New shifter cables since I bent mine pushing it on the lift

New water pump

**VRsixGLI** · 01-23-2011 11:57 AM

.

Same here. My deadline was the end of Jan., now it's realistically looking like Mar.

. I hate waiting to.

Gear sets pressed apart for new syncros. Trans had a 150k on it. Next year I will be doing HPA gears and a diff. Hopefully syncros will be able to hold me over til then.

Case going back together

Bagged the DM setup and went with the clutch HPA runs in their twin turbo cars. They have had awesome success with this setup and guess who its made by...

-10 AN Fitting welded on MKV R32 pan

Waiting on the alternator and serpentine belt to come in to complete the accessories and the Tstat housing to get the crack pipe on. All the hoses and fittings have been ordered to run the oil feed, oil return and coolant feed. I was planning on running the coolant feed off of the crack pipe since I wont need the one fitting due to deleting the OE oil cooler.

**dr. b** · 02-02-2011 08:44 PM

damn! i feel like a slacker. excellent progress.

**VRsixGLI** · 02-02-2011 09:26 PM

Haha I still have a little ways to go. Input shaft had some play in it and my buddy thst put it together didnt like it so he ordered a larger spacer to reduce some play. Hopefully that fixes it and the whole thing doesnt need to come apart. Only thing i need now is new bushings for my vf mounts and the motor and trans can go in.

**obdONE** · 02-03-2011 11:06 AM

who made that turbo manifold again and how much did you pay?

**VRsixGLI** · 02-03-2011 12:34 PM

**huichox4** · 02-03-2011 01:24 PM

looking good man, very shiny!!

**JDM-JTI** · 02-04-2011 02:39 PM

ill be watching this .. VERY NICE WORK!

boost comes later in there compared to a VRT. torque spike low rpms = destruction.

were are the 6 cyl #'s from an engine with the same turbo and psi as the 2.3 you posted? good torque yes comparison to a 6 cyl NO.

again 2.3 from an evo cannot be compared to a VW 6cyl ever because they dont share anything in common.

I am just trying to keep someone from finding out the hard way and the OP seems to have done its research well ahead of time.

I will stop now the thread jacking.

The morons probably reused the crappy stock stretch bolts. Just because someones clutch failed and a bunch of crybabies cried on VW vortex says nothing about the clutch. I just saw a guy in a stock 1.8t destroy the flywheel (busted it in four pieces). Before everyone repeats things that some of these morons say you need to think about what actually may have happened.

**IHookItUuup** · 02-05-2011 12:24 AM

Which of the VF mounts failed? I've only seen the dog bone mount bushings fail. Any pics?

**VRsixGLI** · 02-05-2011 10:33 AM

Dog bone bushings were completely shot and the engine mount bushings split after 40k miles

**IHookItUuup** · 02-05-2011 09:27 PM

My dogbone bushings failed as well. Visually my motor and tranny mount appear fine, but I will have to inspect them more carefully - I've heard of a few failures now...

**VRsixGLI** · 02-14-2011 12:39 AM

Got some more stuff done...

Clutch mounted

SAI plugged

Made the oil feed line hopefully it holds

Put the plugs in and put the autotech wires on

Motor came a long way lol

Injectors have been ordered. Went with 830cc from Scott at USRT great guy to deal with.

They should be here this week.
New bushings from VF should be here tomorrow.
Surge tank is coming from 034 which has yet to be released yet

Should have my -8AN fitting welded on my gruven crack pipe this week too
Need to order a couple more fittings from Summit and ill have the coolant lines done
This weekend the motor and trans should finally be in the car along with the all the fueling

**GinsterMan98** · 02-14-2011 01:31 AM

Looking good bro, almost there.

**VRsixGLI** · 02-14-2011 01:34 AM

Thanks, I just cant wait to see the motor and the trans sitting in the car finally.

**75Bus88fox** · 02-14-2011 09:33 PM

all that shiny stuff isnt going to help you when i catch you driving around and run my mk2 into your door

**VRsixGLI** · 02-15-2011 01:34 PM

lol

**VRsixGLI** · 02-15-2011 01:37 PM

Got the trans mounted to the motor may have to paint if cause it looks like ****. Managed to lose the motor mounts bolts so I couldnt bolt it in. They should be here this friday.

**75Bus88fox** · 02-18-2011 12:01 PM

i take it you found a crank pulley, sorry i never picked that one up for you.. the mk2 cracked a pistion.. stupid stock 8v

that being said ive been busy pulling the VRT out of the wrecked mk3 and swapping it over tyo the mk2.

**Tom Long** · 02-18-2011 12:20 PM

Looks great! A+ for originality...

**huichox4** · 02-18-2011 01:28 PM

have you test fitted for the Downpipe yet? being the hot side of the turbo on the Driver side makes it extremely tight due to the transfer case, drive shaft and too close to things that could melt ..... just a heads up

you could flip it and have the downpipe come out the other side like most of us, its looking really good man

**Issam Abed** · 02-20-2011 08:48 PM

Loving it!
sad to see that nice new oil pan go though....

**VRsixGLI** · 02-21-2011 11:47 AM

haha yes

I have to have the exhaust made so I dont really have anything to test fit haha. I'm going to get as much work done to the car as possible before I drop the car off to have the exhaust done.

**VRsixGLI** · 02-24-2011 08:16 PM

**Issam Abed** · 02-25-2011 06:56 AM

3 things sir:

You have no idea how many people are boiling inside.
What are we doing with this here oil pan
You might want a fluidampr crank pulley on this baby

**VRsixGLI** · 04-04-2011 12:20 AM

Update: Been progressing slowly.

Wiring went from this...

To this... All wires ran out of the rain tray behind the ABS module through the rail. Shaved bay next year

Oil feed line done...

Oil drain line done...

All fueling is done... Rail

Regulator...

New Surge tank from 034.

Innovate LC-1 Installed...

Tomorrow I am working on running the water lines for the AWIC. I need to finish the wiring and order and install an egt gauge and Eboost2. Then the exhaust and IC piping are being done.

**obdONE** · 04-04-2011 11:20 AM
