Comments:-
Picked this up as an unfinished project, enjoy the progress.
Pics that sold it to me:-
Day one:
despite the potential onset of rain, I ploughed on with the car! now got the G40 ecu, G40 engine loom and Mk3 Engine loom re-wrapped and fitted, with oem holes through the bulkhead. Throttle cable fitted, exhausts all fitted (but badly needs a new tailpipe - dtm upswept ftl!) Intercooler is mounted and radiator trial fitted. Sound deadening stripped from the interior and mk3 in-tank fuel pump fitted
So that leaves me with a few jobs left when I get back after the weekend. Fit fuel pump, lines and loom, block off BRV, fit dump-valve, plumb turbo oil lines, fit intercooler pipes, fit rad and plumb in, bleed brakes, mount boost guage, brap and mot!
oh and holesaw vents for intercooler in front-panel.
no piccies unfortunatly bar this one, from when it arrived in the morning, as me phone b82res is dead!
after taking a two week sabbatical on the cars and playing all the xbox games id missed, I thought id jump back on it!
turbo feed line fitted
oil drain line measured up so I can order a suitable hose
intercooler mounting brackets sprayed
intercooler fitted
mk2 g40 oem boost hose
routing for turbo to intercooler, gotta get a 57->51mm 90 degree bend boost hose
trusty friend holesaw made suitable venting for the intercooler
refitted bumper
some other piccies
things left to do
gotta sort out the cooling system this week, starting with my choice of rad, as space is rather limited, along with getting the appropriate fittings for the turbo
fit oil cooler, thermostatic plate, new vag oil filter and oil change
fit painted fuel pump bracket, and source mk3 fuel lines
bleed brakes
extend boost piping to throttle body
fit dump valve
spent the last few days measure bits up (hoses, rads etc) to finish off the boost hosing, turbo water lines and rad.
fitted the goodridge braided hoses but managed to dethread the rear solid brake line to the drum, itll only cost a few quid to replace so all is goood! once thats done, ill be bleeding the system with some dot 5.1 fluid.
think ill be sticking my koenig buckets and blue scroth harnesses in too
After last weeks researchin sesh, got a load of parts ordered to complete the puzzle so ill be gettin over to the unit to fit them all when they do.
recut the thread on one of the braided hoses, fitted mk3 fuel lines (thanks to o1mlacey) still need the ones to the lift pump though if anyone can help.
Arun (phataz1) also cut me some holes in the dash for mounting the guages and mounted the fuel pump bracket. Weve just gotta tack a couple of studs to the rear chassis leg for two of the mounting rubbers to finish that off.
Gonna try my hand at welding up the battery tray too, my first attempt but about time I gave it a go!
What are peoples thought on the colour coded arches? I want to take them back to black and put some gti black strips on the lower swage line
Got a solid brake line made up on sunday, fitted it today, along with the last goodridge braided hose and bled the system up with dot 5.1
Few bits turned up today,
Seal for the thermostatic plate, so fitted that along with a vw oil filter and the oil lines. Just gotta mount the cooler.
Boost hoses and alloy pipes came and they accidentally send two alloy pipes! Winner! Came in handy too.
Set azbar on the job of fitting all the boost hoses, all fits snugly
Back up to the unit as soon as the rad and turbo water line fittings arrive in the post!
