I'm giggleing like a little schoolgirl here in my office.

**PBWB** · 09-28-2006 07:11 PM

Lift it baby!!!

**WolfGTI** · 09-28-2006 09:18 PM

As I found out today - if the cams were any bigger - they wouldn't fit in the head without work, plus the retainers that hold down the camshafts would have had to be machined as there's barely clearance as the pictures show.

I am curious! What timing belt and tensoiner combo did you use?

**WolfGTI** · 09-30-2006 01:40 PM

Belt is a 158 Tooth Conti Curvelinear II profile, still working on finalising the tensioner setup.

**Audi4u** · 09-30-2006 04:08 PM

Ok keep up the good work. Great Thread!

**Issam Abed** · 10-02-2006 04:39 PM

Try to source an AWP valve cover

.Did you purchase the Autotech IM shaft gear as well?

**WolfGTI** · 10-02-2006 05:15 PM

The valve cover I have is polished, plus I bought the aluminim cover plates to allow me to fit the 16v wires from 034EFI already so I'll be sticking with this valve cover - thanks though. Yes I did order and purchase the Autotech IM shaft gear.

**WolfGTI** · 10-04-2006 10:30 PM

Progress update - timed the crank/cam/distributor today. Then cranked over the motor by hand 2 times. Turned over freely - but peeking down the intake ports; it's scary the clearances in there when the piston comes up. Should have the ITB flange done by Fri evening (I hope) will update when that is done. Radiator is mounted, most of the coolant hoses are hooked up / fabbed.

**WanganLLama** · 10-04-2006 11:30 PM

what engine management and trigger setup will you be running?

**WolfGTI** · 10-04-2006 11:32 PM

MegaSquirt - using the hall sensor in the distributor.

**regrind** · 10-05-2006 09:18 AM

are you done yet? jeez.

I told you you'd beat me.

**vwnthusiast** · 10-05-2006 11:21 AM

ill be watching closely

So your staying with the distributor or going coil packs?

I am staying with the distributor for now - maybe in spring I'll toy with getting coil packs.

**ABF Jeff** · 10-06-2006 01:16 AM

Looking good, Mendra... Can't wait to see some more progress.

**WolfGTI** · 10-06-2006 11:10 PM

So the delay has been related to the intake - finally got it fabbed today. Then commenced the 3 hours of grinding and porting to make everything as nice as possible. Car will be started Monday due to weekend social engagements (wedding of best friend). Stay tuned - in the meantime here are some pics.

External Mocal oil cooler mounted.

MK4 2.0L lower hose to go across to radiator spout

Lower end of downpipe

Race-Shop Joe porting the welded intake.

Horns

More horns

Even more horns

Parting shot

Hey, that's me.

Good luck getting it running next week. I'll be thinking about you as I sit in my lounge chair on a Dominican beach sipping my Coco Loco.

**mack73** · 10-07-2006 12:19 AM

what is the plan for a crankcase vent? since there is a block off plate on the block and IIRC the head doesn't have a vent?

Vent is throught the head - look at this pic.

So nice of you to change the thread title Mendra............pics look awesome.

And travis is right, this will be a legend.

So the motor was started up yesterday. It runs - no bent valves or odd noises. However it seems with the compression I am running, I will need to vent both the block and the head (separately), because once the motor builds up pressure under load it is seeping oil from the oil seals. Will report back after the block is vented.

**BMGFifty** · 10-10-2006 09:34 AM

Nice! I know from recent experience that first starts are tough. This project looks great!

**A1Crazy** · 10-10-2006 09:38 AM

ABE sounds like a 1.8T

**billyVR6** · 10-10-2006 10:22 AM

Hell yeah!!!

Venting the block shouldn't be an issue, it will get all sorted out.
How big was your when that bad boy was fired up??? X10.

I was smiling, but also a little worried that because of the clearances. Now that we have the fan wiring and the motor isn't tearing itself apart I am a little happier. Tuning this thing is going to be harder than sorting out the 8v, I can see it. I'll keep updating. PS - A1Crazy has video, if he makes an mpeg i'll link to it.

**billyVR6** · 10-10-2006 01:40 PM

Well, you have one foot in the door as Joe knows Nate fwell enough, could get you in the right direction as your build up is very similar to his first generation 20/20 engine. Maybe we can cash in a favor for helping yank and tear down the tranny to make the next round at Atco a few years ago.

**WolfGTI** · 10-10-2006 10:38 PM

Update - drove the car home - appears the breather in the blockoff plate solved the oil seal seepage. Now the tuning begins.
