Is the AEE an interference engine in case of cambelt snappage?

Engine looks sweet - kudos on the fast turn-around!!

Not sure actually!

I've replaced the cambelt just now anyway so hopefully that won't be happening any time soon, haha.

Got your PM by the way buddy, I'm gonna compare it to my gearbox in the morning and look at the mounts etc to see if it'll fit your car. It is a vag box.

Top man, cheers!

woooah dude you dont hang about do you!! thats sweet, what car was this lifted from? mint been as it has such low miles

Was lifted from a skoda felicia that had been rear-ended! I'm keeping the skoda engine cover, think It will be a nice touch hahah

Got this little lot today + a wiring loom! Spent the evening sorting out the loom an stuff so i Know what goes where. I now have all the bits I need... gonna take the manifolds into the machine shop on thurs and start cut and shutting them... not looking forward to it if I'm honest

Blimey son, not much to do in Derby then

Cracking bit of work matey, pretty sure you'll be able to sort the manifold, after all you're probably at the best place to get advice

Haha, It's a little project between lots of drinking and other things....

Yeah am gonna have to get one of my lecturers to tig weld it for me I think, my welding skills suck at the mo!

asif you rebuilt a engine in your student halls

legend

Yeah man I had no choice... haha. Gonna do the engine swap in the car park aswell, that'll be entertaining

Thats quality haha!!

Thats what halls are meant to used for tbh

I absolutely love this thread! Brilliant!

Have you got an ISV? Couldn't see one in the pic...?

Shotblasted the Inlet manifold this mornin when i had some free time:

That's a point actually, my SPI doesn't have one. I've got somethin which I'm not quite sure what it is... have you got a pic of the ISV?

Wait, this is it right? Sorry I'm not that clued up on GT bits

That's the badger! Nuke it with some carb cleaner before fitting.

Ah cheers mate, will do. Prob blast it aswell for good measure haha.

Yeah i know rob! glad i took it ay

So, went to the scrappy to get the manifold and ended up getting the wrong bloody one!! Really annoyed :(

If anyone wants the inlet manifold for a 1.4 golf mk3, pretty sure it must be an ABD even though it was badged as a 1.6 give me a message. It's been sandblasted an looks brand new!

If anyone does have an ABU inlet manifold laying around also give me a message.

how long till this goes in kidda? been watching this as I'm intrested in doing this to mine as you know, which one of mine I'm not sure though

I was aiming to do it mid feb, me getting the wrong manifold has ruined my plans a bit though. I'm gonna have to wait till the weekend to get the right manifold, and then will machine & weld it next week. It'll definitely be in before ultimate dubs, thats my absolute last deadline haha. So if you're there and would like to come have a look let me know :)

looks sweet dude! good work.
