Dustin, what i did was forget about the vaccum ports until i had everything else done. Then i just figured out what needed vaccum and found a place to supply it. then in my case, capped off any vaccum ports on the manifold i didn't need. The thought of "Must know what goes where" wore off as i went on and realized it was less of a deal as i was making it.

yea, I'm already there (not there as in finished, but "must know what goes where" there, thats why I'm trying to figure out what needs vacuum and what doesn't...
what can be capped and what not....so the engine will run ok......rather than trying to source and mimic the whole aan system.....

can I weld on vacuum ports to my ic piping rather than messing with the manifold?
same vacuum right? and same pressure as the im...........

or does it have to be after the throttlebody, (between the engine and the throttle body/ as in the im), so when the throttle is closed the vacuum comes from there?

thanks....
:?

Has to be after the throttle body.

Jim Green has an extensive write-up on his projects. Very good info there.

thanks mark, that helped me alot....
I'll tap the back of the manifold like jim did, with a t and then a seperate one for the IIc....
this is what to do right....

and another stupid question...
just got my vr bracket and machined pulley from 034.....where is the stock vr sensor on the aan that i'm supposed to use?
I guess it would be beneficial to know what vr means.......
thanks...

:? this is me as everything is new..........

 

[Audilard]

You can use one of the stock cq engine speed sensors found in the bell housing of the transmission.

ah ha,
cool, I saw they looked the same, just was uncertain...
thanks.

howdy maties,,,
got a few more questions to pester ya with.....

when installing the machined pulley from 034,
it says..

"Be sure to pay special attention to the minus-two-teeth location,
as a target of 8-20 teeth before TDC is desired the location pictures below locate the sensor 13 teeth before TDC."

how do I tell where tdc is?
it says desired location, so it seems as if this isn't a make or break timing function as it gives also the leway of 8-20 teeth........but i'd definetly like to do it as propper as possible.........

also,
I had some s2 hubs on the way but shipping got all messed up, some customs papers weren't ever filled out, so those won't be coming......and as i've already sold my 4x108 wheels to darin, i already have some 5x112's coming (pics as soon as they get here as I am excited for these ones)
but now I don't have any hubs....
so my options now reside in alternates....

will b5 front hubs work? or only the rears? and then what about brake disks, b5's?
and same with urs hubs (front and rear?) or just front only?
I know there is a post somewhere but I'm unable to find at the moment.....

(anyone have an extra set they want to pass my way?)

the car is workin along....
got the vacuum system lined up, intercooler plumbed up, and on to wiring............sure i'll hit a few walls with what smalll amount of wiring I have to do.......
thanks for the imput.....

If you bought the machined pulley from 034 the 60-2 wheel is already welded on somewhere in that desired location. The instructions are for those who just bought the wheel and are welding it on themselves. TDC is where you set the engine when removing the timing belt. So when you have the locking tool and set the engine to tdc you will remove the timing belt and crank pulley and simply put the 034 one on. Then if you bought the vr sensor bracket you will need to count the teeth from tdc to the sensor and put that # in the software. Confused? :wink:

 

[s2 on the way]

hmmm,,,,
they did the welding for me.
I just unbolted the crankpulley and sent it to them so its all one piece....
I didn't have a locking tool, I just wrenched it in gear and after a bit of movement the pulley came loose. so I still have no idea where tdc is...
I just left the timing belt on since there was no reason to take it off, so its all timed......
so yup, i'm confused..

are there any factory markings like on the cam pulley or somethin to tell tdc?
thanks..

 

[s2 on the way]

after looking again I come to find I was previously colorblind...
there is a yellow dot on the cam pulley which corresponds to a marking on the valvecover...
this is tdc when they are aligned right?

so if this is tdc, then the crank pulley needs to be 8-20 teeth before tdc or before the vr sensor?
as it sits in the photo it is 16 teeth before the minus2 teeth at the vr sensor,
is this right? or do I need to rotate the pullety to the right one turn the minus2 is 8-20 teeth before the top position when it is in tdc?

sorry the photo is sideways.....

 

[newt]

It's perfectly fine as-is.

 

[s2 on the way]

sweet, tightening her down and movin on....thanks.........

 

[JShadzi]

Nice progress, great job

 

[Audilard]

Thanks again for the wheels. Glad you sold them, but I hope you get some hubs soon.

 

[xcellr8edaudi]

too nice and too close to not finish it and be happy with what you started! think about the grin youre gonna have on your face all the time when you're driving it.
so yea... git er dun.

 

[s2 on the way]

hells yea,
i feel like i'm gettin there, slowly but surely....

glad you like the wheels..
I finally found some for cheap that I like, ,they need a bit of work, but got em for a good price, i'll take some pics when I get em later this week, gotta get some hubs now..i had thought they were comin a long time ago....... hopefully the car will be running before I am able to get her rollin......

 

[SilverCQ]

i got some 16" borbet's i still need to get rid of 4 luggers, incase you dont get your 5lug hubs in time, i'll give ya one hell of a deal on em...

 

[s2 on the way]

cool dood,
i'll definetly have to do that if I'm unable to find some hubs in time.....

 

[s2 on the way]

now on to the wiring..................
I've got the biggest headache from going through my bently trying to figure out what each clip from the harness goes to..(they couldn't make it easy by clip color, but only by wiring color, so I've been going through all the colors going into the clips)
got most of it sorted out, but there are a few where the colors just don't match up.......

I know many of you have used the coupe harness and spliced into it and what not, so these questions might be quight rudimentary for you (which I really do hope), but for me, my headache is growing as I'm really trying to figure out what I can rather than just posting every little question and sounding like more of an idiot than I am....

first question,
I can not locate any possible clips used for the oil pressure and oil temp....
in this diagram it looks like there is a subharness that connects to the main harness with these plugs,
is this what I am missing (which I really hope for ease sakes)

and if so,
is this the clip it clips to? (since I couldn't find what this clip could be after scouring the bently's wiring diagrams system by system, by system, by page by page by......... :drool:
labled clip #3 in the diagram in green...

wires are g/w r/b and bk....its a big 3 clip....

and if not what is that for?

and on to next clips I couldn't match colors to...

this big clip has 6 wires and is a 7 slot clip.......
it looks like it should go to the injector valve series resistance by number of wires, but the colors in all the diagrams just dont' match up....
??

and the next.
these 2 clips are a perfect fit for 2 sensors coming out of the tranny right under the firewall(stock coupe tranny 01e I think), but I couldn't link up the colors either....but coudn't find any other place for them to go, so I am assuming this,
(but I am really not trying to go by assumption, so i'm either looking for a confirmation or a smack in the face)

and the last
there are also no clips left to go to the 2 sensors on the watermanifold......

are these part of the (I"m dreaming and hoping for) a subharness that I'm missing?

thanks for baring with my headache......
and for any help,
:thanks: in advance......
