I've been banned of SF and frankly I'm sick of it to begin with (LONG story)
and I'm joining this community now.
I realize this is a MKIII forum BUT I have a surprise.
I'm swapping in a R154 tranny to my auto TT MKIV :aigo:
Since my 2 days of joining the site I've already obtained more "useful" knowledge of the tranny\setup than my 2yrs on SF, so I'm here to stay.
I guess this is the best place to do the buildup\progress thread (if not point me to the right place) so here we go.
Bought the car last winter stock from FL with blown engine. It had been wrecked on the front\passenger fender and had just been sitting at some mechanics shop for the last 2yrs collecting debris\hurricane damage.:cry:
Since then I've started revamping it in its entirety starting with a JDM shortblock and new brakes and seats.
Also while the engine was pulled I put on a SP57 single turbo and all the fixings. Spools at 3k and hits max boost\power around 4100rpm and holds there with a slight increase all the way to redline.
Power was at 419whp\397tq @ 0.8bar psi during dyno tune. I've since street tuned it and bumped it up to 1.1bar so should be pushing around 470whp. We'll see what happens @ SILV Dyno day.
R154 swap is being done by your boy Aaron @ driftmotion, where I'm also picking up the Custom Action clutch and LWFW as well for amazing prices, so if you need a new one hit that man up !
Also going in for a respray later this month since hurricane Katrina wasn't too kind to the car.
That's about it for now. Here's a few straight off the trailer to current status pics and I'll update further as progress is made on the car.
Off the trailer and into the garage:
First wash:
First drive:
First set of wheels (Work Equip oldschool 18x8.5 \ 18x9.5)
Engine:
