Bought a turbo auto and had it sitting around for ages , decided to install it before the n/a auto dies which wouldnt be long.
Removed my auto on a mate hoist , before installing the auto it was suggest to change the filter on the turbo trans once opened it was evident that i wasnt going to be using the turbo trans.

06-09-16, 18:33 GMT+10#32 Going good ,
Sent the gearbox into a local transmission place in Newcastle to get checked out , turns out the box has heavy duty clutch's in good condition and a billet servo, bigger oil pan and not sure what else but everything checked out healthy so i decided to install in the shed by myself which was a prick of a job.
(http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/20160104_134941_zpsep7u2c6z.jpg.html)

(http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/20160303_145913_zpsyqgwzmkw.jpg.html)
Installed a VL Turbo stall converter 2400-2500ish rpm when putting the box back in not big enough but its what i had at the time
(http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/20160312_190349_zps0qercbhm.jpg.html)
Got it running and driving again , box feels good shifts pretty hard and will actually shift into 3rd on boost from 2nd which used to just hold till limiter and shift when it was ready
Not long after i had a feeling that the head gasket was on its way out ( getting a bit of oil in the coolant) so i decided to replace the head gasket with a Nissan OEM and ARP headstuds, had a spare head so i got it cleaned and pressure tested checked the valvestem seals ect and installed my cam into the fresh head which i believe is a tighe 147 cam?

(http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/20160530_150414_zps4amfro0c.jpg.html)
Had some issues with trying to ramp the car up hard as the auto wanted to kickdown to 2nd gear very easily , finding the limits of the stock ignition system and where the tuner wanted to push the gtr injectors

we did see 266rwkw on one run but had issues with it breaking down with the stock ignition system and ive got a feeling the stock n/a valve springs are holding power back a bit but im not %100 only revving it to 5600rpm atm, but it was finally good to drive it. Skids good clicks 3rd gear on the spot and powerskids hard

(http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/20170503_123204_zpselzor4ir.jpg.html)
I decided to do something about the vl.
I had been scrolling gumtree and found a S3 R31 being wrecked so I rang an had a look at the engine , loaded it up and brought it home still sitting on the subframe and with the gearbox attached
(http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/20170415_142101_zpsyo8oma22.jpg.html)
Opened up the shed for the first time in 6 months and wasn't i disappointed. The VL was looking sad covered in dust and surface rust , the paints always been bad but i do live close to the ocean which doesn't help

(http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/20170630_174822_zpsqzntezpm.jpg.html)
Started stripping the new engine down off the subframe and removed the gearbox , removed power steering pump and AC compressor. Will have to replace some vacume and heater hoses as they are old and brittle
Will most likely change these parts of the current engine when they are side by side
(http://s747.photobucket.com/user/xr6t_drifter/media/20170630_174736_zpsaia97rkk.jpg.html)
Still unsure if the S3 auto box flywheel is the same as the VL's
The plan is to put the new engine in stock standard and get it running and blueslipped as has been out of rego since Feb
So i removed the intercooler and piping , unplugged the loom and cooling system hoses along with the rad and all the small stuff starter motor AC compressor as the system still has gas just moved the compressor to the side

So now i had the engines side byside , i proceeded to start changing over parts engine mounts , powersteering bracket and A/C bracket , found out the cooling system hoses were a different size and didint want to remove the front of the motor to punch out the front water outlet from behind the water pump so i sourced some new heater hose to suit, changed a few vacume hoses
