IT'S HEEEEEEEREEEEE!

Christmas on my doorstep.
always a good sign:

I was too excited to take pictures so this is the aftermath, haha


tial q bov

external wastegate, also by tial

PPT exhaust manifold, welds look awesome


TIP, open dump from wastegate, table salt, everything v-banded

walbro inline fuel pump, siemens 630cc injectors

and finally! gt3071r


can't wait to get all these goodies in.

still waiting on maestro, and audi tt manifold. Maestro shipped separately from eurodyne, so that should be here this week. I'm going to expedite the shipping on my manifold so I can get this bad boy buttoned up and ready to boost!

Nice nips. Ever been milked?

[Rod Ratio]

Holy Hipster glasses Batman!

[jstnGTI]

Looking good! See if you can run the oil feed line a little bit further away from the exhaust mani

goooooooood call.




I think i've done all I can before my remaining parts come in. started shaving the pass side of my bay to kill time.

got my motor off the stand today for the first time in a week and a half.

clutch kit installed:

my Sachs kit didn't come with an alignment tool, so I used [i think] a 14mm deep well socket and it worked like a charm.

then, I wrestled the motor into the bay.

barely got it in the bay and the cherry picker in the garage before I had to leave for work.

Axles still need to be installed, dog bone mount attached, harness, slave... etc.

got my boost controller in the mail today, STILL waiting on TT manifold, maestro, and a few misc. items to instalWl my fuel pump.
high hopes and wishful thinking says this motor will run this weekend.
-fingers crossed.

Nice build. I would have went re-routed dump because the screamer pipe will get annoying in time.

[jstnGTI]

read up on it a lot before I made the decision. wanted to hear this bad boy scream for myself. sounded gnarly on YouTube.

oh I know exactly what you mean becuase i was in the exact same position. I originally had the open dump on my pagparts build but in the end sent it off to him for a re-route because it was just getting annoying. i wanted to hear the turbo spool.

[mm2129]

subscribed can't wait to see more!

[Dub-Nub]

you better be putting it all together cause i know you got the tt manifold

[jstnGTI]

hahah, yes!

straightened everything out. shift linkage installed ( was a mother fcker to get unstuck from behind the motor since I rushed putting it in), dogbone attached, and started working on the half of ic piping I could without the mani.


THEN, Friday the mani came in (:

wrinkle black- sick.

had to work 12's this weekend over night, so it took up some car time. but I was able to swap everything to the new mani and clean my throttle body.


the 630's sit way higher, so I'm going to use some tubing as a spacer or a lot of washers and longer grip bolts. also going to need some new vacuum line cause the ports for the fpr are opposite.

i'll get it sorted out.


still waiting on software and fuel pump install kit.
I'll get everything buttoned up so those are the last two things i need.

MORE TO COME!

sad to say it won't run this weekend :\

so you heard the turbo spool then the pipe scream? Did you heat the turbo spool while the pipes screamed?

Cause my turbo didnt spool slow

i glued/stacked washers

[jstnGTI]

anyone know what to do with my n275 valve wires? how to properly delete it?

cut the wires and tape them off?

as you know I have a manual boost controller, and maestro I assume will let me code it out.

just have a left over plug.

Just tug the wires away somewhere, dont cut anything.

[Vegeta Gti]

def do not cut wires, you can trim away the harness wrapping and re-wrap once you get some slack.


i hear my turbo spool whilst my dum screams..cos the billet wheel, with no filter,etc is effing LOUD..it makes a creepy whine at idle..you can hear it sucking air..love it.

well that makes sense then

[jstnGTI]

so you're telling me, leave it as is... Unplugged and tucked away?

what if I cut the slack, and wrap the two individually (not touching)?
still a bad idea? haha
-------
did some harness maintenance today. separated, re wrapped a couple things, cleaned it up.
mostly for the new manifold, and tryin to keep my wires "tucked."

when I had my harness apart the first time, I cut back the washer and coolant fluid sensor wires with no problems, resistored everything else.

quick shot of my unfinished bay while I still had the motor in:


real update coming shortly. almost finished the harness today, when I ran into that problem. core support and front mount will happen next.

[Rod Ratio]

If you're going to cut ANYTHING out of the harness; it has to be resistored

[jstnGTI]

as a temp solution, leave it unplugged or plug it in and cap the vacuum lines?

i apologize for the amount of questions, I'm still not clear on what to do.

just don't want to go limp q;

SN: LOOOOOOK WHAT I CAME HOME TO!




YES!
