Its good to be different...A build thread

[GLIguy85]

the block was sent off to get honed and cleaned today, should be back next week and we can start assembly!

[GLIguy85]

IM shaft is off to be lightened and balanced along with a gasket to make a fancy flange for a 3L big turbo diesel benz project.


SAFTEY THIRD!

[vento86]

What's safety?

[syracusegli]

I WANT THAT WAGON! damn

[Cushy]

definitly digging the 20\20. Sound clips are a must.

hehe, only in NH.

[GLIguy85]

valid point haha

[GLIguy85]

Here is a shot of the header. simple and it works!

[GLIguy85]

IM shaft is here and it looks gorgeous thanks to jarod@SCCH
also the block has been re-honed, washed and wire brushed. assembly will start next week as soon as the chassis and wiring is sorted out!

Its getting closer to running again!

[deathhare.]

Header looks good.

[OLD-GTI]

hehe, only in nh.

live free or die!!!!

[simon_C]

live free or die!!!!

not to derail the thread, but the scene here is somethin' else. some weird and cool isht comes out of this state.

[Vegeta Gti]

i miss the east coast :|

but not enough to move back lol


this project is moving along, lovin it!!

oh I know...I'm a massh0le...I see it all.

[etta gli]

That is one hell of an engine Good luck breaking 200

just a question here. whynot ceramic coat that header instead of wrapping it?

[gtidaddy]

watching this project. love NA stuff.

I dunno, cost maybe?

[GLIguy85]

cost to benefit. maybe down the road i will ceramic coat the header but for now, the wrap will do just fine

[Issam Abed]

i have tried in the past to find more info on that build with no luck. i do know that it is also a 1.8l so i shouldn't be too far off the 200whp mark. its going to come down to tuning

What information are you looking for? We have 6 of those F3 motors here.

• 06A Block
• 14:1 CR 8V pistons
• 92.8mm stroke crankshaft
• Solid lifter cylinder head with 42mm intake & 36mm exhaust

Not 200whp but close.

Jarod, you are the man.

Crank looks really good but are you not worried it will bend under that CR?

[GLIguy85]

why would it bend? or how? the crank is balanced and its still fairly meaty. it only has 6.5lb or something like that taken off.

and the information i was looking for was on eurosports 20v carb build. last year when i first built this motor i couldn't find anything on it

[GLIguy85]

todays progress..



oil cooler...

IM shaft by jarod@SCCH


the block all nice and painted

[Nashty Rabbit]

I will go broke reaching that goal, but i will be broke and happy

take care,

The 2 knife edged ABA cranks we used in stroker AEB builds were 0.004" out of wack . Thats why I stopped using knife edged crankshafts.
Maybe others can chime in but I have not read very much success stories where lightening cranks are concerned.

watching and learning

do you think there was added stress to yours being that they were boosted? I personally have not heard any horror stories but i know that you are far more experienced in these matters. we will see how she does i guess

[thatcrazylaxdude]

Loving this.

I've been gathering parts for something similar for a while now, just need to bite the bullet and start the build.

wasnot trying to bash just asking. on the fence with the same decision.

[gtidaddy]

more pic please.

[GLIguy85]

more pics will come! got some fancy suspension bits today amongst other things.

this week the engine will be assembled. then all that needs to be done is a bit of fab work and wiring

Hey Sam, Jarod here From SCCH you remember me. I would be interested in know the specific applications these cranks were used in,Also the .004" run out, Where exactly was this measurement take? snout to tail on the crank, one bearing?
It would just be good to elaborate on some of these issues As I have done well over 60 cranks now some in NA application and some in Big turbo applications Making over 400WHP and have not gotten any negative feedback on them.
Naturally you want to start with a good forged crank just like the one Kyle is going to use in his car but I am just interested in the specifics of the afor mentioned failures.

Krom,
How are you doing? The (2) Cranks were in stroked AEB motors so starting off with ABA cores to start. The measurement was taken flywheel hub to crankshaft snout so yes snout to tail. If you have had success with knife edging them then all the power to you. You know I have recommend your work in the past so once you can warranty it then there should be no issues.

Sam I was more interested in the methodology in the measuring system on those bent cranks,.004" snout to tail is nothing if you are simply measuring off of the snout and to the tail as there are machining discrepancies and if it's on a Diameter were only talking .002 run out" .Normally If I thought there was the potential for a crank being bent,which is pretty rare on a forged unit unless I guess a main cap came off... I would set the crank up on pair of V blocks on the outer most main bearing journals then use an indicator down the line. It's an arduous task but sometime necessary.

Either way you know the drill.
Talk to you later.
