starquestJOE Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 The tranny has made its way home? Finally was feeling good this past Monday so I made it a point to get the drive train back in the car and out of the garage. It took longer then id hoped but its done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starquestJOE Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) I finally got my hot side back from ronnie and all if perfect condition. A+ on the packaging. Now tomorrow I will put everything on the car and see what else needs to be modded to work. Intercooler pipes I know needs to be moved. The 4" intake make need to be cut shorter. I mocked it all up on the dinning room table and its a tight fit but it fits. More progress and pic tomorrow nighthttp://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww135/starquestJOE/SQ-HX40-SQJ_5_zpsrshd6etn.jpg Edited March 24, 2015 by starquestJOE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

importwarrior Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 WoW that looks good but Tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starquestJOE Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 It is, but i hope i dont have a problem with heat transfer into the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieJ Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) You actually have more room and better air flow that I did on my last car. I had a manifold, 2 gates, 3" downpipe, dump tubes, and a turbo just as close but everything was back against the firewall. I daily drove it like for 4 years with AC. If you are worries about heat look into coating. Another option is the gold reflective heat tape. Do up the firewall in that and coat the hot parts.

starquestJOE Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Thanks ronnie for the info. I know first hand how tight 1.8t are in a mk2, mk3, mk4. Im no longer goin to run a full exhuast. Im goin to make a short turn down off the down pipe. Should help with heat gettin it out fast and short. Im goin to work on the intercooler pipe this weekend. And I will start adjusting my VE table for the larger injectors. Im goin from 650 fic to FiveO 1400cc injectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
