Re: the (turbo) Mad Max Rocco lives! (sorta long)

["Alex Ting" <alext@nu2u.net>]

well,
that was Nate's motor (vwn8), with my turbo kit on the
engine stand.
But it was basically the same motor as it was a JH
as well.
I should be at the ND show with BOTH sciroccos, but I just
have to con my girlfriend into driving one of them.... :)

>>
>> '83 rocco
>>
>> motor:
>> 1.8JH, g-grind cam, autotech adjustable cam sprocket, open
>> k+n filter on pcv breather, k+n air filter, euro-curve disty, eurosport
>> plug wires, moroso valve cover (courtesy of honnold), euro oil
>> filter flange, earl's lines and fittings, mocal (?) 16 row cooler,
>> cam oil splash guard, oil pan windage tray, low temp fan switch
>> and thermostat, Redline Water Wetter, golf/16v radiator w/passat
>> dual fans, port matched intake w/audi 5K TB, eurosport 2" cat back
>> exhaust with dual outlet magnaflow muffler, and of course, the BAE Turbo
>> kit.
>>
>> tranny:
>> stock 2H, and a velocity limited slip diff on my garage
>> floor staring at me wondering why it's not in the car.
>> No short shift kit anymore because it won't clear the turbo pipe.
>> Redline fluid.
>>
>> suspension:
>> Bilstein sports, Ground Control coil-overs with 375lb front/300 rear,
>> Neuspeed front 22mm and rear 28mm swaybars, Neuspeed front
>> upper and lower stress bars, Neuspeed rear triangulated stress bar,
>> delrin front and rear bushings, poly steering rack bushings, vw
motorsport
>> rear trans mount, tt hd front mount, 16x7.5 ABT wheels w/Pirelli P-zero
>> 205-45-zr16s.
>>
>> brakes:
>> 22mm MC and 16v booster, rocco 16v pedal cluster, velocity braided
>stainless
>> lines, ATE super blue fluid, ferodo pads, 11" Corrado calipers (painted
>> yellow!) and rotors, Momentum brake adaptor kit.
>> And Speedbleeders on order!
>>
>> interior:
>> corrado dash, soon to have full VDO gauges in place of stock
>> instruments, 16v seats, soon to be replaced with sparco or other,
>> no back seat, semi-stripped interior, A3 dome light (thanks nate!),
>> 4-point harnesses on the way, italvolanti steering wheel, momo
>> race air shift knob, cut down shift lever, power door locks and windows.
>>
>> exterior:
>> hehehe.....
>> three different colors including red, black, and primer black,
>> corrado front bumper, euro headlights, kamei mesh grill,
>> kamei grill spoiler, 16v antenna, clear euro signals, tinted
>> rear lights, JE designs rear tailight fill plate, zender GTX rear wing,
>>
>> So, the BAE turbo is a nice addition to the motor (thanks Kevin!)
>> It pumps out around 6psi, and since it is designed to produce boost

>> The Momentum brake kit was well made, with the exception of

>> ugly as sin!  (and now it makes cool whooshing noises!)
>>
>> any questions?  feel free to ask....
