Starting a turbo build...Videos of it running :D

[theman53]

yeah look back on page 5...the hole was biggend and welded. Yeah it was bad. I was going to go out this morning to the farm and work, but it is the little ones 5th birthday party and the wife frowned on it

[macka]

jeez, thats a gap. Wives always frown, its in their job description

[theman53]

Yeah I understand her point and I want to be here too. I could have done both though. I might work on something yet today. I still need to find an argon bottle-cheaper that is.

Driver side welded.
I need to weld in a fender portion on the pass. rear and a hole in the pass. floor pan and I believe the welding will be done. I would also like to weld the holes shut on the part of the rear fenders that hold that plastic peice. Then use filler to level it out.

Then I think I am going to figure out what to do with the paint on it. I would like just to take it back close to the factory finish. 20 plus years of road and it has chips all over it...not to mention a giant hole in the passenger rear fender I am going to weld up.

I took the crank out of the engine last night and to the machinists today. Having it cut for the D sprocket so if I get enough cash to setup a serp system or have a big audio setup I won't have any crank issues.

Should pull the old engine and trans this weekend if the tractor is there. I would like to split them and see about a bolt kit and possibly a locker. Which leads me to my next question, what is available for a limited slip diff? Someone was talking about a 40% kit??? I just want to price it and see. If it is too much I will probably just buy a used 020 or 02A later when I can afford it. If it is reasonable I would love to attempt it or see if my buddy Troy can help me with it. Any ideas or places to look for trans LSD/40% kit would be awesome. I think brokevw has a walkthrough on how, I just need to know what.

i tried to find it on the peloquin website.. but i could not for the life of me... i found an %80 kit tho..

[8v-of-fury]

Found it! a %40 kit

That is a little more than I want to spend. Good find though.

I don't get it I can buy a locker for a 9" ford, Dana 44, 60, or the corperate series for 1/2 of that or less...must be the import nature.

edit just saw the 40% kit...I like it. Now to find the bolt kit and figure out how to make it work

question: where can I get more info on this D-SPROCKET thing, I am pretty sure that it is for me, being that my build will go into a completely different ca, and run multiple accessories.

thanks,

i believe it is merely machining your crank nose for a TDI sprocket, nothin fancy.

[Rabbit on Roids]

its not some magical crank improvement, just take and cut a TDI style nose on the crank and run the TDI sprocket. you honestly probably wont even need it unless you are going to be running power steering, ac, an alt, and other things.

To me it is chicken soup for a cold. It isn't needed, but can't hurt anything. I am going to eventually setup A/C and higher output alt on a serp setup. I just don't want to chance it on this build after 3 years. The other maybe fine, but I am going the safe route as I don't have it in the car.

BTW..."as I don't have it in the car" meaning engine, that phrase has cost me about 1,000 dollars. There have been 20 things I have done in the up to 100 dollar range that have added up. Just because the engine wasn't in the car yet and I might as well do it now kind of thing. I hope to get it done soon though.

click on gears at the bottom of the page. the small lower table has all the trannies broken down by flange size. just locate your tranny code on it. im thinkin you have 90mm hubs tho. but i dont see why there would be a difference. they are completely interchangeable, and do the same damn thing.

I am using the franken engine in the Toyota MR2 Spyder, 250-300 BHP in a 2400 lb vehicle could be fun I will need the d-sprocket for all of the acc. to bolt up.  this thread is going to be useful, because I also need to find a tranny and need to work out some details using cv's etc.  No jack intended, just sourcing out some much needed info, and sorting some problems.

thanks,

Kevin
