This thing is slowly moving on as well.
Been super lazy posting lately, but then again been lazy with the engine as well!
Just mainly throwing more and more € towards it and hoping for it to build itself..
Seems not gonna happen so here's mainly where we at:
1. Old engine and trans out, all of the pistons have substantial side rocking at tdc, explains the blow by?
2. New bottom end mostly assembled with everything new and in upper end of clearances
3. New head mostly assembled as well, needs some sensors etc. small stuff before fitting to block
4. EFR turbo changed to GTW garret by recommendations by experts, GTW3884R on shelf waiting for the head to find it's place
5. Tube header waiting for EGT nipples, downpipe for BN-Pipes 2x2.25 full system and maybe a heat wrapping as well?
6. Engine needs some wiring for VW Lupo 60-2 trigger, typ44 1T electronic throttle pedal + 70mm RS4 throttle plate (WOT shifting at 1/4 mile)
7. TDI 01E next to go in and needs flanges to be made between trans <-> mounts, linkage and sub-frame mounts (+new engine mounts) done and done
Some little things along the way that needed refreshing and now installing:
1. Heater core. I was getting some coolant fluid smell earlier, not sure was it leaking hose at the end of block or the heater core. Decided to renew as "while in there" mod.
2. A/C radiator. Old was leaking apparently and broke when removing. New one super expensive and available through Audi Tradition only, I found some other part no. from some typ44 German forum, will confirm the fitment once I get there along part number.
Send me some €€€, as this thing eats it all...
