Engine is in !
 

Rite!! well haven't updated in ages. Had a bit of time off and then just been so busy, but pulled my finger out tonite and me and a mate slotted the 16v in. went in quite nicely but still a few more bits to do ran out of time but ill get all that done tomorrow. And then finish of the wiring, ive got 2 sensors left and dont know where they go. maybe a difference between gti and vtr but im shure ill figure it out ! but the main bulk of its done now so it should be straight forword from here. i hope lol

A few piks









Leave a few comments please would be nice to get your feedback :y:

Looks very nice mate. The engine and parts are spotless !

Cheers! yea took a while to spank it up ! wonder how long itl take me to get it filthy again lol :y:

The engine is in and all the sensors are plugged in and i have got my multiplugs ready to solder on!

But i only have one lambda sensor plug on the loom ???? so unsure if this is a gti thing or im missing one ?? where i can stick the other bugger or if its needed and just use the one pre cat sensor

Any help would be appreciated

looks awesome, wish i had the time for a project like this, if i were you id just use the one lambda sensor, if thats how the loom is :y:

looks minted mate. Well done

great project mate. keep up the good work. :y:

looking good colours in the engine bay are looking well together

with the other lamba, could you just blank it off? you can get the blanking plugs for like £15, if thats any help? awesome project mate..
cant wait to see pics of it all finished, will lookd weird seeing a sax with a gti front bumper, but be a good weird if that makes sense lol.

Thanks for the positive comments ! Havnt even been down to the garage in weeks been so busy! will have to brief the misses and get a week off. will find out what year my engine is as well and try figure out why i can only plug one lambda into my loom or find out im an idiot and just missed the other plug :p

looks really nice. i plan to do the same one day

plugged it all in tonite and turned the key for the first time. now the fule pump didnt prime and the key light flashed on the dash. grr !

Rite this is where im at the the moment! i got everything in the bay is back together yesterday and took a deep breath and turned the key !
Now the engine turned over but the fuel pump didnt prime and the key light was flashing on the dash. now i think it is my wiring that is at fault as ive cut and shut the gti loom to the vtr multi plug. i had a quick fiddle around with it but it was getting late so i called it a day ! I was just wanted to see if anyone could maybe point out something i may have over looked ? oh and yes my ecu is unlocked.
Heres a few piks of my phone--

Locked my ecu !! what a plonker :wall:
Didnt remove my immobilizer!! But i went back and checked all my wiring had fuel pump priming and relay working so i know its my ecu !
so its waiting on ecu unlocking again and im away ! still kicking my self tho
