My 16VT Einser... by VAG_Lowrider

6 minute(s) of a 131 minute read

Been waiting for some parts for the trans to come form Germany,new 5th shift gear, and som other bearings..

Now I got all the parts to get together the transmission,and throw it back on the engine and back to the engine bay for mounting..

Have also removed all the unnessesary wires on the original engine harness,and made it ready for the Haltech ECU.

Today I got hold of a complete 2E 2.0l 8V engine..This is the same as the ABA setup.

Going to use the multi toothbelt sheit from this one on my engine to make it ready for the Dry Sump system that will come when i get the money

Stay tuned for more..Pics will come

I`ve been on a big down period here,cause the lack of money.That I still have right now..  

Will begin this week with mounting up the original wiring,and then the transmission is going back together next week,hopefully..I also think I need a bigger(thicker) radiator,is there a place where i can find radiators with the same measures as the original one?

Now the plan for the car now,is going to Germany for TÃœV approval this summer to get all the modifications that has been done, to be approved and wrote into the car registration.

Ive sold the Garrett turbo, I think i will go for a Turbonetics T3/T04E with bigger exhaust housing for more top effect..Will also use external wastegate for more stable pressure..Maybe I will pass 400?

Back to work again..

I finally got hold of the last roller bearing for the transmission..

Started yesterday evening with assembling the pinion..

New bearings and gaskets all over..I will continue next weekend cause of work..

Peloquin with VR6 ring gear..I wonder why I didnt buy ARP bolts for this one. But i think the original bolts who came along will work fine

Trans almost complete..

Not much replies in here,maybe I should stop updating this thread..

Good or bad comments,come with it...I learn everyday  heh

Need to make me a plate so I can mount the magnet-foot so I can measure the thrust on the bearings first

Here is the 02A overhaul manual if anyone wants it

Got the engine and transmission in today:

Next will be to weld in some brackets for the intercooler..

I am going to use an 19-row Setrab oil cooler who fits perfect in the left of the IC.. A custom radiator will be bought from Summit or somewhere else...

Mounted up the CAE shifter and some other parts today..

I could hav used the original taped hole for the automatic transmission lever,but then i wont get enough space for the downpipe.. 

NOT looking forward to adjust the shifter... heh  

And the 044 pump with some Aeroquip snacks..
