James Dean's MK4 1.8T Jetta

[James Dean]

Yeah I have been looking at something like that.
Apparently a company called SCHRICK make something worth looking at otherwise I will just fit something like the first linked.

I was also thinking of doing a hybrid sump, can't see any reason not too.

I'm thinking of doing a hybrid sump too, and possibly motor mount spacers. Post up if you find a good place to get a hybrid sump!

Its for oil surge in simple terms. Man thats one choked strainer!!!!!!! havent seen one do that and ive done, well cant put a number on the 18ts ive done. Thats Rad. I was going to suggest do a cyl leak test to check what is gone but mate in this case no need to. Go the stroker!!!
2.0 Stroker , thats the way. Its a big deal cost wise though
Shame .
I know Integrated do top kits and so do 034 Motorsports but they will leave your wallet needing some panadol
Cheers

The 2L stroker with full forged in the block, as well as big cams and 1mm oversize valves was the idea. But then I realised, I can't afford it.

No unfortunately.

Looks like the engine will be coming out next week with the original engine going back in.
