We received the correct rod bearings this past thursday and was able to finish putting the crank back together today. Have some pictures of the progress today plus some of the components cleaned up I'm still trying to get a parts list together so bare with me. http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/DSCN0088.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/DSCN0089.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/DSCN0090.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/DSCN0091.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/DSCN0102.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/DSCN0103.jpg

I have no idea but that would be a pretty radical swap! I know that the body is pretty bare when everything is out of it so probably with some good metalworking skills it maybe would be possible.

basically these engines were the same as the ones used in the 930 regarding the heat, it ALWAYS worked well. the stock setup also had exchangers on them. Basically, you weren't ever cold in the car haha

Yeah, we were really happy to find out that the motor in this 911 had Nikasil cylinders instead of Alusil. This meaning that the cylinders were in perfect shape, not needing any reworking, saving us probably $3000. For reference, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikasil

No, I don't have anytime with work, school, and working in the garage I wanted to go to H20 this year, but that looks like it is not going to work out either...

yeah probably won't be baller status till next year since all money besides car payments and insurance is going to school right now. I kind of put myself in a bind with having two cars at the same time. Plan was to sell the GTI for the R32 but that definitely didn't work out.

The stage 2 kit was almost $6000. Hardware and getting the parts reconditioned was another $6000. We still have to purchase a stage 2 clutch and flywheel & also fix the 2nd gear synchro in the tranny. So hopefully we'll get this whole thing done in about $13,000.

for the R32? nah, probably some pss10's

I kept the GTI stock except for a catback exhaust. The R32 just has a drop-in K&N panel filter right now. I'm working with Corsa exhaust up here and trying to get into their R&D department and maybe get a free exhaust out of the deal. If not, I'll probably go coilover suspension as my next mod.

Those are the heat exchangers. Air passes through them, is warmed by the headers, and is sent into the cabin.

Actually by the way everything is all spread out, you would think that it was a mess. This engine, for being 28 years old, came apart like a dream. The head studs even backed out no problem which was very suprising to us. The big thing is have A LOT of plastic bags so you can label exactly what came from what. That's the really big thing. Thanks for the comments everyone. Once again, I will keep this thing up to date for you all.

thanks, nice avatar! do you have a GTI?

yes, 3.2 flat 6
