Not sure if this is in the right area but has anyone got an up to date version of ETKA running? And in English? I tried to install 7.4 last weekend but then realised it wouldn't work, whenever you clicked on a manufacturer it said it needed updates (also it was in German). Can anyone point me...

Does this mean C is likely forged and H is cast? I've read that OBD1 cars are forged cranks and OBD2 are cast so surely H is too new to be OBD1? I'm currently in the middle of trying to install EKTA and just as I think I've got somewhere there's another error (in German to make it that much more...

Ah got you, i'll let you off aha. I saw a 053105101C what's the difference?

Supposedly the P/N on the box?

Think I might have found a crankshaft for the stroker kit only issue being it's in America and shipping may cost me a mortgage! anyone bought any heavy parts from America? Also i'll ask in here because you seem to get no response from the gti forum. Is part number 053 105 101 the correct...

Aragon, thanks again. Looks like it may be worth swapping to ME7 when everything is built. I'm hoping to stick with an OEM ECU as even though i'm going big turbo I want to try and retain as much drive ability as possible.

I didn't know if there were any differences in ECU between the 2 engine types and if there is what you need to do for it to work. In hindsight I should've probably looked at this before buying an engine but it's done now.

I know the 06A seem to be a lot easier for a stroker if that's what you mean by conversion but I thought it would have been easier to keep an 058 in an 058 car as I'm not sure how 'plug and play' it would be putting an 06A in. Hoping i've made the easier choice but time will tell.

I'm 99% they are only for the 06A engines. I've got the older 058 engine with Intermediate shaft so I need the older crank from 2.0 N/A GTI's.

The engine is all stripped down and a little cleaned up. I'm still hoping to make this a stroker build but I'm struggling to get hold of a crankshaft. Anyone have any ideas where I might get one? They are from either an ABF or ABA engine which I believe were in the mk2 and mk3 2.0 golf gti.

I've now got myself a donor 1.8T engine from Phil_R, originally I thought I was just going to pick up the bare block but it was the full bottom end so I decided to get the head as well while I was there. All in basically the full engine for £70. The only parts that I will probably be using is...

Broonie, any update on the brake setup?

Yeah I've not really been on any forums before, up until last few months but the number of threads I start to read and follow then all of a sudden you click the next page and see 'unfortunately I'm unable to finish this project and will be breaking the car message if there's any parts you...

Yeah it could well be but don't think it will be too bad as it'll be 2.0L and I'm going to have a chat with the compressor racing guy as he has some HX35's for sale at the moment with the much smaller single scroll turbine housing. Think he even had one that was 8/9cm recently!

Everything for the A4 has sort of been on hold for a while but I've still been looking into various parts and I'm now 90% set on which turbo I want to go for. The Holset HX35G. The 'G' model is from the Compressed Natural Gas engines which have a water cooled core and an anti-surge compressor...

Look forward to seeing this finished mate! Anyway, not a great start to a project as all things B5 are now on hold after needing a fair bit of work doing on the Golf this month (Service, discs + pads all round, rear calipers, ABS Sensor and ring, rear hub and wheel bearing). So that's basically...

So only the A4 from the B6/7 not the S4/RS4?

So does this mean potentially rear s/rs B6/7 brakes without changing uprights? or did they change to electronic handbrake? :(

All sounded great until you said you had an S4, aren't the hub and the mounting points different for the caliper mount/adapter? I'm sure I'd have to swap them out for S4 ones which I think would then mean S4 uprights and changing the driveshaft flange for an S4 one.

Yeah to be fair probably doesn't justify the bigger brakes over the s4/rs4 calipers just think it'd be a cool setup and something a little different. Then again different isn't always a good idea. And also the hydraulic handbrake I suppose would be okay for short term use but I wouldn't like to...
