My car doesnt exist.. ( to soon?)

Your wheels dont exist

i dont know what you were thinking

and my wheels do exist

[iMod.:R]

ABT; You don't have a car...

DM9; You don't have wheels...

ME; I don't got neither...

So I just got word that my new tubular manifold is done! Have not seen it yet, maybe later this morning but its supposedly is absolutely insane looking and super torquey. Its unlike the WOA or any of the cast ones out there. Full blown game changer steez. Excited!

Who is making the intake manifold for you?

[iMod.:R]

Who is making the intake manifold for you?

A new fabricator that BSH/PR is using. It will be the replacement of the WOA (Work Of Art) manifold that they no longer produce. I'll post up teaser pics as soon as I get the chance.

So the answer is that this is the fuel pressure regulator on Howie's (HE Performance) Stage 2 manifold. This is the key, the heart if you will to the entire system. Ultimately we are designing a fueling solution that will allow the car to run 8 RS4 injectors and 4 AEM nozzles (direct port style) for WMI.


The beauty of this beast in overview mode.

I was just reading on the HPFP Upgrade website that they're selling Audi S3 injectors now because of trouble that was had with cold starts, not as good flow pattern, and lower volume from the RS4 injectors. I know you'll have the Okada Ignition parts to deal with cold starts, but what do you think of the rest of that, i:Mod?

[iMod.:R]

YES.

Hi Ben. So since that last post somethings have changed. We are no longer running 8 RS4 injectors because the fueling we need for now can be satisfied with 4 RS4 injectors and the secondary set will be the stockies if its deemed as needed. The HPFP Upgrade will work for our flow needs plus we will have 4 direct port meth injectors running off the AEM system. The plan is that the Okada Projects coils will combat cold start as well as spark amplification. Did that help?

Yup, that makes sense. It's interesting that you moved back to the stock R injectors, it gives me some hope and might save me some money down the line. But when you say "the fueling we need for now", what horse power limit or other limit is "now" going up to?

I wonder because at some point down the line I plan to take a few pointers from your build and go after a daily driver with some smack to it, but I won't be getting up into the 600awhp range. I'd be happy with 400-450awhp, so I wonder how far I really need to go with your mods compared to you? And on that note, I really like the side engine mounts for BFI, I've liked them since I followed your TTS build, but I was wondering about the difference between Stage 1(yellow) and Stage 2(green)? Becasue if I'm shooting for a lower AWHP, similar to what you had on the Audi, would I need that kind of stiffness? Would it benefit me? Would there be much difference in felt vibration? I know those are all subjective, but I'd love to hear your opinion


Now on another note to everyone, I saw these two pieces on another website called Kmdtuning.com and thought that I had never seen them before in this or any other threads on R builds.

I've seen side engine mounts, transmission mounts, and dog-bones, but never a Front and Rear Engine Mount upgrades. So please tell me what you all think, if you've moved on them, if it's necessary (compared to the side and trany ones), or if you've seen them by another company?

[xht20]

Those engine mounts are not for our engine: 2.0TFSI.

Ben-
Thats cool that you know about my old build and better yet that it gave you good ideas to go off of. As far as the injectors we are using the RS4 injectors as the primaries. If we run a secondary set it will just be the stock ones. We are going to spend quite a bit of time on the fueling of this build. Thats whey we went with the USP Motorsports stage 3 BT aux pump:

[USP Motorsports Stage3 BT pump]

We are also using the HPFP Upgrade stage 2 pump:

[HPFP Upgrade Stage 2 BT pump]


On the Golf R build I wanted to try out Black Forest Industries new tranny mount as part of the new kit they offer. They do them as stage 1 or stage 2. On the TTS I thought they only made the car feel slightly more rigid and "connected", which I really liked. The reason for Stage 2 on the Golf R is that 600hp which is still the ultimate goal, is one hell of a torquey figure and I want that engine to be as healthy and solid as possible considering thats where most of my money in this build is tied up. Make sense? I think you'd do good with the Stage1 (yellow) set up.

They are super sick! Check the link below:

Hope this helps Ben. Its been a long complex road on this one!

NOTES FROM THE ROAD: ch.18

Still in Phoenix mostly filming for the PRJCT.:R chronicles series for VW Vortex following the build of this car.

Number 18 in these installments of NFTR is an update on some of the supporting components for the actual engine.


This is some roadtrip food that I kindly passed on. I mean seriously broham, wtf is really going on? Yuck!




God how I love this thing! PT5858 in full effect




ARP hardware is going in EVERYWHERE on this build. Please excuse the filthy stock pistons those lil breezys are gone now. Pics soon and much love to the guys at RS Worx for making a killy Rods and pistons set up. Ask Johnny about how rad RS Worx is, he knows whats up!




Black Forest Industries motor side mount looking all stage 2 perfecto.




Another closer shot of the BFI engine side mount.




Shot of the beautifully crafted new BFI tranny side mount.






*Next up is the engine internals, thats a damn promise...

That was great to hear how you feel about the mounts, iMod. So I'll be leaning towards the Stage 1s when the time comes, but I'll still be waiting to hear how those nice looking Stages 2s feel :-D

As for the USP pump, I actually didn't know that the Golf R had a LPFP to begin with, I thought it was just part of your approach. I read over the USP site and I guess given the range I'd like to put my to-be Golf R in, 400-450awhp, I'll be needing to get one too. See, isn't this thread great?!

Now, on with the development pictures and the webisodes!

[xht20]

Ben-M, if you want 450awhp, you will need the pump from USP

Ben, my buddy KP "BSHR" is running a stage 2 R and it feels stupid powerful! His is a great car and I can attest to that fact first hand. Especially with the PR intake which is the juice!

TEFFsta' as always, you are correct sir. The USP Motorsports low aux pump is a must have if you are looking to crack the 450 HP mark.

car's looking good. i lost your email address when i came back from wuste but i heard i just missed ur last visit to phx. just picked up an r so ill be around more often

[Ben-M]

thanks for helping me find the right answers for what to do with the R, guys.

And how about what's new, iMod? I've been really wondering about this car and especially your webisodes, and ETAs?

[iMod.:R]

Which one is yours? Was it that CSG 2-door I saw at the coffee shop off 3rd? Either way I am heading back out there soonish so we should all meet up then. Are you in touch with KP at BSH/PR?

I have been unable to start the series because of all the hold ups with the build out on the car. Right now the manifold has been the source of many challenges. Its being built from scratch and there finally appears to be an end in sight because of a new fabricator taking over where the jackass that started the build of this tubular (sidewinder design) piece left off. So it's headed towards a better place now.

NOTES FROM THE ROAD: ch.19

The beast is all up on the Phoenix set still. Some things are going down and some stuff is happenin' so let me make you privy if it excites and potentially will titillates your happy spot, bro.

Number 19 in these installments of NFTR is all about getting this thing from "pile to smile".


I'll hand it to Arizona. Some of the most spectacular instaclam-worthy sunsets and cloud formations I've ever seen. This was on the way in along Highway 10 outside of Quartzsite.




Ultrafugged.



It was pretty rad running into this random Golf R at Lola Coffee Bar, which I frequented in the downtown area. Saw it twice and missed my own whip something awful.



Hell yeah! Tossing on a set of salvaged all aluminum TT LCAs with the adjustable ball joint. AKA, camber love!



Stopping by the fabricators place I was lucky to see a big batch of the PR (Phoenix Rising) Colder Air Intakes being built. This is a shot through a BSH emblem plate to the main tube section in raw and unpolished form.




*Next up is the Stabila Street sway bar and some other thing...

[Dutchmastr9]

i feel for you bro, you must be going stir crazy being without your car for this long. maybe one day...

i used to have the bagged mk6. just picked up a rising blue 2 dr. parts have already been ordered and im at the shop at least twice a week now shootin tha shxt.

hey at least your gonna have a very fast very low mileage R when your done.

Wow, that blows, but is good to hear the good news side of it. I figured that the progress had slowed just because, that's too bad to hear things went sideways with one of your builders. I know there's too many variables to account for, but is there any kind of ETA you could give for a hopeful completion date? Christmas?

that exact one just started grabbing parts from bsh this week

The car MUST be at SEMA as I have made a few promises, so I will be lighting a giant fire under the ass of this project ASAFP!

Hell yeah man! Congrats. We'll hang out when I get out there in a few weeks if you are around.
