shifter assembly modified, now it works.. needed to weld shifter arm to different angle and also the shift selector rod..

couldn't use the original shift lever, had to put some random short shifter in there!

shortened driveshaft with bigger flange for 96mm guibo

When I opened mine up it just had a couple of baffles. I wanted to condense more of the oil vapor so I added some scotch brite pads as a filter material but it still vents lots of oil vapors. I was wanting to add a better filter material to the center of the can to help catch more oil. I have now drive over 1000 km with mine so I should probably check to see if there is any oil in the bottom of the can.

Ah yeah, well i don't really know what should be used in there to make it filter better..

i am going to try not to use any filter in there. it will vent the oil vapors to atmosphere

what do you mean? why do you want to filter it better? are you running it back to the intake manifold?

Great build here...engine bay would look super cool....

[krisu]

great build! love how it's coming together.

Love all the new hotside bits, the exhaust wrap looks great!

Very nice work OP! Great job with the wiring too! Nice and neat, this is a very detail oriented build and should be awesome when done.

some dei engineering heat wrap, also egt sensor there!



also vag coils with integrated amplifier





1100cc injectors, had to use the original fuel rail because my nuke performance didn't fit with original intake manifold. well some day i'll make/find a plenum for it!



starting to look like an engine



new clutch finally came, it took over a month but i have some problems now with my flywheel. here is an image where my clutch will stay if i use this flywheel. it won't go further in the transmission bore. i might need to buy a new flywheel and sell this one or machine my tranny -10mm. to make the clutch fully go to the tranny axle!

[krisu]

hey all! something done at garage! oil filter housing got oil pressure adapter. it was a tight fit but it works!





plastic pipe has an- fitting now, waterfeed to turbo. there was orginally heater plate for the M42 throttle body from there.



engine bay getting some stuff back there! also battery relocation done!









i moved my airtank and compressors a bit to make those touring hatches fully open.
