I think we would all agree that affordable rear 2g awd axles would be nice to see. Dsm grave yard has rears for 275 but no one wants to deal with them.

At least get an afc or a maft. And for sure get a wideband!

Go for it then, be sure to post pics and updates!

First of all I must say I strongly suggest you dont do this considering the major power loss you will suffer. But if you must do it your going to need to use the ecu and harness out of your vw no question. You will also need to rig up your diesel fuel pump into the dsm tank. If your friend is a...

The idle is supposed to drop when its warm, on cold starts it idles high to get temp up and once it gets warm the idle is supposed to drop.

Seems like a good buy. Look at it like this, a running 4g63t engine 600 all day. Trans and t case, prob 3 or 400. 16g if its mhi 250 to 300. You got your money back right there and the rest is profit.

Well looks like I over tightened the bolts then! After the quarter turn they are like 66ft pounds! So what do I do now?

Well today I got the crank bolted in, I did plastic gauge first then I cleaned and lubed everything and torqued my mains down to 18ft lbs and a quarter turn. I used my old mains is that a big deal? And I used the same sequence as we do for our head studs.

Thanks guys ill grab a felpro.

Ok guys I just got a rebuild kit, I went with an evergreen. Would any of you use this head gasket? Im going to use the other gaskets and king bearings but idk if I should use this head gasket.
