80q b4 2.2 20vt project

It was a quite big old FinnSonic washer.

[V6quattro]

what machine do you use?

[Thuppu]

Yes, need to be careful.

AAN sump was so dirty ugly, so I tried to ultrasonic wash it. Had also a 7A cam cover that I washed. They turned out quite nice.

[V6quattro]

Trigger works great yes but be careful tightening the 2 bolts for the sump as mine cracked a little and is weeping a little oil now

[Thuppu]

Some small progress with the bottom end. Pistons and rods assembled and fitted in the block. Checked the rod bearing clearance with plastigauge, all was in good spec.







Installed also the VAG 60-2 rear crank trigger. Need to send my VEMS for a small VR->Hall modification. This trigger should be bulletproof.

Thomas does not understand when enough is enough

Finally got another car finished, so today I started to build the engine. Had to choose between a really good condition NG bottom end and a little more worn AAN block. Desided to make it out of the AAN because I trust the turbo pistons little more.

NG block:


AAN block, new KS main bearings...


Crank installed. Bulk 12.9 grade main bolts torqued to 76Nm.


Then I had to decide the head. 3 7A, 2 AAN. Decide to use the second from left, 7A that has the water manifold holes and waterjacked done. The left one is also a 7A head, fully ported and it goes in the UrS.

Are you hoarding these things?

[Kiku]

Lucky man.

Wow, really much done here... not.

But got the wheels from powder coating. In fact I got message they are ready two weeks ago, but I forgot to collect them.

[sandman1111]

Mine looked like that, but sadly I managed to ruin one wheel, and now I´m missing one 17" 8.0 et35 wheel. Artec Edition L

Now I ave Borbet Motorsport wheels, but they are in a bad condition and look horrible. If I put winter wheels on, they will get new paint.

[Kiku]

Couple of years ago when i still had 4x108 pattern.

[kessu74]

Yes.



... there is a black S2 coupe in Finland with such rims, I have seen it live: looks very nice.

What is width and et??

[Thuppu]

For a start I will just get the engine finished and mapped, then the car registered and MOT:ed with the 2.2 20vt engine. Nothing more planned at this point. Bigger mods then on the UrS...

[sandman1111]

I´m happy that someone has a b4 sedan like I do. Only different engine I´m looking forward for future mods. What brakes and suspension mods will be coming?
