Looks like an amazing build, and really nice looking car man. Will be following this.

[All_Euro]

on the 83.5 bore.

[Big_Tom]

[Dave926]

No ****ing around with a parts list like that

[Gonzo@GonzoTuning]

[DUBBED-OUT]

It seem like you copied wish list...

NICEEE!

[David_Tedder]

just like tom said to me , "blowing money fast!"

great choice on parts all round pal

its going to turn out real nice

[l88m22vette]

More clutch info please! As for entire project:

[AmIdYfReAk]

on the 83.5 bore.

Holy****... i had to read that twice....

Someone is confident on German metal enough to go with paper thin cyl walls... Good on ya

[Vegeta Gti]

love my fx400

make sure to do a good thorough break in on everything. i did motor build, diff, clutch, etc all at once. very specific break in procedure and it was perfect.

happy building

I love builds

[screwball]

I need this in a B5 Avant! Definitely going with Arnold for an Audi build once my GTI is sold or parted out.

Looking forward to seeing updates on how that turbo does.

I appreciate that, it has been a lot of work

Thank you

yeah I definately broke my initial budget, hopefully the outcome is amazing

great pic, honestly I have never had an fx400, I purchased it after research and reading reviews...I will write a review after the break in and let you know how it goes

hopefully that desicion does not come back to haunt me

actually if you do not mind giving me a little info on this I would appreciate it, I am aware of normal break in procedures, but figured adding my dif and clutch break in into the mix at the same time complicates the process

I am more than pleased with the quality of the parts I recieved from him and am very excited to see how his new billet wheel performs

Did you get the street version? I have a local guy running a GTX3071R on it with my tune and 30psi and it works great. It actually feels very stock like, too. I love it.

[Gulfstream]

I have FX400 6 puck as well and honestly can't fail it. Couldn't be happier

[T-Boy]

Nice build...can't wait to see the outcome.

30psi! that has got to be a fun car, that is what i had been reading that it should have a somewhat stock feel...Iam assuming when you ask street version you mean 6 or 4 puck, so I would say yes I have the street version with the 6 puck

that is good to hear, I had been reading a bunch of the reviews and that was the general theme thanks for the added input it is added peace of mind

you and me both

Yes its the 6 puck version. Its really great.
Its a fun turbo but you outgrow it quick (depending on who you talk to).

[87vr6]

Pretty close to my build, except I have the .72 GTX3076... Check it out in my link...

And I love driving that FX400 in my 20th

outgrow!? hopefully that does not happen to me, at least for awhile

haha, that is awesome, they are very similar except a few things...although that pallet that you had shipped in makes a huge difference between the two

watching this thread

Still waiting for the machine shop to finish my block/head, I will be going in on Monday to hopefully get some good news that it is near completion...

Got my big port phenolic spacer as well as the tb adapter plate thanks to INA





also received my 42dd pillar pod



and my aem gauge

[87vr6]

Yes it does, doesn't it?? Well, there, it's a very welcome difference. Looking forward to seeing yours progress.

[Cryser]

I'm wondering why your Manifold has my last name on it? ROFL

interestingly enough I just got my 72ar GT3071r and new head on and in my car, buttoning everything up tomorrow then doing some PVC mock up for my new hot side piping then I'll be ordering up some pipe bends and couplers to finally get this damn thing running!

Looks good so far! Very interested to see how the billet wheel works with the 72 ar! I unfortunately just got a regular wheel as I couldn't spring for both the 72ar and the wheel

Yes, and I shall be looking forward to your conversion

I coud not find a build thread on your setup...what are your specs? as for the manifold I have no idea, I guess I stole your manifold

[Cryser]

I don't have a build thread, Im horrible at taking pictures mid project. Once I jump into something and the gears start turning in my head I just keep going. Hell people have to remind me to eat when I'm working on cars or especially tuning I just lose track of time

2.0 Stroker from Arnold
Balanced rods and pistons to within 0.5 gram of each other
Blueprinted the block, decked the block
Cnc ported the block for the 83mm pistons
Balanced AEG crank to within 0.1 gram on both sides
Fluidampr w/ IE crank bolt
Coated calico bearings for rods and crank
Full ARP hardware all around the block
IE stroker headgasket
Blueprinted AEB head decked the head
Shimmed valves where needed with supertech .030 shims from IE
Supertech valve train, valves, springs(dual exhaust springs, single intake) Ti retainers,
Recut all the valve seats with a 3angle + radius cutter
Deshrouded all the valves, vacuum tested to all hold at least 18inHG
Port matched the Exhaust ports
Stock lifters and Cams
IE manual tensioner
Gates kevlar timing belt
I have an adjustable cat cams cam gear but I didn't like the tiny bent roller pin they try to pass off as a keyway so I am using the stock cam gear

PagParts 71R V-Banded kit with .72 AR housing, cast wheel
S4 MAF once I have the money for it
550cc injectors @ 4bar static fuel pressure
APR in tank Fuel pump feeding a bosch 044 inline pump
All self tuned on Maestro

My community college has a blueprinting and machining class where I learned to do all work and performed all the work myself, kinda snowballed in all the listed after I opened up the engine and realized how much better parts you can get for "just a little more"

That is a fantastic spec list, it really is a shame you did not make a build thread for that! Our builds are similar it will be interesting to see what the billet vs. cast wheel shows, what intake mani are you planning on running? it seems you and I are planning on the same injectors at 4bar do you have the EV14 as well? I'm still debating if I should make the jump to 8xx cc or stay with these, I am just unsure whether they will be enough or not

[04 GLI Luva]

Static fuel pressure interesting

Yeah I'm thinking I'm gonna be RIGHT on the line with the 550cc might have to go up to the new Genesis II 630cc @ 4bar or see about reworking the stock fuel lines to handle 5bar. yeah EV14's for me and for intake manifold I'm running stock right now, going to most likely a driver side big port one in the future. Probably a 034 or IE one, depends on funds and such

Static fuel pressure interesting

by static I meant a base pressure, it will be rising with boost as normal

What do you mean tweak the stock lines to handle 4 BAR base pressure? That's no big deal. I think you're set to go!

yeah 4 bar is fine, but I remember talking to scott from USRT about running 5 bar stock pressure and him saying something about the stock lines because restrictive at that pressure + 25 PSi of boost, gotta see if I still have the E-mail

I was talking to the guy at my local speed shop about this and I don't see you running into a flow problem. The stock lines are equivalent to -5AN, which can flow just fine. However, I'm wondering if running these high fuel pressures are safe on the type of connections.

5 BAR = 72.5 PSI
Then let's say you're tossing in 30 pounds of boost...that brings us to 102.5 PSI
Then let's say you have 5 PSI of losses in the stock lines... that brings us up to 107.5 PSI fuel pressure. That's 7.4 BAR fuel pressure.

That's a lot of pressure!!

I don't think I would trust the factory Bundy clamps at those pressures.

[Gulfstream]

Also look at your fuel pump flow at 7 bar. Thats why I stick with 3 bar base pressure and up injector size instead.
