The Golf is powered by a turbocharged 1.8T inline-four capable of 766 hp or about 850 hp with nitrous. On the dyno at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volksworkshop.co.uk\/\">Volks Workshop<\/a> it made 713 horsepower and 579 lb-ft at 2.1 bar (30.4 psi) of boost before stopping early because of issues. The engine features a Eurospec stroker billet crank and girdle kit, Pauter connecting rods, JE pistons, Precision PT6766 turbocharger, and Nira Motorsport ECU. It&#8217;s topped with a port\/polished head, Ferrea valvetrain, and Integrated Engineering Strip camshafts. The E85 fuel is fed through Grams 2200 cc injectors from a Holley Red lift pump and two Bar Motorsports 044 pumps. Power is sent to all four wheels through a Don Octane six-speed dogbox with triple-plate clutch, custom driveshaft, and Quaife differential. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/Ufk2NzoS1KU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/m6lZmOu5XKU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/qQXIbUjW_EQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCRaD2PJPmtVXFc3NqpXLscw\">VeeDubRacing<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCEgP5c3kM9z1NBl6vyHPT5g\">Volks Workshop<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samir Lukac and his AWD Golf Mk1 attended VW Action Show 2019 at Santa Pod Raceway and went 9.322 sec at 155.75 mph.
