This thing started with a new heart today.

ACV 2.5 tdi block + 7A head and cams paired to Garret GTW3884R 62/64 and 01E from a tdi A4 B5.
I have to say I'm quite happy, this is the first engine I've built from scratch and it started right away. :)

Ran it to temp and re-torqued the head studs ...

Yes, they are in head as well. 4mm x 4mm with a round milling head if I remember correctly.

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.. :oops:
Seems not gonna happen so here's mainly where we at:

1. Old engine and trans out ...

Just as a reference and an add-on to good photos above, 016 vs 01E photos

How to wire stock knocks to vems?
Guide for dummies please.

OT/ Maxxecu points to use Bosch 0261231046 sensors which only have 2 pin connectors vs stock 3 pin ones, and are not polarity sensitive.
Maybe vems needs these as well instead the stock ones? /OT

Would this apply to a typ44 as well with 016 tranny?
I have 01E DQT on the floor here and it will go into my 200 at some point in time..

Been off the forum for a few weeks and the place has filled with viagra commercials..lol

Driving this thing for 2 weeks now and some 1500 kilometers (930 miles..) with no hiccups what so ever.
Got the stroker block from the machineshop, waiting for head to be ready. Might start to assemble the block slowly..

Can anyone point me to a direction for typ44 belly pan/engine shield?
Could C4 or typ85 shields be something to consider with some modification?

Here's another sticking brake MC.

Deffo easier to bleed on the bench than in the car.
I had mine off last summer due to sticking and now it is doing it again. Need a replace as well.
Would you have a part number of the unit you got?

I considered making a heatshield for the MC as the radiator fan ...

Decided to try and use the triggerwheel on ACV crancksaft.
Didn't find any how to or BTDT on this from the web, so maybe not so smart to go this road but we'll see.

A few old pics when decided to start building the engine, just because started spamming with photos:

Some parthoarding done, all of these came through S2forum members:

7A cams from same guy who sold me 200 20v flywheel and 7A dampner.

Time to spam the forums again.
The stroker engine is slowly coming along!

Got the rotating assembly balanced last week.

Water jackets are done to head and block.
Went with 4x4mm round shape.

Ok, so I've done some detective work with the clutch and 707 is the right way just as PRY4SNO suggested.
However, the sachs catalog tells to use 881861999875 organic plate with 707 and I can't seem to find sintered plate to go with 707 that is 240mm and has 24 teeth as 999875 plate.

Link for the ...

I like the new color, definately unusual for typ44.
Maybe a chiquita logo on the side just for the fun?

Are NM cams any different from 7A cams ?

They have a bit less lift than 7A cams from what I've found out..

The stroker project got a small jump forward today.
I got a flywheel for 016 gearbox and 7a dampner from very friendly latvian guy through S2forum.

Next step is to take rotating assembly to be balanced and do some machining to block and head.
The aim is at 700hp, we'll see is it doable.

Thingies ...

Long time no posting, so time to add something.

After the suspension and front bushing overhaul, I had a totally different car on my hands and I loved it.
All the klonks and klunks have dissapeared and the car feels really firm to drive.

I even had a track day with this one just shortly after the ...

For someone else wondering: these lines are close, but not a 100% match.

Seems it was about time to change the shocks.

The upper mounts were also in grade a shape..

Should have done this a long time ago..

While I'm in ...

Are the lines from sedan S4 compatible to typ44?
4A0201544 vs. 443201544G?
These would only be like 100€ and I have already dropped the front subframe..

Nice digits on the dash.
What's that at the autocheck display?

Funny.. Just last week red about 280Z Datsun with aan engine, twin turbos, 10000rpm, billet diffuser plenum intake, and AEM Infinity ecu.

Nothing much happening here.. Stuck with the stroker build and efr dreams.

Why no water jackets to the block?
Great to see this going along.
