the beginning...

how it arrived


after 6 weeks of backorder ring... dont have me build you a engine w/new rings on deadline... my tdi and this worldwide back orders it seems when ya need a hole of rings... never again do i want such a job... what a pain to install the pistons...


how big is that turbo.... look at the crack pipe beside it...

its build will be here.. if you join.. Check out my Driiive profile  then click the follow, anytime you log in it will tell when i update it.. ill update this thread when major got crap to say... ill do daily pics of tightened this nut there..


how she sits as of today... .yes it stilll runs needed to be able to move it out then back in once engine was inside my shop.. ill finish the engine build.. then gut it down.. swap subframes/from mount set ups.. pedals and then stick the engine/tranny in.. do ic stuff.. then ill dick with rebuilding wiring, ce2 swap.. roddo dash.. so on... i say 2-3 weeks... i hope my proto engine crap here as ill have 2 weeks to get my 84 ready for madness then..

Second to a healthy diesel, the sound of a vr-t gets my blood going.

you are a lucky dog... I have swapped over 5 vr6's into MK2's they get easier.. my only hope is that you have an early Passat parts car..I do have some stuff at the shop for the conversion if ya cant find it locally...

are you using a OBD1 or a Dizzy for ignition?

[CRSMP5]

coil pack... have some plug/play harness for programable system... already wired for the mk3 harness plug... i just have to do the ce2 swap..

roddo rad/lower crossmember... b3 pedals.. mk3 subframe with rack and all, rear beam too.. early westy grill set up.. gets cut up for the ic too.. just till fitted no idea how much... gave a friend who has beeninto building custom headers that actually perform the upper plenium so we can size it up for a log.. anc cut it to build one...   but i worried on headgasket/spacer so once again on hold...

[vwroadkill]

are you using the brake booster bracket? it has the standoffs for the hydro clutch... and as it is a mk2 it should hopefully have the dent already in it for the area that has to be drilled for the actuator. as for head gasket and spacer.. I will ask my buddy which spacer to get.. I use MLS for head gasket..
as for the radiator and fan.. I have a set up at the house..MK3.. if you need it let me know..
hell I have condenser and piping for A/C.. you could have all the luxuries. and power..LOL

let me know If I can help...
as for the spacer... depending on cr you want to run..120 thousands' spacer including the MLS headgasket... what kind of boost do you plan on obtaining? 15..17?

[CRSMP5]

need AAs.. lol.. camera i guess i left it on.. but had some leafy stuff.. so not any time soon..

tomarrow will have $2 o-ring for timming cover oil feed passage to tensoner... but head on.. thermo/crack pipe installed so on.. chains all set... maybe tomarrow have tranny and all installeed... gotta go get me a "biatch' for a few hr now...

i have pedals/bracket from non abs b3... part of crazymikes 02a swap he did not need.. once i get engine sittin in, rpddo rad.. ill be able to see what i have to fab for this fmic... but right now ill assume cut all metal between headlights up to where 2nd dary latch hangs thru.. hate to poke ic with that.. and build box round ic.. and tie core support to that.. its freggin rediculus..

Dig the westy 200mm setup.

gots lots of welding to do now...







its going to spit fire so nice... somehow i ended up with a piece of bend left that made up the perfect up swept tip IMO.. 3" from the cat/muffler bolted on head thru the tip..

3 pypes j pipes..
3 v band..
2 4ft sections..

abt 17 hr in fab.. still gotta make mounts/hangers.. then gotta weld all the seams.. can you say $1k exhaust easy... but it no hit..

[theman53]

Idk I think it would almost look better as a turn down than up like that
