Tacos 4KTQ I0vt Swap: The Red Baron - buying parts again

[my2000apb]

lol

so are you

"open top taco" now?

[AngryTaco]

Not yet. Top doesnt open lol. Gotta figure out why

[scubadave]

Just about to take the turbo off.. timing work for you? Been busy helping the pops finish and paint the garage. Need to get busy on the car for bbq or I may be driving the 90 down instead.

They dont call em saab's for nuthin. Boo hoo. The 4ktq is 10 times the car the saab will ever be. Good thing its a daily hammer. Worked on enough of them over the years to have an opinion developed.

[AngryTaco]

Its proving to be a nice freeway blaster. Figured out why top wasnt opening and discovered a broken piston connector so it needs a new piston or I gotta weld something up.

Yeah I think timing will work now that I'm not driving that pig of a pickup anymore. Now I can work on the car knowing I have something that will get me to work everyday on time lol.

I'll be in touch with you dave. I'm still in no rush as the business and work have taken up the majority of my time and money.

[AngryTaco]

Guess who got a set of HPR motor mounts installed today!?


Ignore the slight offset of the poly





I definitely feel a little vibration when idling due to "THE CAM" but it is incredibly smooth when driving. When the boost/torque kicks in the car just goes and I dont feel any flex.

[my2000apb]

cam data?

[AngryTaco]

BIG. But it requires "THE TURBO"

[AngryTaco]

cam data?

Looking at going with a 242/235 @.050" with .455"/.440" lift

[my2000apb]

well once we get some dyno data we can gets some overlays, itd be interesting to see THE/THAT cam on a stockish but chipped/wg/spring exh car as well

[DE80q]

Mounts are looking good. how did you reach the cam specs you listed.

2nd...been waiting for real data

[AngryTaco]

Well since theres going to be some dynoing at BBQ, we will have real numbers this October.

[AudiSport4000]

Awesome

[AngryTaco]

Im predicting 230 awhp

[AngryTaco]

Finally got a timing cover back on!

[85oceanic]

That looks freakin good man, I approve.

[my2000apb]

whats the PN for the rubber gasket/seal on the timing belt cover?

[AngryTaco]

whats the PN for the rubber gasket/seal on the timing belt cover?

Tim, I'm not sure. My seal has always been in great condition. I believe you can get a kit from O'reilly auto or NAPA though. Any import store should have something I think.

I have to make a decision. My K24 is going out and is now releasing both oil and water after heavy boost. Great.

So the question is....do I finally shell out and somehow find Dave's turbo money....or do I risk it and buy the URQ A/C compressor on Friday......?

Good lord, go without a/c and buy the damn turbo.

[pilihp2]

Summer is almost over. Forget A/C

[AngryTaco]

But I want A/C for bbq :(

I guess I might have to go without it this year. Joy

[scubadave]

What, difference does it make now? It's getting colder every day. Build a coldshirt setup into your cooler and throw in drinks and icewater. You will freeze your nuts off. Ask hank. I could use the cash to put my coupe together. I will be coming, they called me back to work.

[Hank]

That's great news Dave. Yes, cold shirt is where it is at

[AngryTaco]

Ah dont beat me up over wanting to freeze me ass off in the middle of humid nevada desert while the rest of you wankers suffer.

Newayz Dave you have PM

[AngryTaco]

I'm burning this damn alternator belt. It must be punished for filling my car with the smell of a thousand burning tires. My Audi is a dick. All I ever do is shovel money into it and it treats me like crap. Sure I get the occasional rush of adrenaline and pleasure, but is it really worth it. Fucking cars man
