Sadly, she isn't running. I still haven't decided for certain what to do. The wiring harness isn't burned that badly, and a friend of mine has access to color coded wiring schematics, so hopefully I'll be able to rewire it. What worries me is the engine, I'm pretty much convinced that I blew a coolant seal, although I'm still hoping someone, somewhere is suddenly going to tell me of something other than that which could overpressurize the cooling system, maybe a problem with the turbo.......Which I'm going to need another one of those as well....

Anyhow, my question for today: What besides new coolant seals would I need to rebuild a rebuild with about 5k miles on it? I'm sure I can get away with using the same apex and side seals, but what else can I get away with? I want to do this as cheaply as possible, without cutting any corners I'll regret later. I've tried searching, but the engine has trouble with "rebuilding a recently rebuilt engine"

 

She's back, and damn she's pretty. I don't know how, but I'm definately fixing her.

 

Hey I have a S4 Turbo harness that I dont need any more. All its missing is the Injector plugs You can have it for free if You need It. Just pay for shipping. I dont know the story of what happened to your car but it must suck. So If I can help let me know.

 

Thanks, I really appreciate that, but it wouldn't work. At the very least, the connecters to the ecu are different. As for the story, the short version is that I've had it a year and a half and only put 5k miles on her. But the most recent disaster is sweetened by the fact that I had full coverage, so now I've got the car paid off, still have the car, and have another 3300$ to spend.

 

Your sig says you have an 89TII. Did you mean to say that you have a s5 harness?

 

No I meant S4. Actually I have an S5 also. I wont need any of that anymore since I'm going microtech. I think I'll put them on E-bay.

yearrgh ..........Have you considered buying a MT LT8. The group buy is almost over June9

 

How much would that run me?

 

$710 includes ECU, software, wiring harness, laptop adaptor. That's all you need to get the car running. You get $50 back cause we met the quota.
This thing will pay for it's self in a few months because it will doulble your MPG. Imagine your car twice as fast at half the gas.
