Golf Mk1 2.0L 8v Engine Swap - Pt.6: Power Runs On The Dyno!

[@memphis5220]

Oops made a mistake, it is ofcourse part 6

Where is the mini Cooper

[@peterfranklinjosephkoeras9555]

hi Memphis I am from South Africa. love your golf. I also have a golf Mk1 which i converted from a 1300 to a 2l 8v . But now my external fuel pump makes a loud humming and knocking noises when I drive . Any advice on how to fix it?

[@1959Berre]

It is good to see how you praise your old school and its teachers. There is something nostalgic about it. At my age, entering the holy grounds of the place where I spent a significant part of my youth makes me rather emotional. In 20 or more years you will probable feel the same way.

[@KnightHunterStudios]

The Golf is nearing completion, congrats on how far she's come Memphis! Cannot wait to see how the E28 turns out as well!

[@miketeeveedub5779]

Friend: "Why are looking through your carbs like a binocular?" Memphis - "Looking for more power!" :) Love how the car chirped the tires in 2nd gear! As for a camshaft change - don't go too crazy. A hotter cam moves the power range further up the rev range. You'll make more power, but it won't be there off-idle (1500-2500 rpm) where you do 95% of your driving. It will be sluggish up to the point when it "gets on the cam". Somewhere around a 270 degree cam with .430" to .450" valve lift will be ideal. Keep up the great content! Cheers from Canada!

Zo weer genoten van een voor mij zeer ingewikkelde materie ! Maar na al die techniek tekst en uitleg was het een groot plezier de Golf over de straat te zien racen ! En dat was toch het uiteindelijk doel van de Dyno proof en het verder afstellen van de motor. Hoewel ik er geen snars van begreep was het toch interessant te zien hoe door middel van afstelling het optimale uit de motor te halen. Met name om met de stroboscooplamp iets af te lezen was wel het hoogtepunt in het gehele abracadabra verhaal !'Fijn nu deze auto weer optimaal functioneert met de nieuwe motor en wens je er ontzettend veel plezier ermee !! Hoop weer snel een episode te zien en dit ditmaal met en over de BMW !! Tot dan !

[@pc2908]

She sounds awesome! In my opinion, one of your greatest accomplishments is being humble. You could have edited out the fails, but you admitted faults. That’s rare on these types of videos. I appreciate your honesty. Great build man!!

[@paulschmolke188]

Impressive stuff all around. Great detail work on the carbs and timing. I’m knocked over by the schools facility. I’ll bet it’s a blast to drive as well. Better than my TDI i’ll bet. A really great story about a really great car. Congratulations for the results of all your work. I hope the school was as impressed as I am. I’ve been driving and messing with cars for about 61 years…many VW’s. 👍🏽

[@jasonfelix5545]

In South Africa the Golf 1 has a huge following, as it was locally manufactured until December 2008. Spares are plentiful and cheaply available. Your Golf is a pristine example and greatly to be admired. Keep up the good work. It is great to see a young guy with such a passion for cars.

[@ronkolk]

Je maakt me zo blij! Heb zelf een Pirelli uit '83. Dankjewel!

[@AJC508]

Thank you for linking to your old school. Have shown their website to my son, who is now very interested. We’re in northern France, only a few hours away, and this could be the perfect fit for a car mad teenager.

[@weekendcardad1881]

This engine needs a 288* cam, upgraded springs, and a HEALTHY compression bump (at least up to 10.5:1). This should net you at least 12-17kW to the wheels.

[@Everything8Valve]

A cam would also increase the intake noise as well and make it sound extra throaty!!

[@daalhoffarm]

The problem is non of those things are allowed in Belgium

[@canuckfobroader9553]

Why you gotta tell the authorities..... Just shhhhh

[@weekendcardad1881]

@@daalhoffarm You arent allowed aftermarket camshaft upgrades? What about if you swapped in a cam from a different VW head? Brazil used a 268* cam in one of their cars. Its the same cam profile that Techtonic Tuning uses for their 268* cam option.

[@Everything8Valve]

@@daalhoffarm but he can swap a whole different engine in his car and put carbs on it which makes it way less fuel efficient but he can’t put a cam in it?

Excellent. Good job. What a great school too. I wish I could have been to somewhere like that back in the seventies when I was an apprentice in the UK. Mind you, I did get my first job at the local Mercedes/Ferrari/Porsche dealer so I'm not complaining too much.

[@RamondeSouzaLima]

this and your old engine are very tunned here in Brazil, especially with turbos. I have a 1.8 N/A prep installed in my vw voyage, shirick cam, 13,5:1 compression, running on etanol, using audi a3 turbo connecting rods. i use a fueltech ecu and 4x1 exhaust manifold. I got 110whp out of it using a conservative timing. love your channel dude. subscribed.

[@Gilerajohannes]

Nice video the car pures like a kitten ;) ,im working as a bike cycle mechanic here in Denmark and I startet the eutication in January 2000 and I was finish in October 2003 and I have been in that ever since, I allso repair my own mopeds/scooters, last summer I swaped the broken air cooled engien on my Gilera Runner Sp 50 from 2006 to a licquid cooled engien and allready I had a new wirering harness installed some years ago, so it was ready to get licquid cooled, but the whole cooling system had to be installed that was a big job to do, but it runs like a dream now, I bought a Piaggio Nrg DD 50cc that I took the engien from, I only use that Gilera Runner Sp 50 in the spring and summer and autum then it stayes in my garage in the winther, it coud allso be fun to see how much power it makes on a dyno run, the only issue I got is if I drive on coppel stones or wery uneaven surface the engien stutters sets out but I have installed a real dellorto 17,5mm carburator and I have ajustet it and put in the biggest main jet that it can take and the colour on the spark plug is brown, ohh the engien is two stroke by the way, but it's so nice to do the work and knowing what parts is used and knowing what is done and save monny at the same time :) ,I like to take long trips on my scooter I got 3 and im doing all the mechanic stuff in my garage, in Denmark where I was to school for bike cycle mechanic there is allso car mechanics and motor cycle mechanics and other lines of work much similar to that in Belgum :)

The high rpm's are so wonderfully throaty on that engine. I'd add a small fartcan close to the exhaust tip just to get it rumbling a tiny bit more.

[@rockysantana6897]

I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the golf progress and see it come so far. Congrats!

[@ffhillclimber9858]

I have very much enjoyed your videos on the 2 liter 8 valve swap. I am currently building a 1400 lb Porsche 550 Spyder replica with a 2 liter 8 valve non cross flow head. It came with EFI but no ECU, so being an old guy (75) with more experience with carbs, I too decided on twin 40 mm Webers. I have a few questions. What were the final jetting (specs) of your carbs, ignition timing, and do you run vacuum advance and if so where is the vacuum port on the carbs. I don’t seem to have them on the Webers and don’t know if manifold vacuum will work. Also where does the cross flow head come from and do you know if it is a bolt on swap for my block? Oh, I lost many weeks before I found out about that adapter for the large distributor hole. I wish I had seen your videos earlier. Sorry to run on so long. You have one of the best KZbin sites I’ve ever found. Good work!

Good figures Memphis, I can appreciate your excitement in getting it on the rolling road. My Mk1 is going to the dyno for setup next tuesday, I'll be happy with similar figures to you. Overbored 1900cc DX GTI on GSXR 600 SRAD carbs with electronic timing control (Nodiz) - fingers crossed

Awesome video. I miss my Mk1 swallow tail even more. Talk about trips down memory lane. I think I mentioned I swapped the 1.6L for a 2.0L, later bored it out to 2.2L, and still added a turbo. In those days, we had slalom competitions at our local city college parking lot. Sadly, our schools in most of the US, no longer teach anything automotive. Please consider filing in content gaps with journeys in the Golf. I love looking at her lines and hearing her sing.

With cold air going into your carbs you will gain about 15HP, move them up towards the hood away from the radiator air stream

Side draft Webers etc can be very expensive to set expensive, most people would surprised that late model SU,s HIF ( high air flow, they are more square at the top, earlier ones were more rounded ) can FLOW as much air and fuel as Webers for LESS money!!

[@FrankParkin]

Looks and sounds superb. Well done. Question is. Do you stick or twist for more power?

[@milk4]

Hey man, those hose clamps look really bad. I suggest that you replace them with better ones. Especially on the coolant hoses. After some heat cycles, the cheap ones lose the clamping force and can cause a leak. Plus, once you tighten them, then loosen and you go back to tighten them, it will never clamp as hard and you can also "strip" the clamping band. Edit: I recommend Oetiker clamps.

[@itsandernow]

[@IceManCFS]

Great job, but ... Your AFRs are too rich. For NA you should aim at 12.2-12.8. I know that it is hard to tune carbs, but you can sacrifice low rpm and have there AFR 14-15, and focus on rpms after 3000. At this moment you have 10,7-11 AFR - this is too rich. Maybe next project will be with fuel injection and stand alone ECU ? ;-)
