What was up with the b16's?

I brought them second hand and they just needed a refurb really.

Wots the spec of the engine

Too much to list really, but fully forged, head ported with oversized valves, runner flaps deleted, oil pump mod.. the list goes on!

Damn that engine looks good!! Have you mentioned what turbo your gonna run? ...

Brought a GTX3071r off a mate, although i'm already thinking about something bigger lol

Thought it's about time I posted in here as I haven't put any updates on in a while.

Since the last update I've been slowly bolting the various bits back onto the engine. As I'm not running AC, I decided to cut down the bottom half of the alternator bracket where the AC pump normally sits:



Every little helps in the quest for weight saving!

Back from powder coating along with a few other bits:



And picked up a shorter aux belt along with a few other bits:



Ordered a set of new style RS3 injectors from VAG Fuelling Solutions and was very impressed with the kit. Well packaged and came with everything needed to get them working including a new injector loom. Been told they could be good for 500hp so will be interesting to see how well they flow.



Injectors in waiting for the inlet manifold to go back on:



Next it was time to get the turbo manifold ordered. After seeing Hurdy's Nortech kit perform well plus a few others, I'd already made my mind up what kit I wanted. All this (minus the turbo) was ordered via AKS:



Ever since they came out a couple of years ago, I've always fancied a set of Fifteen52 TurboMac's. An almost brand new set came up for sale so I brought them as a bit on an impulse purchase. Test fitted them on the car and loved them, they clear the brakes and strut nicely. Only issue if that they stick out the arches a bit so I'm unsure what I'm going to do with them.



Then last week another set of wheels came up for sale; a set of 18x8 TD's with some NS2R's already on. They came off a MK5 GTI so I know already that they will fit, but my only concern was whether they will clear the 8 pots or not without spacers. I picked them up anyway but still need to get a chance to test fit them and see.



That brings things pretty much up to date. Still waiting on the coilovers to come back from Bilstien HQ, after they've already been sent back once due to the adjusters not being fixed correctly. Once they are back the S3 rear end, fuel tank and prop can all be mounted and the standard engine can then be removed. Hopefully the Nortech kit shouldn't be much longer too, a few hold ups as apparently they have been relocating premises over the last couple of weeks.

As I mentioned in my first post, feel free to follow my Instagram @joms6r as I keep that updated more than this.

So.. Should see some good progress on the car next week. Picked the B16's up from AKS yesterday after being sent back twice! All new seals, oils and the adjusters have been freed up. I've got next week off work so hope to get the S3 rear end in and possibly start taking the standard engine out. After many delays the Nortech kit should also be delivered to AKS next week too!   :jump move:

Moved the car into the garage today a few miles away which was a bit sketchy to say the least!  :rolleye:

Lovely build. In my eyes this is how I would do it if I had the cash. Just out of curiosity, I can see you have painted your alternator, did you tape cover/tape areas up before painting or have you just sprayed the whole thing?

U say the turbomacs stick out a bit? Would it be worth rolling the arches a bit u think? Having a similar problem...bumpy roads becoming a nightmare!!!
