Sweet good luck! It doesnt come out too bad, which booster are you using again?

Doing the 2002 booster but I think I have a 944 handy as well. We'll see.

Going to be modifying the plenum today... have an image of yours saved haha.

Ahhh, the wonderful feeling of progress! Nice, seems like everyone building an S54 right now is going to finish around the same time aha

If you are looking for softer mounts you may have it backwards, the AKG 70A is softer than the Revs.

I am an absolute fucking mess people

[masterofnone]

I don't think thats true on my part. I have done several motor swaps now and we've used E28 mounts for some customers and Revshift mounts for others... Not many opt for the AKG mounts because they are the most expensive of the bunch.

*EDIT* I just looked at the AKG mount once more and noticed its a 70a durometer... thats basic solid. I'm going to order up the revshift mounts because I can get them in an 80A durometer.

It seems a lot of people do this whole, buy one brand, end up getting AKG anyway.

*EDIT* I'm stupid and ordered a stiffer mount LOL

Why not E28 :) Especially if you want softer.

The only reason why I don't want to do that is because you have to flip the mount. The position of the nut within the subframe makes its a piece of shit to reach. I have a pair of brand new mounts on the shelf and just can't bring myself to do it.

So the motor is in... that rear sump is a pain in the ass to work with much like E36's but tighter.

The motor mounts will NOT work. They need to shift about 1/4" to really get it right... so I will be ordering up some AKG mounts because I like their design most.

it says it on the label. I think you'll be OK though honestly, but in terms of longevity and making all your hard work last longer I would recommend using 2k in certain situations.

Another way to know the difference, the 2k will have a little button on the bottom that is the activator for the paint. Then you only have like 1hr to use the can.

I think for the engine bay you're going to be fine, although it does get super hot. When i did my taillights in all red, i was recommended a 2k clear and so far it's held up perfectly, even in UT harsh winters and daily driving.

Yes, the product is called 1K FillClean.

LOL guys I've been staring at this shit for too long.

I was zeroed in on just the label on the can

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. I don't think I'll redo it for some time... With the core support now removable I can always go back to it. I can't even tell on the bottle whether its 2k or 1k

Sure. The 1k and 2k are referring to the steps more or less. A 1k doesn't have an activate hardener where the 2k does (like an activator). In short the 2k, because of the way it's created, holds up more to heat and UV.
