running issue, after reparing some of the wiring to the Emerald M3DK ECU she roared into life, what a noise. Just the clutch and brakes to sort out and i'll see about getting her back on the road.

And the best bit...

A little video after we fired it up for the first time..

A little way to go yet but i'm a very happy chap indeed!

glad you fixed the wiring

you need to be a bit more consistant with your reg plate editing

 

[techie]

Why though? Its a different plate. The one that is currently on the car is an Irish plate, they dont match.

perhaps a "D and an O" in the first pic would suit you mark?

and i'll wager not standard either

 

[techie]

As far as I know bar the management and adjustable boost the engine itself is standard bar no cat on the exhaust.

 

[WeeJase]

programmable ecu and still standard
so just how much was this little gem ross?it looks superb.

 

[techie]

The programmable ECU is basically used to make the transplant easier I think. But im not sure as yet how it is set up. Been told that 260-270 wont be a problem with this management.

Cost?

£1500.

Real nice motor and at a bargin price

£1500

as far as i have read,stand alone ecu is used so you can get passed the imobiliser /clocks/locks etc from the donar car.this is also why its running without a MAF.
standard clocks/keys etc ?i'll give you 1600 quid for it

 

[techie]

Yeah its using a MAP sensor instead of the MAF. Good think is I have the serial cable and software and a whacking great manual for the management. Ignition, fueling and boost can all be adjusted so should be able to up the power a bit when its all working ok.

 

[m0rk]

hopefully if there's a login code, you have it

 

[techie]

Its in the folder

 

[chungster]

That is a defo bargain!
