ya... but i dont know if my malaysian road officers will agree with the 'modern vw engine mod'....
gosh!!! i wish malaysian rules were like in OZ....
what options of gbox for the ej20T? will a bus box hold? too many bus box and im confused... 002,091got one more but i forgot... which one is which? which is the best for a blown EJ?
bulletbug, see my gearbox when its finished, its based on an 091, the other option is porsche 915 / G50... alternatively, use a bug box, treat it nicely or get an exceptionally well built bug box & be sympathetic to it, my option is for flogging to death & it should be more than adequate 😀
3days joel, get it done so i can go for a ride, pretty please? & dont even think about mentioning the almost dead 1300 idea🙅

Hi Joel
Is that STI red on the manifold? Is that the starter from Stockers?
A benefit that I've never mentioned when I had my WBX powered 1302, heated windscreen washer fluid, yep run your washer fluid hose around the radiator hose and you will have heated washer fluid, gets rid of bugs etc much better than cold water, I know this because sometimes I wash up at home😂, cant move any gunk of the washing up if you use cold water.
Steve
I got told the stokers sale was a bit of a joke - stupid prices etc. sadly, i personally cannot go.
Well if there prices were a joke i would hate to buy something off them when they werent having a sale cause they claimed everything would be 50% off.

thats outta my jurisdiction i dont speak gearbox to well
bus boxes have bad ratios for a bug but that can be changed
dangerous on here is the man to talk to

boring..... trust me its way more fun counting how many death rattles a vw engine can make
Steve, nah its TORO touch up paint
😂
yeah thats the startermotor,
ive been getting parts from alan for over 10 years, ive always found his prices good, and he looks after his good customers
that starter for example is brand new german and was $287 and while i was there i grabbed a pair of wheel cylinders for dads and genuine german ATE they were $3 cheaper than another vw shop i tried

car forums. where a lot of peoples good intentions end up taking a good old car off the road forever never ever to see the road again. 🥲
i knew someone had to say it 😂
Joel is you going to put a timing belt kit on it ??
it all looks a bit old .
I think the dearest part is the tensioner.
we get parts cheap.

i am yeah while its off its easy to and ive also got a new genuine water pump coming aswell
ill keep that belt as a spare cos its actually not that old and still looks pretty new, thats just a shitty pic
was only replaced a couple of years ago and done 46,000kms
Hey Joel have you been to the Lee noonan (68autobug) school of painting 😂😂
Preety sure i dislike timimng belts, my girlfriends mum drives a camry and its timing belt is loose. It has been rubbing the inside of its cover for ages. I apparenly am the man for the job cause i work on my dub. So far ive got half the cover off and now ive gotta take the wheel and heaps of other shit off jus to get at the second cover, and i dont even know if it needs a new belt or tensioner. Worst bit is she needs it nearly everyday. So your lucky you can take yours out to do it. They dont make removeable fornt ends for camrys. 🙂
not yet i seemed to have misplaced my yellow and flourescent green
you need to buy a can of kromebrite (liquid chrome enamel) for the case and the heads that the engine reconditioner does where we are. it looks pretty
O by the way how are your nuts?????😂

thats my thread, 091 is from mid 70s 2L kombi's, aka a 2L box, has 6 ribs on it, instead of 3-5 on the other kombi boxes, plenty of info on each of them on thesamba, keep in mind they arent that cheap either, expect to pay $300-500AUD for the basic box from what ive seen in the last year or so, then add the parts to make it fit with the beetle nose cone, new gears for stronger & better ratios), diff - im told by a friend in the UK that the syncro diff is up to the task if you can source one, seems they are a cheap solution in that part of the world.
Crap i gotta go to work, ill explain more later

if a project is planned... whats the most important thing...? is my priority right in oder?
1. bodywork
2. braking(4 pot front, 2 pot rear) do i really need a 4 pot(f),2 pot(r)? planning on using ej20 engine...

none of the above
if you are in NSW I would check with the RTA and a engineer bfore doing anything as the rules are starting to change on mod cars.
I know a bloke who spent 50k on a Kit car only to find out it didnt meet the RTA rules

Ian, he's in malaysia
probably abit overkill with the brakes, but you can never have to much stopping power
and gearbox depends how you drive
Ian has a stock one with a turbo EJ20 but he drives like a grandma

what is RTA anyway?
ok how if ej20 with stock box?
dont rev too high?
what makes a box get destroyed?
RTA I'd the road traffic authority. There are laws in aus (and they are different in all states) controlling what you can and can't do to modify registered cars.
What kills gear boxes? Power. These gearboxes were not designed to have heapsss of power to go through them, hence why Dave (stidub) is upgrading. And with an ej20 turbo, the last thing you wannt to happen is to have to pull the engine and gearbox out.
Priorities in the correct order?? Probably not. Unless and a
amazing pro is doing all the custom work (exhaust/ intake piping ect) leave body work till last.

Any idea what box jak rizzo is using?
Nice work Joel,
Just to comment on the box. most use single side plate boxes with a super diff...and welded 3rd and 4th gears.
I am pretty sure both Jak and Paul spun 3rd prior to gettin the gears welded.
I had the welded gears from the start, although i blew up 2nd gear twice......
I now have albins internals with really tall first (3.0), tall 2nd (2.0) stock ratio 3rd and taller 4th(.82)
Dave butler did mine and I have been taking heaps of people for "hard" runs and the box has not missed a beat.
Without a turbo a stock single side plate will last along time ....if you are not stupid with it all the time..
Matt
You win some, you lose some.....
well its a rainy, dark and gloomy day so i figured perfect to finally get those heads off and suss out my engine
shoulda known better as my mood would soon match.... cos what i found aint pretty
confusious say dont always trust low mileage engines.
because its so long between services this can happen:
lack of schedueled coolant changes has allowed severe electrolosis to nom nom the heads and engine block
and looking how close its got to the combustion chambers and cylinder liners i dont know how it was possible that it ran as well as it did
in all i got 387kms on it and it really impressed me even being like this with how it ran, so i realise that a fresher engine will be even better again
be that as it may though, at the moment im just really over all this shit and the haha told you so's so for now its going back to vw power
no fun but i got rego coming up shortly and its only done 600kms since last years pinky, so as you can imagine i just really want my bug back on the road wont be for too long though
once i regain motivation ill track down another engine or as a last resort theres a WRX front cut sitting here that can go in it but i really would prefer not go thro all the bullshit involved
a good mate of mine who's a car dealer has offered to pick me up a good liberty from the auctions when hes back fromt he US so if nothing turns up in the mean time thats proabbly the way ill go
