EXCELLENT update sir.

[andybob]

Hell yes. Looks good man.

New oil pickup since my other one was trashed from the last broken pan.



Got the compressor housing polished since I got it in pretty rough shape.



Also got my Integrated Engineering crankcase breather AN adapter.



Mocked it up to see what its gonna look like and make sure the 44mm wg wont have any clearance issues since the manifold was originally designed for a 38mm



Setting timing



Got the fuel rail polished too, left my fuel rail spacers at home though. *I fucking **** these injectors.



Final shot of the day, got most of the accessories on too. *I can't wait to drive this thing.

[andybob]

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

[Tuck&Poke]

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

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

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

[andybob]

I need a motor build like that in my life.

Hausspowa!!!!

[brsteinbach]

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

[Arteeste]

This engine build is awesome

[Tuck&Poke]

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.

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

[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???

Those wheels look beautiful when polished!!!
