[HavokRuels]

Are the individual runners making a smooth transition into the upper half of that manifold? Doesn't look that way from this angle.

AWD, is 3 years minimum down the road if ever, at that point I would buy a hardtop and swap it all over.

In other news, got the garage scrubbed, tools organized, and parts stash sorted into 5 piles, gotta keep going with the organization..

Motor should be done in 2-3 weeks...

[jettred3]

Planning out port locations.

[jettred3]

can design#2 also drawn while bored in church...


Catch Can will be mounted where coolant overflow bottle once lived, instead of valve cover...

[mldouthi]

Did you just use a standard router bit to do the runner openings? Like the ones made to cut wood?

[jettred3]

Yup, Justin can give you the specifics, but it was a 3" router bit.

Use a thick piece of alloy, for deep bellmouths.

[mldouthi]

Awesome. Thanks.

[nubVR]

Yep, standard bit.... I've been playin around with a few...... Sad part, eBay gave best bang for the buck! 21,000 RPM and some wax..... Little bit at a time, makes one hell of a mess!

I'd say, look at all those shavings!

[mldouthi]

That is a pretty good pile of shavings.

You mean ebay had the best bang for the buck router or bit?

[nubVR]

Bit! My router is pretty damn big, I'll give specs on it later when I get home

ill just clamp it into a mini mill since I have oval runners. I ordered the bit yesterday.... 3 - 4 weeks for shipping

Great work.

Looks like fun.

Just a thought, could you also use the MK3 fill cap extension in addition to the other tube thingy.

I could was your thought to vent both halves of the VC?

[jettred3]

Bump, missed all of summer driving have not really driven in four months....




The good old days...

[jettred3]

In other build news.....





Old Subaru Airbag, with heavy flake test on bottom, micro flake on top, I'm going Micro, and the pics don't do it justice.

Dash is up next, as are most of the parts pictured below...poor Dylan.


Previous posts from my build thread on flocking and CMS..


Big box, arrived @ CMS Motorsport Solutions in Vt.

Big thanks to my man dylan costello, you can find him on facebook.

https://www.facebook.com/CMSmotorsport

He is looking to get a vw/audi customer base, he usually works on subies, evos, porsche, etc.

Price for a dash flocked, upper only is very reasonable roughly 120.00.

Hit him up for any of your needs, we may not flock everything pictured, but the majority of it will be done.

We are gonna experiment adding a little bit of gold flake to the flock, to match the wheels, and the engine which will soon be receiving a fresh coat of gold paint, once reassembled.

Oh and by the way, this is my first turbo build, never had a turbo car other than a mkiv tdi briefly, think I'm doing alright....



Pic shows, where all the vac fittings, and IAT are going...

[jettred3]

Little side project, one down one to go, should shed some bright clean light on the Intermanicooler at night.



Installed on of two Audi R8 engine bay lights, had to slowly "graft" these in. Will be wired to a hidden bay mounted switch so I can light up my bay at night, these are found stock on Audis $100k plus R8 Supercar.


R8 engine bay lights from OEMplus.com. I love stealing from the VAG parts bin.

ummmm....in a mk1 the TB is higher and hits the hood. i know you made a differnt manifold and the VC is cut up. but with the throttle cable on top...you MAY have an issue with hood clearnance no?
if you do, we have the drop plate for the TB you can use and have the throttle on the side still...no hood issuses

Yep, I was thinking of that, Or I could just get a USRT water meth tapped TB Spacer, and then the Tb could be turned with the cable on the side, right now it hits vc....

[nothing-leaves-stock]

OR the drop plate for clearance of the hood..and you can tap it for meth

How bout you tap it for me, and I'll make sure one makes its way into my bay for NLS product exposure @ shows. Obviously I would pay you full price.

[nothing-leaves-stock]

you tell me what thread size and where to tap it, i'll do it and i'll send it out.

[nubVR]

Let's see this drop plate you speak of!

[nothing-leaves-stock]

stops the dented hood issue
