im sent

**Golf 2.0T** · 02-11-2009 07:40 PM

heres some news ...

i received my pistons and rods

stock vs forged

4340 forged rods

stock vs forged

and my KW variant 1 coil over

and heres a few pics of a 2.5 vs 2.0T cylinder head

i was suprised to learn that pretty much the only difference between them is the intake valve ...2.5=32mm , 2.0T=34mm ... exhaust valve both 2.5 and 2.0T are 28mm ... and the ports are roughly the same size

Those housings are soooo sexy

**Vanagon Nut** · 03-12-2009 09:27 PM

Looks like an awesome build. Thanks for posting pics.

Please excuse such a newb question, but will that 2.5 I5 bolt up to a stock Mk3 tranny?

TIA,

Neil.

**Golf 2.0T** · 03-13-2009 06:17 PM

im using a TT tranny ..but yes it will bolt up to a Mk3 tranny sa its the same bolt patern as any 4 cyl

**Vanagon Nut** · 03-14-2009 01:45 AM

Outstanding. Thanks Golf 2.0T

I noticed the Audi rear drive end. Cool beans.

That info might help out some of my fellow Vanagon people. (assuming the engine would fit w/o too much hacking) That I5 looks like it would be a nice balance of fuel efficiency, torque and power.

Neil.

**undercoverdubber** · 04-09-2009 11:51 PM

dumb question, your new cover doesnt need to be reccessed on the inside or anything? How come the oem cover is so high and bulbous?

Sweet project.

**Golf 2.0T** · 04-11-2009 10:45 PM

no its a good question .. 2.5 can have a flat valve cover because of the design of the camshaft bearing assembly wich is , if pay attention to the pics in this thread , is in one flat piece with nothing hanging out so a flat cover will never come in contact with any rotating parts
