Which 3 parts from Issam? Oil adapter valve cover, power steering pump adapter?
I plan on running electric PS (most likely column assist) and I'd really like a Porsche lettered valve cover so I'd probably be out of the combo deal.

I'm looking to piece together things as funds allow me to, and would want a Porsche lettered cover as well when I can afford it, so I'd probably be out of the combo too.

Ok, sorry I wasn't very clear on that. This is why I need help with marketing. :-) As for the Porsche lettered valve cover, iAbed says that is not an option due to legal issues. Maybe we can figure out something where it is sold with a blank spot that an individual could bolt or rivet on whatever letters they choose?

All of the following is included in my proposed Base Kit:

This is iAbed's oil adapter block. It replaces the plastic OE piece with a much more robust piece that doubles as a mounting structure to attach engine mounts to. This will come fully dressed with the needed gasket, fittings, pressure relief valve, and mounting hardware. It also has added ports for feeding oil and water to a turbo, and you can easily mount a sandwich plate to run an external oil cooler.



This is iAbed's valve cover. There will also be a "baffle box" added on the top to improve air/oil separation prior to the catch can hookup. This one has VW Motorsport inscribed on it. Not sure what we would have on our 944 version, but that is up for ideas. Or, like it said above, we could leave a blank spot for individuals to put what they like on it.



These parts are iAbed's power steering pump mount. The 07K Jettas and Rabbits used electric power steering, so this allows you to mount a 1.8T PS pump. The design will be slightly modified by iAbed and myself to fit the 944 application.



This is my driver side engine mount bracket. I have changed the design to fit iAbed's oil adapter block. This will be fully welded, powder coated, and will come complete with all hardware as well as a rubber isolator that sits on the 944 crossmember.


This is my passenger side engine mount design. Again, it will come fully welded and powder coated, and with all hardware and the rubber isolator.

Now that I'm looking at it, the VW Motorsports doesn't look that bad. It would be fitting too, since it is a VW engine. I'm down for a kit in that case.

Yes, these are the parts needed to bolt the engine onto the 944 crossmember, and clear the 944 hood. I think for the build quality and engineering time behind these parts, the price is as good as it's going to get. iAbed's cnc parts are really beautifully done, and mine will be when they're done.

All those parts for $990 is Stupid Cheap! Looking great!

vt951

Will do, thanks

vt951

Ok, got you down for one as well. On the "student payment plan" I assume. No that doesn't really exist...

vt951

Patrick, you know you want this... and with that Gallardo header there should be plenty of room for your steering shaft.

senior_squishy

😂😂 You know me so well Alan!

vt951

How about a smaller logo on the side, like this?

You can count me in on this as well. Will you be offering any further deal to those purchasing the bellhousing along with the kit?

vt951

Great, thank you!

Honestly, there's basically no profit for me in the Base Kit. As I see it, this is a one time deal to get some hardware in the hands of you guys who have been waiting for a while. I intend to price things a la carte in the future. The bellhousings will be priced once I get the cost from Quick Time or another supplier. I will continue to price things as reasonably as I can (expect the bellhousings to be comparable to other Quick Time bellhousing prices you'd see on Jegs). If all goes well and I'm able to ramp up to some level of small series production in the next year or two, then there should hopefully be some profit to make later.
