hey all, got me engine sorted for the TT conversion and getting a 5spd box though SSS, now just trying to figure out all the costs and extras that im going to need that im sure i havnt thought of. selling off the N/A engine and box hopefully, so that should give me a bit of a financial boost.. though not much lol now i know that im going to have to do a bit of work to the front to mount a FMIC, accomodate piping etc. aswell as the new exhaust and new turbis etc. getting a Wolf3D V500 ECU and might get a brand spankin new TT harness through Perfect Run. Just want to plan out the whole thing and try get as organized as i can before i dive in, and hoping the more tech happy of you out there, or indeed any1 has any suggestions for mods/ extras that i should chew through while the engine is out. body kit is getting replaced too, hopfully with gonzos new rear brazillian among a mix up of others, thinking i might have a look at the suspension while im at it too. Anyway any1 that wants to make a suggestion/ recomendation or anything related to the rebuild please do, any help/feedback at all is definatly appreciated. thanks guys (and gals) Jadyn
Best of luck !!! Hope it all goes well. btw I believe the piping for the climate control is different N/A to TT (US forum). Anyway, hope it all goes well. Cheers, Peter
bloody oath thats a lot of work ahead of you!! where do people get the money from to do all of this? got any pics to start the before, then we can see the after ones. good luck!! cheers Jay
i suggest doing a plenum pull.. while plenum is off get bigger injectors obviously do spark plugs etc. and since the plenum is off might as well get it polished for some bling you wont need any extra space to fir the piping.. i did an NA to TT conversion... and yeah all fit sin snugly behind an NA bar. although i did chop the middle of it so the cooler can breathe
niice.. yes.. lots and lots of work lucky ive got a good job and boss so the money is no problem.. though im pretty sure there will be some dry patches lmao! yer ill be buying a new bar so should be alright, no cutting im hoping haha. engine is being rebuilt so injectors will be replaced along with the rest. yer i was thinking about doing a step-by-step through the proccess with shiteloads of photos, for my own benifit as well as any1 else that wants to see cheers Jadyn P.S. bling is gooood
Yeah think we need a full mod list before we can help to much. I was considering doing what you're doing but thought buying a half cut would be easier, so thats what I did hehe. Engine is now getting preped/fixed before being installed. Shall be fun.
ill post up a full list tonight when i get home but from what i can remember: ACL Hyperlight forged pistons Eagle forged conrods (both from caz) looking at getting the crank balanced out seeing as its already shot-peened from the factory not sure on the FMIC yet, want to look into that a bit more and work out the best for the final build Wolf3D V500 ECU HKS GT sports turbo kit koyo type-z radiator all the cam gears/flywheel are going lightened and removing the clutch driven radiator fan to replace with a leccy one getting the head flowed as well i think plenty of other stuff, body kits, engine, paint, suspension, *bling* etc but cant remember all the japanese names lol should give ya's an idea of whats happening, worst part is ill be driving an old VK/VL for the next few months *insert crying icon* cheers, Jadyn
