Hi, I am planning to pull my motor-trans soon, just to check things around and put in new clutch. Please suggest what else I should consider checking / replacing, while I am at it. Car has 58K mi. on it and seems to runs well, however I am sure there are common things that need to be addressed once the guts are out.

thanks much!

 

i think the guts are inside the things you're pulling out lol so you can't check much beyond the usual maintenance items eg plugs n coils filters and whatnot. but coolant fittings might be a good thing to look at. i keep hearing about them. i'd give em a good once over even if i wasn't gonna pin/weld or jbweld em

 

+1 on the coolant fittings.

Are you doing the GT2 slave conversion?

-V

 

Slave is nearly new, previous owner got nozzled by some shady cubano shop in Miami for new slave, brake pads (on top of worn out rotors), new front CV boots , oil change, expansion tank, about $3300 total.
I see that some tubing to slave is not in designated guides, so I am sure there will be surprises.
What do I order for the cooling system, any part numbers?
Also, engine mount, are those any good after 60K miles?

Thanks

 

++1 on coolant fittings.

Possible other things to check/address:
1) variocam solenoids bracket
2) coolant reservoir
3) clutch slave/accumulator
4) spark plugs/ignitors
5) boost check valves/recirculation valve
6) fuel filter
7) engine mount
8) tranny mount
9) tranny 2nd gear pop-out preventive mod (8mm ball bearing)

 

I would replace them while its super easy and also cooling reservoir. 02996ttx50 covered most things.

 

Some of it is done, but the rest I will follow, thank you!

 

TeCKis300 got it right on the check valves too. those are OFTEN overlooked. just swapped mine and the n75 car runs MUCH better than before when i thought all was well. had a bad check valve. check em! and they're CHEAP!

 

5) boost check valves/recirculation valve

Are you talking about "Diverter valves"? I have those replaced with aluminum aftermarket kind.

 

Here is what I did. Some of the posts above have been done prior.

those should be fine if you have the forge or evoms. the check valve and n75 are near on top intake, and are cheap to replace. the n75 is a bosch part. i couldn't find the part numbers but i'm still having a first coffee lol. change those they are cheap and they go bad and can/will cause boost/ wastegate issues.

 

Here is my thread everything I did last month https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...uild-time.html

 

Yes, diverter valve and all the other usual suspects that 02996ttx50 mentions. There's also a few other common leaks that can happen at the seal to the throttle body, #9 check valve, etc. Just give her a good ol boost leak test. Should be easily with everything thoroughly accessible. You may want to tie wrap the vacuum tubes that are just pressure fit too.
