so im finally getting around to a build thread (2011 on)

[tojr1088]

what size fan is that and howd you mount it in there. deff interested in that mod since i havta do the water pump/timing belt soon

got the 16 inch mishimoto electric fan off ecs. just took the radiator off and put the fan in. had to trim slightly in 2 spots for the fan to squeeze in but its a perfect fit. also to mount it i used self tapping screws with large washers to hold it down in 3 places. when your actually doing it in front of you its easy to understand

[tojr1088]

For those interested in the electric fan wiring you can either follow most fits directions and wire the fan directly into the a/c fan or you can use a separate relay and have the fan come on at a certain temp like i did. here is the diagram below



Note that the coolant temp wires on pin 2 and 4 are for two different temp settings. dont cut these wires off from the harness just splic in an extra wire on each one with a female quick connector of your choice. then put a male quick connect on the relay wire so you can switch from high to low temp triggers on the fly if need be. mine comes on at 93 degrees.

By eliminating the manual fan. Did you have to change to a different belt size? Or did you take out the fan and just leave the assembly?

Nice engine bay by the way

Whole assembly out and you can get a pk1195 belt. Any auto parts store should have one in stock

If you plasti dip the windshield washer reservoir and power steering fluid reservoir it'd look pretty dope, I did and it really hide them, though my engine bay is black. It may clean stuff up and get rid of the different colors man, aside from that I'm jealous, motor looks damn good and your making impressive numbers.

[Tylerp]

Also, how do you like the Maestro, I wanted to switch to maestro so I could have antilag but I am just starting my research, plans to go bt are starting next year but I want to start piecing together stiff now.

[deljon]

That turbo is not messing around!

I like maestro but if u don't know enough of what ur doing u may be better off with a shelf then like uni. I love being able to tune my car but also it's still always a work in progress and isn't 100 percent over the time I've had it. I haven't had too much tuning time tho. I'm confident I hit at least 400 whp as I am now tho

[tojr1088]

Bump for the last pics of me and my brothers previous car the way it sat for h2o 2012

[tojr1088]

So I'm thinking of throwing a 2.7 in with a single turbo setup using my turbo. Anyone looking for a built 1.8?

Should be a fun change

[c0r3y.af]

do it
do it
do it
do it
do it

[tojr1088]

Spoke to Joe @034 today. Pricing for a single turbo kit for a 2.7 minus the turbo has been attained.

Once taxes come gotta fix and sell my a8 and acquire the turbo kit and complete 2.7 motor

Also complete 2.7 refresh with rods will be in the works along with a new clutchmasters fx400 and some aluminum to fab piping

[c0r3y.af]

Atta boy How's that A8 coming along? Any changes since last time I saw it?

[tojr1088]

Nah lol. Waiting on a Jetta to sell

[fbm93]

Just fix the a8 and daily it. Make the S a full track car
