Blue Bunny 16VT with Megasquirt

**Gear_Dog** · 11-22-2011 01:55 PM

Just like a lot of other people here I started one project then a better car came along.
So now the project car is the parts car and a new build begins.
Here is what it came with:

Rallye front rad support
Audi door handles
full cabby kit
rear smoked ecodes
roof wing
fuel cell (on the fence with this)
battery box cut out in rear (stash box)
rear disk conv.
full dynamted intieror
head gasket
arp head studs
short runner intake
oem SEAT intake manifold
serpintine belt conversion
It also came with extra parts to turbo, I’m keeping the log mani but the turbo and wastegate are FS.

Doner car will be giving up the Garret T3/T4 .57 trim turbo, Tial 38mm wastegate and MS along with other misc parts to make the car whole again.
Day one pic beside the old project.

If you left the grey car out the pic folks would think you move as fast as Fastest6day66 errr I mean Matt.

Looking good Ken. Keep up the progress.

You upped the ante by a lot with this one. Its gonna be a beast.

Make it happen Ken!!! The body and paint job ah very nice!

**Mk1Madness** · 11-22-2011 05:38 PM

Rallye front end

**Gear_Dog** · 11-22-2011 06:09 PM

The body is clean but the paint has seen better days. Looks great at 20ft bit it's got a lot of chips and scratches. But that something g to worry about after she is running.

**16v_HOR** · 11-24-2011 12:46 AM

I was wondering who picked up this car. You got a hell of a good deal on this thing, we'll see this one at Madness this year

**goosler** · 11-24-2011 09:42 AM

wait, are you still talking about the car?

**Gear_Dog** · 11-24-2011 05:19 PM

Boost tubes done

**35i 2000** · 11-24-2011 07:26 PM

what MS are you going to run?

any plans for a set of coilovers to get it a smiggen lower?

**VAG_Lowrider** · 11-25-2011 03:21 PM

In case you didnt know it, your timing belt tensioner is tightened the wrong way

He has a set of coils on the other shell that will make their way over eventually.

**Gear_Dog** · 11-26-2011 09:31 AM

Weitec coils are on the gray car and will be coming off before it gets too cold out along with the Rado brake setup. I'm looking to make it a fun car so I'm thinking somewhere around 225-250hp but that can change. I have to double check but I think I have MS1 V3, that I bought like 2 years ago for the gray car. I still have to pull the head and inspect everything. The injector holes weren't covered so who knows what's in there. I'll be replacing the belts and gaskets while everything is apart.
Tranny is stock with diesel 5th and it will do for now since I have a spare already.

**Mk1Madness** · 11-26-2011 10:18 AM

**goosler** · 11-26-2011 10:31 AM

I'm sure Ken will post up better ones, but I do have this one saved....

**Mk1Madness** · 11-26-2011 10:42 AM

**Chrom0sexual** · 11-26-2011 10:47 AM

Started laying out the MS wiring last night which was a lot easier this time. Still trying to figure out what to do with the coil pack. I'm thinking about putting it in the same location as the stock one. I can probably make a new block off plate with mounting tabs for the coil.

**VWeezly** · 11-29-2011 11:32 AM

yay for another 16vt

**alec stensaa** · 11-29-2011 08:43 PM

post more photos of the car.

**Gear_Dog** · 12-02-2011 02:29 PM

Here is a quick update on the build.
I’m working on a new distributer block off plate so that I can mount my coil on. The bolts on the coil sit right over the current plate. Initially I was thinking of just welding tabs on it but it’s easier to just make a new one.
I made a cardboard template and was able to test fit it.

**Gear_Dog** · 12-05-2011 06:26 AM

Made some good progress this weekend. Block off plate and downpipe done.

**2021cc8V** · 12-05-2011 01:27 PM

nice! keep it up!

**JUS_GT_EYEZ** · 12-05-2011 01:40 PM

**goosler** · 12-05-2011 03:34 PM
