Hey guys! I'm hope everyone is doing well! So today I did a bunch of crazy things. I picked up my block from the machine shop and it looks great! I had them hone/bore, hot tanked, and freeze plugs. All for $223! Then I bought a car today as my new DD while my car is under the knife! The car is a 1990 mk2 Jetta! It was my brother in laws car who sold it to his buddy and I bought I back for $500 lol. Thanks for sticking with it guys! Block assembly begins in a weak!

Nice to see the progress Noah! It looks like I will be building a M10 turbo also, but for my cousins wide body 2002. Keep up the work! Im kinda bummed that my core motor turned out to be junk so Im on the search again, but I want to stick with the 2.0 motor

My brother has the same wheels on his 84 GTI, they're are awesome for the cost! Looking good, excited to see what you use to tune this...

Very cool build man! I cant wait to see progress on this. And do not discount Otis's advice it is priceless!!!! Ask him questions and dont let any machinist tell you differently. Good luck

How many miles on the pulled block? Also you could do what bmw did with the m12/m13 ( used a m10 block) leave it in the rain and get rusted then clean it up maybe piss on it a couple of times. Can't wait to see what you do with this man. Idk what it is but I just like the m10.

Noah, everything is looking good so far! :up: Taking it apart is the easy part, putting it back together is key. You look like you are pretty organized, keep everything labeled and take lots of pictures while you are working. It makes life so much easier.. You have a lot of good parts going into this engine, it should be wild! I have the same turbo you plan on running the gt2871r is AWESOME for little four cylinder engines, spools up quick and makes good power all the way to the redline.



I need to work on my turbo m42 more :( I just finished all the engine building stuff and what not, now I have to deal with tuning and getting it to run correctly. Can't wait to see the progress on your car!

Hey guys! So today was so beautiful my brother-in-law and I decided to go the junk yard and pull a block! It took about three hours! The next step is to get it ti a shop to get it machined and vatted.



This was a full engine this morning! Now just bare bones block.
