you guys are replying to a 2005 topic :P
Heh, maybe you're gonna wake the guy up, who knows :)

Wake me up??? I have checked out each comment here religeously. Maybe I should post some pics of my 2332 engine build? What you guys say

Bwahahahahaha!

hehe I'd like that for sure :righton:

:o :D

:angry: Pleease post some pics:p

OK guys, maybe I should add a few pics of my build....
It is taking me a lot longer than planned purely because I work in Europe and the car stands in South Africa. I only get to work on it a few weeks per year.

MY main thread (its a bit of a social thread) can be found at http://www.aircooledvwsa.co.za/viewt...hp?f=23&t=4515

Here are a few pics for the meantime....

I have not driven it yet because I didnt have brakes and ran out of time before needing to come back to work

A lot of those parts looks really familiar... :D My motor shares a lot of the same pieces by the look of it, what are the specs? It definitely sounds mean, too bad you didn't get a chance to drive it.

84x94, 9.9:1 CR, Web 86B, 44x38 valves, 044s, 48IDFs, 1.05mm deckheight, ceramic coated pistons and combustion chambers, thermal dispersant on barrels and heads, 13lb flywheel, low angle helical cam gear. A few more bells and whistle too.

I was origianlly going to build it with 5.325" rods, but wasnt happy with the clearance between the rod cap and the piston, so went for 5.5" rods.

That should get it done. Sounds like a nice combo.

lets hope so, the time and money invested into it, it better.

The big idea was to build it in prepartion for a turbo. I have another set of heads I am working on for the turbo, then all I need is a new set of pistons like LN sells, with the 16cc copy of the combustion chamber.
This however will only be in a few years time, I got a lot of other things to do first
