So Just Once Lets do something different - MK3 NA 20V ITBS 06X Lugtronic Content

[bonesaw]

Ran a new personal best today at Fall show and go. 12.58 @ 106.87. It was the exact same setup as my 12.75 @ Waterfest. Same E70 gas that i bought in april. Really happy with the car. Developed another trans problem but will get it all sorted out and back to the track.

For the bike throttles they are touchy unless you put on a progressive throttle cam from a stock tb or make a larger std one.

When we were running our GTL Scirocco with GSXR ITBs we just made a larger cam. It was actually pretty easy.

Just picked up and stripped my obd1 ABA block. Time to get on it. Mind if I bother you with questions?

[bonesaw]

ask away.

Awesome Ben! Let's put some real fuel in that thing and see what it will do in good air on a good track.

[bonesaw]

You mean this 6 month old e70 isn't helping? Lol

[docterelliott]

how are you weighing in at 2150? my mk2 golf weighed in at 2360

[Mark Morris]

The driver weighs about 80 pounds. you Ben!

[bonesaw]

I weigh 145. Car weighs 2110. I'd like to get some more weight out of it but don't really want to give up heat. Nothing is cut just removed unneeded weight.

[docterelliott]

what all did you take out to drop that much weight? i thought mk3 gti's weighd at least 2600 pounds.

[bonesaw]

Rebars door bars. Seats. Undercoating. Alum exhaust. Still has dash and heat. No cutting. 2110 is with just stock driver seat. 2150 with 2 stock seats. Still got some more weight to take out.

[need_a_VR6]

My mk3 in street trim (front half interior) w vr6 was 2450 w me at a solid 200lbs. Hes right where he should be. Getting to a class legal 2150 is going to take more work.

[bonesaw]

4 cyl is 1900lbs. I don't see how that is ever happening. Let alone the car being competitive without throwing a lot of money at it.

[need_a_VR6]

Not without cutting. Maybe with no dash and lexan, which would be legal. The only reason to run a 6cyl is for ballast.

[fourthchirpin]

your going to get bored and start replacing glass with plastic lol.

[bonesaw]

When I get bored ill slap a turbo on it. Lol.

No test rides.

I'm 160, there is no way I am only 15lbs heavier than you.

No test rides unless its on a completely straight road in broad day light with no woods around it.

Ben is taking into account his lead shoes.

Even then I would have flashbacks.

[bonesaw]

No pass seat so no problem.

I'm still shocked they make vans in a size 14.

[bonesaw]

13 haha. And it's tough. They are all emo hipster skinny shoes.

Haha, must be just as tough as finding your 28" waist 36" length jeans too.

[need_a_VR6]

I'm 36x28 too but the other way.

Nice build

Very similar specification to my engine, but I still have the 86,4 forged standard crank.

Did you have clearance problems with the pistons and head? I had to grind allot in the head.
According to Wössner this should not be necessary...

I use my engine for circuit racing and it has been running sweet for three seasons until now when the bolts for the triggerwheel sheared and came out through the block...

[bonesaw]

I had the same piston to head problem. I worked with wossner and got it all fixed. If someone buys a set now they will work without modification. You shoul try tacking trigger wheel on.

[Morty 7]

Nice, I have to buy a new set as one piston was damaged by the broken trigger wheel. However this means I have to build a new head as it was modified to fit the old piston design... I noticed you have oversized exhaust valves, I have oversized intake valves and standard sized exhaust valves.

[bonesaw]

I have stock sized intake and exhaust.

[Morty 7]

Sorry, must have mixed up with info from another build thread on the forum

[Mark Morris]

Ben ran a p.b. of 12.50 this past weekend and was #1 qualifier for 12.50 index. Went out third round due to a slight bump when getting on the 2-step and being staged deep. Post the pictures and vids Ben.

[bonesaw]

Cecco has all the pics and vids.
