• Is that a rubber line clamped to a metal one, or a rubber line clamped to the the old once rubber line?

  I Certainly HOPE it roars! im planning on big exhaust.
  to answer your question it depends on when i can make a downpipe...
  I have to use my friends welder and he's seeing his ex again which means he never wants to hang out  :roll:

  Sorry, what are you refering to?
  
  If you're talking about that line that goes over the top of the head it's just the cold start cable moved out of the way....

  Hes talking about the fuel line.

• *quote*And last but certainly not least, my ported, gasket matched, ALH intake ready to pwn. Notice the BOV delete  I reccomend this swap for an AAZ head. I had to modify the elbow though. I put a silicone elbow on it that you can swivle for any intercooling possitioning you want. It's totally versitile. I added a lip too for a better seal.
  *end quote*
  What did you do to accomplish this. This is a different intake than mine and just wondering what you did to delete the BOV.

• Too cool Ed!
  
  Not even my car and I'm really looking forward to hearing you say "its alive!"
  
  Good job man, glad you have stuck with it.

  I bought an ALH intake and cut the top piece off with a hack saw, then i smoothed it all out with a dremel tool.
  
  You have to cut a couple other little nobs off that aren't nessisary (that are used on the ALH engine) I might have a picture im just looking Hmm i don't I'll use prothe's
  
  
  
  I hope that makes sense. So you have to cut off that support arm and then cut the top off (or else it conflicts with the turbo outlet). I just put the silicon elbow that my 1.6 intake already had on there. It is astonishingly bigger than the 1.6td. And if you look at that intake with a 1.6td intake beside it you'll notice something very obvious (there is no BOV hole), that's why i chose this intake.

  It is a clear (orange tint?) line clamped into a rubber line so I can see if there are bubbles coming from the fuel filter.

• well here is it... the first start up.
  No turbo, no lda.
  I only ran it until it would idle on it's own but the sound frightened me so much that i shut it off before it got hot. Started so fast though!!!  :shock: Totally alien experience for me...
  
  I don't know what i should expect the exhaust to sound like coming straight out of the down pipe like that but it was a loud popping sound... like a beefy tractor or something... very beefy sound. The video even in the quality i recorded it in filters out the scary sound. It was LOUD.... and it was idling rough... I gave it a bit of gas and it sounded so frighting i dare not do it again!
  Lots of black smoke too because of no turbo boost im guessing?
  
  What does seating rings sound like? what does new valves sound like? what does exhaust straight out of the down pipe sound like?
  
  I really want to run it, till it's hot and then re-torque but im scared i was ruining it. It sounded very uniform, no odd out bursts...
  but man was it ever loud... idle im guessing was at about 800-900rpm (my tach isn't done yet)
  
  Needed some help from a full battery
  
  The idle...
  
  Gave it some pedal (very little)
  
  
  the video. I apologize if it's really loud. You may want to turn your speakers down?
  
  
  Does that look normal? im a total noob with this stuff as i hope (if you're reading this, this is true;) you already know that.
• #132 by dillenger1 on 08 Jan, 2009 16:34
• It sounds fine eddy.With no turbo it will be loud as hell.Ive got a 2 1/2"straight pipe and its not that loud.The turbo is a great muffler.I mean, just imagine being next to small grenades going off.thats pretty much what you have.
• #133 by Smokey Eddy on 08 Jan, 2009 16:35
• well the turbo is there! it's just not connected to the intake...
  your re-assurance just slowed my heart rate by about 40bpm
  
  Is it the cetane booster that is making the white or really bad nozzles or is that normal too?
• #134 by dillenger1 on 08 Jan, 2009 16:47
• the white smoke is the rings not set yet as well as you needing more advance.dont let it idle for long,warm up is ok,but you wanna be able to seat the rings(full load)If you glaze the walls it will just take longer. it sounds ok still without a downpipe i guess.like you said no irregular noises.You need to advance it.
