as most know ive rebuilt the other 24v engine and it was ready to fit , and evern thow they look nice and fill a space i decided fit the early 12v mk3 vr6 which u all might have seen eariler in the pic , since then skimed some pistons down to drop compression (save useing a head spacer )

then re fitted all new valves and guides

added the mk4 r32 crank for a stocker engine
fitted new chains and tensionors to be safe
and hd crank bearings and new oil pump/filter
arp conrod bolts
steel 14lb single flywheel and cermic 6 paddle clutch
re built the gearbox
and blasterd sprayed engine
used a few pars from the mk4 r32 engine thermostat houseing/injectors/fan belt tensionor

just hunting for another turbo unit and il then make another tig welded twin scroll manifold and a alloy short runner intake , then hopefully get it runing :thumbs_up

 

[cupracaddy]

lovley work mate keep it up

 

[powernut]

thought id tempory fit , seems i have little more room in the rear

seems like there more room at the rear too
next ill make a shorter runner then new turbo should arrive and make the manifold all fun

 

[powernut]

thought id knock a short runner up to find ive not enoegh room at the front

so that was thown in the scrap
next only thing i caould do is modify the stock intake manifold but keep the runner lengths the same

ill just finish the welding 2moz and do of wireing unit turbo arrives

 

[powernut]

managed to weld rest of the intake and modify the rocker cover too

modifyed the breather and has a better idea with wire gauze and oil splash plate , which should help in boost , what a pain to alloy as the alloy contains very small fragments of hot oil and i assume over the years its contamiated the alloy , but got there in the end

fits a treat nice and air tight []

also saved a good 5inch , so means i dont really have to change the sump , but i think ill make a shorter one

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Looking good pal, keep it up

 

[brightsideteeem]

sweet

 

[powernut]

hi guys well had a bit of free time so thought id make a new coil pack mount
removed the old sensor and filled the old hole up with alloy

lump of 3mm alloy then driled a few holes

then added a 5mm lump of rubber and bolted the coilpack up to the back plate

noticed i left a gape between the timing chain cover and the back plate , save engine heat on the coil pack and added the rubber to keep it cooler ,
injectors re wired, and all engine loom wires alterd , tempord to try a start up 2moz ,,be a tad noisey but should fire up
