1993 Gol 1846cc turbo intercooled 8 valves 283whp w/fueltech FT450
Welcome to my project! My name is Leonardo, I live in Uruguay and this is my new project that I want to share with you guys! I'm the proud owner of this 1993 Gol GL 1.8 with a ea827 engine, just like alot of vw mk1/2/3 and some audis 80 100 5000 etc
Some pictures of the car before the new project. This ones are from 2016 from a VW meet
Some stuff that can't be seen easily
Here's the list of parts going into this project, I got a used stock block with documentation that didn't run in 17 years..
Proyect 1846cc
Block: Stock ea827 bored to 82.55 from 81mm
Pistons: Iasa Forjed 82.5mm
Rods: Scat 144mm (if you don't know this brand these are also forjed)
Pin: SPAturbo 20mm good for up to 1000hp
Crankshaft: Golf 1.8 Forjed with 8 counterweights (86,4mm)
Flywheel: Stock from a Gol 1.6 Diesel (these are a bit heavy but give great inertia)
Cylinder Head: Stock from Gol mk1
Springs: Double Springs from Ancona for solid lifters, good for 7500rpm
Camshaft: 049G Gol Gts (specs: adm 260º exhaust 266º / Lift adm 10,3 exhaust 10,8 / LC 110º / 44º crossover) Very used in turbo gols in Uruguay, Brasil and Argentina
Valves: adm/esc Stock Mahle adm 38mm exhaust 33mm
Conducts were polish and work to make them flow better (this was DIY there will be pics)
Wastegate MCS good for boost control
Boost Control from MS2 using the N75 selenoid
Turbine Housing .60 Master Power modified at home to fit a Garret Airresearch old turbo .63/.38, after the mods its .63/.60 with a 49mm rotor
Ebay Fuel pressure regulator (also have the stock one with the stock fuel ramp)
Aluminium fuel ramp
Bosch 044 Fuel pump, 200lph at 5bar (very nice)
SPA 60-2 Trigger wheel for EDIS
Bosch Coil for Vectra 3 cables (I think you guys may know it as the chevrolet vectra/astra or vauxhall)
Rotation sensor for Fiat Uno MTE Thompson
Headbolts Forjed from SPAturbo good for up to 600hp
Now to the pictures! Taking apart the old engine to clean up and allow me to work easier
The old engine was poorly build by a mechanic the first time I turbo charged the car, some of the problems I found was, the rods were hitting the pistons inside chewing material and making later force generating oil vent, bad compression and the space between cylinders and pistons became 0.9mm in some cylinders others 0.7, when 0.6 was the max allowed by piston manufacturer.. this is why I decided to build a new engine mostly by myself. Ended up buying an used engine to start from scratch

Arriving of the "new" old engine
Golf Crank when bought
After a mild clean up to head to the shop
More and more arriving, blow off, rods, inox filter, forjed screws for the flywheel, aluminium fuel ramp
Edis "kit", I picked each part individualy thinking it could work out very well with ms2,wasted spark coil, tooth wheel 60-2, rotation sensor
Waste gate, forjed head bolts, waste gate to boost control line
Pistons and pins
Oil spacer for oil cooler (still need the cooler and lines, probably will be done in step 2 of the project)
Springs
Catch tank made by one of my wife's cousings, very helpful 1/2inc tubing or 12.5mm
Oil vapor catch tank
Injectores, fuel pump support
Installing the MS2 in the car
Fuse box caos, I will try to fix it or do my best (probably this summer Jan-March)
MS2 Almost working (first install now I will have to re do some of the wiring)
14 inch wheels from stock Saveiro mk2-3 4x100
Time for the blueprint of the head, lucky me I have 2 heads exactly the same thanks to the old engine that came complete, so I could make some mystakes on the process since I never did this before. Some tools for the jobs, thanks jegs! Eastwood carbide bids, and lots of sanding rolls
After sending it to the shop
Turbos, my garret on the left(.63/.38), my friends master power on the righ (.42/.60)
the making of frankestein
Back from the shop after balacing
