325IX restore and build continued(turbo, e34ix diff, DCT)

[nomansland92]

Well, I have killed my first transfercase. Not to bad for probably 100's of awd launches.

Honestly though I think its self inflicted. When I had everything apart last year I changed all the fluids and it was pretty low, and considering they don't hold much to begin with doesn't help.

It's a good thing I hord ix parts, time to pick the next lucky candidate.

Oh cool. That was one thing I noticed with my brother in law's Golf R, that in standard form it had that delay, but with a DSG tune it was instant. Very nice

You can enable gear pre-selection for almost instant up shifts :)

Is there a way to reduce the delay between when you move the lever and it actually shifts? That's the one thing that I don't like about DCTs. Is it tunable on these?

To be honest I thought the same thing watching videos but when your in the car it's way faster then what videos make out to be.

In still learning the tuning process of it but I believe that is the next clutch shortly engaging to get it up to speed, which is adjustable, everything is adjustable lol

How are you liking the 3576 so far? Sounds great in the video.

Honestly hard to say because I have yet to actually get into it, however at partial throttle its easily builds 15lbs of boost! I think it's going to be a great turbo though.

Dude, seriously impressed you pulled this off. M20 with DCT has to be a first!

Also glad my E34ix parts went to good use - god knows they'd still be collecting dust in my garage otherwise (like everything else I own).

Thanks, it's been a ton of hard work and one hell of a learning in experience!

Also your e34 parts are in a good home and will be well used :)

Intake all finished up and it runs again for the first time in 2 years!

I pushed that elbow back and out as far as I can for the 6th cylinder and i think it will do the job, eventually I'll run individual egt's and know more about how it flows.

Everything went smooth when I fired it up but of course I have an exshust leak right at the downpipe vband :( its gonna stay like that for a few weeks because I think the vband is warped and just needs rewelded.

Little more wiring and it will be ready to spin the wheels on jack stands soon.

I Iooked into that when I built the first manifold, the only thing I didn't like was it made the throttle body sit up very high and then ended up making the entire planum bigger to get everything were I needed it to be.

That's why I used the word twist rather than rotate... You'd have to rotate up the back portion while leaving the throttle where it is.
