This is the mess I will be cleaning up by tryin to remove non needed items like the emissions solenoids. I am also going to reloom the entire thing and try to hide as much as possible, not Honda style, but enough to please the eye.

While I was at it I ordered new black carpet since my stock tan was trashed, it's almost ready to go in.

Here are some motor pics. The motor came out of a 95 AWD TSI that my brother bought broken, and since i had most of the necessary parts to complete a swap I got his block as payment Its a built 7 bolt with all ARP hardware, Eagle rods, and JE 9:1 pistons, and BS removed. Its been cleaned up since it was pulled and also painted.

NIIIIICE.

Enjoy the process!

BTW, love the paint color!

 

[AuntiesTSI]

The color is seriously one of the major things thats keepin from buying an AWD. FWD owns me

Nice project. Keep up updated.

Very nice! My removing of my 02 Housing turned into a complete turbo and 02 housing porting as well as a new radiator install. Funny how simple things do that.

Here is a corner of my room with some of my parts. All I really need now is a set of cams, I'm leaning towards the FP2's or maybe the Comp 101200's, and then my motor will be completely done other than minor things.

And after having my aunts T-belt almost shred in half due to an inappropriately tightened stubby shaft, and having seen what snapped belts and skipped timing does i got this also, . My car originally came with all Unorthodox pulleysso I didnt spend any money there.

And more misc. stuff. Motor mounts, fuel pressure guage, clutch line, manifold studs, "intercooler piping", etc.

Nice looking car, the color is gorgeous. I had a messed up front fender, and decided to paint the car because my paint was 14yrs old and faded as hell, but that has turned into gutting the interior, pulling the engine and tranny, building up the engine and tranny, and going all out on it, so from a summer long project, it has now turned to a 2 yr project (got accepted into college in August, and it put building it up off). Also one more thing is your engine assembly fully balanced? If not I would pull the underdrive crank pulley off and put a harmonic dampner back on.

[AuntiesTSI]

The entire rotating assembly was balanced, but does anyone have a link to the Fluidamper or whichever it is that I have been hearing about?

Here's a link to the Fluidampr harmonic balancer:

Good luck with the build,

There are some more updates now that I have had time to work on it.
I went with the Brian Crower cams, for 330 shipped I'm not complaining. My buddy has the 272's and loves them so I went with them.

I just mocked up the manifold, it won't be on when I go to put it in the car at the end of this month

For now I am keeping the Crankpulley on until I can afford a Fluidampner.

I've decided on going with the FP3052, so does anyone know what all I would need to make the install go a easily as possible when the time comes, such as which water pipe, lines, etc???

 

[AuntiesTSI]

Bringing the thread back from the dead!!!!

I recently was able to move my car from Omaha to a shop here in Lincoln that a few of my friends and I rent. Let the progress ensue.

New parts.

Something wrong here, my friends thought it was funny since they are huge Honda guys. This is better.
