Jeff is on a roll and has the short block built out. The expertise and quality of the build has far exceeded my expectations. Very happy that I was able to get a engine built before he retires.

Beautiful work man

I took Varia's suggestion and purchased the upgraded Ultra Tandem brake booster and master cylinder kit. The machine work for the mount is 1st class. The only thing I would complain about is the kit came with everything but the to specail nuts to attach the master cylinder to the booster, which you have to order from VW or Audi...here is the P/N if needed WHT-000-428

Jeff got back the pistons from being ceramic coated, crank is back from balanced and polished journals. We got lucky and Jeff got the last set of Mahle main bearings in the US, so now the assembly has begun. Check out the video on how easy the crank spins....just perfection.

Received the waste gate and turbo inlet. I did a quick mock up on the exhaust manifold and it looks great. The angle of the T3 flange is not angled as much as some other manifolds I have seen, so I hope that everything fits. If not, I will cut the flange off and rotate to fit.

Head is finished up and looks awesome.

New guides installed, reamed and honed for proper stem clearance. Seat cutting and final assembly next week.

Anyone know where I can buy a Audi B3 90/CQ shifter base plate in the picture?

Thanks Varia. I just ordered from 034, otherwise I was looking at buying from UK.
Here is 034 link if anyone needs it

Part 2 pictures on shifter linkage

[Blagave]

I'm doing the 01E 6 speed upgrade and here are the changes that being done on my build.
1. Sub frames are S2 Verkline
2. S2 Hubs, Cv's & Axles
3. RS2 trans mounts
4. C4 Shifter box
5. C4 shifter rod to shifter
6. B3 90/CQ shifter base plate
7. 01A shift linkage (form 5 speed)
8. 01E linkage

Big Thanks to Varia, who was kind enough to provide the details on the shifting linkage mods and parts needed. I found the C4 shifter box and its on its way. I started modifying the shift linkage.

The 01E linkage mounts lower and to side verse the 01A and the linkage needs to mount like the 01A.
I cut the shifter mount off the 01E that connects to the shift indicator rod and used it to attach the ball mount off the 01A linkage.
The 01A linkage needs to have the end that connects to the shifter rod shorten by 1/2", but it needs to be shorten from the end that is welded to the tube so the clamp remains.
The linkage tube needs to be lengthen by 1" and that's because there is a difference in length from the connection to the engine and the gear selector rod on trans. I tacked weld a piece of angle iron on the linkage and then cut the linkage so I would maintain the correct orientation when welding back together.
I used a piece of solid stock material and turned the ends down so they would slip into both ends of the linkage tubing. The with another piece of angle iron, I clamped everything together getting the correct alignment and welded.
Lastly, I welded the 01A ball mount onto the 01E mount.

I still need a aluminum mount from EFI to attache the cross link.
