And a crap load more i cant remember. hope u like
well finally, after tearing down my 1.6 TD almost a year ago, i am putting it back together, i have spent well over $6,000 on the motor alone, my goal for this project is to build a very reliable fuel efficient vehicle for daily duty, and still be fun to drive, but not sacrificing fuel mileage for power.
first i started by taking my block and head to Air Cooled Engines Plus, a local VW machine shop that is amazing, he hot tanked my block, bored and honed it 20 over, cleaned it, and put new intermediate shaft bearings in, polished and balanced the crank, rods, pistons, flywheel and lightened it, ceramic coated and dry film lubricated, my new Kolbenschmidt pistons, ported, polished and ceramic coated my exhaust manifold, Passenger Performance downpipe, turbo housing, which the turbo is being rebuilt by G Pop shop. I also just sent my intake manifold to Passenger so they can make the bad azz one they make.
he reworked the head, with new bronze valve guides, new stainless steel valves, radius cut valve seat, with a performance grind, ported and flow tested to flow 25% over stock without losing velocity, i will post the flow sheets showing stock to now in a few days. the head was then milled then cleaned.
i have ARP hardware, a Spec stage 2 clutch, built injection pump, GTD injectors, windage tray, 36 mm oil pump, Good German bearings and gaskets, srt-4 neon front mount intercooler, Egt gauge and probe from Aircraft spruce, all new belts, hoses, accessories, glow plugs, relocated battery to trunk to have more room for intercooler piping, and anything else that is a wear item was replaced. here are some pics, i hope to have it running soon, let me know what you think.
:twisted:
