My favourite posting here: 10-10-10. We've stepped forward in the conversion from 1.6l to 1.9l.
Yesterday we've reassembled the turbocharger, cooling system and some hoses.
As you can see, the engine conversion is nearly finished. We need to reconnect all electric stuff, filters and exhaust system. Some other sources are reporting that an oil cooler is also needed. First power on is supposed to be in one week, the revenue voyage is also supposed in one week. You will see a slide show at the end (if iMovie behaves well).
Here we have some images from yesterday:
Engine conversion: time to improve. The bus' tube was too unhandy and too short. Solution: Make it fit by dividing and refitting the pieces.
Close up. The right tube is from the Golf, the left from the bus.
Parts to connect.
The engine.
Meow!
Cooler container installed.
Bus oil pen + gear box
The turbocharger installed from the bus.
Oil pump from the bus.
One last modification (for that day).
Golf III dipstick tube end fitted on a bus T3 dipstick tube.
That's it for today.
