If I remember correctly, the VEMS has a tach-out function just for driving a tachometer. I could be mistaken though.

Well i will take the harness out and ditch the stock ecu and all the wires not needed

Does the vw trans and the Audi engine bolt up to each other?

If not, you have swap numbers for Kennedy.

from what i see its an audi gearbox as there are no VW trans axles since 1978 the vw uses audi boxes

yes this transmission came from a 2001 passat it is what is called a 012 transmission and it bolt right to the Audi engine it has a dual bolt pattern and the shift linkage is from a Porsche boxster as it uses this same 012 transmission in the 97-99 years . the 012 is not the best transmission for the toughest you want the 01E fwd 6 speed it is in 04 and up Audi A4's and it bolts to the Audi v8 . i forgot you can get a 016 transmission they came in Audi 5000 ,90,100,200 from mid 80's to mid 90's and are a bit tougher than the 012 i am told and bolt up to the V8 Audi and for the flywheel 034 motorsports

Don't worry, there's still time.

Good luck, always glad to hear good things happen for others.

quote Originally posted by engine man: OK this front nose on this car with its head lights

That's exceptionally ugly.

Hey Will could you tell me how you really feel lol. I suppose it is a matter of taste i see things i don't like but others like so i am not offended in any way and it will be on my car

It will look bad IMO . Apart from that I'm watching with great interest. I was walking through my school parking lot and saw a Jetta with a W8 in it, one can only dream..

well every one is entitled to there opinion and i totally understand some not liking it and some liking it .

Don't let the naysayers get you down. Sometimes people don't realize that it's actually your car you are modifying and you have to live with it. It would be different if you had asked for an opinion.

Keep up the great thread. Looking forward to seeing how the story turns out.

Thanks RCR i did ask for Photo shop but got opinions instead

At the end of the day it is your car do it the way you want, which is pretty damb well. Keep up the good and intresting work.
I am intrested in how your axles turn out as I have not got any made for my engine swap my axle are probably a little more out of alignment than yours.

that looks about the same maybe just a touch more but dam close . that engine is very nice looking and i am sure will sound and preform great. these headlight are from a Mitsubishi 3000gt 1994 and up i think they will work for what i want

That is a photoshop made from 85SEnochie . It uses NSX headlamps instead. Try posting in his photoshop thread: Photo Chop Shop is open lets give it a shot!
i think 3000gt headlamps with munson's nose has potential to look good.

Thanks ghost187x the 3000gt headlights would look very similar and i think that thing looks great

i always liked the idea of Angel eye sunfire lights in replacement.

Archie is doing a pair of those 3000GT head lights right now.

Thanks and i am considering them since they are just bolt in and i like the looks of them

Yaa i got my knuckle back today from the machine shop

[This message has been edited by engine man (edited 10-03-2012).]

Interesting.

this should allow me to run VW passat axles when used with their hubs that are redrilled to 5x100 bolt pattern. the VW axles are bigger and have bigger CV joints

I went out to fastenall and had to order bolts so i can put the rear suspension back together . i got looking my Hayabusa throttle bodies and thought they might work as a ITB on the 4.2 Audi so i went out and laid them up there and it looks like almost perfect spacing
