Jay Jays Mk2 Project

Actually carbies only need about 3 psi, Jarred. They only need enough pressure and volume to fill the float bowl and nothing more.

Looking good, guys.. Cold backfiring and cranky idle here we come! haha.

well there you go, I thought 10psi was probably too much! cheers Preeny

Yup, but the 68PSI generated by the kjet pump was a little too much.

The EFI Golf 3 2L pump would have probably been ok to be dialled down by the regulator, but the singlepoint cars, like cordobas and golf cls run an even weaker pump, which is the way we went.

Thats easy to say Josh, but they are very hard to get for a Mk2. They are not the same as Mk1 or Mk3 ones.

learn something new everyday... what about your mate who did the custom mk1 headers for a good price???

EDIT: progress looks awesome. Jay your going to LOVE the sound of those things on full noise

I can get Mk1 extractors brand new for a great price.

Mk1 System for my 16v, was using the stock manifold. 16v extractors offer minimal gains at best.

Mk2 is a tiny market in Oz, so very hard to get performance parts. Extractors would not pass emmissions in UK, so you are only left with LHD ones which dont fit, or fully custom which start at $1000

I beg to differ.....4 branch ansa (or what ever the name is...TSR used to sell them) gave massive torque and top end BHP gains. We saw 20 bhp gain on my mates mk1 convertible.

Can you still get them though??
Plus shipping something that big to Australia can be an issue.

There are lots of comparison tests on the net from when VW Motorsport tried different exhausts on racing the 16v engine.

FWIW: I was searching last week and found mk1 16v manifold for 250 squids without shipping. I decided leave it for now.

These carbs look even more horn in real life!

Yes you can mate. 250 squids sounds about correct (plus shipping)

As per everything in Oz its expensive but you need to pay to play

Thats a Mk1 manifold and wont fit Mk2.
