motor assembly

[STiNGR]

I've got my block assembled by Richard now im in the process of doing the rest myself. So everything above block like intake mani, injectors, turbo, loom etc etc. What I'm seekin is some instructions (with pics possibly) so I can get cracking.

Does anyone have a link or anything that could assist me in this process?

[STiNGR]

Nothing?

If you dont feel confident in doing it yourself richard would slap that out in a day and you would have it ready to go in......Just saying

Just follow your nose boss its easy as. Bolt crosspipe and sensors on. Bolt alt bracket on, p/s pump and put intake on block. Bolt engine mounts, flywheel, clutch, mani on and exhaust mani with turbo etc. Then coil pack/leads. Then drop it in complete. Tmic goes on last.

Take an hour max.

yeah you really cant stuff it up .

[STiNGR]

Oh yer I know how to put all pumps/alternator etc on just not wiring and lines as I have gone to a vf30 and just unsure if I have to change water pipes/oil lines etc etc it's just I have never worked on a v3/4 motor it's only v5/6 motors I have ever delt with. Will have another play tonight. I'm confident just would hate to mess up one thing and lunch my new motor.

Test fit it on the engine stand to make sure everything lines up and nothing fouls on turbo. I'm doing a similar thing atm, it's pretty easy stuff just bolt on this and that sorta deal haha. Then again I took mine apart myself so I kinda have it mapped in mind

Just make sure you use the banjo bolts for the vf30. May have to cut the join between the 2 coolant lines turbo end.

Yer I've got all nessessary bolts/lines for the 30. Richard changed the crossover pipe for me to a v3/4 type. Here is a pic at what stage I'm at. It's mainly like breathers, vac, water and oil lines that I'm unsure about. Thing is I'm running a v7 STi block with v4 STi ra heads just not 100% if like water pipes/breathers on the v7 block are in the same location of that of a v 3/4 block and if I need new pipes bla bla.

What are the we pipes on the block that have the chrimson rags in them? Where do they go? What about the big nipple under the throttle body? What goes there and where does it go? Also the oil line on the turbo I'm pointing at, what does that connect to. I know it's the oil feed but I can't seen to find the other end to it.

Kind of hard to show and tell over the web way easier for someone to nip over and spend 5 min explaining it. Being a v7 block it will have 2 crank breathers use the one closest to gearbox and cap off the one further away. The nipple under the tb is pcv valve will tee into crankcase breather and intake id guess. Those vac lines go to solenoid/map sensor stuff on strut tower.

The holes with the rags in them are the crank case/block breather ports. On my block I capped off the smaller centre port and just used the bigger one, (smaller one normally T'd into head breather lines on V7 STI).

The big nipple under the TB is the PCV valve (positive crankcase ventilation valve). PCV Valve delete and breather pipes covered in my conversion thread.

The other half/end of the turbo oil feed line is missing, just replace the whole line. Version 7 has a 2 piece oil feed.

Ok, so do the primary turbos on BH leggys a? Maybe I can pillage that one off the wreck.

Yes your exactly right it does have 2 breathers, presume they are the ones with the rags in the in the pic where you can see PVC. Ok the closest one to box is like right next to the turbo. So blank the other one off?

[Rosssub]

Yeah, but the primary feed is longer to get to the front of the head. I used my original secondary/VF27 feed line, just carefully bent it to fit the VF36

I've got head breathers on my v4 heads. So maybe I should use the center breather then?

[Guest]

Just use any line off an early wrx and use your bolts. The v7 feed splits to avcs and turbo hence the 2 piece pipe.

Correct on the breathers. The smaller one to cap is 16mm iirc and other 19mm.

Ok I will rob the vf27 one then lol

Your intake pipe should have 2 ports on it (12mm nipples). The block breather goes to one intake pipe port. Then both head breathers T together and feed into the other intake pipe port.

Ok. I don't have a v3/4 intake pipe yet as the car came with a v5 one. Spose I have to wait till I get the correct intake till I can run pipes.

Oh yup sweet, cheers klint. Can't find where the oil feed on the block is though.
