Default Pictures from TT ATX conversion

Pictures are in chronological order:


The first step was to remove the front bumper, which took awhile because there are so many hidden bolts.


I decided to remove the water housing first, which involved removing the intake piping. I wanted to drain the radiator to avoid making a big mess, but it turned out frivolous since making a mess was inevitable.


Picture of the housing.


The housing removed.


A picture of the n/a front manifold. I also removed the alternator and relocated the compressor to make way for room to remove the n/a oil housing. I then removed both n/a manifolds and replaced them with the tt manifolds and then the turbos.


Picture of the damage at that point. I removed the injectors to replace them with peak and hold TT injectors, which required me to wire resistors for each injector harness since the n/a injectors are saturated. I used ~4.6 ohm resistors for the job.


A picture of the injector harnesses after the resistors were soldered in.


For some reason the idiots at Mitsubishi decided to make the body a little different for n/a cars, so I had to hack at the body to make room for the driver's side intercooler.


After hacking. Unfortunately, I also accidentally hacked into a huge wiring harness, even after double and triple checking to ensure I wasn't cutting into anything else. Apparently it was hidden near the headlight bucket. Pics of the carnage are below.


Ouch. Rewiring will be hard since I made the cut right before the wires split off, so I don't have much wire to work with. But I'll manage with some help from a master electrician (Dad).


For some reason the water line for the front turbo was getting running into the area where my Power Transistor Unit normally sits. To get around this I simply put some slack in the rubber water lines I bought and routed around it.


The conversion also requires you to weld bungs from a tt oil pan onto the n/a pan. The bolt pattern and overall outline is different for the tt pan so it cannot be bolted on directly. Instead of welding the bungs on, I bought a spare return line so I could weld the flanges on instead of buying an entire pan. This picture shows my pretty bottom end and my tt oil housing modified with some Earl's fittings to work with a Derale cooler setup I decided to create (instead of buying the TT oil cooler).


And this is how it sits currently. The person I bought my intercooler pipes from didn't send me one of the intercooler pipes I need so I have to figure out what I'm going to do about that. I need to install the TT fuel pump, the front and rear exhaust fittings/precats, downpipe, tt intake plenum, various vacuum lines, boost gauge, radiator, and ECU before I can start it. I hope to have the majority of it done this Friday so I can start it on Saturday and work out any bugs/leaks. I hope it's all worth it!

Not as angry as I was when I realized the person I bought my front motor mount bracket from only sent me the bottom half, so I had to shell $150 to get the top part from the stealership.

Nice to see this finally coming together for you! Work looks excellent so far.

Tuning with emanage on NA ecu? Or have you worked out the bugs for TT ecu/tcu/piggyback communication?

I am using the TT ECU. I won't have timing pull though. I actually drove my car around on the TT ECU for a few minutes while it was n/a.

LOL, I bet the fuel trims were a little odd on that drive....
