I'll post more pics as these advances

[LAZY TURBO]

pics dont work...

[20vturbo]

i just tried them now and they do scroll down in that window

[Elberoth]

Not worky

[20vturbo]

ok somebody tell me how to post them here the pics

[CO AVANT]

Go to gallery, upload pics, browse, then click on your pic, then process. This will load them onto the audizine server. Might help if the server you are using doesn't want to display them here. Make sure they are jpeg so they are small enough.

Go to see we are both there man. My fingers are crossed for both of us when we first turn it over. I could fire mine up right now, but apr sent me the wrong DP. Oh well it still ain't going anywhere with how these damn CO roads are right now anyway...

Good luck

sick! but what am I looking at?

[CO AVANT]

first pic, the alternator is right in the bottom middle to the left of the orange oil dip stick tube, the intake runners going into the head are right next to it. second pic is looking at the cams, cam chain, top of the head with the valve cover gasket on, etc... 3rd pic is looking at one of the exhaust openings going into the exhaust valve at the head.

that is really interesting.

yeah man we got the first real snow storm here too...nyways the car is out of comission until spring I still have to shit some pennyes to get this thing done...Tonight I am leaving for detroit witht the semi it's gonna be some fun

[20vturbo]

sick! but what am I looking at?

co pretty much expleined it it looks messy but it's not that bad

[Craigo]

what engine is that?

[CO AVANT]

1.8T

20V, I forgot but did you end up using a different head? If so what code is it?
Did you make sure all your timing marks lined up perfect? Since those cams don't have any timing marks and they just give actual timing figures you need to make sure those were installed perfect, but I'm sure you already know that ;)

1.8t

I also see you used an external oil cooler, I presume. What brand and dimensions did you go with? Was I looking at the stock one right when I saw that both oil and coolant run through the same housing? I also replied above you at the same time you posted the first link for pics...

yes they are punched it's not exact..the guy that put the head together told me he used the punches in the cams and then he counted the links on the chain...U have to use a special tool to get the chain with the tensioner in...The marks between the 2 cams right now but there is no oil in the tensioner so it's normal to be a bit off I am calling autotech now i want to get this

[20vturbo]

yes I got the mocal adapter I bought some aeroqip fittings and line the core I got it off ebay a while ago about 100$ I guess it adds up about the same if you buy a kit may be just a bit less...I don't have the camera here right now but I'll have more pictures of the whole thing soon

[CO AVANT]

Damn, I wanted a lightweight cam gear too. I also need to say enough is enough for now, lol. Those look nice though.

[20vturbo]

it's the original small port head but it has been ported, inconel exaust valves stainless intake ferrea all over and revolver cams....if you look at the ports u won't see much the real job is where the valves are, there are a lot of imperfections on that area in the casting...I wasn't looking to make the ports as big as possible I wanted equal flow between each cylinder and match port

[20vturbo]

I know is enough for me too but for a 100$ I rather do it now then take the whole thing apart again...It's so nice to work on it when that rad support is out of the way

[CO AVANT]

yeah I ported my stock one too. More the intake than the exhaust side right at the openings, not much but definitely cleaner and better flowing. But yeah did more work inside by the valves as well. Did you have to overbore +1mm for the ferrea intake valves?

[20vturbo]

no I have supertech valves they ome in 2 sizes the over bore is for na

[20vturbo]

once you have the timing set do not crank the motor turn it by hand a couple of times If the timing is off by any chance the force of the starter will mess the valves...when you are ready to start disconect injectors and ignition and crank until the oil light goes off, i do this after every oil change, it will push oil everywhere including the turbo

[CO AVANT]

Thanks for the tip. I did already crank the motor by hand, everything lines up perfect...

[20vturbo]

cool do you know where is the mark for the bottom I can't see anything on the sprocket

[CO AVANT]

It's usually not marked with paint or anything similar. Look for a notch in it instead. Kind of like someone taking a little knife scratch/cut to it...

[20vturbo]

I know I found the nothes it's hard to see on the cover for the crank I have to time it with the oem dampener and then put the neuspeed one

[20vturbo]

actually the cooler you see in the picture is for the power steering...I removed the oem one and went with a different one...I have an oil cooler for the engine but is not installed yet

[dougyfresh]

So, you built up a 1.8 with solid internals? Didn't stroke it to go 2.0?

Sounds like it'll be a solid motor. I presume you'll end up with a big turbo?

[20vturbo]

exactly probably a gt30 or a gt 35

[20vturbo]

i did more than building a solid motor I optimised everything for high and swift revs I kept it 1.8 t because I wanted mahle pistons and because the 1.8 likes the high revs more than a 2.0...everything is lighten in the block and balanced for 10000rpms...the valvetrain is also optimised for about 9000rpms....beside block and head there is nothing oem in the engine..this was done to compensate for the lag of a bigger turbo

[CO AVANT]

What compression ratio are you going to run? I got my JE pistons cut at 9:0:1.
For some reason I thought you were going 2.0 stroker as well. A 1.8 will rev quicker, but the 2.0 bore/stroke will spool quicker. I guess both have their advantages and disadvantages... What exactly did you lighten in the block?

[20vturbo]

9.5:1 the crank is eurospec lightweigth knife edged forged crank...mahle pistons I kept the 1.8t because I wanted the quality of the mahle....I heard je are noisy and sometimes the knocks trick the knock sensors..I also have carrillo rods wich were already made in 144mm so i wanted to use those...Going 2 liter would mean diff pistons and rods...The rods I had already and the pistons I got from 034...it was 2 much of a hassle for 200cc Now a 2.2 would be interesting but I had not time and no money to play with that

[20vturbo]

the strength of 1 carrilo rod is rated at 750hp...So I made sure that it won't fly through the block this time
