Moved back in time a little! 20v 6N!
Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2009 11:12 am
Hey guys, been around the forum a while but been hanging out in the GTI forum until now.
I have a Lupo which I'm building (well, the build has been on going since May 2005
) and I had a 6N2 GTI while my Lupo was off the road.
Come across a 6N 1.8 20v Turbo built by Dubsport back in 2005 for sale and managed to do a deal with the owner and did the trade.
The engine has been recently replaced with a 25k mile APP engine, it has a Cupra R intake, 225 throttle body and injectors and a K03S Turbo boosting to 0.7bar.
Emerald stand alone management takes car of the fueling
Neither myself or the previous owner have put the car on the rollers so I have no idea on the power, but its fast enough to embarrass some pretty brisk cars but not that fast that the handling is compromised.
The car is booked into the body shop on the 22nd to get the front end and mirrors painted, need to get hold of a standard 6N6N tail gate and a 16v rear bumper before the rear end gets done.
It came with a 6N2 tailgate with boot popper, I swapped this over for a smoothed 6N tailgate that came with it, but I want to put it back to standard.
Tempted with some 6N2 rear lamps though.
The rear beam has 6N2 GTI discs and pads, while the front is taken care of with some 280s.
Had to replace the discs and fluid as they were shot, check out the Video to see why! lol
Not sure what to do with the wheels, I love these rims, have a set freshly refurbished ready for the summer, but I'm tempted with some 7.5x15s just to fill the arches a little more.
Engine wise, all it needs is a better air filter, and a 'cold side' dump valve as the standard crappy plastic one needs to go!
Gonna get switchable map installed though, as fuel consumption is pretty poor to say the least.
Every day use doesn't need anymore than 150 hp IMO.
Put some audio in this weekend, although I'm not sure if I should take it back out again.
Nice to have some good sounds again, but the weight.. lol
Anyway thats it.
Just wanted to say hi!

My mates got a TT 1.8T in his so the KO4's on the list which should see it to 300bhp. best to sort them niggling issues you have so its running reliably first. Having major subs in the back is defo noticeable so the door card thought is probably best.
