I am happy. I got my LM1 wideband and my Greddy profec Bspec II this week. Dunn is dropping off the little motor tomorrow morning. Who is game for some VR6 play time?

Gonna pull the jetta in, pull the motor, clean up donor motor, bolt on goodies and new headgasket on spacer, set it up with SDS required stuffz, and put her back together. Tomorrow I will know condition of motor from dunn.. Head off, cylinders looked at, crank area looked at, etc, etc,,,

Sunday Jetta should be in for start of disassembly and I will see how its goes monday because I am off work.

So I guess that means you will not be joining us for the drive and GTG on Sunday?

Good to hear.

Unfortunately I am going to be gone all weekend. I might stop by on my way back from the mountains on Sunday though.

Hopefully this majic is better than my last run of majic.. LOL

The motor looks fucking good. We got the Jetta in the garage with hood off. I cleaned it up to get started.. Pics to follow.

Here is today's update.

Here is how she is setting after today.. Tomorrow (sat) the motor comes out.

The 900 mile VR is hanging on other side of car..

Jesus · « **Reply #10 on:** February 20, 2005, 12:54:34 AM »

900 miles?
Is that a typo?

JettaGLXdriver · « **Reply #11 on:** February 20, 2005, 01:05:20 AM »

negative.

Dunn has a bud that does those charger prototypes.. He got the motor a while back with intentions of prototyping a charger setup on it and it only collected dust. He posted up a while back about it and said he needed $500 for it. I now have it setting in my garage. It has the head, injectors and rail, tensioner, accessorie bracket, timing hardware, and secondary air pump on it.. HEHE

Wow :shock: :shock:

That's the score of the decade right there.

JettaGLXdriver · « **Reply #13 on:** February 20, 2005, 01:19:06 AM »

Hellz yeah..

I now have 3 VR6 blocks, 2 heads, extra fuel rail, 2 idler pulleys (one brand new one 900 miles), and allot of other goodies..

HEHEHE

Jesus · « **Reply #14 on:** February 20, 2005, 01:21:24 AM »

I was thinking the same thing..that you have a nice stock of spare parts now.

JettaGLXdriver · « **Reply #15 on:** February 20, 2005, 08:30:22 AM »

Hope I don't need them for a while

MistressAnne · « **Reply #16 on:** February 20, 2005, 09:42:15 AM »

SITTING... :mad:

:twisted:

greggearhead · « **Reply #17 on:** February 20, 2005, 09:52:29 AM »

Yeah, it made me wish I needed a VR6 engine for something. He has a BUNCH of japanese stuff (honda, Toyota 4cyl) and a partial 2.0 crossflow, too. I'll probably swing by his place next week and check some more stuff out.

Jeff · « **Reply #18 on:** February 20, 2005, 10:05:55 AM »

sweet deal. keep us updated on your progress

JettaGLXdriver · « **Reply #19 on:** February 20, 2005, 11:07:23 AM »

OK goint back out to garage for Sunday session.

JettaGLXdriver · « **Reply #20 on:** February 20, 2005, 09:55:07 PM »

Update..

I pulled the clutch off and started prepping the motor. I should have most of the stuff swapped over tomorrow.. Who knows maybe I will get engine set back in.

Jeff · « **Reply #21 on:** February 20, 2005, 11:44:15 PM »

looking good swank

JettaGLXdriver · « **Reply #22 on:** February 21, 2005, 08:03:50 AM »

Its gonna be interesting getting motor mated back up with tranny (I hate they way they made that bolt hole on block go between transmission case and axle flange.

LOS · « **Reply #23 on:** February 21, 2005, 08:09:16 AM »

damn getting a good jump on it i see LOL.

JettaGLXdriver · « **Reply #24 on:** February 21, 2005, 10:27:56 AM »

a little.
:wink:

« **Reply #25 on:** February 21, 2005, 10:41:29 AM »

Nice progress! Ever figure out what was wrong with the old motor?

JettaGLXdriver · « **Reply #26 on:** February 21, 2005, 10:55:55 AM »

Have not pulled the head yet. That should be today. I bet the bad motor looks like Ryan's inside. The main part that concerned me which was what caused the failure has already been fixed.
