Heres some of what i did this week
before powder coat
after powdercoat
the pump all sealed up.I dropped off the pistons at the shop today.They said the magnaflux showed no cracks
Actually it's output is 13.4 hp, but I have thought of doing the same using a 3 phase motor.... imagine 3 phase power
this is from a kit i bought as a whole specifically for t3,when i got it i didnt have the brass 4 way(didnt see it in box) :oops: which led to some confusion ,but everything is all good now.I still had to use some otherfittings to go to the turbo housing,so it wasnt really a full kit,but it also came with some gasket type fittings which i guess some t3s have instaed of the straight 12mm fitting.
Hallman boost controller,i got this real cheap on ebay,ive seen them listed for quite abit.
this is the t3 with some fittings i put together,i still have to retap the 1/4in pipe fitting to 12mm
And this bad boy will find its way in the trunk. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Im picking up my block tommorrow ,and the fun will begin.Is this the proper way to do a build thread :oops: ,or should i wait and post it all at once?It seems like it would be more pleasant if it were togther.But then again im rather impatient.
SWEET! Looks yummy!
How much for the block service? I have a TDI block that needs done here soon!
Brendan
The block is bored 40 over with .0015"wall clearance My guy said.001 was way to tight for me.He said i knew just enough to be dangerous. :twisted: hes right!
The spec is 0.0012" with a wear limit of 0.003", so both of you are as right as the other !
At my shop it was $230 for a blueprinted 4 clyinder engine.It included all the measuring,magnaflux(for finding cracks),bake n blast(cleaning),and bore and hone.
I always thought that they dipped the blocks.My guy said that thats so old school that no one even does it anymore. :oops: Im glad its all said and done.Very happy.
How come there is no injectors in your head?
oh wait i know why! :roll:
almost done!
Duane
hey is that a automatic tranny i see in one of thos pics.?
ha ha thats funny!!
Duane what do you think about start up without a radiator and coolant for like 15 seconds??
i would prime the oil first! with a drill before i would do that! even stick needlenose vicegrips on the turbo so turbo don;t spin dry at first!
Duane
So you are using an intake with the d-shaped ports on a 1.6?
