Good place to make my first post.... Mine is a little (really) rusty now:
Living in the states and am going to visit family in Australia when they move there in a couple of years. Will be trolling for a golf 1 to buy and try to bring back with me...

Thanks! It's a 9A 16v bottom end with an ABA crank and 1.8T rods, 16v pistons (at least 13:1 compression). Head is a slightly worked, early ABA with a Techtonics Tuning 268* cam but soon to be a 288*. Throttle bodies are motorcycle Mikuni RS flatslide carbs but have since added Megasquirt fuel injection to the system. Spark is 16v standalone knock sensing ignition with a MSD 5A. Exhaust is Mk4 2.0l manifold to modified Mk4 downpipe to TT 2.25 mandrel exhaust. Made out of a lot of used parts laying around the shop, it scoots!cool looking engine set up there matey!

how do you go running 13:1 compression though?!?!
New Dubber
How did I get 13:1? or how does it run without blowing up? The 16v pistons basically have no dish or compression relief and the ABA head has very little too! So put them together and you get a very high compression engine, so high I am actually using two head gaskets to lower compression on a NA car.
Runs fine on our 91 octane pump gas (also at 4500 feet above sea level). The knock sensing ignition is mandatory and it loves 95 octane but it really indifferent about anything above that. I built it like that because everyone is scared of too much compression and I really wanted to see what it would actually do.
Here is some in car video for noise. Remember LHD
