Looking great!

[jettaboy_gtx]

nice collection of parts

[Dutch1967]

looking good Vegard - one point of notice, your rear sway-bar is incorrectly fitted and will not clear the propshaft balance weight, align using the top mounting hole and not the bottom one. Weld on a brace to position the lower mounting point.

Thanks for the advice, Marcel!

And thanks for the adapters, Bojan

Got them from http://www.turbofun.no

Rear driveshaft challange:
Can I use Golf Mk1 Gti front inner CV-joints on the haldex without modifying the rear Syncro driveshaft? Or are there other ways to go to solve this problem? A few people have told me different things, but I still have no good sollution on this issue...

[Vegard]

Engine specs:

ABF block,Tdk crank, KR p/p head, JE custom pistons, Scat 159 mm rods.

Bore 83 mm, stroke 95.5 mm, displacement 2067 ccm. Compression 8.5:1

Custom exhaust manifold, IC and plenum inlet.

Injectors will be Siemens Deka 3105 together with the small turbo (Turbonetics T3/T04E46 a/r .63 Stage V) and some 1000 cc injectors for the bigger turbo setup (Turbonetics T3/T04E Super 60 a/r .82 Stage V).

Engine management: Autronic SMC and MSD 6A .

Others: 2x Bosch 044 fuel pumps, swirlpot, fuelcell. Dry sump (not bought yet).

The other engine on the pic above is for my daily driver, another Mk2 Syncro. It's a 9A with p/p head and Schrick 268/268. I'll put it in together with Passat G60 Syncro gearbox and rear diff. On this car suspension is Rallye springs on Koni Sport/Red Koni, Rallye rear swaybar, Neuspeed front swaybar, strutbars front & rear, lower front tiebar, adj. front camber bolts, poly bushings all over.

I'll put it together to fit everything pretty soon, but then it's going apart again to do the rollcage and the chassiswork. Everything is depending on money unfortunately

[solonvan]

is the rear suspension arms and diff carrier off a passat syncro? if so, do the power flex bushings from a golf ralley mk2 fit?

Arms from Golf VR6 Syncro, subframe from Golf mk2 G60 Syncro. The Rallye bushings do not fit Passat subframe.

the powerflex bushings suck, they dont even fit properly. not recommended at all.

[Vegard]

Custom length driveshafts from Wilco.

[solonvan]

what do you recomend for bushings using the passate subframe? i mainly looking at the two piece bushing where the rear bolts to the body. i was thinking maybe a insert would firm them up, because they seem like the weak point in the system.

OEM are fine. There is no real stress on them, and there is no point to go stiffer

There is no welding needed to fit the 25mm on the car with a regular Syncro setup (have one on my syncro gti), not sure why you'd need to on a conversion car. But i could be wrong.

[Vegard]

I bought them here on the forum from jettaboy_gtx, but as far as I know he doesn't have any more. Try yellowslc, I think he has a few left.

It was not enough material if the upper hole is used un the brackets. Mayby possible to move both holes a bit, but if you go with the lower hole and drill a new upper hole the bar will be in conflict with the propshaft as far as I was told by Marcel.

the upper hole of the mount gets mounted to the lower hole on the rear suspension. the lower hole of the mount gets used by a bolt that goes through it, and the wedge mount that mounts below the suspension.

it's not mounted properly in those pics.

if i have my car on the hoist tomorrow, i'll take a pic on how to properly mount it.
