S2 Avant -93

It does not hit the rail, it's pretty close but doesn't touch. Maybe I will add a couple of shims under the right engine mount to raise it just a little bit.

It's a precision 5558 turbo with a 55mm compressor inducer and it's advertised horsepower rating is 650hp. We will see how this turbo works once everything is ready for tuning.

I have an adjustable Tommi's Billet cam pulley. However it was not a direct fit. I had to grind it from several places so that it doesn't interfere with the cam sensor.

This steel ring holding down the cam sensor wheel was too thick. I used an angle grinder to make it a little thinner. Also the bolts had to be shortened.

Dremel and a sanding drum used here.

Now it's better. I used a 0,2mm feeler gauge between the sensor and the wheel and it fits. I take it's enough clearance.

New flywheel came. It weighs under 6 kilos.

Bolted the engine and gearbox together to make sure no rubbing of anykind is present anymore.

The new flywheel does not have the TDC marking on the outer circumference. With the aid of a dial indicator and a degree wheel I set cyl 1 to TDC.

Red marking pen and a scribe was used to make a new marking. Now it should be fairly easy to find TDC when I need to.

Tomorrow will be a day to install the box and engine in the car!
