iHaul - '84 Caddy / Rabbit Truck with ITB'ed ABF

[Marcski]

figured i'd continue the topic here..

I bought this 1.6 petrol caddy back in 2007:
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/20100123-g96qwts1b61b63n6uuft3yasp9.jpg

drove it for a couple of months, sold it to Stijn, who turbodiesel'd it but sold it in parts later on. He sold the caddy shell to Jaap in dec '08, who put it in storage. I bought it back and just picked it up last weekend:

[Roy 1.6]

Nice rim's :)

[breadfan83]

Ratlook rims, sweet! :D

[CrankWork]

stack exhaust??? whyyyyyyyy? :chair:

[Larsv5]

:thumbup:

[breadfan83]

stack exhaust??? whyyyyyyyy? :chair:

Hoping he means stock, not stack...

[Marcski]

nope, i ment stack.. what the hell, i like it, and when i get bored i can always change it back

[breadfan83]

Oh wait, that was for the Caddy, not the Rocco.

Truckerpipes on a Caddy are cool, Jap-style stacks on a Rocco.... not so. :D

[Marcski]

:d

[Chromosexual]

done yet? what else is there to do in levittown, NL anyways?
:D

[Tjaap]

he just bought a house yesterday and is getting married in september... i think he has stuff to do at the moment

[Chromosexual]

excuses my ass. :D

[Marcski]

look who's talking..

[Chromosexual]

zing! hahahahahahaah :D

[Chromosexual]

Marc, you getting married again? didnt you get married in the USA???

[Marcski]

no, we got engaged :D

[Chromosexual]

i bought a pedalbox and a sprinter intercooler

[Marcski]

the new ABF lump:
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/uWu4h.jpg

it's in such good shape that i'm keeping the motor closed for now.
ordered a bunch of goodies like 02A mounts, shiftrod-conversion, stiffer motormounts, spaghetti and Megasquirt :)

[De Pul]

nice!

[Marcski]

http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/abf017.jpg

:cool:

[knarfmk1]

cool!

[evilnyntje]

Nice wheels (on facebook :)).

:cool:

My brother likes them to and is trying to mount them under his Golf TDi :tongue:

[Marcski]

http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/20100511-megs9undyi6yt89x36x9i4arqe_original.jpg

i'm really anxious to try the 02A shiftrod-conversion

[Tjaap]

moneyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy spent.

[Marcski]

and some 02A mounts

[joostvw]

cool :thumbup:
but what happened to the rusty wheels? I like them.

[Marcski]

still in the garage, 13" is just too small for highway use

[De Pul]

nice stuff:thumbup:

[Marcski]

Nice!
The parts look promising Marc :thumbup:

[Marcski]

moar parts;

25mm adapters for rear axle and g60 brake adapters;
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/20100531-1w2xhfpwuaj71ggufr5y9jp5ga.jpg

megasquirt 2 v3.0 :)
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/20100531-ren1i63ir6esr87cymnmy6857t.jpg

once i clean up the engine-bay in the next couple of weeks i can start building again

[De Pul]

nice:thumbup:
why do you run it on ms?
original management isn't that hard to install?

[Marcski]

i know, but just because i can :D

probably will overhaul the engine later on and install throttle bodies, but the stock ABF is an ideal base to hook up and learn all the ins and outs of MS

[Pedaalemmer]

Nice project! love the rimms!!!!

[De Pul]

aahhh,more horses :thumbup:

[Marcski]

here's where i'm at right now, need to clean and paint the engine bay;

"active fat-arse lowering systems inc."

[Marcski]

you're still not as heavy to get it low enough :D

of course i'm swapping the lowered springs for coilovers later on

[Marcski]

not much progress as i was tuning my bike with a new set of cams, carbs and exhaust..
I did order more stuff like a mechanical clutch and cable, late cabriolet long axle, 4 new cv joints, scirocco 16v brake cilinder

Still doubting which wideband lambda controller i should choose, Innovate, Techedge or Zeitronix..

And i still haven't chosen a colour. I need too, cause i need to paint the engine bay and am probably using Sikkens Yacht Paint, but they're limited to 16 colours and i need to go see them in real life

O yeah, and i need a new right rear light because Alain's neighbor accidently smashed it with his trailer :redface:

[Marco]

what about the colour you mentioned saturday ??

[Marcski]

http://www.sikkensyachtpaint.com/nederlands/kleuren/
i'm still in doubt about dolphin grey, whale grey, pacific and atlantic blue, but i just want to see them in daylight

[knarfmk1]

why do youmuse sikkens yacht paint acctually?

[Marcski]

because i'd rather spend the money on technical stuff than a full respray

[Marcski]

towed the car with Alain to my own garage yesterday. Unfortunately the motorchain slipped off the forkliftspoon and broke the oil sump :(
luckily nothing else got damaged, but these alu sumps are expensive!

http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/20100614-p99e9j6r6xt3ykibuwp5g4jdsd.jpg

[breadfan83]

That sucks, but at least it's an easy fix.

[Marcski]

i did some research and found out Seat Ibiza and Cordoba Cupra's with ABF motors use the same steel pans all early VW bigblocks use
they only hold 0,5L less oil but i'll keep an eye on my oil temp anyway

price difference of 160 euros makes it worth a try ;)

[breadfan83]

So that makes it not only an easy fix but also an affordable one. :thumbup:

[Road Boss]

Wheels look killer!

[hajee]

awesome wheels!

[Marcski]

Damn, been a while since i updated this thread. Haven't done much the last couple of months, but recently started on the enginebay.

picked up a Cabriolet powersteering rack a few weeks back and yesterday some more goodies;
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/qEFss.jpg

i won't update this thread much in the coming months though, i'll let you guys know when it's done :) Soft deadline is wörthersee though

[breadfan83]

Nice quadruple cup-holders!

[Chromosexual]

ready for 'see?

[Marcski]

still working on it...
i have next week off, hope to get some work done

[Marcski]

more stuff bought;

innovate mtx-l wideband lambda controller
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/MTXL_All_Web.jpg

mk1 westy grill
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/20110326-g587n4mi5d7174ekhiape19me4.jpg

16 pieces of 50x20cm damping mats to get the cabin nice and quiet
http://i42.tinypic.com/97upep.jpg

I wanted a silent exhaust for the RDW check, but stock mk1 caddy exhaust is only available in straw-size. Custom stainless is a bit too expensive at the moment, so i bought an ebay Sharan VR6 anlage i can make fit.
Lots of length, 55mm diameter, nice round mufflers and damn cheap.
Doesn't have to last decades anyways..

ordered on wednesday, got here today already!
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/20110401-n41a7wdsexyn9cmcfbbcwh64r3.jpg

[Marcski]

Engine bay is pretty solid underneath the dirt and grime;

http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/2AApO.jpg

still gotta weld the corners behind the struts and some small holes, and it's ready for fresh paint

[Tiefleger]

Nice project :thumbup: :thumbup: and nice gti arches. :D :D

[Marcski]

International, Rene ;)

[RubenD]

Nice work!

[Marcski]

mocked up, abf rail is a tight fit
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/WCnUx.jpg

[RubenD]

Pictures, or it didn't happen ;)

[knarfmk1]

yeah where did the pic go

[J-9A-N]

[RubenD]

Nice!

[Marcski]

oops :)

[Marcski]

http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/h3gfV.jpg

finally got the MTX-L wideband in and sourced a nice front bumper :)

[Marcski]

i just had to try out the wideband :D

http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/xUw3p_949934.jpg

[J-9A-N]

Ha ha ... now you know your bike is running ok!

[Marcski]

Actually it wasn't. Engine was cold and lots of fresh air because i couldn't hold it in but behind, so the reading was changing all the time. At least i know the controller is fast ;)

[Sander]

Nice project Marc. Now get on with it!:)

[Marcski]

bought a new welder and was repairing rusty spots in the enginebay, but slow progress, because i'm busy working on the new website ;)

[marcnr1]

i won't update this thread much in the coming months though, i'll let you guys know when it's done :) Soft deadline is wörthersee though

Can you tell me from what bike this throttle bodies are and what diameter they have?

Mark

[Marcski]

if i remember correctly, '01 GSX750R, tapered from 48 to 42mm at the butterfly

[marcnr1]

thanks

[Marcski]

after a couple of months of inactivity, i started work on the caddy again.
Still derusting and smoothing the engine bay, so nothing interesting to see there.

I did try to fit the westy grill though, and holy shit that thing is big compared to a euro front!

http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/cg2dP.jpg
I do like the look of it with the steel bumper on a caddy though :)

[Tjaap]

show us the update!!!

[Marcski]

bought some new Hella H4's for the westy grill;
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/eec1fb80267411e1a87612313804ec91_7.jpg

and installed an early dash last weekend. Still need to sort out the wiring, but that had to be done anyway, the interior loom already was a mess.

before (but with mk2 gauges):

[Richard]

instagr.am..;).. nice updates Marc!

[Marcski]

Shortened and cleaned up the intake manifold and throttle bodies today, so that the throttles are as close to the intake valves as possible for fast throttle reaction, but still enough room for the injector rail.
Total length is still 290mm though, and according to various sources on the internet the minimum length should be 300mm.
I ordered 4 velocity stacks though, so those will add to the length and therefore add some some low end torque for drivability.

Not yet in the picture, but fortunately bending the tabs on the throttles was enough to account for the wider offset

http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/07172c5e322911e19896123138142014_7.jpg

[De Pul]

lookin' good marc!

[Marcski]

Velocity stacks came in today. They need some modification to fit, but i'll figure something out :)

http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/abf01bae355911e19896123138142014_7.jpg

[De Pul]

that shit looks damn sexy:)

[René]

Nice:)

[Marcski]

can't wait to hear it roar ;)

[De Pul]

can't wait to hear it roar ;)
me too :D :thumbup:

[Marcski]

enginebay in primer (lots of dustspecs because i can only a brush (no compressor) in my dusty garage, and it's still supposed to be a low budget build and i can sand them out. Hate sanding though :redface: )

http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/IMG_0606.jpg

had all the engine bolts zinc plated, really pleased with that! :cool:
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/IMG_0518.jpg

head came back from port and polish, so i put the block back together. Looks great with the vht wrinkle :) i'll take some better pictures when i finish the enginebay and have assembled the rest of the motor

[De Pul]

progress:):)

[Marcski]

yeah, but slow. If only i had more time and money.... ;)

[De Pul]

at least now you got something to look forward to;)

[Tjaap]

nice battery :D

[De Pul]

lookin' great marc,the black gives it a clean mean look.can't wait to hear it in person:cool:

[Marcski]

thanks guys! There's just so much i didn't think of and still have to do, even though putting 16v's in mk1's is something i've done several times. Doing just an ABF swap would have been done in a weekend, overhauling (totally forgot to take pictures when the engineblock was open :redface: ), renewing and improving a lot of stuff is also taking a lot of time, which i don't really have right now. I just want to half ass it right now..

[Marcski]

more goodies came in and got installed
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/ad4637067f3a11e181bd12313817987b_7.jpg
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/e7486c76857f11e1a87612313804ec91_7.jpg

new bearings, painted the G60 brakes, waiting on overhaul kit to come in
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/c2927d56858211e181bd12313817987b_7.jpg

22mm brake master cylinder installed:
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/f4ed096a864a11e1a39b1231381b7ba1_7.jpg

Fitted clutch cable assembly and 02A shift rods. Real %&*# :( to set up though!
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/ff326344862111e1b10e123138105d6b_7.jpg

[De Pul]

more info on that shiftgear please?
never seen before.....

[Marcski]

it's a kit by Grasshopper Drag (Claus von Essen) which uses some mk1 5speed parts and the original shifterbox. Shifts a lot tighter than the 02A cablebox

[superbeast]

Engine bay looks already very nice, what kind of clutch cable are you using and where did you get it from.
if i compare the length of my mk1 o2a clutch cable from htt and yours.
there a big difference in length, yours is longer.
and is the end connected to the gearbox bracket at the end facing towards the rearend of the car.
i also notice that you cut and rewelded the up and down moving lever.
to aling the bended stainless arm with the balljoint connected to the above mentoined lever.

[Marcski]

clutch cable is from a mk2 1300. The lever on the gearboxtower you mean? Yeah, you have to bend that one.

Haven't done much up until this week, was so busy with work, taking trips to Worthersee and the USA and spent more time working on and driving the harley :tongue:

here are some Instagram updates though:

fuelpump, housing and cabriolet axles with new cv joints
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/20120803-gg2bk86gqw7n9ah99gqb9bq823.jpg

g60 brakes installed and bled (leaving the massive rear drum brakes on for now:
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/20120803-rnt6ct28gk8ka9u3ux1b1yjpwp.jpg

Took some Monroe AirMax airshocks with me from a US trip last june.
They're for a Corvette, but work just fine with new bushings;
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/20120803-cyd85f1bds6bsgw31nec64dngy.jpg

Got more stuff done:
Installed fuelpump, filters and lines
routed coolant lines and radiator
installed a Spal fan (original wouldn't fit because i moved the radiator to the right)
Finally found fitting velocity stacks
hooked up vacuum for brakebooster and fuelpressure
lots of small stuff i forgot :D

So this is where i'm at right now:
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/20120803-p6s8r6xnu6187nt2mktdnjme7i.jpg

Still got to make a couple of brackets (coilpack, throttlecable, etc), weld an exhaust system (from the Sharan VR6 parts) and make an engine and interior (84 fusebox to 77 dash) wiring loom.

[De Pul]

i just love it marc.
imo you're fine on the caddy rear drums,they're big as f$ck.
i'm using the same fuelpump on my turbo mk1,not too happy with it,it's so damn noisy.....:(but well,i guess i have to live with that.

[Marcski]

really? I hooked it up to 12v, and mine was really quiet!
I did hang it next to the tank though and in a mk1 foam housing..

[De Pul]

really? I hooked it up to 12v, and mine was really quiet!
I did hang it next to the tank though and in a mk1 foam housing..
mine is under the hood.....maybe that is what generates the problem.it has to suck all the way from the back :tongue: but if it works,it works right?

[Marcski]

yup, i was really surprised how quiet it is. I guess the foam housing damps a lot too

[Marcski]

Took me some time to set up, but made my Megasquirt setup wireless with bluetooth :)

http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/540169_473941012630705_394913471_n.jpg

[DUBbeltje]

nice, nice, nice... keep it up!

[Marcski]

did a preliminary wiring to check everything and it's alive!

NMTsy8O6n20
Runs a little rough on this basemap, but starts up right away and idles smooth!
I think i need a new alternator though, it sounds horrible and is only giving out 13.6V

[Marcski]

I just checked the oil level on the Vento for a little trip to Disneyland tomorrow, and guess what, that 2E has the exact alternator bracket i need to clear the framerail, so i'll be swapping those out next week :tongue:

[vdWal.]

nice marc! i like it :cool:

[DUBbeltje]

Nice.... looking good! :thumbup:

[Audi1981]

Looking verrry good, shame of all the lost photo's ;)

[Marcski]

:redface: Facebook must have deleted them, i'll upload them here later on.

Already switched the alternators though, but took the throttlebodies and manifold off, and gave them to my buddy "MacGyver" to weld up. I wasn't happy with the sawed off stock mani and silicon couplers, it might flex too much when hot. Might be ok if you use carbs, they're forgiving, but injection is just too precise to deal with inlet volume fluctuations.

He called me today his alu welder broke down halfway through :( ,but i'm recovering from dental surgery, so no rush :tongue:

[Marcski]

got my manifold back, before and after:
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/IMG_2794copy.jpg
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/IMG_2959.jpg

and got a rear sliding window shipped :) :)
http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/IMG_2909.JPG

[vdWal.]

Cool! that read window in special

[Heslie]

And, is IT running?
How are the throttle boddies connected to the manifold now youre not using the silicone hoses?

I've got a audi 80 type81 with an ace/9a engine with the original bosch controller with a lot of problems.
I'm thinking to make a switch to ms , but i'm not sure wats the best, carbs or injection, and which parts i need.

Hessel

[Marcski]

I'm actually still working on this, the 2-3 spare hours i have free each month since i started my own business :(

I'll do a big photo-update later, but i damaged a throttlebody last week trying to make a better throttlemechanism (gaspedal throw was really short due to the bike linkage) I already bought and prepared a new set, so i can move on.

Oh, and a bought some new wheels last april in the US, had them refurbished by the Polish Pimp :)

http://www.volksforum.com/albums/files/4/IMG_6979.JPG

[Marcski]

Sometime around feb. 2013, i discovered that the crankshaftbearing was leaking oil, so i had to remove the gearbox. Chose to take the whole engine out, so i could so some other things i wanted to do anyway

http://i.imgur.com/CwBKa07.jpg

Installed a new seal, changed the heat wrap to black (looks much better :)), installed a OEM oilpan instead of the thin aftermarket one and had my flywheel lightened and balanced by Hurricane Racing:

I had to have the adapters and centers machined, and sent them to Peter (RS-Velgen) for refurb and frontmount:

I couldn't find any decent exhaust for the Caddy, so i bought a brand new Jetex Golf 1 setup and welded my own exhaust. I never liked how the original exhaust exits out of the side, so i decided to let i come out the back. Can't wait to hear how it's gonna sound, Jetex is always known for their sound :)

I had a Moto-Lita steering wheel and a quick release hub lying around, so why not try to combine the two;

The wiring was a mess when i bought the Caddy, so instead of fixing it here and there, i decided to pull it all

Wasn't happy with the old coilpack bracket, so i made a new one

New throtttle pickup to give me full pedal throw instead of only 1/3, new brake vacuum lines to clean it all up and new Pipercross filters

Nice work and nice wheels!

All this while, i've also been converting the Caddy to early US Westmoreland Rabbit Truck specifications :)
At first i wanted to keep it a surprise, but i couldn't resist myself when i got the front end mounted and the US bumper with overriders in place :tongue:

Looks sweet especially with the new wheels. Motor is also looking very nice, sober, but clean (Less is more). :D

Not really, with Bolt Action, customer cars and having a kid, i didn't have much time left for my own projects so i spent most of it on the S6 and the Harley.. Maybe this winter, so i can start on the squareback :cool:
