What is it about wiring? The easiest part of a rebuild; physically speaking. Mentally; the most demanding part. I can see an entire build in my mind except the electrical. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) It's like entering a swamp. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

The biggest thing for me is that since I am simply using the Audi wiring harness I need to keep all the major components. I have about 30 plugs that I can not identify yet and I have yet to completely label the engine harness (However I have a full diagram that is labeled). I had a buddy that has stripped a couple of Audi's that knows most of the plugs in the car so I wanted him to come and help me ID the plugs I couldnt identify yet so I can determine if there are any more harnesses I could remove, or at least so I can place the harness in the correct place. Once that is all done I can work down the list of my TO DO's on my wiring.

NOTE: I updated post 422 to reflect my wiring to do's and my engine related to do's.

Would be nice for sure (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I doubt I have more than 5k miles on the car in total (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Happy Birthday to me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

I received my new fuel setup in the mail. Very excited about this.
Attached Image

Bosch 1000CC EV fuel injectors (Can run up to a 93% duty cycle reliably) This puts me right at 545HP max at E85 with 43.5psi.

Fuel pump is the outstanding Bosch O44 which is one of the strongest and linear in the industry and can change the fuel pressure if I find that being required.

Now here is the fun bit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
http://store.034motorsport.com/fully-enclo...-bosch-044.html

Fuel surge tank. This encloses the Bosch 044 fuel pump and allows for it to be submerged constantly(Less noise and cooler running). The surge tank is primed by a carb low pressure fuel pump and remains full constantly effectively preventing any possibility of fuel starvation in corners. This also has the added benefit of allowing me to use the stock style fuel lines since they will be under zero pressure and allow for 100% flow of the lines. I will put this surge tank in the engine bay and it will keep my expensive high pressure lines very short and allow for no line pressure loss due to length (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Its a win win win!

Presents from my wife.

Ironically my wife checked out my amazon wish list and grabbed a couple items.

1.Low pressure fuel pump
2. Roller and corner roller tools for building the interior
3. Shades (Because you have to look cool)
4. Candy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
5. Beer chiller

Finally had some friendly competition between my car and her car with her driving on Forza! Very proud that she actually beat me when I was using a stock 914!

turn up the pressure and turn down the duty cycle. I'm running at 4 bar (58.8 psi). 034 recommended my 330cc injectors at that pressure for my hp goal.

Really 330CC's? Im really surprised that your able to push those injectors that much... I had 440's that I maxed out and IIRC I was running a 4bar FPR, mind you I was making similar power that you are now. You sure your only on 330's?


And yes I don't plan on running my duty cycle that high, I'm just showing where the injectors currently are at the standard pressure. I am probably going to tune for 4bar FPR. Whatever my tuner thinks is the best for my needs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

With being a recent vw/audi owner (GTI), I am excited to watch this build.

Andrew are you pulling the motor out of the A4?

A4 has been sold as a driver. My daily being my Fiesta ST has given me no need for the quattro...

Motor I have is out of the junkyard. Im going to open it up to see if I want to built it. But I am keeping an eye out for a good usable motor. Maybe one with VVT so I can get some more low end.


End goal is to build a motor with cams, ported, oversized titanium valves and springs, rods/ stroker/pistons. Build it to rev to 8500 and put a larger hot side if I feel it needs to breath better up top. That would give me well over 4k rpms of usable power.

Last years calendar right? I specifically didnt enter this year as I was already in it last year and wanted to give more people an opportunity to pop in..

Besides I voted for the hillside shot of the "multiple" cars, my Fiesta ST is actually hiding in the back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Gotta get back on the horse!

Engine shelf removed/trimmed.

Test mounted the engine/trans then test set it in the engine bay. Looks like to make the axles level the pass side needs to be 1/2" higher than the drivers side when its on the movers dolly. Simple enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Im still positioning the setup left,right, up, down, tilt, back. In my head the setup needs to come back an inch and up 2-3, or tilted forward about 5-10 deg to get the trans tucked up a bit more and the axles more level with the suspension. I'd like to get the axles almost level when the car is in its resting position.

Hard to see in this photo, but the trans is about 1" forward of the axles when the engine is touching the firewall.


And finally, started reinforcing the rear shock tower for my brace. I am going to remove the firewall where the blue tape is (did get a full pic of it) and rebuild/box it about 6" back where the shocks are. I'm going to have a local metal shop bend up some steel similar to the 914 humps for strength and weld it in to the 1" bar brace I weld in between the towers. I am going for a near factory look when done.

Are you going to add more support in the front corners of the engine bay? I ask because we were looking at my build car (cut out engine tray) and the parts car (tray intact) thinking that's a fair amount of triangulation/support. Just looking to what others are doing in that arena.

Its a fair amount of triangulation to the firewall which is essentially non structural.

That being said yes there is some additional reinforcements to come in the rear suspension console. Specifically the typical firewall to rear suspension ear. I am debating how exactly I am going to do my engine bar at this point, so I want to make sure everything is as strong as possible.

I think you will end up cutting out the battery tray. There is very little room once you get everything bolted on. My turbo is smaller than yours... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

My manifold is more compact (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Ill test mount it after I cut the firewall and see.
