Well engine needed some love , and I intended of giving it to it

Dirty parts are not my thing



So I started washing parts



Look at this side before





And after





Again, didnt go crazy, just wanted to improve the overall result, and also make it nicer to work on

Cleaned the ventilation of the valve cover



Removed this



And I will also remove the crane hook once engine is in for a cleaner look



Spotted more areas that needed attention





So had a go at them too



Better



Looking better already



HPFP cleaned too



New Rollers and belt kit installed



New bearing



And yet a whole new bunch of parts today



New side caps that are separated for easier inspection



New Bov



New plugs and oem wiring that was broken



New crankshaft pulley bolts



Installed



One sidecap installed



second installed



One nipple from the N75 was broken so I took the GT one, which was the same



And also installed my GT A/C Compressor



On another note, I decided to re-do my fog lights in the legit way with this



Came out great, as expected tbh





More to come



Cheers

Thanks guys

So not many things done, mostly parts gathering, and yet still not all is here yet.



Got new Flywheel bolts





More RS4 Parts



Installed my fog lights back on





I still havent sourced the ECU and Gauge Cluster and some more wiring harness that I want. And that is an issue I will have to address if I want to get the car moving again. We shall see.

Cheers

What is more, I think I have found a 3" (76mm) exhaust for my new setup.
Or maybe more than one to choose from , hehe



And, finally, I might have also ordered this . . .

Mishimoto Volkswagen Golf MK5 GTI Performance Aluminum Radiator









Fingers crossed it wont be long till it gets in my hands

I cant believe i have readed all of this haha, but it was worth it, very enjoyable saw your audi thread a long time ago too that has like 400 pages but didnt read all of it haha

[mgpdoc]

First of all some more new things

This one, the plate that goes between engine and transmission, that took 5 days to get here - f*ck it



Fresh Axle Bolts





Spark Plugs



Axle Bolts Connectors



Wheel Hub Bolts



Crank rear seal





Sourced the tacho I was after, with the big MFD screen like I have on the GT



ECU



And took everything apart on the donor car to get what I need more or less



Engine was the lifted, oil changed, oil filter and I gave a bit of love to the block which looks pretty good it seems



Then , changed the crank rear seal

Out with the old



In with the new



Changed this, which was tired and broken





And also installed the RS4 valve



Hopefully more tomorrow, and I hope it wont be long till engine is in my car



Cheers

I think... I think I'm in love with your car :P Looks awesome man, congratulations!

[mgpdoc]

So . . . more updates today.

Received an exceptional package from my friend Andy @ Dazzle-Car .



Got some more boring bolts, for the hpfp and for the side cover too



Transmission was thrown on



And hpfp would be installed next along with some work on the wiring







Fixed all the broken conectors, like this, using of course my beloved tape



Oem style all the way



Then had to remove the oem GT gear linkage system, and replace it with the oem GTI linkage system. In order to do this, I had to release some nuts from the interior of the car. And in order to do that, I had to remove the center console. But to remove that, I had to remove one seat.

RECARO wasnt happy



Result of the above story, is this mess I made. Dont worry, I took it all apart, so I know how everything goes back in



Up it goes



Old ones in situ



Removed



Disconnected



From this



OEM radiator removed



Let's go for a ride



Lift Up





Landed



Secured in place



Me Likey



I also cleaned and modified a GTI OEM engine cover



And threw it on for fun



Not gonna stay there though. LoL.

Cheers, more to come.

So picked up from where we left. More work was done on the car



Coolant tank installed in place

Gear linkage connected



Heater hoses from GT, customised and installed



3in Decat Downpipe installed in place and joined my 2,5in catback which will be replaced when hp increases in the future to come



Didnt like these bolts here



So replaced them with brand new



This little plug here is easy to brake



I did hit it hard while the engine was getting in the engine bay, and although i think it will work . . . I couldnt let it be . . .



Sadly it comes with the whole valve which costs a lot



Damn expensive mistakes I guess.

Can you believe these wire and sockets cost 50euros ?



I know I cant to be honest.

Out with the old tacho





Guess which one goes in



You guessed it correctly





Sit Back and admire what you've done







Then I did some work. No, then I did A LOT of work, on the donor car, exposing the wiring to see what I might or might not need.





There are some plans on how to continue from here on, one plan is taking everything apart from both cars and switching wiring from one to another and not cutting of any kind. The other is to see what is missing from canbus-engine-ecu-interior and just move those. We shall see



Then I cleaned an area in the hood



And started doing work



Took my time, to make sure it will come out perfect





Halfway there



Almost there now



Job Done







Yeap, I think I like it a lot. Hope you do too guys



Cheers

[Nagah]

Despite losing my interest in your Audi A4 (because you went this racecar route) I am totally in with this one. Love the Golf.

Subbed!
