have always been hesitant to start a project thread with all the other monster cars on this board few pics to start .. have to re-upload all my photos as my hosted site got deleted

[mushasho]

no need to feel hesitant... just go with the flow... now don't be shy and post some pics...

Nice car Justin. Honored to put another IMS header on a really nice urS car.

[JustinB_20vt]

Figured i would go back a year or so and catch my project up to date

Bottom end painted (choosing a color was the hardest part of the build) and assembled


Head back from the shop all shined up with pricey parts added


and finally engine back in... after a few hours fighting with a leaky harbor freight engine hoist that won't maintain height


Bought a V8 rear diff which cam with a bunch of bolts seized with their head cut off. after trying a bunch of options welding a piece of mild steel to the bolts worked slick. still need to rebuild or re-seal the V8 diff which i will probably do at the same time i re-assemble my 6-speed EDU



Oil cooler and air cowling visible in this pic... I will most likely move the oil cooler to the drivers side with the new turbo setup. Driving around with this look really seems to scare other drivers

[FRCFD5]

very nice!

[amd is the best]

Looks awesome. Welcome!

[2.5TYPE44]

That is a mean looking car!

[JustinB_20vt]

Thanks all

few pics of modifying the Stromung downpipe

im holding it back together in this pic; its cut just before the reducer


Flex coupler tacked on one side


and most importantly yesterday i joined the "Fine Art Appreciation" club. Dont know wether to mount on the car or on my wall... thanks Hank

[Hank]

Quickly turning into one of the more desired urS cars in North America. Nice parts

[chaloux]

Wery nice!! You sure that's an rs2 turbo?

Lol Matt i should use that pic when i sell my RS2. it's a gtx3071 small by this boards standards

[All_Euro]

Pretty stoked to see what the GTX 3071 will do on your engine - what kind of onset and power/torque curve are you expecting?

[JustinB_20vt]

goal will be to test case for the claims for the gtx. spool like a 3071 and hopefully make 440+ at the wheels.

On pump? Hopefully bigger than "RS2" injectors too...

[Hank]

Justin is a smart dude, he has all the components to make this thing 440whp capable.

I think 440whp on pump might be a tad bit of a stretch, but I think 400whp on pump is doable. I think 450whp is doable iwth a lot of boost on e85 or exotic fuel.

Hank

[JustinB_20vt]

yes yes bigger injectors, bigger fuel rail and lines if necessary and most likely have a tune for e85 and one for 100-o

Awesome. This is reportedly a "lazy" turbo on the 1.8T but should have a nice broad power-band with your extra cylinder… can't wait to see how it does

[Hank]

Everything is lazy with 1.8L worth of displacement in a 3500 pound car

took some time off this week to do the downpipe and oil/water lines ...


downpipe is only tacked in this picture but I finally came up with a purge setup for my TIG welder and did the main welding last night... the flex coupler took forever and with purge gas i need more argon now :(

still waiting on more parts to fab & tack up the wastegate provisions.. once i get more gas ill add some o2 sensor bungs as well.

question for you experienced welders how many tacks should i make on the vband flange to keep it from warping, i have 4 now and am thinking 8 or 16?

[Hank]

6-8 is enough, I would just make sure you weld the flange with it attached to the hotside and the clamp tightened down really well. This will ensure that the flanges doesn't walk around.

Setup looks really nice.

Did you find 10mm tube nuts or did 3/8 look good?

Are you .63 or .82 AR?

.82 housing. For the water line i was unable to find tube nuts but i am thinking change in plans and have a -6AN male silver soldered to the tube itself.. cheaper than buying a tube nut and metric flare kit also the downside is i have to remove it to take to a hydraulic shop

[ringbearer]

Getting that line out is kind of a pain but that is a good plan
