The TSR 2.0 20v conversion.

[Ant FR]

I was reading about this in last nights Golf Plus mag,

now i'm not sure if i was getting the point of it, but foe ngh on £4k they will change the head and turbo and a few other bits on a stndard 150 1.8T and push it to 240bhp using a K-03s, this just seemed a little pointless to me.

They then bragged about if they used the K-04 they could touch 300Bhp.

Now unless i have missed something,

whats the point of it being 2.0 then, surely there's no real gains over a 1.8T with turbo swap etc.

Just seemed a real waste of £5k

If the turbo can't flow any more air than 210g/s (or so) then you can strap it to whatever sized lump you want & it will still be a restriction

I didn't know TSR had a dyno capable of even recording power still.

aeg new beetle crank is 305 plus vat from the dealer. 2 weeks delivery from germany. 83mm custom pistons to suit from je, 3 1/2 week delivery time, 140$ per piston. rebore???? not a lot in reality. proper 2000+ccs. budget less than 1k probably. job done.

Jabba told me that the new cranks were weaker than the old ones and to steer clear of them!

yep, heard that too the very best were the early agus with forged cranks. put a post on vortex when id heard people here saying the standard crank was rated at 450 bhp. some reckoned theyd never heard of a broken crank yet in an 18t!!

Eurospec crank looks good.
lighter than 1781cc one too

I went to a skoda RR day last year and TSR roller are really old, only read up to about 220/230 bhp and no torque figure. They kept braking down as well so waste of time really.

Actually it was the Eurospec one I was originally asking about and they said to avoid it and that its weaker than the stock 1.8T crank!
