Another update after a bit of time in the garage....

Arp studs in:



Victor Reinz on



Head on and torqued down



Clutch installed



Ancillaries installed






Now waiting on a crank pulley, top cambelt cover for the 16v head, fuel pump to fuel rail injector pipe, and need to pressure wash the bay and gearbox.

wow thats really tidy. great job sam!

[zx_volcane]

Ace work as always, really keen to see this going.

Dunno bout the gold / bronze / sparkly poo brown block - might grow on me.

Have you used some heat protection on those hoses or is it oem? looks like a silicone wrap...

[Poodle]

LOVE that colour on the block, hope you don't mind if i steal that for my next build.

[Sambarker]

Bit more progress on the build



Fitted my new crank pulley but now needs an even shorter belt as diameter of crank pulley is smaller than the stock one



Gearbox cleaned up, painted and fitted along with new fork bushes and driveshaft seals



Now starting to look at turbo mounting.....

.....and manifold fabrication

jesus christ a log manifold

dw sam piggy did the same thing and there were several pages of how he was an idiot for using a log manifold followed by ruan or welshpug saying it made little to no difference.

I'm not worried! If it's good enough on big power tdi audis im sure it will be more than fine for a 4 pot pug diesel, and the turbo will more than adequately make up for any inefficiencies on the manifold

I meant dont worry about people saying things. Simply referencing the same debate which seemed to go on forever on piggys thread a few weeks back.

[Danny Wideboy]

That was the end of Piggy posting on here really, and I don't blame him.
He didn't deserve that flaming, most people saying stuff in his thread weren't even building anything half as awesome as he was, and did before.
/O.T

Good work Sam.

[Paul Baldwin]

The poor snowflake melted......

[Danny Wideboy]

Three quarters of both his threads about his cars are people arguing,either with him or each other
I think he put up with plenty before "melting away".

Sorry Sam, I'll stay out of your thread now.

[Matt-Rallye]

Good progress there sam! How much smaller is that crank pulley to make that kinda difference on the belt?

[Sambarker]

The belt was already shorter than stock as I got rid of the aircon, the belt now with the new crank pulley is about another 40mm shorter

New shorter belt fitted, actually an OEM psa item from a 307

Sorry Sam I didn't know it needed a shorter belt as it never got fitted

Awesome. I really want to see this one in the flesh to be honest. Nice idea turbing the phase 3 to 1 then 16v its all sorts or win IMO.

[damiank94]
