you had the motor parts balanced up..?

 

Yep don't want any nasty rattles only going to run upto 8200 rpm when its all set up.

 

lol, only 8200.. WINNER!!!

 

great looking build mate , did you do the end float measurments on the crank ?

 

Yes not much room for error there, when new Thrust washers are fitted and a nice fit

 

Well here's today's mission

Fit the 16v Head.

ARP Head Studs all fitted using ARP Thread Lube


1.9mm ABF Steel head gasket 83.5mm bore (1.5mm compressed)

Just looking at the Microsquirt ECU Has anybody got any links for a base map ?

Cheers

 

Making progress now, just need to fit the new heat wrap to the exhaust that Nige gave me !
Just the rocker gasket to fit , and then drop the Engine into the MK1 before fitting everything else.


Euorspeed distributor blank fitted.



Could do with a new steel water pipe, the existing one is abit out of shape now, are these main dealer only ?

Can't decide wether to fit the Poly side mount insert ! had them for ten years and can't make my mind up.


Microsquirt ECU & Loom has been collected to.


The wiring is straight forward now, 2 x 12v feed, 12v switch feed, - Ground, Rev counter feed, boot loader, Fuel pump feed.

 

Looking very good mate !

 

Cheers Nige tried phoning the other day to see if you want to have a go with the Microsquirt Mapping ! ready for when you build yours and also it will give you chance to copy the loom set - up

 

Jenvey Throttle cable bracket fitted, but requires a spacer i think for a clear link to the Jenvey's when fitted.


Old water heater matrix supply pipe requires changing i think ! are these main dealer only ?


Alternator fitted

 

i got a new pipe from the dealers. didn't think it cost too much.

builds looking good.

what are those poly side mounts for?

 

They are Poly inserts for both side engine mounts ! i never fitted them in the past as i was told they rattle your teeth out if you fit them

 

doing a great job ther brookster,should be a serious valver when all mapped up. hope you don,t mind me askin but what is the touqe settings and tightening order for the arp head bolts , cheers paul

 

dont fit the poly inserts ive made that mistake before they vibrate the engine unlessyou want your teeth to chatter when accellerating lol

can you pm me some price for a dit nos kit or a link to the website

 

Looking awesome bud, cant wait to hear it!

 

What front and gearbox mounts were you using then - the standard type mounts, especially that front snubber are the main contributors to vibration

 

80lb/ft when new stretch them 3 times by torquing up and back. 16v head is as per vw manual.

 

Ben i've pm'd you the price

don'd think i will fit the Poly side mounts, i have poly front and rear mounts already and they rattle your teeth out.

The front mount also has two large plates welded on to strengthen the front panel. After the last front panel i had wasn't strong enough.

 

Just looking at throttle cable options !

Shall i use the existing cable that might not be long enough, i remeber from years ago everyone used the cable from 1300 carb MK1 due to its length.

or shall i get a Weber one for Twin carb set - up ?

Hmmm

over to you Bill ! were are you ?
