I think you should go with 555cc at 4 bar. 2871R and a GTIR manifold would be nice, but how much power are you shooting for?

soryy will...lol
2 years later, gotta do what i gotta do

what type of coupler did you use on the oval side of the srt4 fmic? i have one sitting at my house and i was planning on using it for my boost project but i cant find a coupler to fit.. any tips or part numbers on what you used? thanks. the build looks great, im getting ready to setup my own motor soon (my first one)

Nice to hear your still keeping it going. I'm in the same boat as you. I just need a few more things and I'll be ready to bolt everything up to the car. Unfortunately most of the extra money I get will be going towards maintenance. The p10 is in need of some loving..

Leon, send me your paypal. I owe you $10.

no doubt, i hear ya. i did maintanance in november. 3 nights, in the dark, 40 degrees. trying to prep for a drive to VT and niagra falls. ball joints, tie rod ends, pass cv boot, drivr sd axle. all only to blow out the pass axle seal in the end. she has sat ever since. aw well, time to wake her up to a new heart. its like cryogenics

winter, get it? haha im corney

um, bought everything you see as is. i can check for whatever you want though.

92serturbo · 03-18-2008, 05:43 PM

if you could snag a few close up pics of how the coupler forms to the oval ic portion. i thought about just putting a round one on there and tightening it up but im not sure if that would seal enough..

93specv · 03-18-2008, 08:25 PM

gotcha

daveracer · 03-18-2008, 08:32 PM

Sent the paypal man. Good luck with the project.

yeah buddy....hey mike, funny you should post this pic. i was goona ask the forum a question, maybe you know the answer.

so between the DE head, DET block, and VVL hg....oh, and the arp head studs....would the torque specs for the head remain the same?

just learned i also need to compinsate torque for the the extension.

Mike · 03-20-2008, 01:06 PM

Good question. I know the specs will definitely be different because of the arp studs but I have heard conflicting info on it and I can't give you an answer. The head/block/Headgasket combo won't matter or make any difference in the torque sequence its all in the studs.

It has been covered here but I don't have a thread link for you.

Mike

93specv · 03-25-2008, 10:19 PM

i searched and searched and came up with conflicting info as well mike.
soooo, i have a call into arp, awaiting a return call.

on the plus side: today i ordered the JWT pressure plate and disck, nismo thermostat (149*), cooler plugs, and the t bracket for my oil lines/sending unit/guage.....

ready to rock! just need to work out the bugs now!

oh, and start paintin some stuff

now, if i could only figure out how to remove the old rear main seal to install the new one???
