fully built e85 91 awd tsi

[b17]

Well, I have my build on a few local forums and normally only lurked around on here to learn what I was getting into. I had owned a gvr4 YEARS ago and gotten in over my head. Now that I am older/wiser with how to work on my cars I am trying my hand again at a 4g63. This is what I ended up with. I traded a lsvtec swapped autox hatch for this.

It came with a bad rings and stuttering issues but came with plenty of stuff to sell off of it that I didn't want.

Day I picked it up.

I sold the intake, 16g, maf translator, front mount set up, and a few other parts and started buying this stuff.

Master power t70 with garret airresearch 4 bolt hot side along with rev-hard manifold. The bottom wastgate flange is deleted and moved to the top/side.

Built block with scat rods, mahley pistons, arp everywhere, refurbished front case, new water pump, balance shaft delete...

had the head rebuilt with all the bc stuff

sorry for dirty lens. Brian crower valves and titanium retainers

On the built block

how it sat last month. Have a few more things done to it but it's been slow since it has been back to school for me

with timing done

as of right now I am ordering fic 1650's from the group buy on here, I have a stm -6an fuel line kit on its way. Also a walboro 400lph pump, 12.5x12x4.5in water to air inter cooler, water/bilge pump, fuel rail an adapters, and a 4 bolt three inch down pipe that will have to be modified

thanks to those of you who put in the effort to make the faq's. They helped out. Coming from being in hondas for 6 years I didn't even know were to begin.

I will update as new work is being done. Maybe I can get some real input besides the "put a lsx in it"....

Edit: I have been looking into swapping a auto into it with a higher stall, good clutches, and a shift kit. My power goals way exceed the limits of the stock five speed and I can not justify the cost of a fully built five speed...

cant wait to see more build looks good so far! keep us posted.

just a bunch of little stuff left to do, but it seems like the hardest part of getting this done. I am hoping to get it running next week on 93oct with the fic 750's that are in it now. We'll see.

looks like a very nice set up...you made great progress..what are the power goals you are trying to reach? with that turbo

 

[b17]

it will do mid 500awhp at about 25psi. which is where ill be staying at untill i can get a complete auto set up or $4k for a built trans. then its on to 700+. at that point i will need lots more fuel through -8an lines or bigger plus a double pumper in tank set up....or switch to race gas


on a side not:

welp it looks like i'll be getting rid of the talon early. Well at least the shell any way. I'll be trading it for a 92 gsx with a mildly built auto trans with a shift kit minus motor on his side too. He cant sell the auto for some reason so we are going to switch engines and shells. So now my built motor will be in a car that will be handle the power and turbo a little better. yeah for no turbo lag after 1st gear...

Ok, engine was taken back out and shells were swapped. Havent been able to work on it latley but 99% are here. My stm fuel line kit, fic 1750's, walboro 400lph pump, and battery relocation came in. once I have time progress will come.
