Hey folks, I've been getting tons of help about getting my Jetta on the road , so I thought I'd post a few pics.
Some details, bought the car with a blown n/a diesel mated to an auto trans. Body\floors are great - paint is an industrial green rolled on by PO. Have put in poly bushings ( front, rear and steering rack), new bj's, tie rods. Egt probe. Will be dropping in a 1.6td, with a gov. mod in the pump 2.25 inch exhaust and finally some flames ;)

Always like the Jettas. Just haven't had the fortune to find a good one around here.
-
Same here. In for progress :)
-
What turbo you are running sir?
-

Slow but sure. It has actually been a comedy of errors, - like one step forwards, 3 back. ie: broken bolts, stuff that won't fit, finding tdc, wheel bearing falls off, the flu from hell.... >:(
Engine is set to be mated with the auto trans. Front end has been completely replaced.
I guess slow, but steady. :)
-

Sorry, didn't see your post.
A K03, but I'm struggling right now with seized waste gates & trying to find a fitting for the turbo oil drain line - the one that screws into the bung on the oil pan.
Maybe I'll screw the waste gate issue and let the BOV do its job. ;D
-
BOV is on the "cold side" of things, so it popping wouldn't stop the flow of exhaust gases over the turbine.
Wastegate is "hot side"of things, it popping allows the turbo to still make boost (if you have the fuel to continue moving the turbine) but with no restriction hot side.. which I think is most of the k03's issue.
I love my k03, it is a pretty good feeling turbo. I did a pull from 1500-3400 in 5th up a pretty steep grade on my way to work, it happened like bwwuuuuAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. lol
It spools up quick to max spool and holds that no problem I find, I have it set to where it will hold 15 psi (with my manual controller) and if I really get in to it the waste gate opens but I am still spinning the turbo good too.
-
Are you planning on modding the tranny?

Hey, I knew the waste gate thing..... ;) I'm just tired of the &@&@&# issues and was looking for a cheap asss lazy fix. Good to hear the K03 works well - I can't wait to get it on the road.
What tranny mods are you taking about? Harder shifts, changing of *** pts? I was just going to clean out the filters and R&R the ATF?
Also, would you have a turbo drain fitting? buddy? :)
-
Today. I installed the pass. side motor mt - while the mount bracket was on the engine. Used big ass balljoint & bushing tool. Took a lot of jigging and making of some notched plates & pipe ends. to use the tool - should have installed it when mt was off engine :-[
Got a K03 wastegate loose. So turbo is reading to install. Need to find turbo drain hose - VW guru suggested "single wire" hydraulic hose ???? This wasn't the K03 I wanted to use - but will have to do. Am looking for a new waste gate and shaft for my best k03.
Also cut off the airbox brackets, and am thinking of K&N placement and air box design ( Basically to not let the air filter to suck in warm engine compartment air)
Slow and steady it goes.

You can add more clutch disks fairly easily. I don't know at what point you need to do this though. You can also swap the diff out very easily to get better gearing. I think that would be a good idea with the k03
-
What type of trans\diff do I need to find for the diff swap?
-
Jetta outside

-
from what i understand turning up pressure and having quality clutch discs is more important than having more of them. if you are serious about building up the trans i'd contact jeff field at [email protected]. he knows his stuff and does performance trannys. although with a pretty tame setup ur probably ok with the stock trans as long as its already in good shape.
-
If I were you and the transmission was out of the vehicle I would seperate the automatic and diffrential halves of the tranny and replace the crappy gasket that seperates the gear oil from the tranny fluid if you plan on keeping the automatic on there for awhile.
-
Brokevw also does whatever performance upgrades you want. The hard parts are all cryo frozen too.
-
Bumper was rusted out & wouldn't pass inspection - so I fabbed up a new bumper - just need to put the cover back on. Should be up and running this week.

I like it without the cover

SuperCar #2 is on the road, lots of loose ends to fix - but it is working,
(http://imagesup.net/?di=013722793807)
Although my central vac. is missing some parts....... :D

-
I dig the ABS, I went that route too.. but it won't handle more than 9-10psi. Just so you know.. lol
I abandoned that immediately as it would just pop out of the hoses. This is hopefully one of the loose ends you are fixing? As well as that gasser throttle cable? ;)

Lol, that happened to me twice already. It will be changed - just waiting to take the intercooler off the tdi.
The throttle cable is what came on the car - and that is why I had to take the bracket off the na ip, as the td ip throttle bracket wouldn't work. ???
It seems to work okay - I get full throttle when the gas pedal is floored. Although i find having a 010 trans, even with the 1.6td the car is a bit slowish...
Loose ends are: intercooler, temp gauge, glow plugs ( will have to solenoid them) try to turn up the fuel screw, change atf and finally paint flames on hood......... :D
-
Here is Super Car 2 all set for the winter. New heater core, blower fan switch & some 14inch Firestone winters. Hopefully, 5 speed will be going in over Xmas.
FYI the front grill is missing as the students at school are fabbing up a plexiglass cover to fit over the grill and hopefully improve the warm up times on the short drive to work.

If you got buddies doing that, I'd halt them and get them to make a piece that fits in front of the rad from headlights to headlights.
Mind the extreme mess and the fact that it is carboard.. only pic I have of mockup. As you can see it goes infront of the rad from top to bottom and covers from low beam to low beam. This literally blocks ALL the air passing through not only the rad, but over and around the block and head. The short drive you do, the thermostat is not even close to opening. The issue then is not air passing through the rad, what it is is air hitting the giant heatsink of an aluminum head we have.. You need to stop that airflow, this is how you do it.

Hey Jeremy,
What did you make the cover out of? Sheetmetal, plastic?
And did you notice a big difference?
finally, why is the windshield washer jug on the pass side? I thought OEM is on the driver's side?
-
I eventually used thin Plexiglas. Huge improvements! I did a control test, I have my rad fan on a manual switch.. So with the car sitting idling at an operating temperature below the thermostats temp (verified by a cold lower rad hose), I turned the rad fan on with no wind shield up front and I watched the temps (manual temp gauge) literally plummeting off. This would be similar to cruising in town with low load and low rpm.. Shield in place and it can maintain a steady coolant temp whilst cruising around.
The only thing to worry about with that is the whole front is covered off, so very minimal air flow across the rad if you end up needing it. Say flooring it up a hill, being in PEI I think you'll be alright ;).
Washer jug is over there because this was originally a 1.7 EN gasoline engine car. The fuel distributor and airbox were over in the stock diesel jug location.
-
What temp thermostat are you using jeremy?
-
160, and riggt now no shield with the temps near freezing the car doesnt make more than 160 unless im hauling ass yp an extended hill.
-
Ah you like the colder one? Figured you would be running a hotter one being up in canada.
-
Well with the 180 before I was running like 205F cylinder head temps on a regular.. and it jumped fast when I got on to it.
I was thinking of switching up to a 195 for this upcoming winter season.
-
This piece was cut and formed prior to 8v's post, so I thought I'd give it a go. Dig the big shiny bolts.... lol And the bullet holed hi beam gives some street cred.

-
cable ties or zip ties are your friend. I would do stainless bolts like that as I sell them but zippies are so easy to remove I usually go that route...adds to your street cred too.

5spd install update.
Just bought a mk1 Rabbit n/a 5 speed - pretty rough - ie; no rear axle and all weathered - but complete drivetrain
&
a 89 Jetta 1.6td - not as rough, but rough - but complete and rolling chassis
all for $300
So time to start stripping and planning my 010 auto trans to 5 speed swap in Super car #2 . ;D
