1983 Volkswagen MK1 Golf 1.8 20v turbo
This car is still part of my collection today. It’s a 1983 VW MK1 Golf. Originally a 1.3 litre with about 50 bhp. Last summer I swapped it for a 1.8 20v turbo engine from a MK4 Golf GTI. Together with a front mount intercooler, full 3 inch stainless steel exhaust system and an modified intake, it should be making about 170 bhp now. Next step is a remap, taking it well over 200… Should be fun!

Dude this is hot
Thanks!
It’s looks beautiful congratulation. :) How long did you had it?
Thanks! I’ve had it for about 1,5 years now. Planning to keep it as long as I live though!
Hele mooie !
Dankje! Ik ben er zelf ook erg trots op!
Amazing, love it!
Thanks, me too!
Ultimate respect from me to you for creating this beast. :D So cooool.
Thanks! Means a lot!
Some engine bay pics? and what gearbox?
I’m sure I can find some. Will add them this week. I am using a 020 2Y gearbox from a mk2 gti.
I’ve thought about swapping the same engine into my polo. It has been suggested by many forums. I just need the money, I’m 19 and still a student. One day it might happen
.
I’m only a few years older and also still a student. If you make a list of the parts you are gonna need and search for them carefully. It doesn’t have to be so expensive. I can help you find some parts for pretty good prices. Just ask!
Awesome! Heb heel lang naar een golf 1 gekeken, maar ben uiteindelijk toch voor een mx5 mk1 gegaan. (zie mijn pagina). Als dit blokje, wat inmiddels 2,5 ton heeft gelopen, opraakt, ga ik er ook iets bijzonders mee doen. Uit welke regio kom je?
Dankje! Ben ook op zoek geweest naar een mx5, maar ik ben bijna 2 meter lang. Dan is een mx5 niet optimaal. Zie dat je bij ziptuning werkt! Doen jullie ook op maat tunen? De golf moet nog!
Kom uit Oost-Groningen trouwens, ver van de meeste Nederlanders op CT.
Moooooi!!!
Dankjewel, haha!
