Hey guys, just putting out a eoi for my mk1 golf, it's fully worked and fully sorted. I'm going overseas for a month in december and although ill have no problems keeping it, if someone will take it i will sell.

VW Mk1 Golf GLS (4-door) SUPERCHARGED 2.0l

1979

Body in excellent condition, slight rust in front guards at the bottom of the wheel arch, these panels are bolt on panels, i have one spare ready to be preped and painted, you can get them for about 80 bucks each. Absolutely none in the usual pillars or hatch or anywhere else and definitely no structural areas. Surface rust behind the rear number plate easily fixed. this car passed rego, blue slip , engeneers etc so you know its very minor

Car had only two previous owners first owner was a old lady, then it was sold to a enthusiest who did all the work, i bought this off him in july. The car has been my daily driver and it is very reliable and i have not had any troubles with it. Doors close beautifully, windows wind smoother than any mk1 I have seen and even the dash is hardly cracked.

Modifications:

- Supercharged Intercooled rebuilt 1995 2.0l AGG 8v motor,

- microtech LT8 engine management system,

- 5-speed gearbox, sway bars,

- Sirocco10.1” brakes,

- Spax sport springs/Sachs shocks,

- 2.5” exhaust with mandrel bends,

- tinted windows,

- sway bars,

- vl fuel pump

- volvo injectors

- and a load of other bits and pieces such as strengthened cv's etc

This engine produced 112kw@wheels (approx 145kw@flywheel) when first dyno-ed however it is expected to make a little more since larger injectors were fitted (from a Volvo 740t – 300cc injectors) and the rev limiter was lifted.

The supercharger is a SC14 from a Toyota crown and has an electro-magnetic clutch (like on an air-conditioner compressor). It can be switched on and off mad-max style and there is a switch near the steering wheel for easy access. The change when you turn it on is quite dramatic. There is no lag whatsoever and you have 9-10psi boost any time you flick that switch doesn’t matter what revs you are doing. The engine and exhaust note changes dramatically too. lot of people have asked me if i have a group a v8 in there, apparently it sounds like this when the blower is on.

With the supercharger turned off the car still produced 68kw@wheels (approx 85kw@flywheel) so is no slouch. The car ran a low 14-second 99mph quarter on crappy street tyres and could probably go quicker based on that trap speed. I had the smaller injectors and hence the intrusive rev limiter which I hit at least once on both runs.

The gearbox has a taller diff ratio than some of the earlier 5-speeds (3.67:1) which I prefer for street driving as the gearing becomes a bit taller and first gear is not over in the blink of an eye. There is more than enough torque to handle this.

The car is fully engeneered and has rego till july 2008

The car is valued at 9500 with just cars third part fire and theft, im open to offers of purchase or swapping for cars of interest.I'm after 6000 for the car or im happy to swap for thing newer plus cash.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
