DAZ-13B Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Thanks again fellasI'm going to get the head tested and reassembled first up,if thats cactus I may aswell look around for a T5 engine as the chances of finding another R at the wreckers in Australia is fairly slim ,does the T5 and the R engine share the same compression ratio ? I will then send the 18T off for a once over and reassembly.Next step I guess is to start ordering all of the necessary gaskets,head bolts,exhaust studs and nuts,water pump, cam belt,serpentine belt,idlers and tensioners from IPD.Pics to follow soon !

Figure the 2.3 the 2.4 and the 2.5 are all the exact same motor minus displacement , rods and pistions but will bolt up to any m56 , m66 , m59 , m58 and the autotragicrap .

EVL WAGN Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 That threaded rod that your not sure of looks to be the wastegate actuator rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTV70R Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 That threaded rod that your not sure of looks to be the wastegate actuator rod.No it's not. It's a bracket that bolts to the valve cover (2 holes/bolts to the valve cover) and the top engine mount. The threaded end goes through a hole on the top engine mount bracket. Look at the closeup of the top engine mount bracket. There is a large hole, then a smaller hole underneath. The threaded part goes in that hole.

Chilled man Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 thats not a water hose thats the break booster hose it goes to the intake manifold at the throtal itself. and the only upgrade you can do to the throtal is to find a NonTurbo one there a bit bigger.

DAZ-13B Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 no prob and it looks like a bad headgasket for as white as some of those exhuast valves are ...Hi thereWhat would cause a bad head gasket on an unmodified car like this ? do they have any inheritant faults or could it just be lack of servicing of cooling system ect ?Just wanted to know as I would like to address any known issues with the rebuild.PS Chilled Man whats your name ?Regards Darrin (but my friends just call me Daz !)Great Find! Hope your able to get it up and running again!Thanks mateyProbably the only real problem here in Australia is finding parts,I would expect there would only be a hundred of these imported originally...?I have found a 2.4T in Melbourne but that car is 900 klms away ! So I will just have to play the waiting game and just see what comes up.Regards Daz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
