project stuka Options

[paroxysm]

just thought I'd better start a thread for a project that I've been working on for about 9 years.
had a car in 99 i had done up fine

but one day the passenger door would not open,and said hey how about an engine swap, bought a 2.2 six and then realized 125hp was not enough, so a v8 became my goal. Destiny had other plans.

The car I had built for my wife was finished off by an eager srt4 neon

I was the driver had my leg broken in 3 places, but I lived.

mocking up stage. I replaced the bondo slante nose look with fiberglass fenders

now that 90% of the bodywork was done it was time to get the car to actually run, and just this last weekend I did get it running. The reason for calling it a stuka is the lysholm charger sounds like an air raid siren. I will post up a vid of it running when i get a chance.

Just wanted to update where I stand on this project.
One of my best friends who was building an all wheel drive syncro scirocco has finally given up on his car. He has MS really badly and can't drive standard anymore. He really wanted to see his motor run even if it was in a different car so I purchased it off of him.

I was fighting my motor in the 914 and was thinking my ecu was bad, so instead of finishing my motor I've now installed his.

The deal was i paid him $1200 and had to carefully take out his motor, and I would get everything to make it run.

Heres a horrible shot of both motors.

The new motor is an AWW 1.8t with a gt28rs big turbo and all the programing.

All the junk I don't need.

Me working out the piping placement.

Piping done.

Stupid old ecu was causing me to have injector grounding issues.

The six or so wires that make this puppy run.

The test firing stage, and it runs! All done in about 2 months.

So now I have a ton of clean up to do, just had it run last weekend. I will fill it with coolant and redo my hydraulic clutch line, build an exhaust then do a test run.
I also have a electronic boost controller for it that I might pipe in. I will also need to tune it, right now its set for 15psi. The motor only has 5000km on it and the turbo was brand new never ran.
The first person to hear it run was my friend whom I'd purchased it off of, he was filled with mixed emotions, but was happy to finally see it run.
The old motor I will keep and probably put into a mk2 golf/jetta or corrado again.
