matty.vrt 120 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 what gearbox is the 02q out of Link to post Share on other sites
MaidenVR6 26 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Its a newer version of the 02M. MK5 R32 and so on... Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Yep /\It has internal modifications to improve the shift quality and has no speedo drive. And the mounting bracket is different, otherwise it's the same, LOL!I will probably just buy an 02M FWD casing and FWD CV flange from VW and make a decent FWD install out of it. Buying a used 02M 4WD trans and the FWD casing is still cheaper than importing a FWD 6 cyl O2M from the states!!Or I could just hook up a hall sensor to the CV bolts and just use it as it is with a standalone Speedo (or a GPS speedo / Satnav screen) since I don't use Motronic anymore :-) Link to post Share on other sites
AJmk2 2 Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Good to see a project being done properly makes me want to sort my car out! Look forward to seeing some new dyno charts! Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted July 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 All done. Pretty straight forward to install and noise wise, it's about the same as an old K Jet MK1 or MK2 that's got a tired pump. Can't hear it all when cruising, just a buzz/whine at idle. Loads quieter than the normal mounting method :-) Link to post Share on other sites
Drizz 0 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Wow! i dont have time to read it all tonight, but i certainly will soon.

FishWick 21 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Thanks mate, very nice and kind of you to say so :-)I still love it. I don't think I'll ever tire of a boosted VW :-) Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Only saying how it is and you can never tire of boost lol Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hi,I've been reading and admiring your install for a while now, and well done!! I wuld want day like to do something like this, just that while I have a fair understanding of an engine, I'n not 100% on things like modifying and adding things onto a standard engine..This really doesnt really have anything to do with this thread, but I was wondering where I could gain good facutal info on modifying installs and such.. i only have experince in fixing my crappy car atm... Thanks for any help and great job!! 8-) Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 HiThanks mate It's just a case of buying the bits and plonking them on. OK there's a bit more involvement with the mapping side of things but there are a few companies around that can help with that!If you want to learn some general boost knowledge, I really like this site - http://www.max-boost.co.uk/max-boost/It's not VW specific but the guy knows his stuff and talks at a level we can understand, it's well worth a read if you find the time!

FishWick 21 Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Next on the list is to fit these 550cc Bosch EV14 injectors. Easily the best injectors on the market today.....and here's why. They atomise right off the tip for a super fine spray :-)And then Racelogic traction control. After last year's winter, it's really needed!! :-) Thanks to Vince we got 10% off! Link to post Share on other sites
dman78 1 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 you've just answered my question on what injectors i should get,i've been looking around at various sizes and just saw these on fivemotorsport,where did you get yours from and whats the damage? Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted October 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 http://www.sprayitracing.com/52lb%20Bosch%20EV14%20High%20Impedance.htmJust bear in mind that I use a standalone and can use any injector. I have no idea how good or bad these will run on standard Motronic. Link to post Share on other sites
matty.vrt 120 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Im sure vw use low impendance injectors so if you fit those injectors the then the injector map will be way out. Link to post Share on other sites

FishWick 21 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Im sure vw use low impendance injectors so if you fit those injectors the then the injector map will be way out.They use and have always used high impedance injectors. No one use low impeadance anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
sharky_70 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Made a bit more progress....Downpipe's coming together. This is the shape you're aiming for with the ATP. From the top' date=' I used a tight 90, 30 degree section, then a 90 degree and finally a 3" Ilok flex. All from Jetex.[img']http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x2/kevhaywire/ATP_downpipe1.jpgKev, i know its an AGE ago... but is that definately 90, 30 then another 90? last piece looks too shallow, maybe a 60?

FishWick 21 Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Hi mate, soz for the delay, been busy! Can't see the pics as I'm at work but it'll be a tight 90, 30 then a normal 90. Tight 90 is 2 halves welded together and the normal 90 is mandrel bend. Link to post Share on other sites
