Sasquatch Part III Audi 1.8t transplant..., PCV upgrades finally... Options

[Mike Bellis]

I have A.D.D. I admit it. I also can't leave well enough alone. I got really motivated by Andrew Dalen and seeing a 914 with Subie power driving to WCR12 from Idaho. What a beautiful car...
I stumbled on a steal of a deal for a 2001 Passat 1.8t, Audi ATW engine and 5 speed transaxle. Long story short and here you go. New engine cleaned and ready for fab time. The exhaust and turbo have been removed before power washing.

Here is the challenge. The transaxle. Either I fab an adapter, Fab an axle to take 1 Porsche CV and 1 Audi/VW CV or Replace with Boxster tranny, that will: Bolt right on, Shifter is cheap and available and requires less fab time. I'm leaning to the Boxster due to the 100mm Porsche CV flange. The Audi is 114mm.



This is whats left of the wiring after the car gets gutted. The ECU and gauge cluster have a symbiotic relationship. They work together and have to stay together to run. It looks like it will fit nicely into the stock location. I may have to adjust the column lower and build an trim ring around the cluster.

Here's a photo of an 012 trans with the flanges that are compatible with the Porsche CV's.

Could you please shrink that image a little more? It's way too big on my 14" CRT monitor... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm going down the road of trying to live with the 901 I've got, but a Boxster/Audi 5 speed swap is of great interest - otherwise I wouldn't give you any grief over this. (Probably.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

Part numbers for those compatible output flanges or adapters? I'll also accept a smack upside the head with a pointer to a build thread...
