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
(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/pparoxysm/Img00010.jpg)
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.
(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/pparoxysm/IMG_2267.jpg)
The car I had built for my wife was finished off by an eager srt4 neon
(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/pparoxysm/IMG_2249.jpg)
I was the driver had my leg broken in 3 places, but I lived.
(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/pparoxysm/IMG_1129.jpg)
out came the motor
(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/pparoxysm/fitiing.jpg)
in came the new motor, a g60 lysholm
(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/pparoxysm/coolerhole.jpg)
but where to put the intercooler?
(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/pparoxysm/Dec2007-Apr2008110.jpg)
might aswell go wide
(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/pparoxysm/n628350769_1398620_7398.jpg)
mocking up stage. I replaced the bondo slante nose look with fiberglass fenders
(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/pparoxysm/sale253.jpg)
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.

Very cool project, I love the sound of an un-muffled lysholm, totally wicked. Keep up the good work!

A G-machine! I had a 90 Corrado. Loved it. One of my all time favorite cars in fact.

Was that one cut in the rear trunk wall the only cutting required?

yes that was the only cut for now, later it will be a 16 valve g60 and then who knows what will need cutting.

Thanks for the all positive feedback. Another plus to this swap is that I will be ditching the 901 for a b5 passat tranny with boxster shift linkage.

This is definitely awesome. I have a 1989 Syncro Golf 4 door, a 2001 1.8T GTi with a 3071R and my wife has an 01 Jetta.

We are a vag household.

Since this thread got a bump, what are you using for a transaxle and/or adapter?

Right now its the 901 with an adapter from kennedy, but I've been gathering the parts to swap in a tranny from a b5 1.8t fwd passat or audi a4. Then use the shift linkage from the 2.5 boxster.

drove the car today and I'm waiting for new bushing to take out some of this slop. Right now it's a side shifter with hybrid tail shifter linkage all new bushings but the one the rod runs through.

Its at my brothers shop, but will be coming to my garage thursday. I hope the neighbors will tolerate the noise, Ive already been warned about not cutting my grass enough this should be some nice revenge. My wife is back from Toronto so I now will have use of the video camera, hope to make a vid real soon.

made a couple of vids on youtube but the upload process put a time delay with the sound and action. No idea how to do links so just copy and paste.

the motor really does run smooth, and the videos work fine on my computer.
I guess I do know how to link. fixed sound by lowering the quality

fixed the videos by lowering the quality by quite a lot here's one more of it just backing up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjKRUgD1QxI

as you can see theres still a lot to be done before its really drivable. My brother was bottoming out on his dip in his driveway.
The wiring is being a pain since the previous owner hacked the wiring to make it work as a slant nose. Does anyone know if the front driving lights were run with white and brown wires? I have a 2 white wires 1 brown wire hack on the drivers side front trunk harness, and a single white, single brown on the passenger side harness, my guess is these were for the driving lights?
My driving lights were replaced with paint can tops held in with wood screws, that some how managed to have universal signals for a trailer lashed to the paint lids.

the car is now at home so I can finish up the wiring in my spare time. I've rebuilt the pedal cluster, then went through the linkage for the tranny and took out all the slop so now I can find all the gears. Now to wire fans, boost, air fuel, temp, driving lights, o2 sensor, and find out why I have no fuel gauge and no signals lights.(but my hazards work) also when putting in my new master cylinder, I didn't know to put the washers from the old one into the new one, so that has to be taken apart and redone/bled

my only problem is that I'm also trying to paint this before winter comes

That is one crazy cool project. LOVE IT!!! Just plan on tucking it away till spring and paint it then- and spend the remaining summer getting it going. I think I speak for all of us when I say we're waiting to see and hear that beast rev thru all 5 gears. Stop teasing us with these little putt putts up and down the driveway.
