nothing really new to update.. I did however buy my ACT lightweight flywheel yesterday...

 

Well ACT's website is wrong.. the flywheel I bought will NOT work on my car so now I am out the time and money in order to get the flywheel and resell it then buy a new one to get the engine installed!!!

this is why I HATE ACT!!!!

 

thats why you shoulda bought a racing be flywheel. sorry to hear that you got screwed.

 

Why won't it fit?

 

dude, just keep the flywheel and switch to a NA driveline...you are going to want to do this anyway.

 

the flywheel is for a turbo drive line and i guess hes using a n/a trans

 

CORRECT....

Screw Racing beat.. I sell Fidanza I will just buy a new fidanza...

I'm using the n/a drive train so the flywheel has to be an N/A flywheel... I bought a turbo ACT flywheel ONLY because ACT website said n/a and T2 are the same..

I hate ACT.. They always seem to be in it for the money and dont give a crap about customer service... I called them talked to the tech guy and his words were...

Even if our catalog is wrong why did u not check with other manufactures to see what they say, before purchasing ours..

My reply..

BECAUSE I BOUGHT YOUR PRODUCT NUMB NUTS!!!!!

CLICK!!!

 

that sucks, sorry to hear that spooled.

 

Alex if u need it this will work on ANY turbo engine (S4 or S5).. I will sell it to u for a great deal!!!

 

ha if only i had a torque wrench for 300ftlbs!

 

I have a 250 ft/lb... Just use that and then push a little harder.

 

1/2"?

 

iono I'm just gonna wing it lol

btw I sold the flywheel... so its all good I will buy the correct one hopefully tomorrow.

 

Ok I got my boost sensor on the way to me... bought a new oem release bearing, oem pilot bearing and seal, oem clutch fork and clip and a few gaskets...

I'm getting closer!!!

 

OK today I ordered up my S4 N/A Fidanza flywheel BRAND NEW!!!!

 

let me know how that flywheel fits i might get one

 

I have used them in the past on other applications.. I love Fidanza..

 

Why not get the TII drivetrain parts and do it the correct way the 1st time?
I can sell the:
TII trans
TII diff
TII axles
TII d-shaft
$850.00 plus shipping

Your Na drivetrain will not old up long the TII motor swap...

 

I have a turbo trans... I am going to run this setup this season then do the turbo swap next winter...

I have lots of mileage of break in I doubt I will get much time to play with it..

I'll be fine..

BTW tomorrow I order up the stage 3 Spec 6 puk sprung hub clutch

 

I just order my Spec stage 3 clutch kit.. should be here by Monday!

 

Its here...






just under 8 lbs...

Today I will be going out to buy some new grade 8 bolts to bolt the flywheel to the counterweight.. Tonight I plan to get this baby torqued down and ready for the clutch...

I cant wait its getting closer!!!

 

Isnt that a set of new bolts i see in the box?

 

those bolts are for the pressure plate to the flywheel...

 

OK today was the day... Unfortunately I could not find any grade 8 metric bolts to bolt the flywheel to the counter weight and my clutch has not arrived yet so I got everything else ready..

First I started but going outside jacking the car up and getting everything disconnected (trans, oil cooler lines, engine mounts etc). RX7Tuner showed up and gave me a hand and after a little coaxing I got him to give me a hand and yank the engine out by hand (My buddy Aaron was gonna be over in about 45 minuted with a cherry picker but I knew we could do it)

Here is what happen before I pulled the engine






Engine is out:



the engine bay

 

RX7tuner had to take off and about 10 minutes later Aaron shows up.. so
then I decided to pull the clutch off and take a peak since I knew it was toast









We then decided to bring the engine up from the basement and outside...

Imagine the engine bolted to the stand and this is what we had to deal with

Coming up these stairs



then through the hall and down these stairs
