Replaced the alternator belt, this has to add at least 30 hp!  HKS belt from Japan, cost about 1/10 of what I paid for the car. afen fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Mar 12, 2015 |

Wrenched a bit on the old Audi: Got a new block delivered from Lithuania, now the engine shop just wants $2300 for parts and labor and the bottom end internals should be all good.

Fitted new, stainless injector sockets in the inlet manifold. Custom bits, had to port a little bit of the casting in the IM to get them to fit.  I also bought an new oil cooler, as if this project isn't costing me all my money as it is.  Waiting for some more parts to come in the mail before I can put this stuff on. I also gave my local Audi tuner my ECU so that he can reprogram it for 440ccm injectors. Here's one of his cars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUl0D2w3tt0

Seat Safety Switch posted:What injectors are you running? I seem to remember 034 had a set of bungs that adapted from the mega pricey CIS-E injectors to GM style truck injectors. Bosch 968s. They're a straight fit mechanically, you just need a remap of the ECU.

Fitted a new oil cooler and the water manifold on the Audi. Still waiting for a new after-run water pump to get here before I can fit the intake manifold and other stuff. Old:  New:  Water manifold: I had a new oil pressure sender, but I managed to break off the threaded part.

Fitted the downpipe, AC compressor, PS pump, aux water pump, inlet manifold and other little bits and pieces. Also, new connectors for the injectors, because I found some in a drawer at work. I also got some electric adjusters for the head lamp. Strange that they weren't there, as all the wiring and the switch was present.

Throttle body, radiator, air filter box, Provent 200 and various other small bits fitted. I always think "Hey, these Audis ain't too bad, I don't understand why everyone thinks they're a pain to fix," then I mount the radiator... Hoping to get her started probably next week. Still to come: Intercooler, auxilliary radiator, pressure piping and high blood pressure!  Does anyone have any tips for cleaning out an intercooler? I've tried regular degreaser and a whole lot of water. I think I got most of the oil out of it, but now I'm worried about the degreasing liquid left inside. I'm thinking about filling it up with petrol and letting it sit overnight.

Took the car in for final adjustments after the rebuild. About 416HP and 564Nm from the engine (calculated), 313HP/423Nm at the wheels. Not bad from a stock turbo. The new front bumper is going on after I fit the new A/C lines and air drier.

Fitted new shocks and springs in the front. Bilstein B6 dampers and H&R springs. Still waiting for the rear shocks to get here before I replace them. I don't think the damper is supposed to sink down like that:  Looking rather sorry without the struts:  Ready to be installed:  What a difference! The car has never driven this good!

I finally got an wheel alignment after replacing my springs and shocks this summer. Both tie rods were rusted so I had to replace those as well to do the alignment. I then went out in the snow to play!

Me and my friend finally found a place to work on our cars, and the rent is cheap too! So far we've gotten a lift, a compressor, couch and the obligatory stereo system. I've even got a lathe coming!

Rhyno posted:Dude this is so awesome. Can we get some more pics and some details? Here's a picture of the lathe. It's been sitting outside, but I'm only "paying" a couple of bottles of whisky for it. I got the compressor for free because it had a cracked cylinder. Paid a welder $100 to get it together again. Gonna try it tomorrow, hope it works!      glyph posted:What the gently caress is this image host. My basement server. I need port 443 for SSH so I can connect to it while I'm at work.

Replaced the A/C Compressor and filled her up. Finally, after six years, I have working AC! I also shortened the exhaust a bit so that the rear pipe doesn't stick out as far. No pictures of the wrenching, but here's a picture of the car at a local C&C event.

Spent way too much money on redoing the brakes on my wagon. Still have to order some small parts though, but it'll be worth it!   And it was about time too:   No wonder Porsche parts are expensive when they come in bags like these:
