Id take 180 euro for the manifold and downpipe, that is what they are standing me. If you are interested I can get some photos at the weekend.
conorParticipantWow great work! By the way if you decide on a g60 exhaust then I think I have a G60 syncro cast manifold and downpipe in my garage somewhere
conorParticipantVery nice, something I’d love to do with my own car
conorParticipantGreat progress, thanks for posting info about the e30 prop carrier bearing. I need to replace both the front and back ones on my Jetta syncro. Did someone weld custom mounts onto your chassis to attach the different bearing bracket to?
conorParticipantNice Country, look forward to seeing the progress. I saw this on facebook , you have a T25 Syncro too yes?
conorParticipantOh fuck, sorry about that, I didn’t study the photos, just went by the advert titles.
conorParticipantNice car! Look forward to seeing how it turns out
conorParticipantI think these are syncro rear carriers:
conorParticipantconorParticipantconorParticipantYou need golf rallye rear carriers. I see you put a set up for sale?
conorParticipantIncluding mine there are three RHD Jetta Syncros that I know of in Ireland.
The 020 is holding up fine, I have a stage 2 black diamond clutch and fitted the diff bolt kit.
Since I am aware of the 020 box limitations I just don’t launch hard from a standing start. I’m not hard on gearboxes and I doubt I’ll ever try and run big power through it!For the past few weeks I have been running it without the propshaft and its amazing how many times the front wheels will spin when taking off, and thats not driving like a hooligan either, need to get that propshaft back together!
conorParticipantThanks! My G60 was standard apart from a smaller charger pulley so was running more boost than standard, but it hadn’t been chipped and was running the standard GU downpipe and a 2″ exhaust which was probably holding it back some.
It now has a 1.8T AUM engine with 150bhp.conorParticipantJust seeing this thread for the first time now. That is a very nice looking Jetta. You are going a similar route to what I did with mine. I converted my 89 Jetta Syncro to g60 a few years back. I also upgraded the rear brakes to discs. However I retained the the 020 gearbox (Just replacing the diff rivets) and I also retained the GU manifold and downpipe. I had intended to go back and upgrade these in the future but ended up melting a piston in the engine!
I look forward to seeing your progress.
conorParticipantThanks, yeah I miss that engine, I replaced it with a 1.8T but the engine does nothing for me, it doesn’t have the same character.
