VW coil pack, wow your picture threw me for a minute, but yes that is a VW 2.0L engine out of a golf or jetta, based on the pwoersteering fluid resivor, I would say 1999 - 2001 time frame.
As far as the plug wires, It is a standard on the one end and the other. Most V8 plug wires should work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) you can get them nice custom ones that you make up, or just go wit a generic set that gets you where your going. MSD stuff just for example, the price made me dizzy |

the vw coil is different than most as it has a pin in the center, see pic. and pic of vw coil mounted on my suby intake manifold.
i'm thinking about these audi wires from ebay: Set of 6 Pcs Spark Plug Ignition Wire Lead For 2.8L VW Passat Audi A4 A6 Quattro Attached thumbnail(s)

ok, as usual, i am confused. i just installed 36-2-2-2 crank wheel after making the belt at all 3 timing marks. i removed idlers and belt. removed old sprocket and installed new sprocket, lined up the belts 3 marks with the marks on the 2 pulleys and the new sprocket, but after all buttoned up, i noticed that when the cams are lined up and paint marker marks are lined up too, the sprocket mark lines up with my paint marker line, but i about 1 inch counter clockwise of its timing mark.
the odd thing is if i reinstall belt with cam pulleys and sprocket aligned with their timing marks, i expect my paint marker lines won't. i just checked an image of a new 36-2-2-2 sprocket and my old sprocket and they both have their timing mark 180 degrees from the keyway. guess i'll never know how my paint mark is off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

Might be a tad short, don't know, I forgot about the pin / never paid attention to it. I only had one car with that igniter, it was a 1999 very early production Jetta. Thing had more electrical issues than all the Lucas cars combined. It was possessed, so I gladly push it out of my memory banks ever chance I get. Everything else I own VW either uses Coil on plug, or does not use spark plugs at all.
I honestly prefer the latter, love my TDIs, and will be getting another one very soon. |

Chris H mentioned the same issue in his build thread I think it was Chris. Getting older (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) but I recall he ir someone resembling him in my mind had this issue when they did their timing belt. Reason it sticks out in my mind is that I figured I would have fallen for the same Subaru magic trick. Seems odd and that is how Subaru will do the trick, I could be completely off base here also, what the F do I really know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

reinstalled timing belt and think i got it pretty close this time.
also cut off the top of the alternator bracket so i can swing alt to drivers side, so i can install intake facing rear. tomorrow night i will do some tapping for clt and iat sensors. got to make a bracket for alternator adjustment. might use some threaded rod ends. Attached thumbnail(s)

Jim, is your engine a "0" clearance style? You might want to remove the plugs to spin the motor by hand. You want to be sure a valve doesn't embed itself in the top of a piston once started. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

QUOTE(jimkelly @ Apr 20 2017, 04:11 PM)  On a Nissan that means the belt is backwards. The mark is off 3 teeth or so on one side for some Japanese logic reason (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Also, a new belt will have the marks on it if you don't feel 100% with yours. |

i made the marks on my belt MYSELF and could have certainly installed back on flipped?
the earlier ej22 are NON interference and is one of the reasons i like them. http://www.scoobyenthusiast.com/subaru-faq...n-interference/ waiting on a U bend of 1.75" so i can merge my exhaust and put a bung in place for the o2 sensor. getting the belt right was a little tricky, had to make sure all lined up and all the slack in the belt was in the area of the tensioner. got to make an alternator adjuster like this. from this thread. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5365250 question, does threaded part between two tie rods have a right hand thread on one side and a left hand thread on the other?

alternator bracket version 1 done. may interfere with timing covers?
now i gotta find a 5 rib belt to turn it. was gonna install my intake manifold flipped but had one metal fuel line IN THE WAY. will need to cut the line and put some inches of rubber line. next up is to merge exhaust for 02 bung. down the road is shift linkage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOgNXNUn8zI Attached image(s)

Belts are measured in mm. Use a "cloth tape" to measure max and min for the alt adjustment as the belt will be in 5mm or 10mm increments. 5K### or ###K5

I doubt it will blow loose on those welds. No one can say that you didn't get it hot enough. You can fill that with water to test before installing. Keep 'em coming. You'll be there in no time.
