BOOSTED88tsi Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 so bought a starion block, mated it with a starion trans i had and there in the truck now. I need to install my fuel pump, figure out my hydraulic clutch set up, get the fuel feed line to the mani, exhaust, install some gauges, i/c pipes, and make and exhaust....Giving myself 3 weeks to get it running, while working 40+ hours a week.

Scotty Dont Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) I still have to wire the rest of the harness then make the exhaust and cut the hole for the shifter I think Jason has a few things to do. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/trippleCing/0908090156.jpg Edited September 8, 2009 by Scotty Dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOSTED88tsi Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 buncha little stuff screwed us over. Fuel leaks which are fixed now, not running the right ballast resistor for my coil which is what is sending 12v to my megasquirt so that wasn't getting good power. Also my water pump was bad so we changed that. And the downpipe that scott made hid my log manifold so he had to redo that. Getting the ballast resitor tomorrow, and were getting it running on friday which is the next day i have off. Then comes the fun part. Once it runs i still have to figure out how to convert it to hydraulic clutch and it will be moveable.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Dont Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Welp after a lot of "hiccups" we finally drove the truck for the first time last night. Here are some pics. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/trippleCing/Drift%20Truck/P9300162.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/trippleCing/Drift%20Truck/P9300163.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/trippleCing/Drift%20Truck/P9300165.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/trippleCing/Drift%20Truck/P9300170.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/trippleCing/Drift%20Truck/P9300171.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFBMX88 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Very nice! Tell me you guys welded a 1/8" npt bung on for the coolant temp sender! What did you guys do about the fuel pump block off on the head? Also, where did you mount the coolant temp SENSOR? Is it still mounted to the rear coolant outlet to the heater? If it is, you wont get accurate temp readings to the ecu unless the heater core is fully flowing. When the core is closed off, the coolant is stagnant and the ecu will read colder than the engine really is. That sticker takes me back to my Fatty though.... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y176/sfbmx88vol2/ultraspeed/DSC04497.jpghttp://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y176/sfbmx88vol2/ultraspeed/MVC-050S.jpghttp://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y176/sfbmx88vol2/ultraspeed/MVC-069S.jpg Edited October 6, 2009 by SFBMX88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFBMX88 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 In case you didnt look inside that thermostat housing, heres what it looks like: Its an n/a 2.6 housing and a turbo 2.6 housing mated together. I put a little step in it so the thermostat will fit flush. It will accept the factory thermostat and gasket. I never had any leaks with it as long as it was on the car. I left that temp switch in there as a plug, though I think the autometer sender will fit, but you will have to make a ground path for it. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y176/sfbmx88vol2/ultraspeed/DSC01240.jpghttp://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y176/sfbmx88vol2/ultraspeed/DSC01241.jpghttp://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y176/sfbmx88vol2/ultraspeed/DSC01242.jpghttp://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y176/sfbmx88vol2/ultraspeed/DSC01243.jpghttp://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y176/sfbmx88vol2/ultraspeed/DSC01245.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Dont Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hey Andrew thanks for the tip on the temp sender I will have the truck the whole next and will move it then. For the 1/8npt fitting I ended up retaping it and plugging it, tho I might tap it again to 3/8npt and put the temp sender there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOSTED88tsi Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 what radiator did you have in your car andrew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFBMX88 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 No problem! I was thinking you could probably make some sort of tee-fitting from the rear coolant outlet to go to both the heater and back to the thermostat housing so there will be constant flow. If you look at the stock tbi manifold, coolant is allowed to flow all the time from that rear passage weather or not the heater is open. I got the radiator from TEP(I think Spearco made them though) shortly after they first came out back in 2004? I wouldnt get one again because of fitment issues and they way it was built. But it still works and doesnt give me problems, so Ill keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFBMX88 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 How did you guys mount the dipstick? If you want it, I have a shortened dipstick and tube that I used. I just have to dig it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOSTED88tsi Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 its just ziptied for now, like 50% of the stuff on the truck. If you could find the old one that would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
