Its almost in !
Hopefully by Sunday evening, this engine will be installed ... just have the valvetrain geometry to do and then install the cooling system and reconnect the electronics.
Almost there ..... I'll be at the June meet with the bug ... guaranteed. Sandeep |

Thanks.
Specs are : 2.0 T4 with RAT custom cam, HAM 42x38 turbo heads, ceramic lifters, dry sump, MS injection with 599cc/min injectors, PWR air to water, 911 cooling, datalogger, and a VF39 turbo from a 2005 STI. The parts for the 2.4L are sitting on the work bench, just waiting for the custom JE's and LN Engineering 98mm V2 Nickies to finish testing. I hope to start assembling this motor by the end of this year. Lets get those aircooled's out of the garage and onto the streets ! Sandeep |

Got the motor in and will start wiring it up tonight.
Does anybody have any rocker arm base shims that fit between the head and rocker shaft assembly ? I'm thinking T1/T4 are the same except I need 8 for the T4 as the T1 only has 4. Rocker geometry is a bit off and I want to do the best I can. Its a little too late to order some now ... I want to fire this engine up on the weekend Thanks Sandeep |

I've got a couple sets of T1 rocker shims. Sets of 4. I could make them out of shim stock if you know the thickness you need.

Thanks guys.
Pete, Can you tell me how thick they are ? I am not sure on the size I need but I'm thinking I could start with any thickness. I'll need 8, let me know. Thanks Sandeep |

Looks like I sorted out the rocker arm geometry without any shims. I installed the cooling system and wired up the car last night.
Tonight I have to install the injectors and check the fuel system before starting it up .. hopefully on the weekend. Hope to be on the road and driving for June 1st Sandeep |

Hope to have it running for the weekend. Just received some thermocouples so now have to drill and tap the bottom of the DS tank to get an accurate oil temp reading. I've got an Innovative Motorsport LMA-3 and TC4 to hook up still ... they both talk to the megasquirt so I can get some kick a$$ datalogs ... going to tuning this motor on the EDGE !!! Sandeep |

Well,
The motor fired up on the first few cranks It sounds meaner than the original 2.0 so I'm going to have to evaluate it on the road because I have no muffler (no room). I'm tuning the motor with the laptop right now ... on track for a road test next weekend Sandeep |
