Thanks for the advice, Cris.
Bottom end looks good. I think that it might have been from using an impact gun to turn the crank or something.
Anyways,
SHE RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cleaned up the block and the new head, put all new gasket on everything, bolted everything up using thew new Eurospec Race Bolts and reconnected all my lines. She started up first try. Has a nice idle and drives great!! I only got on the throttle a few times, because I'm trying to actually break her in. The turbo is SOO LOUD, haha. I'm having my dad drive back and forth to work every day with it this week to make sure everything is good. I work too far away to drive it before its reliable. I'm planning on taking it to a car show on Sunday. I went to it last year and everyone loved the rabbit. I can't wait to show up this year and get to show her off
Words can't describe how happy I am that this thing finally runs.
Question:
I'm spooling 5-6 psi under full throttle. Are those EVAP codes putting me in limp mode or is it just because of all the piping and huge front mount I have?
No software, yet. to come in the near future.
K03-s
No real engine work, stock internals, just big front mount and tubing, TT intake mani, forge split-r dv, Eurospec head bolts, southbend stage 3+ clutch and PP
3" downpipe to 2 1/2" under the front seats to 2 1/4" from under the seats to out the back for the sleeper look. No Cat. 2nd O2 sensor backed out with spark plug bungs. Resonator and Magnaflow muffler.
good to know about what actually happens with evap delete
i don't think I have the charcoal canister anymore, though. Hopefully I can get a chip soon so I can get the evap stuff deleted with it.
i think my clutch slips a little in 4th and 5th gear around 4500-5000 rpm under boost. Hoping it's just because the clutch is brand new and only has about 25 miles on it. I'm not gonna take the tach up very far until I reach the 500 mile mark in hopes to break it in.
