Building AAZ motor; meet Harley

[CrazyAndy]

Well I'm gonna get them to do a once-over on it as well as extract the studs from the turbine housing.  Heck, I'll see if they can do anything.  Wonder if any 700 series are in the local pick 'n pulls.

That turbo rebuilder told me hard parts are extra and any porting started at 75.00. They extracted all the studs for mine in the standard price.

and watch what u grab in a junkyard, alot of the saabs had t25 turbos, which are great turbos and all but not on a vw diesel haha.  and alot of the volvos had mitsubishi turbos too.

Progress?  In MY build thread?  It's more likely than you think!  Especially since I got my crankshaft back!   WOOOOOOO!





In the second pic you can see where the spray welding was applied.  It's the lighter areas.  This has REALLY snugged up the timing belt cog, won't move at all now.  Just need to smooth the nose contact surface of some very mild flash and she's ready for initial bottom end assembly and measurement!

Also found out at work last week that there's a machinist 6 MILES from my apartment complex, meaning I don't have to go to another city across the mountains for machine work anymore. 

The Rabbit will live yet!  HELL YEAH!  MIKES HARD'S FOR EVERYBODY!

Mike, did you steal my crank sproket? I cannot find it and that one looks like it.

Sorry for DP, but . . .

(They're Smokey Eddie's pics, but it looks the same)

Now I'm ein zylinderkpfdichtung away from the Big Assembly Mockup Montage^TM!

Wow, just found this thread. It looks like my AAZ build for the Caddy. I'm super happy with mine.
Subscribed for sure !

Yeah like on the 152!  Don't forget, your Caddy was one of the reasons I chose the AAZ!

Blech, it feels like a lifetime since I got this engine.  I remember last year when Ken and I were talking about Coast to Coast to H2O.  Really hated missing it this year; Ken, buy a Diesel and post here darnit!

Forgive an old man's forgetfulness. Great build. Keep it up.

Too big? (I pulled a T25 this week, while I was getting the intercooler.)

No, it's smaller than the T3, so even if the parts interchange, it would be a step down in ability to move area as well as efficiency relative to how I'll be using the T3.

[RabbitJockey]

no, it would actually work fine, it just wouldn't be good for higher boost pressures, i would say its similar or a bit better than a k14.  you could actually build a nice hybrid with the t25 exhaust side and a t3 compressor, not the vw compressor tho, they suck.

Andy!! Guess I should have checked here more often. The152 is the Devil's playground now. Good to see that it is all coming together.

Hah!  I knew your scrawny butt was over here, Jas.   Was just waiting on you to find me.

Yep, it's coming along at least.  Now if I could only get Arthur, VooDooFury, and VDubTec over here. . . .
