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

thanks

That's where we are now guys. I have some pictures of the stuff we just got back (pistons, cylinders, heads, rods). We got the case, cam housings & covers, valve covers, and some other little stuff dipped and cleaned up. I just have to find the cord for the camera to link it up to my computer. Also I'm gonna try and get a mod list of all the stuff we do have so you guys have something to reference. We did start on getting the rods back on the crank but we ended up not having the right rod bearings so it jammed us up a little bit. I'll try to keep this as up to date as possible. Thanks : )

UPDATE: Split the case. Packaged up rods, cylinders, and pistons. Pretty much done, except for replacing head studs and cleaning everything up a bit, for about 3 weeks until we get everything back...then the fun begins. Here some pictures of the internal disassembly... http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/TURBO%20BUILD/DSC01308.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/TURBO%20BUILD/DSC01307.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/TURBO%20BUILD/DSC01309.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/TURBO%20BUILD/DSC01310.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/TURBO%20BUILD/DSC01311.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/TURBO%20BUILD/DSC01314.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/TURBO%20BUILD/DSC01319.jpg

The Basics: 1985 Porsche 911 Targa 3.2 Flat 6 ~215 HP before project After turbo install we should be around 400 crank HP on a conservative tune.

Everything came apart smoothly. http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/TURBO%20BUILD/DSC01293.jpg Cam towers removed. http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/TURBO%20BUILD/DSC01294.jpg Case after towers are removed. http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/rickychipka/TURBO%20BUILD/DSC01303.jpg Pistons, cylinders and heads removed. We ran out of time on Sunday and this is where we're at right now. Next is to to pull the head studs and split the case. The plan is to send the cylinders, heads, pistons, and rods to get checked out so we won't have any big problems after we get it all back in. Head studs and valves & springs are being replaced as well. In summary, this breakdown has gone pretty flawlessly. Save for one bolt we had to burn off the testpipe, everything came apart nicely. I'll try and take pictures of the rest of the breakdown and also when we start to put it all back together which I hope shouldn't be too long. Cheers! :wavey:

nothing really sam just trying to get my rep up so i can search the forums! haha

yep no problem, I have pictures of all the reworked parts we sent out and got back last week (heads, cylinders, pistons) and also all the new hardware as well. will get those up as soon as I can get into the other forums. love the e36 by the way, I had a 96 328is for my first car, worked 2 summers and got a great deal on it. Served me great mechanically and it did well pullin in the tail as well This picture was before I had the euro clear corners and just had shit ones. http://i38.tinypic.com/15yj4uq.jpg

ramsey do you work for wheel medic? I sent a wheel off my GTI that I curbed up a little by accident to them and they did a great job. It looks like a brand new wheel!

im on the west side. olmsted falls.

thanks for the warm welcome. i'll update the build thread for you guys as soon as I get the pics up and I can get in the forums!

sorry for being a retard, but do I have to get some rep to actually get into the other forums? edit: nevermind I figured it out. Damn, maybe Cleveland Racing should do something like this rep thing. keep all the :asshole:'s out.
