haha! there are three jacks under there and only the front of the car is lifted. it's all good.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Fixed the rear motor mount, one of the bolts was broken off in the subframe. I also degreased and painted the engine bay. Im waiting for the clutch to show up from UPS. Then Ill get the motor/trans in. I also windo-welded all my mounts.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Holy crap it looks really good!!!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Thanks, I think so too.

Im still waiting for my clutch via UPS. dsmparts.com sucks

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

What did you go with for a clutch?

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Did you do the bearings along with the build?

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

The ACT 2600 kit from dsmparts.com and they are taking forever to ship it.

I did replace the front wheel bearings, along with lower ball joints and control arm bushings.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Nice, i'm doing that same front end work right now!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Nice! I heard those are a pain in the ass to replace! How long did it take you? But great build man hope to see you on the road this summer!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Nice, if I knew the control arm bushings were bad at the time I ordered the ball joints online, I would have ordered complete control arms. It would have been more cost effective than buying the bushing kit and ball joints separately.

Thanks, most people say its a pain in the ass because they dont even know how to do it at all. It didnt take me long at all on a hydraulic press, pretty easy actually. I hoping on getting it running this week, once my clutch shows up.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

I ended up ordering the new corner markers, I know now I should have ordered the clear corners. Anyways they really make the headlights look pretty bad. I think ill try one of the headlight restoration kits and see if it helps clear them up.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Haha cool I'll probably do mine too once I get my clutch situation fixed! Lol

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Im still waiting for the clutch from dsmparts.com, im so pissed.

Anyways, I notice my oil cooler is dented in on the face. Im not taking any chances on it leaking so Im going to change it out before I install the motor.

If you have a spare one let me know!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

I replaced the dented oil cooler, installed the battery tray and replaced the battery terminals. Still waiting for the delivery of my ACT 2600 clutch kit and Innovate LC-1 Wideband.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

I ordered ECMlink v3 and sent my ECU out today to get socketed. My Wideband and clutch will arrive by Thursday.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Nice!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Clutch finally showed up. Now Ill put the car together, but I dont have a day off for 7 more days. Today ECMtuning received my ECU.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

FINALLY, been waiting FOREVER for this day to come. Im very happy to see everything going smooth now. All the hard work will pay off. Cant wait to see that v3, making that 4g63 run perfect! We're :score009: of the way done

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Bolted the trans on the motor and dropped them in the car. My ECU is being shipped back from ECMtuning, so I have a few days to get everything ready.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Ha, What do you mean? My buddy got me into DSMs and now we are addicted. We just picked him up a 91 gst today

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

I think he means have you been to any meets or do any of us know you? I know I would love to check this thing out! I still miss it, but just a little. ;)

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Haha Isnt every dsm enthusiast? Yep the gst is pretty fun, not when it started raining tho. Thanks schmitty! Looks like i'm gonna need to come get tires soon now AJ.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

You mean to tell me there is a new generation of people modding 1gs?! wow!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Yeah, you guys have the bug thats for sure!
I'd like to check out the rides, you guys should come out to some meets.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Yup, cant wait!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Got the motor/trans in, rolled it out of the garage to take some pics. I still have a lot of small stuff to complete now, shouldn't be much longer.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build

ECono powa babay!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

:woohoo1:

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

So when are you getting tuned? ;)

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

I'm hoping by the end of this month, I don't know how far ahead Shane is booked but I'll call him when I have the car together and the cash.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Nice build makes me want to find a clean 1g. Nice work man!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Thank you!

Update: Ive installed all piping from turbo to throttle body. Installed fuel rail, fuel filter and lines. Pulled the right rear strut to fix upper mount issue, and right now the fuel tank is draining out the old E85. I also bought cleaner headlights than the ones pictured above. I installed the Innovate wideband kit/gauge, and calibrated it. Installed the ecu and bought a laptop to keep in the car, did the first test connection with V3 tonight. I plan on starting the car for the first time tomorrow night.

I just need to buy gasoline and some gear oil.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Nice!! You got through this pretty quick!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

hey hey looking nice:banana:!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Started it yet?

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Thanks!

Yes, I got it started last night, runs really well. I drove it around the block a few times, which revealed a heavily leaking transfer case and a terrible scraping type noise from the driveshaft/transfer case area. I havent checked it out very well yet, besides making sure the heat shields were clear from the driveshaft. So I have a few things to fix before getting tuned so I can daily drive this thing.
