[paris hilton voice] thats hawt [/paris hilton voice]

 

Looks clean!

Time for a radiator

 

Looks good, congrats.

 

Dont forget the hose clamp on the upper rad hose .

Very nice.

 

i didnt know national public radio made intercoolers...


sweet man

 

Yeah.. i know im probably going to need a rad, however.. im going to TRY to drive around (w/o boosting the **** out of it) for the rest of the winter on the stocker (hey, it was 30 BELOW today w/windchill)

I know about the rad hose, right after i took that picture, i finnaly put coolent in it.. started it up, and watched the waterpump **** ALL OF MY COOLENT OUT of the back of the pump.. joy.. time to take it all back apart again

made my own gaskets from some fiber gasket stuff and waterpump gaseket in a tube stuff, doesnt leak anymore, and is all back together. Problem right now is S4 rad + S5 waterpump ='s no way to fill cooelnt system and no nipple to overflow bottle. Im giong to cut an s4 thermostat housing and put it inline in my upper hose to allow for both

Omg that's so ****** sexy. I wish I had the cash (and skills...seeing as how I would never be able to do this w/o sending it to a shop) to do that swap on my car. How much did you end up paying for the engine alone?

 

looking good and good luck!

 

I would describe myself as 'mechanicly inclined' but not to much more. I take **** apart and put it together. The engine/tranny/rearend turbo manifold was just a weeklong bolt affair, The Intercooler exhaust and wiring was the only custom stuff and with that i just went slow. It wasnt very hard

The Engine was just over 1100 shipped, no that isnt a typo, that i paid just over 1k for the motor before shipping for a longblock 13b-re, it was sold though a member, i can give ya the contact if ya want, just pm me

Very sexy!

 

Nice
I might consider the 13B-RE instead of the stock T2 engine...i'll have to think about it.

 

looks real good i was going to do a re swap in mine but i decided to just build up my motor

 

What kind of couplers are you using for your FMIC?

 

Do you have any more pics of the intercooler piping by any chance?

 

They kind of look like the Home Depot couplers I had on my old TurboII. If they are, start looking for some Samco couplers because those will split sooner than later. Sweet job on the engine Everything looks good.

 

Your right and damn.. that sucks. I was happy at the original $4 a coupler which included the hose clamps..

 

Yes, 2 more i think, they are under the driverside of the car where it turns and goes up, ill find them tonight after work

 

What is the difference between this motor and the one from the 3rd gen, I believe its called the 13B REW?

Do you use the cosmo RE engine becuase the motor mounts are the same and its better than the TII engine?

enlighten me, i have no idea

 

Nice work. Looks like you're having fun.

 

That'd be my question. I haven't done a ton of swap research yet, but it's definatly peaking my interest more everyday. It seems to be cheaper then buying a TII and a hell of alot more fun ripping everything apart.

 

I used to think that the RE engine was actually the newest FD engine found in the 98 versions and stuff, and the REW was the older 93 engine. Obviously I was wrong.

Bump***

 

I drew tears when i saw this...literely great job man!! =)

 

Very nice install. Hope the V4 Wolf is a great as it seems

Where did you mount your aftermarket (Bosch?) Trailing Coil ignitor?
