I have a TDI in my shop sitting on an engine stand for a future project and a lot of people comment on its tallness. VWs are weird.

Yeah, they are unusually tall when seated straight up.  Can't really tell with the photo, but its immensely cleaner than it was. I'm thinking of using a different intercooler, possibly one from a Volvo S70  That way it'll sit in front of my radiator and I won't have to cut to make space in front of the motor.

Did you check out a mk5 intercooler yet? They are pretty thin and tall and might fit around your radiator.

Yea the mk5 one sits in front like the condensor for the a/c. Ive seen them in swaps and I hope one will fit in the scirocco.

If you do go with that intercooler keep in mind it was the same on 850s as well from 1994 through 2000 and you shouldn't have to pay more than $50 for it. I've thrown away perfectly good ones, they never seem to go bad and every FWD turbo Volvo had one. You can also buy it aftermarket with a thicker core and aluminum end tanks if you want to spend $300-$400 for even better cooling down the road.

New intercooler arrived! On the left is the stock 10v Turbo intercooler, the right is the Volvo intercooler, its actually just slightly larger than the Audi radiator. Perfect.

Gotta modify the distributor from single window to five window, easiest way will be to cut the old distributor short and swap gears. Pics with updates to follow.

So given all this progress I suppose you didn't make it up for SoWo, commie? Actually, since you're a transplant have you heard of it? Huge vw/audi show an hour north in a Bavarian themed town called Helen. Straight shot off 985 and state roads.

Apparently some of the rowdier VAG guys threw some beers on and heckled a few Civics that were rolling down the strip but I didn't have any trouble in either my e46 or e30 other than BBS elitists pointing out that my wheels are fake.

German apologists heading to a beer hall in mass groups amidst a nationalistic background and proceeding to heap abuse upon an easily-identified minority? I see no problem with this. Good luck putsching your cars home.

Okay, so we've got a problem. The flywheel is too tall for the 3B block, preventing the engine from seating on the transmission. The options are: Different flywheel or Swap the 3B head to the NG block that was originally in the engine and lose piston oil cooling, but it will still work.

Do you really want piston oil squirters? If so, could you tap the block and install them? We do this quite a bit in the Volvo world.

While we're stuck waiting for a flywheel and clutch, the oil cooling parts arrived.

Flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate arrived:  Just for comparison, compare the first photo showing the width of the old flywheel versus this one:

 Distributor mods, moving the 5 window distributor rotor to the new style distributor and gear.  Fuel rail is reinstalled, intake back on, gotta cut the throttle cable shorter, and get fuel lines.

That's a stock setup, I'm curious to what type of fuel injection he's gonna use and how well it will perform.

No. 6 posted:I thought the 10v turbo only came in the 200 FWD, not the quattro. Nope, it came in the Avant Quattro and the Ur-Quattro, and shares all the same features as the standard non-turbo 10v. No. 6 posted:That's a stock setup, I'm curious to what type of fuel injection he's gonna use and how well it will perform. Yep, its a stock 3B motor setup, as for fuel injection, we're working with the stock 3B fuel injection for starters, and we'll work from there. The fuel pump system for the CIS will actually support it just fine for initial purposes.

So stock is externally gated? That's awesome! My BMW is the same way. Germans sure like to over engineer things. Looks like yours would be easy to mod for more boost.

Be careful with those old KKK turbos. Porsche forums and the BMW turbo guys keep talking about how easy it is to damage one by over revving it. This is what I have to deal with: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/300947474416 I need to either adapt the tial guts I have, or adapt the tiny tial MVS as that is the only thing that will fit between the manifold and strut tower. You've got it easy Are you running megasquirt on this?

Aren't the old KKKs decently reliable with in spec? I know the 944 guys don't have much trouble with the turbos themselves... Its all the other poo poo. But god drat, when the boost builds that thing is going to FLY.

BrokenKnucklez posted:Aren't the old KKKs decently reliable with in spec? As long as you stay within spec, they are reliable as hell. Push them past that, and they tend to give up quickly. Some bad news, the Volvo intercooler will not fit between the motor and the frame, sop we'll have to seek another solution, for now the turbo will hook directly to the intake and we'll look at a better intercooling solution later. Test fit the radiator:  Gotta trim the throttle cable, and start wiring.
