VFF700 ST Build with pictures
Well I had originally planned on installing the kit two weekends ago. Unfortunately, it arrived sans an intercooler pipe, so the install was pushed into this past weekend. I will let the pictures do most of the talking, but if you have any questions let me know. As it stands now I am just waiting on my DME, a couple feet of the small meth tubing, and a few wiring odds & ends for the meth kit to start her up. Hoping for Thursday.
Also I am not installing the Spec 2+ clutch, Steel FW, Quafie, DSS axles, and diff. lockdown kit until March. The order of the pictures got jumbled during upload... Here are some torque specs I compiled that may be of use to some people. I have it in word if anyone is interested, the forum didn't like the tables. +90* means turn an addition 90 degrees. Torque Specs Single Turbo Install / Waterpump Part NM / lbft Subframe Brace 56 / 41 +90* Steering Shaft to Steering Rack 21 / 16 Motor Mount to Subframe 2 small bottom E12: 18 lbft Nut on top 16mm: 35 lbft Bracket to Cylinder Head 9 / 6.6 Engine Mount to Engine Bracket M10 10.9: 56 / 41 E92 M10: 38 / 28 Subframe to Chassis M12: 108 / 80 M10: 56 / 41 +90* Strut Brace to Chassis M12: 100 / 74 +100* Strut Brace to Strut Tower M10 40 / 30 +60* DP Bracket to Engine/Trans.

Jesus, looks how much room is in there. Makes my hands jealous after installing this stage 3 kit. Its only the prototype but man is it tight. That looks like a breeze to install. Great looking kit too, very well made.

1) A stud stuck in the head half in and half out (top back of engine)... ended up shearing the head of the stud (small torx socket) but not the threaded area. After trying to get it off with a couple of nuts, heat, and & PB blaster; I just decided to leave it on and let the new manifold nut tighten it all the way down. Which it did nicely. 2) Reaching one of the shortened manifold nuts under the pipe going to the turbo. 3) Getting all the v-band clamps to seat without dislodging one another 4) Getting the downpipe to midpipe bolts in. Took a couple hours of prying and loosening all the v-band clamps so everything could rotate. Keep in mind this is after raising the subframe and removing the engine support beam.

That's some serious work to take on in your garage. Congrats!
And you're pretty brave to get under the car no stops behind those back wheels. ![]() |
