I highly suggest using corrugated PTFE in the fuel tank for the fuel pump to the hat to guarantee no rubber swelling issues as I have had in the past, especially if running e85. I even used Gates submersible 30R10 and still had issues with it failing (typically tears at the worm clamp). How...

Edit: How long until the V2 Goblin prototype is produced? Is there any active progress being made with real parts?

Well you’ll just have to watch my build to find out how the 07k does in this chassis ;) . I’ll be purchasing this new v2 as soon as it’s released for purchase. And the stock me7 ecu has plenty of reflash options if you want to keep it cheap and use a stock ecu and harness, including with a turbo.

Make and model - VW Jetta/Rabbit/Passat with the 07K 5-cylinder engine Year available - MK5 and MK6 - 2005-2014 [ BGP/BGQ/BPR/BPS: Volkswagen Jetta (2005–2007), Volkswagen New Beetle (2006–2011), Volkswagen Rabbit (Golf Mk5) (2006–2007). CBT/CBU: Volkswagen Beetle (A5) (2012–2014), Volkswagen...

This is getting off-topic, but I completely agree and would prefer an AWD setup. However, the common and abundant AWD vehicles are front-engine. You can't just mount the powertrain 180 degrees and spin the wheels backward. DF would have to come up with a front-engine concept to use the available...

I also think the GTI is an excellent choice for a donor and I prefer that the engine bay "could" accommodate many of the common engine/trans swaps with confirmation from DF. However, the downside is that the overall vehicle will be bigger and heavier to ensure the largest possible powertrain...

I am pretty excited about this V2 chassis. I was planning to put the 5-cylinder VW 07K engine with mid-size turbo of course (Group B rally car sounds do it for me) in a v1 goblin with a VW 02M 6-speed transmission, but this new chassis excites me even more. I wasn't a huge fan of the rear look...

Hi all, My name is Justin. This is my first post in this forum and I plan to have many related to my Goblin project that will be quite unique from the standard powertrain perspective. I am a gearhead-racer-adrenaline junkie at heart and a family guy and mechanical engineer by day. I have owned...
