Feeler: 1990 Pearl CQ with build AAN+VEMS+Holset
Posted: Mon May 19, 2014 7:03 pm
Hey guys, I am planning on moving from Minneapolis, MN to downtown Pittsburgh, PA and I've been having the uneasy feeling that I should sell my Coupe project.
Over the weekend I received an offer on the car as-is. The car is currently immobile due to a broken shift linkage. It also needs to be tuned, the door panels installed, the headliner recovered and installed, as well as all of the interior pillar covers. There might also be a mouse nest in the heater box
I acquired the car and started rebuilding it in April 2011 so most of the work is only 2-3 years old.
Here are the Specs:
Engine:
-AAN with ~9k on the rebuilt and balanced bottom end
-Rebuilt cylinder head has ~1k miles
-RHD ABY S2 engine harness
-VEMS PnP with base tune
-60lb injectors
-Scat rods
-ARP hardware
-Coated bearings
-New intake valves
-Stainless Steel exhaust valves
-Supertech springs and retainers
-Lightweight lifters
-7A cams
-New CPS
-Apikol ignition coil conversion with updated coilpacks

-Holset HX35W with 12cm divided housing (WG port has been welded shut)
-Custom turbo inlet with crankcase breather port
-Iroz modified AAN intake manifold
-Big ebay intercooler with 2.5" inlets
-Custom 2.5" intercooler piping powdercoated to match valve cover
-URS6 snub mount bracket with Apikol mount (provides better IC clearance)
-New radiator

-AAN serp. belt setup with A/C deleted. This uses a 1300mm belt.
-New engine mounts
-3" turbo-back exhaust
-Partially rebuilt P/S pump
Drivetrain
-Lightened 7A flywheel
-Spec stg3+ clutch
-01E 5spd from a 95 S6 with custom mounts
