hey guys. as some of you may know i had this car....

 

 

after a few months it lookt like this...

 

 

 

after 4 months ive finally bought this.... :)

 

 

Its NA, and auto (not my cuppa tea :p )

 

ive got the TT manual engine and box out of mine ready for the swap, will be going in soon.

 

il take lots of pics tomo, as going to be spending all weekend onit, quite a lot to do,

 

the shell doesnt look as shiney as does in the pics, been standing a while, but hope comes up real nice with a good hot wash and polish :)

seats removed, as you can see the drivers bolster needs swapping...

 

 

 

manual gearbox...

 

 

the VG30DE stripped a bit ready to be removed.....

 

 

 

complete pain in the arse, one of the difficult-est things to remove was the steering boss!! (momo boss, with nardi torino adapter)

 

i smashed the majority of the steering column trying to remove this!!

 

 

back end of the car with new tailgate and standard lights back on, and bumper

 

 

and the old one being scrapped :cry:

 

 

 

engine swap is set for thursday, so il have an update on the weekend ;)

woops,

 

if someone can edit above

 

heres the gearbox...

 

 

 

and the IC pipes removed :)

 

might wanna replace that icooler? or just for test fitment?

just for test fitment. somehow it got damaged, even tho the other side of the car got hit. :confused:

engine & box is in the new car, starts :)

 

not driving etc yet as the intercooler pipes arent connected, but starts thats the main thing!

 

used the Auto Loom, Manual TT ECU.

 

 

had bit of stress calculating how to do the prop combination, and had to swap the powersteering belts from the NA block.

 

 

anyway, the driver seat has the usual bolster damage, so swapping the top half with one of the seats from the NA car.

 

 

complete pain in the arse removing the rings that hold it, and removing the headrest bit etc

 

 

oh, and incase anyone thaught i kept the lightning clocks heres the proper ones lol

 

Good work mate! Coming along nicely! That offside IC looks a mess though!?

yea its just there to check i remembered how the IC pipes went on.

 

ive got some new ones courtesy of Anthonyd :duffer:

 

should have the car back tomo, take shots of the engine bay etc etc.

 

looking forward to seing how the new NA diff/prop is going to be with the TT engine :)

 

not looking forward to 7PSI tho, need electric controller as i kept the NA loom

7Psi? You're wanting it to be running on 9. That's stock boost.

yea, but as ive converted the car from NA to TT,

 

there is no connection on the NA loom for the boost solenoids.

 

so the ECU will be telling it to go safety boost, which is 7PSI.

 

so need to get an electronic boost controller, so can turn the boost up. il be running it on about 14PSI then :)

incase anyone forgot, or was interested, heres a pic of the car in its current state

 

 

 

 

 

Twin Turbo Engine in

 

 

 

proof of no Hicas solenoid lol

(also removed all the now obselete automatic swtiches and wiring there)

 

 

 

its all up & running, gota sort the piping on the drivers wastegate, and connect the drivers side intercooler.

 

clutch is all bled :xxx:

 

MOT is next week :)

Looks like your making some good progress there matey!

 

You still got the clock surrounds? Would like to try something with them if ya have?
