Tuck&Poke's build thread

[Tuck&Poke]

Yea, I'll figure it out later, once I get the car running and tuned. I dig the status seats, and I want to wrap the interior trim in carbon too which will look good with the carbon fiber seat backs.

Towed the car back to the shop on Thursday to start working on the bay and get the motor in



Cleaned up a little more, there's fucking axle grease EVERYWHERE from all the blown boots this thing has had in its lifetime. Tucked the starter power cable too, gonna ditch the stock fuel lines and make new ones because A. they,re ugly, and B. they cross over under the frame right where my axle is and the axle is rubbing on them. No bueno.



Started plugging up the harness. I forgot how ugly the stock one is sooooo....







I told myself I wasn't gonna do the harness but Jared and I both thought it would be kind of silly to do all this work and not do it right from the get go. Gotta get a bunch of heat shrink so we can start re-looming stuff. Tricky stuff is knowing what you can take out without fucking shit up. Like apparently the N249 needs to stay hooked up to complete a circuit so I'm going to take it off the intake manifold and place it in the raintray. Debating on going eurodyne or Lugtronic for engine management. Haven't really decided yet.

I really dig that Status seat. Depends on what kind of interior look you are going for.

[NeedingAnAudi]

You have to ask? Those s6 seats are incredible!

[scweet14]

Those wheels look beautiful when polished!!!

[Tuck&Poke]

I'm also debating on selling my Status bucket seat and getting S6 Recaro's, they bolt right in...

What I have







What I could buy. They will of course be re-upholstered either way.



Thoughts???

Man, I cannot wait to see a dyno video of this beast!

Alright, so my first attempt at deleting all the vacuum lines and check valves and PCV was using stock tubing and cheap connectors, so it wasn't very pretty and pissed oil everywhere. My AN fittings arrived on Monday



All black, and ordered a bunch of black braided hose too to keep with the black and polished theme. First order of business was PCV. Basically did the same thing I had before but much prettier and more hidden.

Block breather



T'd that, upper hose runs to the valve cover, lower hose dumps out by the oil pan.



Here you can see the valve cover end. You can also see the AN fitting added to the back of the coolant pipe to route to the turbo around the back of the engine. It's not connected properly in that picture, there will be less slack.



Gonna find a clamp to secure this so its not swinging around while driving





This is the coolant line that comes from the coolant pipe, its the return line. Feed line comes from the block.



Also got a black FPR to keep with the theme.


Gonna mount this on the firewall. Hopefully car gets towed back to the shop today so I can keep working on it.

This engine build is awesome

[brsteinbach]

THIS IS SO SICK!!! That engine looks amazing. I want boost!

[244Brick]

Hausspowa!!!!

I need a motor build like that in my life.

[Tuck&Poke]

Some updates. *Got the clutch and flywheel on



Got the valve cover back from hot tanking. *Made sure timing was perfect and put everything on. *Then I had to modify the upper coolant pipe to clear the fuel rail





Had to cut off the engine cover mounting tab and smooth it, cut off the expansion tank hose and welded on an AN fitting where I'm going to put a bleeder to help with filling.



Hard to see but I removed the line on the front of the tube for the turbo water line and welded it shut, then added another AN bung on the back by the coolant flange to run the line around the back of the motor. *Also mounted the turbo and the wastegate.



Made an oil return line flange to mount to the pan



Mounted the transmission and figured out all the AN fittings I need to complete the motor, ordered all that shit, should be here tomorrow. *So this is where I left off

anywhere from 400 to 450 on pump gas, hopefully closer to 450

That's going to be way too much fun. lol

That thing looks like it's going to absolutely rip. What kinda power you looking to make?
