Thinking about a rebuild

xThermoNucleaRx · 02-12-2012, 06:41 AM

I'm currently in college and my major is Petroleum engineering. However, alot of my classes can be adapted to mechanical engineering in some sorts. What kind materials, parts, or whatever would I would need consider if I would want to take a 86.5 N/A MKIII to a decent performance ride. ( I would like information of drifting, drag racing, or any other type of high speed/rev type of driving.)

Also, this will be most likely will be a long term ( 2-15 year) built so if possible give suggestions on the most vital part ( for me is connecting rods for ex.) you would reconmend. I am showing ladies the sights so I am replacing seat first no matter what, haha

Ultimate goal:
Not sure, but at least a 86.5 that can pull the full potential from precise tuning or at least the best offered set up for mk3.

Thanks in advance

From what i have heard You really cant get much power out of the N/A and if you do go down that road its rather expensive whith less than expected results, From the many threds iv seen it seams the best way to go is a 7mgte but i could always be wrong.

When it comes to rebuild i would go new water pump, timing belt, head gasket, new pistons, rings,rods, bearings, maby bore it while your there, check the head for crackes and or warpadge, make shure the springs are still up to par, see if valves are still in good shape, ckeck the deck surface, new plumbing, oil lines- radiator hoses, crank shaft rebalanced... thers alot to do just depends how much of an extensive rebuild you want to do and how much cash your willing to spend. On mine i want to do a compleat and full top and lower end rebuild but to do the kind of rebuild i want will cost me probably WELL over 5 grand and thats not including a turbo rebuild

Again if im wrong correct me so i dont say somthing stupid in the future
