  • Hello there.

    Hello from Greece again.



    Bought these





    To pick up from where we left, and play with engine mounts



    The idea, to remind you, and me too, was to use some custom billet spacers between the engine block and engine mounts.



    Bolted down the studs, in 10x1,25 pattern and started test fitting for the first time



    Not so far off the lower OEM audi place that the engine mount bolted onto







    We can use this piece of aluminum, to join the two sides, and also put some teflon in the mid area to give some ability to the engine to have some play - lol



    Passenger's side

    oem engine mount



    Spacer on (not its final shape or weight obviously)





    Seems like more cutting to be done on this side





    Need to finalise the engine position, and then go from there

    Cheers more to come

    Cheers

    • Hell yeah! I've read this thread over a million times on Audizine and loved every detail. I also have a B7, it's my daily, so it's really cool seeing all the work you are putting into yours. Keep up the good work!

                      • So, time to catch up the latest news in the blue Audi story, for those of you following the build either here, in other forums, or on instagram ( @mgpdoc )

                        The car has been transformed, as you know to RS4 OEM widebody, since September of 2013. It has been almost 2,5 years now, that the car has been sitting in the garage, waiting for me, Tom, to put some work on installing the 2JZ on it, along with many other goodies, both supra related and not, that I have bought for it.

                        Increase in Everyday work, side projects, like my Golf mkv that went from daily, to Tfsi, to GTx3076, or like my new AUD1ESEL that also got attention, as well as hesitation in fabrication work, resulted in this being postponed month after month, with little progress to show.

                        My golf is now almost ready, both in terms of interior custom alcantara trim work, as well as engine work, with the GTx3076 pushing on the forged Tfsi, a good 35psi. All that it needs is a 4wd system from S3 / TT-RS / Tiguan, something that will happen sometime soon I guess







                        My A1 Diesel, is also on a good path, and heading towards the direction I want it to, with a good look on the exterior, and a custom interior on the works, along with other touches, making it a great daily, but also a nice car to travel with









                        That said, Tom had an idea. He thought why not give the 1.8T another shot on something different before we installed the 2JZ.
                        Why not push it somewhat more, and see if it can touch 4-digit-figures, and still be able to be driven from point A to B.
                        I kinda dig the idea to be honest, and lost no time. Decisions were made, and Tom started making lists of things needed.

                        Sad part is, that I sold my cylinder head, and most ironic is, i had it almost 2 years listed on ebay, and it got sold, about a week before we decided building the 1.8T again. Oh well. I guess we will have to build one again. For those of you wondering, I still have the 2JZ in my garage.

                        Some shots of the blue Audi build then.

                        Hello little engine.



                        Sitting there, for quite some time, thinking it was forgotten. No, sadly for it, wasnt.



                        Oil Pan removed feeling sorry for itself





                        Removing more stuff



                        We were also curious to see the condition of crank, and internals after all this mileage, boost, etc



                        No drama here



                        They will all go for sale







                        Continuing with the disassembly



                        Crank was out



                        Insert beer and greek souvlaki where necessary



                        Crank will be kept, propably will be staying 1.8T and not 2.0T



                        Looking good



                        Called it a night



                        Then, started ordering more parts, after the ones I showed you in the previous update

                        New engine block crank plate







                        New dip stick assembly







                        I also ordered a cylinder head from Germany, which I will inspect prior to using, and some more parts as well.

                        Stay tuned.

                        Cheers

                            Well the turbo will be the same i would use on the 2JZ
                            That should be interesting, hehe

                            Cheers mate

                            • Sourced a head



                              Didnt look to clean to begin with





                              But it said it had low mileage on it compared to others on egay



                              Removing dirty bolts





                              And then them cams and lifters



                              It even had some spark plugs on it



                              Pile of parts is getting bigger



                              Will check the cylinder head on the machine shop and see if it will be used



                              Cheers

                              More to come

                              • Got me an AEB intake manifold from Germany

                                excuse the cell phone pics



                                Big Port Official test-passed





                                It was awesome how good this was, look how it cleaned after just a wipe-down with some apc and a microfiber cloth





                                Not how these usually are after all these years

                                Pile of dirty used parts is getting bigger





                                Merry Christmas to all of you

                                Cheers
