I'm running a set of Toga main and rod bearings. I couldn't fine anybody that had used them when I did my rebuild, so its kind of a guinea pig motor. But hopefully they work out for me and I'll keep everyone updated on them in the long and short term. -AM3

I have a compressor sitting in my attic, but unfortunately, I'm 330 miles away at school, so driving home to ship it will actually cost more money than I would get for it. I'll be home in like 5-6 weeks, so if you're interested, let me know. -AM3

Step 1: Build the shit out a 5M Step 2: Swap into a Mk IV Step 3: Win a lot of races Step 4: Still get laughed at for going backwards -AM3

This should have all the info you need. -AM3

Good plan. The added weight of the radiator/coolant and fuel tanks in the rear will help balance the weight out in the front a bit too. I can't wait to see this thing run. -AM3

I meant airflow over the radiator. And I was joking about the group buy, lol. -AM3

Will it get enough airflow there? Looks good so far, can't wait to see this run. What are the chances of a V12 swap kit group buy? :P -AM3

And because winter blend has more stabilizers etc, in it, to keep it from: 1) hard start issues when cold do to not enough volatility and 2) turning to crap or gel, although this is more common on Diesels -AM3

If I was you, with 250K on it, I wouldn't consider anything less than a full rebuild. If you are staying N/A, might as well go to a higher compression if you can find them. But most the stuff I see is for Turbo motors, not a lot of people stay N/A. -AM3

I forget the post but a guy on here bent valves on his because he had larger cams in it. -AM3

Do you have pictures? -AM3

87 5-spd turbo. -AM3

What was the problem with the car? It was a no start, right? I found a set for about $100, which is still a a bit steep, but considering that my brand new harness has a dealer cost of about $750 with tax, I'd rather spend an extra $100 than cut it. If it was my old original harness, I would...

If it was my old harness, I would have cut it, but I sold it to Moy, and I have a brand new OEM harness. Needless to say, I don't want to cut it, lol. -AM3

While searching for Denso injectors, I found these. http://www.corsportusa.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2282 This should work, right? -AM3

I just got my 550cc injectors, and seeing as I have a brand new harness, I'm not a huge fan of cutting it up and soldering. I was wondering if anybody knows if it is possible to disassemble the clip for the RC's, remove the clips from the OEM harness, crimp new pins onto the wires, and re-pin...

Yeah, you cleared any codes you might have had when you did that. If you had any, they may re-set after a short drive. -AM3

Seeing how bitter people get over a 5M in a Mk III, I really wish I had the money to build a 5M Mk IV... ^ FTL! If you want to do it, go for it. Why spend your money to build a car the way someone else wants? -AM3

Props to this build. Naperville? I live right by there, I might have to check this build out when I come up on break.

I would definitely be interested in buying one if you started producing them. -AM3
