yes i want to keep the custom steel sump i all ready have, which is made from 3m steel, as i dont like the alloy ones for off road. i guess i will have to make some kind of tray my self to fit in it. iam also looking at a accusump system. just incase there is a slight lose in oil pressure.?

anyone used them before?

also does anyone know the spigot bearing shaft size on a 2ltr kombie box?

i think this might be the cause of constant input shaft seals leaking. as there seems to be a fair amount of wear. possibly input shaft worn.

yes motor was out yesterday. failed number 4 big end.

14.7mm pretty sure i cant get a bearing to suit that to fit the flywheel. it currently has a 15mm one. a 6002. unless my adaptor is not made correct and not centered. as the seal did not even last one lap arund colo it was a new seal by race trans australia..

only reason i want to use the sump is it is all ready made, and fill bolt straight on. and holds approx 3ltr more then standard. i would just hate for a rock or stick to puncture my sump or dent it, in way that it blocks the pickup..

so my concern is why did the seal not even last 1 lap? i all ready had the new engine. before i had the car.

mmm what to do :)

ian no worries on gen set info. hope it wasnt to late as it was gone when i looked todya.

Check the input shaft length, the 2 litre input shafts are about 15mm longer than 1600 and 1800, it may not even be reaching the spigot bearing depending on what bellhousing you are using and what the adapter plate was built for ?

yes, gear box breather is /was not blocked. the adaptor plate was built for sr20. to kombie, when glen had it it was find but he used original adaptor plate and fitted to his car, so he got a new one made. and it looks like the trouble started then.

so possible alignment issue with the plate. i will check alignment with plate bolted to engine. and run a wire out to where the vw bolts up to, you can see the mark it left and check alignment. as the flywheel had a spigot of 15mm id. but like you were saying tine,
the vw arnt 15mm but 14.7 i guess .3 aint going to cause that much of a issue.

some photos, the pick up has a brace that goes to main cap

ok bit of a update, found out old seal did not have a spring on it. so that was main reason for leak, as well as it was a old seal not a new one, but thanks to ron at race trans sent me a seal for nothing top bloke.

also found the a new rocker cover as mine had a crack in it, and found a cam angle sensor to replace the distrubuter. will also give me a lot more clearance against fuel tank.

clutch is nearly rebuild should be here mid next week. engine bolted in no worries apart from the engine mounts had to change them.
also mounted the howie powersteering pump.

and was able to unbolt the throttle body and bolt original on on new engine, so gets ride of all the other wires that were needed for the auto.

all the sump baffling is done and sump is on.

new radiator turned up, ended up using a rover v8 alloy radiator good price at 190 bucks it is 56mm thick and only 600 square. so a 15" thermo will fit nicely.

will be running the coil on plug, and ditching the distrubutor.
so hopefully in two weeks i should hope have the new engine fired up. and get tuned. but not with the quad throttle bodys. that will come later.

yeah i do enjoy, chaning it. just wish i didnt have to do it so soon. would have been nice to be able to finish one race meet. o well.. glad i had the engine at home ready to go in. as i planned on changing it anyway

Depending on computer and Ignition system you are running, The coils for some of the s15 engines have there own igniters built in, so if you are trying to fire them like the s13 you may have a problem. I had to by pass the EMS ignitor in my loom to get it to fire.

Cheers  Paul.

they are the yellow jackets s15 ones which are three wires

paul,

my tuner is having a problem he can get the coils to fire but he has to swap the power and earth over on the coil, which will over heat it.

other then that he cant get it to fire. so dont know

they are s15 coils and a ems dual sport, he said it still needs the igniter box like the old coils? but is it not all ready built into the coils?


any help would be good. as it looks like crookwell is out for this round (

thanks went and seen my tuner, he going to ring ems in morning. it sounds weird u would run two igniters.

hopefuly electrical issues sorted. but then the starter failed. which i was able to fix. so fingers crossed i get the car back today. :) unless something else goes wrong lol

is there another type of starter that will fit the 091 transsmissions? the vw seems a little gutless.
