Dude when you look in the encyclopedia under the words Attention To Detail there must surely be pics of your car.

It's a big compliment.

When I finally decided to buy sem motorsport intake passenger side (LHD) sale was off and no more PS ones. Inwas so mad. I contacted SEM and they initially rejected my demand for another PS big port intake. I contacted even Arnold from pag and when he said he will be able to get one Tom from sem motorsport that he will do one for me because he liked my build thread!!!!!! Man was I happy or what hehehehehe. He made one like here:

Tom from sem motorsport decided to make some more  of his big port passenger side (LHD) intakes for me after seen my build thread. At first he rejected me,and after few days me being desperate and contacting Arnold from pag parts he came back in mail very kindly offering to made one for me. I couldn't believe. Man was I happay or wshat.

he made first this one:

 

 

 

but due to the fact that I was going to grid this welding points and polish the intake for chrome plating he suggested to do another one and that he will smoothen the welding lines because after it he can pressure test it, and I can't so he did this beauty:

 

 

 

 

We agreed not to wels SEM sign because it will be hard to polish in between letters and chrome plating won't be perfect

 

I also ordered 60mm OE TB adapter, because oppening is 80mm,

 

TB oval and IAT square connector extension harness

Can't wait to get it and to put back all that chrome plated stuff:

TB

Intake

valve cover

catch can

alternator housing

oil filter housing

OE baffled sump

 

 

Me happyyyyy

Hi my trusty follower 

I've been doing some nice things yesterday....

so lets see

 

First I installed

Coil Pack Wiring Harness Conduit

 

 

If you use AGN valve cover coil on the 4cylinder can't sit straight paralele to other three because that oil tower at that side.

So some ginding of the coil was made:

 

 

and here is the result

 

 

 

But to complete installation we had to deal with to short ground wire

 

 

first I copied an idea seen elsevhere on forum_ drille hole in that cover

 

 

 

but it still was to short and holded cover under tnesion

 

so I decided to lenghten it with original piece left in garage from some Polo

 

 

ofcourse it has to be thermo protected so we used this beauties

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

fire source from Wegner for swiss army hehehe

 

 

 

bout ends were protected and than second thermal sleeve from added part was used as second barrier to protect soldering point (did I wrote this right??)

 

 

 

 

neat and clean

And further progress was made:

 

in place with cover

 

 

we added additional nut under it to raise it and move away from cover as much as we can:

 

 

 

closed it with inox nut with cap

 

 

and final result is here. nice and clean:

 

 

 

almost factory like hehehehe

[davojuri]

Due to the fact my car was running like with cold, when I press throttle fast it doesn't react as before, no vag com errors, coils were new, TB adaptation done. I checked my IK 24 preggaped to 0,024" (0,6mm) and they were oppened to 0,8mm, we  reduced the gap but still not taking throttle like my car did before.

Ordered some new ones, but this time no tax for foole (pregapped), we gapped them by ourself!!!

 

 

 

HAven't finished car so I still don't know if that was the problem

[davojuri]

I finally had  time and had that hood holding bar powder coated black glossy

 

 

[davojuri]

So it's finally time for that oil ****ing 034motorsport Vortex catch can.

I decided to use some fluorolined hoses and to reroute that vapor and oil mixture underneath the car.

Idea was to remove that air filter on top, and to use some 

180 degree hose:

SFS was perfect choice, 25mm

 

 

it has green inner fluorolining

 

 

25 to 19mm adapter is going to be ussed to connect it to 19 mm hose planned to gou under the car behind the subframe.

I simulated it with an old 19mm hose and sow that 45 degree hose is needed

ASH was the choice for 45 and straight one. Unfortunatelly they don't do 180 degree one

 

 

 

Just hate those blue barbed connectors. Couldn't find black ones 19mm.

If anyone on forum can give me a link to black ones I will appreciate it.

 

ASH has red inner fluorolining

 

 

remowed the air filter

 

 

shortened one leg of that 180degree elbow for tight fit under the hood and as much as possibble stealth look

 

 

 

to be continued......

Great work as always!

Do you ever drive your car, or are you too busy making it into a work of art?

hahaha thanks..... yes I drive it and how...that's why I'm sad right now...hope to solve it with sparks....

tomorow will finish catch can rerouting, replace one Mishimoto with Forge coolant hose-due to the leaks, and shorten some silicone hoses i've put for servo pump, and will put large underengine plastic cover, like for diesel ones....

Unbeleivable...i only just bought mine a month ago but seeing some of the projects on here, i feel like going into hiding...

nice buddy, looking great ..

 

I also trimmed mine both the 2 front plastic lugs and the rear section that is near cam belt side 

 

 

[davojuri]

I finished yesterday may catch can rerouting installation

I did cut that elbow as much as possibble to have clean look

 

 

conected it thorugh 25 to 19mm barbed conector to 19mm hose

 

 

routed it behind subframe

 

]

 

fixed it with 2 adel clamps

 

 

 

 

 

and did cut excess horisontal to the floor

 

 

final result

Did also replace that low quality Mishimoto radiator hose for Forge one:

 

 

it was to lose on both ends and did leak regardles of tightened clamps

 

 

 

did also shorten that horisontal hose with ASH sign on servo pump because it was rubbing on that plastic lateral cover

 

 

That's all for now

And yes car runs like crazy again....

new sparks solved the problem heheheh

[davojuri]

While imping my CRV with some red fender washers like here: I came to an idea of ussing them om my SKODILAC baby. So I bought a 60pack of them, additional 20 red for CVR, 20 black and 20 silver to see which will suit better Installed black on one side and silver on another

 

 

Which ones do you like more??????

So you are venting the catch can to atmosphere. Is that a good idea on these cars. I heard you need a least 25mm outlet to avoid crankcase pressure build up. Also a lot of oil mist will be spilling out on the road which might not be best idea.?

[missingmyvrs]

Yes above correct it req the pipe to be plumed back to intake

To atmosphere req min of 25 mm and Atleast 2 outlets

Without this you will increase the crank case pressure causing oil blow by and premature ring damage

[davojuri]

Ok. I can always put filter back on catch can with 25mm ID connection. But when it was so it was spiting oil out of can and making me crazzy even it is so called "vortex" system from 034motorsport and no oil is supposed to come out except evaporations. Now there is no oil mess underneath the car. Or I might go 25mm all the way down instead of 19mm. Both ways it was drained to atmosphere but manny thanks for pointing out that 25mm issue!!!! I will for sure reconsider it and either put filter back or 25mn all the way down.
