It's what I do to be honest nothing engine wise will be standard it's having forged rods and Pistons I build exhaust manifolds and systems also inlet manifolds and stuff my Facebook page is yapfab if you wanted to take a look there's lots on there I will upload some more photos tomorrow evening once I've got the bay sorted and seam welded 😁

It's a bit out of the ordinary but wanted to be a little different
Just don't know if it's a little to far forward in the bay or not but I'm in to deep to change it now haha
I'll get some
More pics up as this is the first thread I've done for one of my projects so I hope I start getting some more views on it soon haha I'm going to post up a pic of one of the cars I've seen on Google and see what you guys think
Cheers again for your kind words mate really appreciate it

Might run the rad in the boot as I need to cut the floor out to repair it and I think I'll be running an external oil cooler so will only be a sandwich plate to fit up front
Again I think I'm a way off that yet hahah
I might even make some new mounts to shift the engine back a bit further but I'm gonna see how it goes first might be fine
Work shall resume tomorrow on it and see what goes on from there
Cheers again for the reply and if anyone else has any more pointers to look out for I'm all ears haha
Cheers

Good to hear your fabricating your own stuff! Like to see how this sort of thing is done!!

I notice you have cut into the chassis legs to create the flat areas for the mounts; is that going to make the engine very low in the bay? I only ask because I'm about to raise mine to give more ground clearance for the sump. I guess the inlet manifold is going to limit how high you can get it as it looks quite high at the front.
Mine's a PD130 so nothing at the front to get in the way.
The Red Rocket! My Mk1 Tdi Build.....
My VAG family:
1982 Mk1, PD130 Tdi, 6 speed, ongoing project, to be my daily driver (one day)!
1983 Mk1, 1.8 Gti, stripped out, ongoing project, track car only.
1990 Mk1 Cabrio, 1.8 8v Turbo, G60 ECU, long term project (17 years so far)!
2008 T5 LWB, 1.9 Tdi, to be converted to camper when I've finished using it as a van!
1999 Audi A4 Avant Quattro, 2.5 Tdi, currently off the road, more work required.
2010 Tiguan R-Line, daily driver.

Thanks for the feedback that driveshaft angle is what I'm most worried about I've gotta check see where they line up I've got it on the ramp now so will take some more pictures once I'm down there in the morning but yeah I'm slightly worried the cv's are going to lunch themselves if there's excessive angle on them also I'm running 6 speed and the drive flanges are that much bigger there's not a lot of room for the cv to bolt to the box without hitting the driveshaft gap in the chassis leg As for the height it's got about 4" from sump to Tarmac
Now I'm not overly fussed about that as I am planning on running a dry sump at some point but if it's problem I'll make the sump shallower and yeah that's the only reason I cut the chassis legs and dropped the mounts in a little
The engine mount is only down 30mm the gearbox is 35mm they need a bit of fine tuning as the engine side is slightly lower than the gearbox side so I'm planning on shaving some off the mount to come up a little and bring them both level again it's only like 3mm out so someone just looking at it wouldn't even notice unless your looking for it
I appreciate your comments and will get some more progress on it next week for now here's how low the sump is

Looks an exciting project, liking the mounts.

I think it should be ok but who knows until it's used in anger haha
I will move the filter I think as it is tight so you think the sump level is about right yeah
Should hopefully have shafts and stuff on in the next week or so as soon as I've got them in and working ok I'll get the engine out and start the cage and bring the cage through the bulkhead and string it into the strut towers and onto the chassis legs should make it nice and rigid
Thanks again for your comments guys hope you like it when it's done it's going to be my company demo car (Yapfab)
Take a look on fb if you want my websites not up yet still

They didn't look like that when I got them haha glad the sump isn't different height to anyone else's
The wheels will be on a decent profile tyre not silly stretch this things going to be used and abused haha
Once the engine is in the right place with shafts installed I'll be starting the exhaust and inlet manifolds
I'll get some better pics of the wheels tomorrow too

Also the angle of the shafts see what you all think
