Does anything go here in the engine block

[kneipperk]

So today i installed my engine and transmission back into my 1990 awd. I found 1 extra hole near the a/c bracket on the rear of the block. Im not sure if there is supposed to be anything that mounts here? Its the hole circled in red in the picture. i know the 4 blue circles are for the a/c mounting bracket (or whatever you call it). This was the only hole that was rusted so it kinda made me think nothing goes there but just want to be positive

Pretty sure nothing goes there

You're right, it goes unused.

Im pretty sure the intake manifold bracket is the uncircled holes in the pic. between the balance shaft bolt and the a/c bracket bolts... right in the center of the block

Nope, that's not the same hole. I've never used that bolt hole for anything.

on a side note... does this look familiar? not sure if it was to this car http://i.imgur.com/iE4Bzfm.jpg

And i dont know why my pics are only showing a link and not the actual picture. I been busy in the audi forums so i must be using the wrong link

No, the forum is screwed up, and the image URLs aren't resolving as images inline. Chris is working on it.

As far as the bracket: http://www.mirage-performance.com/EclipseGSX/Exhaust/downpipe009.jpg

wow, thank you! The joys of tearing a car apart and not putting it back together for 5 years (and 5 or 6 cars later)

I was told if i didn't have the car off my friends parents property by sunday jan 4th, it was going to be towed and sold for scrap metal. I tried my hardest... got the engine mounted. but now all the accessories and everything else. still have a few days of work left i think. They told me tonight that i have until the snow is gone... which i dont know if they mean like 3 days. or until may...

Love the Talon in the background . I have some teardown pics of mine, i will look and see if mine had a manifold bracket plus I have a virgin 90 GSX I could shimmy under and look...its cold here but looks worse for you....if you need it. I'm putting mine back together as weather/time permits. I will post a build log when I am in deep enough to start one.

I used that bolt hole for the JMFab coil pack bracket.

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

And I was just wondering where I was gonna mount my coil bracket. ...thanks!!!
