1.9 GT30R Build

[pipe7284]

Well, finally got a chance to start working on my forged inernals that had been sitting in my garage for a couple of months now. here are some pics, you all probably have seen many times with your vehicles but why not start your own thread about your build.
some of the first couple of pics have been posted before as well.

here is what i ordered:
gt3076r .64 a/r

ARP Studs for Flywheel?

ARP Studs for Flywheel?
Who sells those? [confused]

Maybe ARP for main caps...

ARP has studs to bolt up the flywheel.[;)]

[mike-2ptzero]

Hey maybe by the time you are ready for that BAT you will be able to go Twin Scroll GT3076r. [:D]

[pipe7284]

well, right now i am droping a gtrs kit (its only temporarily, so if anyone is interested in a couple of months, let me know), then i`ll be getting that gt3076r kit from you Mike.

[Poopie]

Good luck. Post up if you get stuck. I'll help you the best i can.

[317ssayzarc]

Good luck. Post up if you get stuck. I'll help you the best i can.

couldnt have said it any better myself, shoot me and poopman a pm if you need any help [up]

[djwimbo]

Looks good so far.

That looks like a stock snub mount... time for replacement.
and is that a 3" DP?

[kelticslob]

you all probably have seen many times with your vehicles but why not start your own thread about your build.

dude...

The annoying threads are when some faceless teenager posts his/her "new" car, which turns out to be a 97 A4 in silver with no mods and 150,000 miles. Yeah, that's great, you saved my neck muscles from having to look out the window and see the exact same thing.

Threads like this are great. You show off some awesome mods and how much hard work you put into it. Well done.

[Poopie]

are you pulling out the motor? I would put the vavle cover back on so you don't drop anything in the head.

[pipe7284]

POOPIE and 317SSAYZARC I will definately pm you guys if i encounter any problems. thanks for your time and service.

The motor is coming off, the problem is that i wont be using an engine hoist/jack, so i hve to take the head off and then with the help of a frind tke the block out and put it on a stand to swap the rods, bearings.

DJWIMBO--yes that is ATP 3" catdelete, motor mounts including snub ,and tranny mounts will be changed.

And i will post more pics of how everything is coming apart and back together. the entire procedure will be shown.

[Poopie]

that block is still heavy as shit. I think 2 people could do it, but its such a pain in the ass. You can't go to a local rental place and rent one? Its like $50 at a place near me. Pulling out the motor isn't bad, but a hoist is almost required to stab the motor back in.

Maybe he doesn't mind getting herniated disc(s)[rolleyes] Some people are into pain you know.[eek]

Can I has the Ko3 for cheapz?

lol.. actually i remebered that i do have a herniated disc. thanks for reminding me..lol...i guess i`ll hve to find a rental tool shop around me.





Can I has the Ko3 for cheapz?

Sorry mang, I bought another b5 with the gtrs kit and since i`m taking it off to put it in mine, the k03 is going into that other one.

[chris164935]

Harbor Freight sells engine stands for like $50. I would highly recommend getting one.
Also, some recommended/required tools:
12-point Metrics (for ARP rod bolts)
Torque Wrench
VAG 1.8t Head Bolt Socket

As for advice, I've found that the easiest thing to do is pull the transmission with the motor. Unbolt the shift rods from the shift lever inside the car, unbolt the axles, disconnect the driveshaft, and pull engine and tranny as one (unbolt all motor/transmission mounts as well, of course).

[Poopie]

how is that easier then just undoing the bell housing bolts? i used a harbor freight engine stand and it worked great. My friend let me borrow his AC Delco hoist.

[JaVa]

because getting the inputshaft and all the bolts to line up with the tranny is a royal pain in the ass whne you try to put it back in. it not impossible but if you have an engine lift might as well pull the tranny with it its only a few more bolts.

[TQMB5]

yea getting the engine out is the easy part, its lining it up and putting it back in that is a pain in the ass. you definitely are going to want to buy a cheap engine hoist. plan on getting a buddy to help you put it back in.

things you may have forgot.
-rvt sealent for the oilpan
-more coolent
-oil, a couple oil filters
-plastigauge
-rent/buy a block hone

also are you stripping the block? i dont see any main bearings and what not so im assumingyour leaving the crank in. Plan on spending alot of time cleaning up the head/block and setting the ring gap. other then that its pretty easy and quick. gook luck

[Poopie]

my engine slid in with one shot. I have skills. lol

the main reason why the motor is coming off is becasue i have to get the crank out to replace the main bearings. If it was just the rods, there is no need to take the motor out. I am going to harbor fright to see the prices they got on the engine hoist.

[TQMB5]

nice, you taking the block somewhere to get hot tanked and honed then? i love the look of a freshly painted and honed block, makes he wish i had money and time to build a real engine.

side note, is that a new DMFW or is that a LWFW. if its a new stock return it. i spend 500 on a new DMFW and its the worst money i think i have spent on the car to date. get a LWFW in the 12-15 lb range

you lucky bastard. took me and my friend about 45 mins and alot of cursing. the part that was hard is that it sits on angle with the right side up about 20 degrees which is not how the engine wanted to hang.

[Poopie]

you have to get that chain extension that has the angle adjustment =)

[1NaudiA4]

how did you guys hook up the engine hoist to the engine?

[chris164935]

how is that easier then just undoing the bell housing bolts? i used a harbor freight engine stand and it worked great. My friend let me borrow his AC Delco hoist.
Did you drop your subframe? It was the biggest pain in the ass getting the oil pan bell housing bolts off and on. Not to mention, why fight with the tranny in the car to get it to line up properly with the engine? You might have gotten lucky the one time you did it, but experience has shown, for me anyway, that it's just easier overall to pull the tranny and engine as one.


how did you guys hook up the engine hoist to the engine?
We pulled the head off and hand tightened some head bolts with the chains around them and lifted the motor that way. The hole by the engine code on the head can also be used to hoist the motor. I believe we've also hoisted the engine by the motor mount brackets.

[Poopie]

did not drop the sub frame. I've done a bunch if clutch jobs so i know my way around the bell housing. Its definitely easier to remove the bell housing bolts compart to 3 sets of drive shaft axles, shift linkage, and mounts. For the hois, use the two holes on the head. there is a hole where the fuel lines are clipped into this plastic piece and one hear the engine code.

[fikes]

Man I really want to do a engine build. Depending on how much cash I got going for me this summer I might do it before I put a bigger turbo on. My biggest problem is not having the tools or a full knowledge of how to build a engine. Thats why poopie and bassed live close by :)

[317ssayzarc]

very nice progress man! [up]

make sure you clean the grooves out on those pistons... how many miles on those?

and btw, my prefered method of cleaning pistons is to let them sit in a stripping solution like e-z strip for a bit then use some #0000 steel wool to clean em up... then a razor blade for the ring grooves... just my .02 [up]

[20A4Audi1.8t01]

posted on FG but ill post in here too looks great man keep it up!

Since i have the head going out to the machine shop to ahve it serviced and cleaned, i will take the pistons as well.

Well I guess I better call them up to make some more so they can have them in stock again. [:D]

[Nebone]

Bug bites again. This looks to be another fast moving project like Poopie and Clint.

[pipe7284]

Yo Mike, so far whats the count on the B5 BAT population?

[Monster Stealth]

Looks good, cant wait to see the fruits of your labor!

[Eurotuned_A4]

very nice progress. how long did this take you?

[pipe7284]

^^^to unhook it off the tranny and mount it on the engine mount?....mmmm...like a coule of hours.

since i first started taking the engine apart from the first day?....three days, spending only 2-3 some times 4 hours a day.

[Eurotuned_A4]

not that bad then. yeah, hopefully i can get all my parts and start my engine work within a year. graduating from college this june, so hopefully ill be getting my own house first which will slow down the progress on the car....which i dont mind. i could do this right now, but im saving up for when i get my own place. furniture isnt cheap....lol. grats though. all these threads are making me excited about doing this eventually.

[mike-2ptzero]

Yo Mike, so far whats the count on the B5 BAT population?

Not sure how many there are at this point but I helped increase the # by 5 just just in the last 3 months.

[pipe7284]

question:

does the rods have to be installed certain way to the piston? does both of the ridges on the rod and the cap of the rod to connect to the crank have to be on the same side? i totally forgot to look while taking the old ones off.

[Wizard-of-OD]

Did You Install Arp Lube Onto That Bearing!?

[pipe7284]

yes i sure did

[317ssayzarc]

yes i sure did

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

[317ssayzarc]

get some proper assembly lube, aka not the kind to stretch bolts with, and clean off that bearing with some brake clean or something.... i think even NAPA has some different assembly lubes you could use... i just got mine from the guy at the machine shop, this bottle has another motor left in it and ive already done 3 with it!

[94jedi]

wow Felipe!!! Congrats man!!! can't believe you're doing this all on your own too!!! Good job bro!

[chris164935]

I think you need to buy my new lifters and uprated valve springs for this motor. [:D]

thanks man. i try my best. is something that i really like. and the more i do it, the more i like it.

[Eurotuned_A4]

man, i cant wet to do this stuff to me engine. I've never done this work on an engine before, but i love to learn. good job on the progress!

[Poopie]

whats wrong with the ARP assembly lube?

It might cause premature wear on the bearings. That ARP stuff that came with the rods is for the bolts.

[317ssayzarc]

whats wrong with the ARP assembly lube?

that lube is for stretching the bolts correctly, not for bearing lubrication... the bearing lube isnt a grease, its more like a gear lube... you can tell ones smoother by rubbing it in your fingers, its all up to you but id suggest against it... i did the same thing you did to an engine when i was in engines class in school, my teacher said no way, and told me to compare the two to see the difference, i did but never asked him why...

takes some more time, but its worth it to do it right the first time [up]

[pipe7284]

[Poopie]

you checked your clearences and stuff right? like piston wear and bearing clearences?

[SilverB5A4]

This is making me anxious to get my spare block and start tinkering, i already have my head done and just sitting in my closet :)

[pipe7284]

small update, while changing seals and gaskets that came with the ovehoul kit, a small nipple came off somewhere from the oil cooler but i dont know exactly from where here are some pics.

Thats from inside your oil filter housing.Remove your oil filter housing....why did you even remove that to begin with?

[pipe7284]

Issam i`m not understanding you. where does it go again? i took it off since i was painting the block.

[the_pirate]

wow you got a lot of work on your hands my friend! thanks for taking time out next weekend to swap suspension! i wish i had the know how to do something like this....or better yet the time to learn!

[pipe7284]

yeah, my hands are full. I started putting everything together again. Well, the rods and pistons are in. It was too dark and i stopped. We`ll see next week whats gonna be done.

[317ssayzarc]

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff52/crazyass713/0228081423.jpg

mine fell out too, i put some locktite on it and put it in again... it goes into the back of the oil filter flange like Issam said [up]

[pipe7284]

^^^^damn i am so ignorant...can you please show me a pic of the oil filter flange.
and which side goes in first.

[317ssayzarc]

pull the oil filter flange off by taking the 3 allen bolts out, then look at the back of the flange (the side that mates to the block), there will be one hole that has threads for that peice to go into, and lastly you need to tighten it by the triple square side

[pipe7284]

^^^oohh I see. I am a fucking dumbass.
thanks

lol

[317ssayzarc]

its all good http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff52/crazyass713/cheers.gif

[A4ringedONE8T]

If you did as I explained on FG with the lube, you should be good to go! You'll know real quick after startup if you did it right or not! [:)]

[pipe7284]

Shawn, i did exactly what you told me. I got ass. lube and got some in my hand and whiped the cyl walls.

Another update 4-22-2008

WOw man!!! Good luck. ITs really looking good. can wait to see some footage of it when it starts!

[G-low]

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff52/crazyass713/0228081423.jpg

what does it do???

[317ssayzarc]

i think its an anti drain back valve... its a one way valve that keeps the oil in the block after shut down instead of allowing it to drain out... this allows for quicker oil pressure buildup on startup [up]

[G-low]

im pretty sure i found one when i put my motor back together and for the life of me could not figure out where it went anyone got a picture on where it goes cause needless to say i did not put it back in i sure hope it hasnt been doing anything bad to my motor while its been out

[pipe7284]

^^^you have to pull your oil cooler off of the block, there is a small, same diameter, hole on the cooler to screw it in.

[Wizard-of-OD]

Give a man a rod and he can fish for himself.I am proud of you Jacob[up]

[G-low]

what will it affect if its not in? any idea?? cause now i cant find the damn thing i kept it aside forever seeing as im not driving my car now i cant find it im so F'in pissed ....probably can just buy that piece either knowing audi

[317ssayzarc]

not sure of the effects it may have but it cant hurt and could only help... i may be able to find you one... i know of many AEB shortblocks laying around [:D]

[pipe7284]

I need an AEB head in running condition...asap...pm me if you have one, or can get me one, or knows someone that have one.

[Don Supreme]

What happened to your head?

[G-low]

if you could find one that would be awesome im gunna try and see if i can buy one but who knows how thats gunna go

[pipe7284]

What happened to your head?

Well, remember the laser red 99 A4 i bought? It had bent valves, so the head i had on the black a4 i put on the red a4 to get it running since my car is sitting in pieces in the garage. I took the other head to get the valves replaced and i was told that it was a $1000 job. 8 exchaust valves bent, 8 intake valves bent, on of the cams is damaged and need a knew one, all seal on the valves need to be replaced, so i would rather buy another head and pay half that price.

[mike-2ptzero]

Well you better get that thing ready because there is a yellow van heading your way with a package. [:D]

[chris164935]

Hmmm... Best I could find for ya:
http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3794233

However, you might be able to find some valves and a bare head for cheap and I can supply you with cams, lifters, springs, retainers and stem caps. [up]

I took the other head to get the valves replaced and i was told that it was a $1000 job. 8 exchaust valves bent, 8 intake valves bent, on of the cams is damaged and need a knew one, all seal on the valves need to be replaced, so i would rather buy another head and pay half that price.

How the hell did a cam get damaged?

If you are going BAT. I would just spend the money to have that head rebuilt.

Buy a set of aftermarket, UPGRADED valves like supertech for $450-500 + springs $200 + labor $400.

It might cost you $1200 - $1500, but at least you will be able to safely rev it and have a 100% working head (All valves sealing properly, new valve guides, and new valve seals) than buying a used head with 100K on it for a performance build.

[G-low]

i have a AEB head that does run but the webbing inbetween 2 of the exhust valves on cylinder 2 has been chipped off from when i broke a valve i had everything replaced but the cylinder wouldnt hold high enough PSI

anyways its a complete head with everything in it(cams, chain tensioner, valves, lifters) that you could use for replacement parts instead of buying everyhting new

anyone got any use for the parts??

[Don Supreme]

^ How did you break the valve... revved too high and dropped a valve or just TB failure?

[a4_1.8t_01]

Theres an AEB head in the classifieds. Not mine but check it out.

[G-low]

it was a combo of heat / over rev.
some new valve seats and the head should be fine.
the shop i used to have replace the valves is garbage come to find out. and i came across another head while it was there and just used that. havent had a chance to source another shop thats reputable

[pipe7284]

^^^pm sent.

Mike, you are definately doing your part to increase the BAT population. I`ll post picks when i recieve the package.

[pipe7284]

I found an AEB cylinder head with ~40k miles. all i need to do on that one is change 4 intake valves. which i can get off of the other head that i had. I got that one for $200, and since he was parting out the car for another $200 i got 4 black door panels, drivers side door (complete), and rear passanger window regulator.
thanks everyone who helped me find the head.

[pipe7284]

o-oh look what i just got today!!!!!

[biketsai]

very nice, love the license plate too

[pipe7284]

^^^lol i like it too, thats why i put it on there with the rest of the stuff.

[pipe7284]

well, the head is ready for assembly, can someone please tell me how does the the camshafts go when putting it back together?

[t1demont1]

yeah, i just had thi problem too. If I buy your rims, I could actually give you a hand in putting the cams back on, but here:

Basically, theres tdc marks on the rear of the cams, these marks must be 16 teeth apart, then the caps by the sprockets on the cams have an arrow on them. This arrow must line up with the tdc marks on the cam. the caps must have the numbers facing toward the intake side of the head. Tighten caps #2&4 on the cams, then move on to the rest. and I almost forgot, oil everything, put oil on the cam, on the caps, on everything. Or else youll be in for a nice dry start

[pipe7284]

^^^pm sent.

[mike-2ptzero]

Well I hope you get it back together soon, cant wait to see that turbo setup get bolted up.

[pipe7284]

^^^^i cant wait either. its been long enough.

[kevin12]

I've been following your thread since the beginning and have read through the entire thing ha. But I don't think I have come across what you're doing for tuning? Have you decided what your going with? And also just wanna say sick build [up] can't wait to see it all finished and running! [drive]

[pipe7284]

^^^^tuning will be a custom tune from Greg@SSP tuning.

[pipe7284]

little update:

I just ordered new motor mounts to install the block back on the car, new TT225 maf housing, and in the process of getting the turbo lines.

Also, thanks to Brenden, known here as "t1demont1" who did this beautiful work on my intake manifold.

Negative, Greg will be installing the software he did for my set up and will be sending me back the ECU ready to plug in, then i`ll have to do some logs and see how it looks and tweeks need to be done he will take care of it.

oohhh yeah, my baby is gonna be ready for fixxfest (cross fingers), the only thing that can probably hold me back is the ECU. Greg@SSPTuning is still waiting for the sockets from Germany to solder to my ecu so he can upload the file.

[pipe7284]

Well, decided to swap brakes with my girl. She had the ECS stg2 V2 BBK which i just installed on my B5, which will need it more than her GTRS powered A4. I will upgrade her brakes later after my car is complete. here are some pics:

I have a dilema. I know that when doing a clutch job you have to put some "white" marks on the flywheel and on the pressure plate to reinstall the correct way, but that is only if you are not changing flywheels. In my case i did change flywheels. How in hell do i know if my pressure plate is installed correctly after installing the new flywheel? thanks in advance.

New flywheel

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p148/pipe7284/STP61588.jpg

[Poopie]

The flywheel only mounts in one way. If you look at the flywheel pic, in the 6 and 7 oclock position there are two holes that are closer together then the rest. Use this as a reference when bolting up the flywheel.

Your car is coming along!

[317ssayzarc]

its only going to go on one way my friend [up]

[pipe7284]

I know the flywheel will only go one way, the flywheel is bolted on already, i am talking about the pressure plate.

[317ssayzarc]

doesnt matter, dont worry about that... [up]

[pipe7284]

ok kool!!! thanks

[mike-2ptzero]

Doesn't matter. Just make sure when you start installing the clutch bolts that you don't tighten one at a time, you want to tighten each one a little at a time so the pressure plate goes down evenly till it touches the flywheel.


BTW when you stacked the clutch/pressure plate on the flywheel did the dowels go into the hole or did they sit just below the hole and which flywheel is that?

[pipe7284]

they sit below the hole and the went into the hole as the pressure palte was being tightened.
the flywheel i purchased from bitterchild, it is a 18 lbs steel single mass flywheel. i really dont remember any more specs of the item. I erased the message that bitterchiled sent me with the info of this flywheel.

Most likely the South Bend 20 lbs billet steel flywheel. Looks just like the one on their site.

[t1demont1]

damn bro, why dont you have that head on yet?

[pipe7284]

Remember that i dont have a crane/hoist to lift the entire engine and drop it in. I am lifting it with a friend, so i have to install the motor on two stages: first the block, then the head.

[t1demont1]

oh yeah, forgot

Sweet. You'll be happy you did.

I'm starting to appreciate the turbo 4cyl longitudinal's a lot more this week. Swapping turbos on a customer's 2.7T A6 sucks. In a flat rate world I'm getting my ass kicked.

You need the security torx to remove the two screws / bolts holding in the sensor, or just do like I did and carefully remove them with a vice grip.

that is the pancake valve pipe. I need a small filter to put on it. and the dump tube will be on after i get the hot side resolved.

Is there another way of logging air/fuel ratios throughout the rpms?

Do you already have the AEM wide band? If not you might want to look at getting a kit from Innovate or the Zen. Both of those companies have products that allow for logging. You could also try finding someone that is selling a LM1 setup, if you get one I have the RPM cable that I am no longer using.

[JumboBlack1.8]

Theres a guy on Vwvortex under the name Turdfarmer thats selling an XD-16 Innovative wideband kit for around $250 shipped, i think.....i run the same thing and just installed it. It looks and works great. Can datalog too!....sell that AEM and pick up the Innovative, if u can

The gauge itself retails for $229. The full kit with that gauge which includes the sensor and LC1 goes for $399. So I dont think anyone is going to be selling it for $250 shipped, maybe $350.

I dont think that kit will record RPM though.

Do you mean the gauge or just the wide band sensor the AEM uses?

Plenty of shops still carry the LM1, I know Scott of USRT still had them during Waterfest. The problem is that the LM1 is no longer produced since Innovate replaced it with the new LM2. You might be able to find some used LM1's on Ebay.

I had talked to him a while back before I found the deal, and he said he would sell it for $250, just cuz he's been tryin to sell it for a while....Get in touch with him if u really want it

Oh a used setup, I thought you were talking about a brand new still in the box kit.

LOL...you really want her to shoot me?

[pipe7284]

ok, already installed the wideband, noe i nee to figure out hoe i install my greddy EBC with an external wastegate and still with the N75 valve. a diagram would be helpfull but if you can explain in detail, thanks

[AudiA4_20T]

why would you ever want to run an EBC with the N75?

If you are going EBC just ditch the N75. Leave the N75 harness plugged in and wire tie it somewhere out of the way.


You cant use both the N75 and EBC to control boost if that is what you are talking about. They just do it 2 different ways.

EBC uses pressure on both sides to keep the wg closed, then cuts the pressure off in the hose that goes to the top of the wg causing the pressure in the line to the side of the wg to pop it open. The N75 and MBC keep the pressure from going to the WG, then sends the pressure to open the wg once the pressure hits a set point.



Greddy EBC install
Pressure hose to a Y splitter, one end goes to the side of the wg and the other to the "in" (NC) side of the EBC step motor. The "out" (COM) side of the EBC step motor goes to the top of the wg.

For a internal wg actutor you end up using the NO port instead of the NC.

So i dont have to open a small port on the TIP like the N75 was connected in stock mode?

[mike-2ptzero]

No you dont. If you leave it out of the TIP you dont even need to loop the other 2 openings on the N75.

really? I didnt know that, do we even need the n75 plugged in? So the only thing that we need on a inlet pipe is the dv reroute?

You need to have the N75 plugged into the harness, other wise the ECU freaks out.

[t1demont1]

okay, i figured... i just didnt know it doesnt even need to be in the tip

[ahaters46]

hater

[JumboBlack1.8]

U done with this thing yet man? i'm DYIN to see some videos......I wish I had gone balls out on my build and gotten a GT30r like u did

[pipe7284]

ECU should be getting here today or manday.

cant wait either

[t1demont1]

finally WTF tooks so long.

[pipe7284]

^^^^I dont wanna brag about the tuning company, he`s a kool guy, he ran into some problems and had to put aside my ECU for a while. What matters now is that is already in the mail!!!!!!! woot woot

[t1demont1]

sweet, so is this a basline tune hes gonna need to modify, or is this good to go?

[JumboBlack1.8]

So I'm assuming everything is put back together, and ur just waiting on the tune??

I think you should take this opportunity to show off your finished engine bay (i just love seein that manifold....lol). How'd you fab up your intake and intercooler piping and what not.....lets see it!

[pipe7284]

Yeah its a base tune, that he`ll have to modify. at least the car will be running again.


I`ll post pics when i get home!!!!

[t1demont1]

first start vids, lets go felipe! I want to see this thing as fixxfest

[t1demont1]

btw did you loctite your crank and cam sprocket bolts?

[pipe7284]

On the crank bolts i used new ARP bolts and studs. on the cam i just tightened them to specs.

[t1demont1]

no no, the bolt that holds the timing belt sprocket on the crank, and the bolt that holds the timing belt cam sprocket to the cam

[pipe7284]

oh i see which ones, NO.

[quattro16]

You dont need loctite but it helps. If there torqued to spec you'll be fine.

[1fstavant]

vids or pics...lets see em

[JumboBlack1.8]

vids or pics...lets see em

I second that!

[t1demont1]

My cam bolt backed out cause it wasnt loctited, and i had it tqed

[pipe7284]

^^^Brenden i guess you were SOL. lol hahahaha....

[t1demont1]

yeah somethin to that effect lol atleast when it happened, i was only like 5 mins away. Hooked a tow strap from my dads work van to the audi and pull the beast home. free tow lol

[pipe7284]

Is your car running already ?

[t1demont1]

thowing the head on in the morning, got busy today... but the head is done and ready to be thrown in the car. shes commin back :D

[pipe7284]

Nice, i get my ECU today, HOPEFULLY!!!! and she`s ready to crank up and get ready for fixxfest 2008

[pipe7284]

Well, good news, te ecu finally arrived!!!!

Well, today after class around 9:30 pm, decided to install the ecu and crank the car on (couldnt wait til tomorrow, was too eager)
it took a little time to start running, but it finally ran, BUT it died after a couple of seconds, maybe a min, of running by itself. I will upload some short vids for you guys to see the first start.

sorry for not posting vids right away, was to eager to tell you guys....coma back later or early tomorrow for the vids.

[t1demont1]

felipe show the vids NOW son

[pipe7284]

I lost my damn Vag-Com cable so i can scan for codes. Brenden can i borrow yours?


BTW one thing i noticed was that there is no vacuum on the turbo. Looks at the boost gauge while it idles. the needle just sits right below 0.
