Just another B234FT Conversion..

What kind of camber plates are them?

[Johann]

Oooh man-o-man.

Runs nice.

[MadDog_945]

those arent camberplates but excessive moutingplates for the strutbrace ^^
but while we are talkin bout this, do you know which camberplates can be used without welding, together with standart koni yellows ( no coilovers) ?

[MadDog_945]

New pop off cause of aluwelder is missing... so i will first go open to not screw the turbo under any cirsumstances...

This is a Forge knockoff.. pretty good quality and only 50 bucks











yeah.. the first i do with popoffs is... disassemble them, especially if they are from china to look for scrap and loose parts in them ;) amazing what you find in there few pix...

New Chip for goldie.. mixture of 3 ign boxes b204ft, b234F, and 219.. when its done...


more brake fluid, less air ;)

Yeah.. i dont know what happened here.. it is the tensioner from the yoshifab kit which i rly did not tighten too much... and i noticed this just by the way cause i forgot to install a sealing ring to the front crank so i had to take the belt off again.. so.. imagine i put that ring in and went with it to the autobahn.. I dont want to blame yoshifab for it cause the just resell VAG stuff.. but maybe you should switch to better parts.. i replaced my tensioner with Made in Germany stuff.. looks much bett0r ;) oh.. and the belt doesnt run on the edge of the camgears anymore but 2mm off it which makes me sleep better ;)


the same one without flash.. btw its the excenterpart which broke off.. with the two holes for tightening it...



New seat

[Roy 940]

Wow, big job you've done! Did you drive it on the road jetzt?

[MadDog_945]

no.. i drove it out of the garage (under its own power ) and noticed the clutch isnt separating properly.. maybe some air in the system left.. also the front crank sealing is leaking (the beelt also became some oil on it.. nut funneh.... so it was too "hot" for me to testdrive it although it was pretty hard to withstand ;)

[Sander]

Looks great!! Very nice build!

[MadDog_945]

**** this **** im too fat for the seat 'grml'

:D

[HansW]

Congrats! The broken part would get me worrying, it's a bit my nature, and I would not be happy unless I have a valid explanation for the breakage, -- too risky to have parts like that breaking. Let us know what the cause was,
BTW, does your coolant reservoir have the low fluid level sensor? (those came with the 960/2 ) I installed it and it already saved me major trouble-- cheers, Hans

[MadDog_945]

Thx !


No, im not worried anymore.. its easily explained with super cheapy aluminum cast which is way too thin...

I compared the part to the one from genuine VW.. quality of the cast is much better and even thicker.. so.. this time it should work ;)

anyway my future plans are to go for hydraulic tensioner... i dont like these excenterthingys at all..


/edit

yes it has i just have to wireup an LED to it ;)

[MadDog_945]

so... pics !!

First... facts about EGT-Sensors pre/past turbo.. the blue sits in the collector the red 3-4" past the V-band i never had an idea that the difference is so "easy" to see ;) Also the values on the blue one are acting much much more dynamically to rpm and lamda changes than the red one.. so.. if you wnat to go EGT put it preturbo





And the new crankcasevent... i also used the little factory elbow with the nipple going to the intake.. some volvopro told me that this little nipple is essential to a working crankvent... the hose around the fan will go in the alutube preturbo in the future when i finally can weld aluminum.. so long it will be open, same to the popof which will be replaced with an Type RS closed... ...asaih a TIG-Welder ;) reason for me to want everything closed is... LH2.4 ;)

[Sander]

When will you be blasting around Hamburg with this thing?

[MadDog_945]

i hope in the next few days...

right now we're messing around with the ezk which will not work.. im testing with factory 219er, so wrong ignitionangles... sounds like diesel :D

also the 850er injectors arent working as i want... it leans out after resetting the adaption within the first 3 minutes and idles like crap on 1.21 then...

but i get the bucket delivered on a trailer this week so i dont have to drive 120km to work on it ;)

[MadDog_945]

Why? You wanted to visit me ? ;)

I will do a Northerngermany TuningWeekend during June/July,

Maybe you dutchguys will come to have some beers ? ;)

[sbabbs]

What's the part number for that German tensioner? I've got that black one from yoshifab also and I don't want to run it..

+1


I have two of the dang kits :/. Didn't know about the tensioners breaking, thought is was just the belt issue.


........... You've got some explaining to do Ricky!;p

[MadDog_945]

willcheck that up for you

[nathaninwa]

You got any miles on this badboy yet?

[MadDog_945]

yep.. about 1.5.... :/

we are still having troubles getting it on lambda1 with lambdafeedback enabled..

we now have a setup with feedback off on l1 in idle and 0.8 while driving.. so we can burn a chip and put the ostrich to the ezk for setting up a proper ign.. still running much too much advanced ign from 219 factory code on the 16v head..

also gets pretty hot on idle cause of the advanced ign..

[Harlard]

Kannst mir eine M90 schicken? Vielen Dank

Also es sieht voll Geil aus. Waren die Ventilen eigentlich beschaedigt, wann der Spanner gebrochen war?

[MadDog_945]

no... sometimes im a ****in lucker as hell ;)

i forgot several sealingrings and had to disassemble the belt a few times.. so i recognized it before hitting the roads...

sending a m90 wouldnt be a problem... do you want me to get one to you?

tell me a price youre willing to pay and check out how to ship... but i believe getting it to ya costs more than it does itself ;)

thx for your compliments

[Harlard]

Hahaha, yeahhhh, good thing you caught that. I forgot to recheck the tension on the timing belt the other day when resetting the timing gear, and almost had the belt slip out (somehow drove ~160km like that, gulp!).

My timeframe to purchase an M90 would be ~12-18 months. I think they usually go for 1000 Euro (DM 2400? Hahaha, looks like Deutschland might be leaving the Eurozone soon!) with shipping if I'm not mistaken. Granted I would want the flywheel, clutch lines, driveshaft, shifter and the other ancilliaries so I don't have to figure out an aftermarket solution for them

[MadDog_945]

hehe yeah.. sometime i feel like Obelix.. just that i didnt fell in a pot of magicdrink but pure luck :D

one time i had the crankpulley fell off cause somebody (not me this time ;) ) forgot to fasten it.. the belt was on the gear just a millimeter left cause i shut the motor instantly after having the christmastree on in the cluster :D

so.. purchasing an m90... you can have everything, except for the driveshaft from me... lever, clutch, flywheel and stuff.. so you (or me) just need to get a proper one via ebay or the german VF and i can send it to you... but thats the problem.. how to get a gearbox to teh US for cheap?!


1000€ ist viel zu teuer ;) you can get 2 M90 in absolutely mint condition for it prices are around 250-550 related on their condition.. the most of them are around 120k miles...


but you have to check shipping on your own cause i dont know how to ship things that big to the US?? maybe expense allowance`? right word? dont know and we can get that thing rolling... i always have a bit of compassing reading you US guys complaining abut M90s :D

[Harlard]

Hahaha, yeah we are stuck with the AW transmissions. They suck for anything other than drag racing. Out on the road you are out of the engine's power band 50% of the time when you mash it. When going off a stop it's a dog and on the highway it's also a dog as it downshifts to way too low a gear. I hate automatics.

The 1000 euro tag was including shipping. I will look into it. I know that the Brits put them on crates and a 3PL carrier takes care of the rest.

[MadDog_945]

oh.. ok... btw... 1000€ are around 2000DM ;)


Yeah.. autotrannies suck ! i drive one in my 960.. arrr.. lame.. and eats power.. but easy burnouts on wet tracks :D


crates... yeah.. so easy ;) maybe i should do a company.. shipping M90s to you
