i will be at the meet next week. gonna get my tires put on thursday.

 

I will be there next week also and hopefully be driving my new addition by augusts meet.
The custom driveshaft was delivered yesterday so all I need left is a few small items. Engine is running perfect right now and after finding cracks in my LIM, installing new o-rings on the injectors.

Exhaust is a little to quit but sounds great. Running collected RB headers to a full RB rev TII exhaust system. I had to cut of the old 3in flange on the presilencer and welded a new 2 1/2in flange at a different angle and distance to let the system all bolt up.

After working on my last turbo 7 were the previous owner shortcutted just about everything I am making to do this one right, this project should be more reliable than my current v8 setup and almost as quick.
The engine is a S5 rebuilt by me with a medium-large street port. Running all s5 electronics including ecu with a rtek2.1 chip (regret not just going with a standalone for the amount of time and money involved with this setup). Both VDI and auxillary ports are functional with Pineapple Racing sleeve inserts. Decided stock intake with K&n filter is superior to all the aftermarket hot air intakes. Exhaust as mentioned before is a custom complete system by Racing Beat.

Not a mod but did a manual swap using a gem of a TII tranny.

Next on the list is suspension components and a GTU's Differential. I am just stoked that this project is nearing a point were I can drive it after almost a year.

Thank you Jesse for the clean low mileage Fc and Transmission.
Thank you Robert for all the advice and engine components.
Will keep you guys updated with pictures.

Haha, we're still glad to hear everything is coming along, Will!


Het do you think you could do me a favor and measure the hole in your hatch (where the wiper used to be)? I'm going to start looking for plugs and I need to know the size. If I finds some I'll get a few and give them away.

Rick you're freakin hilarious. You should have been to the last meet. Laughs were plentiful with the combination of Addison, Matt, Tim, and shoot... I forget his name. But he has a white s5 GTU and lives in Olympia.

I will NOT be there this Friday, atleast, I don't think I will be...

No really, I think I'm going to Catalina.

 

so 2 fridays ago matt found out my TPS doesnt work. i pulled engine codes the other day and surely enough, the TPS code came on (1 long blink, 1 short blink, repeat).
so, does anyone have a TPS i can have? or wants to sell for a buck?
HOOK IT UP!!!!

 

You don't really need a working TPS anyways

 

but i really need a working car

 

working tps makes a worlds different. especially on gas mileage. Last thing u want is your car runnin lean >.< plus random idles sucks ballz i been down that road before

 

i can check that intake i got see if it has one on there

 

Wish I was going there... not enough splash time so far this year. Too damn busy.
