I am starting a 1.6TD build version 2, hoping for more than 40,000 miles :D

the only issue crazy mike... me and lucas hae discussed this... what if that cast iron crank pully were too hair line crack from holding it... the chain method should be used when possible... that type of tool in car only... but id prefer a lock to replace the starter and lock it like 944 style crank lock.. 

ive seen crank bolts become loose w/broken timming belts.. both gas/diesel... using the crank sprocket to torque it... i just do not see it torquing right...your trying to torque the gear to the crank.. not the bolt to the gear i guess is how you need to look at it..

finally some pics to make people stay interested

I see now why you don't have this complete.  Just mowing the grass around the place would take a couple of days for me.  But then I have a push mower. 

[theman53]

that is the front yards. The back is bigger. I have a 48" zero turn that cut the mowing from 4+ hours to 1.5 hours. That is if it is dry and mowed well. It has rained every day since 6-21-13 and that took 2.5 hours as I had to clean the deck every so often. It sucks, I hate mowing grass, the wife usually does it but she doesn't now that she is due for our 3rd the 31st of this month.

[ORCoaster]

Get her on that mower for an hour and you will be due for the third an hour after that.  Congrats.

lol when i saw this post I was like "why does he have the front end of a vw laying on his front porch."

I get it now..

Can't wait to hear this thing run!   

[theman53]

Another 4" of rain Monday night and a good soaker last night, still haven't touched it since Sunday. Also, the littlest girl bought a bike Friday with her birthday money *born in march but a good saver like dad* and it came in last night. So even if it would have been nice out I was putting together a Monster High bike that would not wait.

BTW: I didn't get what you were saying, NOW I GET IT. LOL, that is funny. I meant it as a before and after, but I see how you thought the front of my car was the fore ground.

Better?

[theman53]

Some water and a battery, after church I will light her off.

I lost *gained* a 2' section of boost tubing by running it this way. I will eventually have a couple of the silicone couplers eliminated by welding them together. As it is now I like it a ton better than what it was.

[Gizmoman]

Looking good Theman. Yeah, I can see where a bit of fiddling with the tube bends could eliminate an elbow or two - they really eat up the flow.
So your goal with the sausage stuffer intake is to have more low-end grunt?

[theman53]

Yeah, low end especially, but it should be a better intake all the way around even top rpm. The sausage stuffer tops will help force more air into the tube than what the tube would allow naturally, so that will help the high rpm. The low end it the runner length. It is just over 13.5" from the intake side of the valve stem to the top of the sausage stuffers. It has to do with air traveling as a sound wave but IIRC the peak torque should be made around 2,500rpm and should remain fairly flat from there on out. It is all math and formulas though, the real test will be this afternoon. I will put 300 miles on it today if all goes as planned.

[Alcaid]

Flow chart to be posted when done.

Not seen flow charts yet?

[theman53]

My machinist printer is down and he hasn't got it to me. What it did do is flow 18% more than my last head that was approx. 45% more intake and 20% exhaust over stock head from what he told me. I will get it as soon as I can as I am just as curious to the actual numbers.

[theman53]

It lives. Took it for a five mile trip. The middle freeze blew out and I had to wait and limp home the last 1/4 mile. I had brought water just in case and glad I did.

Against CRSMP5 I will add a freeze plug heater to it and fill it with water again. Then test drive and change the oil.

It sounds sooo BAD. In a good way that is. It has a growl to it this time and the turbo whistle is definitely more present. I need more boost as I only made about 9psi. I will adjust the manual boost controller before next trip. Fun fun fun.
