Another 2g project
 

This is my 3rd 2g but first 4g63 powered car, I've had a fairly stock 2gnt and a pretty built 2gnt. Well this winter I picked up a 95' tsi awd rolling shell off here and have been working on cleaning it up and modifying it.

Well here she is when I picked it up.

Got home and started stripping it and cleaning the engine bay.

The engine bay was in kinda tough shape and the drivers side strut tower was rusting under the abs lines so I completely stripped the engine bay and primed and painted it.

Re: Another 2g project
 

that's lookin' real good man. lots of work done to it :) damn...just love looking at the 4g63 engine on the engine stand.

Re: Another 2g project
 

Looks great, that's pretty much the same setup I would love to do on my 1g. Let me know how that ERL stainless cast manifold treats you, I have been thinking of getting one myself.

Re: Another 2g project
 

wtf are delta k272's, kelford rip-offs? Such a nice build and then skimp on the cams...that's my only complaint :) Cheap cams always seem to come back to bite you in the ass one way or another.

Looks damn good, I love the extra time/effort you took to really clean up the car. Can't wait to see it in person!

Re: Another 2g project
 

The delta cams are the same thing as the FFWD regrind cams, they make power and are cheap.

Car looks good! Can't wait to see it all together and making some power.

Re: Another 2g project
 

Thanks! Still isn't the best looking car on the outside but with time i'll get around to that too. The k272's are the same grind as the kelford 272's cut from fresh cores, not regrinds.

Re: Another 2g project
 

Billet HX40?!?!?!


Looks good man!!

Re: Another 2g project
 

Yep billet HX40, heres a crappy iphone pic of it: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...8/2a0c6abd.jpg

Re: Another 2g project
 

that thing is tits. I need to see this beast when you make the move to St. Cloud.

Re: Another 2g project
 

Awesome work dude! Love the time and effort to make it clean and rust free!

Re: Another 2g project
 

Looks real good.

Re: Another 2g project
 

Very clean! Great work.

Re: Another 2g project
 

As of today:
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...8/79eb16de.jpg

Fuel pump rewire and inline pump.

The faulty in tank fuel pump that Ive been waiting to get replaced.
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...8/57737d91.jpg

All that's left till I can get the car tuned:
fill coolant, transmission, and t-case
modify down pipe for 3" v-band off turbo
fab dump tube for the wastegate
vac lines
fill with e85 :)

Re: Another 2g project
 

Well I haven't updated this in a while, the car is up and running now after its fair share of first start up issues I have all the leaks and every thing sorted out. The only problem i'm having now is I'm getting alot of hesitation/misfires while cruising at part throttle. I've tried new plugs, new wires, swapped coils, swapped transistors. Im going to add some ground wires from the block back to the battery and from the sensor grounds to the battery if that doesn't take care of it the next thing is the CAS.

Re: Another 2g project
 

Sounds like my car on the 1600s. I switched to 1350's and the hesitation went away.

Re: Another 2g project
 

I am running bosch 1600's but I don't know how this could be the typical injector stumble because it is really bad.

Re: Another 2g project
 

I did a full tuck, shortened, and de-pinned the engine/ecu harness. I removed all the diagnostic connectors, a/c connectors, emission solenoid connectors, cruise control, and hard wired in the 1g CAS connector because the car is 6 bolt swapped. I've got a lot of hours of work into the harness with all the shortening and soldering of every connection.

Harness out of the car and ready to be torn apart.

Re: Another 2g project
 

Clean work, looks good! I just swapped a stock wiring harness in place of my much hacked up one, I can attest to the amount of work of cleaning all of that up.

Re: Another 2g project
 

Jungy is the master of cleanliness! He does awesome work! Keep it up! and get that stuttering issue figured out or whatever it is!

Re: Another 2g project
 

Looking at buying a set of Bluemax 1850's and an Easytune to take care of the bad stumble the car has. The car does not like to run on the 1600's at all.

This is old news but 2-3 weeks ago the car acted like the clutch was slipping and I had the car on stands replacing the t-case seal and the drive shaft would spin like butter and the rear wheels wouldnt move at all. Ended up finding the pass side rear axle popped out. I snapped her back in drained the diff, replaced my t-case seal, and put fresh fluid in the t-case and diff. No more leaks and no more free spinning like the clutch is slipping!

The dirty car ready for winter with the nasty looking 1g wheels on it, Still need to remove the lip.

Re: Another 2g project
 

Very nice Jungy!

Re: Another 2g project
 

Traded the 2gb eclipse front, headlights, fogs, and rmdsm lip for a 2gb talon front and headlights and some tinted talon tails. As a cheap project to kill some free time I split the talon lights and removed the amber lenses painted the housings black. I still want to tint my clear corners in the bumper and re-tint the tails because they are faded and dull.

Re: Another 2g project
 

This whole project is amazing man

Re: Another 2g project
 

Looking good man, I still have to see this thing! I'll be logging my car for a bit tomorrow (Monday) evening, give me a call.

Re: Another 2g project
 

The cars been parked for the winter kinda needed some time away from it. I bought some FIC bluemax hi-z 1680's for the car fingers crossed I can get everything working right with some high quality injectors.

Re: Another 2g project
 

Just got done installing these; hi-z 1680's and the modified resistor pack connector that I soldered all the wires together. I haven't started it yet because I can't find my zeitronix wb connector that I have to solder back to the ecu connectors, without it my ecu gets no o2 feedback at all because I'm only running my zt-2 fed into the ecu with narrow band simulation and eliminated the front and rear o2 sensors.

Re: Another 2g project
 

Nice! bout time them thing showed up! haha

Re: Another 2g project
 

Yay! I want these injectors too I think. Please let me know how you like them!

Re: Another 2g project
 

Loving the injectors, got the idle dialed in and its holding the idle steady at 1000 with out any problems even with the kelford grind 272's. They are much more easy to tune than the bosch 1600's that I ran on the car initially. But of course with good news comes bad and my dieing alternator finally called it quits so I'm ditching these crappy mitsu alternators and doing the saturn alternator swap.

Finally finished trimming the front bumper for the front mount, dont mind the shitty quality cell phone pic. It doesn't look centered but it is its just the angle the pic was taken at. Many hrs of trimming but it fits in the cut out so tight and perfect. White bumper on a black car. :)

Re: Another 2g project
 

Very nice work man, holy crap from NT to a damn HX40!

Good luck.

Re: Another 2g project
 

Haha yeah I did have a really built 2gnt running megasquirt with a 20g on e85 before this. But I parted that car out when I bought this shell.

Re: Another 2g project
 

looks like it's comming right along, Jungy.

I'll be back that way next weekend probably, I'll be sure to stop by.

Re: Another 2g project
 

Car looked good last night man, hopefully that alternator comes in today!

Re: Another 2g project
 

Been doing some tuning and wrapping up the small things post build to sell the car. I got around to painting the front so it finally matches!

Re: Another 2g project
 

You get that manifold bolt situation fingered out? Man, I sure hope the guy who's buying this thing takes care of it. This is a pretty awesome build.

Re: Another 2g project
 

Hey, a decent build finally. I haven't paid any attention to this car until now. I like your choice of parts.

Re: Another 2g project
 

Thank you! I got the manifold taken care of today I was going to thread the bolts together with mechanics wire but no place in town has m10-1.50 x 25mm drilled bolts so I just replaced them and made sure to re-torque them when they were hot after driving the car. Finally cranked up the boost to 22 psi today and she pulls hard, probably going to do some more tuning tonight and turn up the boost some more!

Re: Another 2g project
 

Why are you going to sell this beauty?

Re: Another 2g project
 

I got offered a decent amount for the car and I would like to get a motorcycle.
