Morgen,

This entire project would not be moving forward if my original engine did not need to be rebuild. Agreed, it is a very well designed lump and it needs rebuilt to no fault of its own but rat ...

Awesome project! Just a little input from a former hx35 user: I had this turbo on a 4cyl engine with 1.9l of displacement and I could barely get it to spool before 4.5K... then it would promptly take ...

Gegge,

You are absolutely correct. May sound crazy, but in my neck of the woods rebuild parts for the 2.0 are ether unobtainable or priced out of the ball park. My goals are to drive and enjoy the ...

kondzi,

Shes a keeper. I enjoy the car, and its something i have always had my eye on, even from from childhood. This is certainly not an investment vehicle. Interior was trashed, and it was poorly ...

Ahh, sorry to hear that. Had an Audi 100 with that engine, really liked it. With regards to mating the engine to the torque tube: what did you find was most difficult? Any tips I could learn from?

Morgen,

No doubt in my mind that the 2.0 is capable of those numbers and quite more... afterall look at what was achieved by the factory as well as numerous race teams with that engine platform du ...

What engine will you be installing?
You should keep well the original engine, just in case.

I am undecided yet on the exact engine. I am currently leaning to a 1.8l 8v JH out of the original rabbi ...

nickthompson,

What a great combination for forced induction... drove a rabbit with this combo and it surprised me how brutal it was. Then you add in the relative simplicity of that combo vs 1.8t (e ...

Goal: To configure the 924 to accept an engine from the VW/Audi EA82 ...

morghen,

Thanks!

Well after mulling over the pros and cons, I am going the swap route. It does not require no longer available parts i will likely not find, it will be sustainable for future ser ...

Morghen, making calls this week to get a concrete quote with regards to the sleeve, i do think this is worth looking into.

Noahs944, thanks for the kind words! Sure i wont turn down a picture reque ...

Thanks for the information. I anticipate having the bottom end out of the 924 by the end of next week. This will allow me to further inspect the condition of the remaining components, and help more ...

This board has been invaluable during my last 4 years of 924 ownership. I may not be overly active, and that’s because 90% of my questions are answered quite well by exercising the search function.
