A really big update for you guys. The engine is finally in the Mk2 and I got the floor fixed. This is about 2 months of progress. December/Jan was a very quiet period so not much happened.
Hope you enjoy the video!

It's those core memories that mark us. My dad had a Jetta while I was growing up and I think it's made me a Mk2 guy.

Thanks for the content LL, I always enjoy it. I love the “Potte”. One question though, is t the Potte too close to the radiator??

@lowdl 6 ай бұрын

It is at the moment but we will be moving it soon. It's mounted in the stock location for a 8v engine for now.

Getting there surely... if I had known.. i broke up a mk2 jetta in December threw the body on the scrap floor was solid owell thats a pity could have saved a few pennies

That's unfortunate. Would have been great just to get a floor but this Jetta has given me some other parts I didn't know I needed.

Build looks good i just want to know seeing that ram tubes so close to that shroud wont that affect you performance on those two cylinders sucking in all that heat from the radiator and wont shorter tubes be a better option with a with some duct leading to a bonnet cutout i know that does not sound appealing and it wont be for most. That looks like it might hurt those two cylinders alot i dont know much about N/A but i do know that cold air and better airflow improves performance in any car.

@lowdl 6 ай бұрын

It's going to be fine. It's not ideal but it won't be a problem. I've run my previous setup like this and it was okay. Uninterrupted airflow is ideal but it requires a lot more money. Lol. A bonnet cut out in that location works the opposite way. It actually doesn't really suck air in because under the bonnet the air pressure is higher than above. So that's a good place to put a vent and not a duct. I could do some sort of duct from the front and face it towards those two itbs but honestly they will get enough air on its own and shorter ram tubes won't really help. The current setup isn't final either, there will be way more space for the itbs and the filters I'm going to run once it's done.

@lowdl 6 ай бұрын

@@VWPirates Lol. What? There's already a rear engine mount in the Mk2. So I'd have two rear mounts...? That front mount doesn't need to be removed to lower the radiator. There's space for it because there was a AC radiator in front of it before. It just needs new mounting holes and brackets for it to be secure.
