Well since the last rolling road i did, i haven't really done a lot. Bought a BVH that was done by jabba. Porting looks tip top. Also bought a R1 charger, 3k miles from brand new off shelf. Porting looks soo much better than the PSD one thats currently fitted. Will be nice to see if there is any boost pressure differences when thats fitted. So now i have 3 chargers.
Bought a new clutch kit recently, when the box comes off for its rebuild then that will be going on, along with the lightened flywheel. Going to give the quaife diff a miss. Once the box is on it will be getting an MOT. Then its head off, charger off and replace a few parts like a knock sensor as mines seen better days and ISV.
Once thats on then i will be getting the car either driven or trailered to andy for a remap. Should be ready for april/may.
So, what i have done is fitted my newschrick cam and tappets. All lubed up and was a fairly easy task.
Here's new tappets
Then the 2nd and 4th bearing caps on, stage 1 torque.
All caps on, stage 1 plus the 90 degree final torque stage and new rocker gasket. Pic awaiting.
And new oil seal crank pulley end.
Once the head goes on then its all seals and gaskets replaced as well as thermostat housing, sensors and senders (oil and water).
Not gonna do waterpump as it was only done 4 months ago. All from vag and cost alot in the end. Oh well, i think in the long run its pays to buy the vag gear.
Except head bolts, £60 is alot when GSF do them for something like £2 a bolt. 2mm shorter but would that make a difference?
When the gearbox is off i will get some pics of it coming off as well as the clutch and flywheel replacement.
Hopefully if there done in time i will get a 51mm tb from justin before the remap.
