3b s2 coupe resurrection

[andy10v]

YES YES YES! Get it all nailed together n come up to Crail on Banzai day with me to annoy some japs! What other injectors do you have? I might take the DP bit off your hands if you decide to sell it.

lol, no crail, I think launching would be pushing my luck with clutch and rear diff.

Spare injectors are Delphi 440cc.

Current plan is to install the stock downpipe, fit the new exhaust, then maybe later finish off the 3" downpipe.

I will let you know if its going.

hey, I know those pieces.....................................
hopefully soon on the road with your car

Thanks Nick

Looking forward to this!

Cheers, me too!

haha, good work Andy
I'd just bolt it all back together with the 3B inlet. Just a larger intercooler left to sort then?

Cheers Alex, seems like the most "sensible" plan.

Already had a FMIC fitted

[quattro-nick]

big ic you have there!
do you have a rs2 front bumper for that?

[andy10v]

Stock bumper (actually v6, so no washer jets)

[andy10v]

Another couple of hours, bellhousing bolts fitted, and swapped turbos/manifolds

This is getting silly



Old and new



Back here again



Oil filter housing off to get to the middle nuts (new manifold has much bigger runners)



New manifold on



RS2 turbo on



Removal, wheel bolt in the centre to push off.





New billet goodness



And then ECP sent the wrong idler pulley



And then ECP sent the wrong timing belt





And that was the end of any car enthusiasm for tonight

I'd have gotten cross and broken something.

ECP's window with the pulley!!

Keep up the good work Andy..

[andy10v]

More slow progress.

Gates timing belt kit from the local motor factors, comes with an INA bearing.



Water manifold with new seals



Fitted



Water feed to turbo run round the front of the block, rear timing belt cover fitted.
New water pump seal
New idler
New timing belt fitted.
New oil filter and oil, cranked the engine over by hand.



Oil feed fouls the coldside, does the coldside just need clocked a bit or the line gently fettled? Water feed looks tight as well

hi andy
on my AAN engine was the rs2 turbo with that manifold a straigt swap so oil and water pipes fitted well for me
maybe a 3b has other pipes?

[martinws]

I cant wait for you to finish this so i can get a run in it.
Campbell still has ABY oil and water lines i think so let me know if you need them. I think someone has used AN fittings for oil inlet on bigger compressors, Tonks maybe.
I think ill get mine made up at hydraulics place down the road from me when the time comes.

[rynaqui]

On the ABY when I switched to wagner manifold and RS2 turbo the water line needed some bending to fit right, don't think we had any problems with the oil line as far as I can remember

[quattro-nick]

it's a rs2 turbo that he bought from me

[K Simmonds]

That's odd I've got a 12-15 mm clearance on my 3B with RS2 stuff bolted on.

On a more positive note your can't go wrong with Gate's belt kit's their OE quality.

[andy10v]

Thanks guys

Is the coldside clocked slightly different on an AAN?

Probably just heat it gently and bend it, best get my dad to heat it though, last time I tried heating a thin pipe I just slagged it
