pappers 50 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Got the downpipe for 12 and 24v from my 2 donors. Not wanting lightened flywheel, using standard. Stealth are doing my ECU work yes. Already primed. Loom guy busy till Sept. Link to post Share on other sites
pappers 50 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 My 24v dp has the lambdas in with wiring and plugs. Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Will I need all 4 lambdas when I do my swap? I'm using the 12v engine loom and ecu as mk3highline has. I was just gonna cut the 24v down pipe and mate it to the 12v down pipe Link to post Share on other sites
pappers 50 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Id give stealth a ring. I'm using mk4 management so might as well use the 4 as theyre there anyway, not really about needing them. I guess it would map better as has more info from lambdas...? Partial guess there. VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites

pappers 50 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I just became a paid member as figured im going to ask a lot more q's...I noticed a discount benefit with Vibra Tech, which brings me to ask what engine mounts are you all running? Id rather be on the stiffer end of half way between but not competition. Any recommendations/warnings? Link to post Share on other sites

pappers 50 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Not had much time lately but swapped flywheels today from 24 to12v and got engine mounts on. Got a clutch on its way too so hopefully have gearbox fitted up soon. daveyboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
pappers 50 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Errmm, havent had much free time lately but getting back on it now. Loom is going off to be done soon so that will be a major step forward. Got a Sachs clutch on now & just ordered some of the most expensive bolts in the world from VW to mate the box back onto block.Changed crack pipe and thermostat in the last 2 months, real progress.

pappers 50 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hi Daveyboy. Honestly not got much done. Looms away now being done. Bit of a wait but will be done properly. When the weathers a bit warmer I can get back to the Moto commute and take the golf off the road. Everything parts wise in the garage, just the usual busy busy. I'm going to say by end of March it'll be under way. 👷 VR6Pete and daveyboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites
pappers 50 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Its begun...finally. The rear beam bushes completely went on friday so theres the excuse to take it off the road. Started on Sunday morning and have the monster of a 1.8 engine and box ready to pull out except releasing the cable clutch...which i might just cut to save the headache of wasted life spent in a mk3 pedal box. Anyway happy to have started. Link to post Share on other sites
pappers 50 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Looms came back last week from rubjonny on clubgti. Really nice tidy work he's done on the mk3/4 loom. 24v is ready to go in. Maybe this weekend if it ain't still raining. Bealieboy and daveyboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites
pappers 50 Posted September 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Pretty much all done over the bank holiday. All went back in pretty nicely. Fabbed the pedal box mod.
