One Holset HX35w to hold me off til i get the precision turbo in want
Big bitch...thats a stock 2.0/1.8t TB for size referance...turbo easily weights 20lbs...if not 30 lol
TIGHT FIT...might grab two t3 gaskets and sandwich a extra t3 flange between them....
Of course all this in going on a fully build 8v
JE 83mm 8.5:1 pistons
Scat rods
Ported Head , full valvetrain, cam (might be getting a custom 276 soon)
Snow Performance Stage 3 Water/Methanol Injection....
Man, you live awfully close to me, Quintin. I'm just about 14 miles southwest in Fairfax. This is roughly the set-up I was planning on piecing together. I would love to hear what you used to build up your internals!You seem to have a bulletproof engine going on there. I noticed the year of your car is a 2001(so is mine), does that mean an AEG was used to make these numbers?
I have far too many questions for you... opcorn:
Your build has truely inpired me to go ahead with my own project. :beer:
glad i can help inspire you. It was a LONG road for me and there were time's were i just wanted to say "FK IT" but i didn't i was determined to prove my point. That and i'm just freakin STUBBORN :laugh: But yea this is an AEG/AVG/AZG/BVH block the same as a 1.8t just larger bore and stroke. I have forged rods and pistons and if you're serious about going this far PM me for details/pricing.
I would like to see more about that 8v, that would be insane running that high of boost. How does anything even stay together?
I've heard of people lifting heads with ARP studs on less than 45psi.
i lift the 20v head everytime @ 45psi, and utter waste of the complete motor. how about breaking all 4 Wiseco wristpins at one shot? motor still ran decent, too.
It's possible, but I think Aaron (Richard) is talking about Saphino's car ( from Brazil). Is that the one Aaron, or are you talking about a diffferent car? Last I heard/ saw Saphino was running a 40r. He's not running 75 psi with that turbo, but his setup may have changed. Some of the Brazilian guys do mess with nitro.
OK Aaron, I thought maybe you had a few things mixed-up. I'm guessing Saphino prolly makes ~6-700 whp. His cars weighs something like 1760# (iirc class minimum is 800 kg) and runs on 28" slicks.
ya Mark, i was talkin about Saphinos car.... its 8's, and i got lost in all the translations if it wasnt one of the ~75psi cars.... and pg 3 Saphino goes 8.80.
Very cool list of the best VW but 10 of the list is a GM, the 4 th and 8 th are the same car.
The Luciano Nichetti (#8 car)sold his FWD Scored for Jader Krolow (#6 car) I had talked to a VW 8v engine with 1,078 horsepower, this was when it was the Luciano Nichetti (this car uses VW air transmission - Old Beetle - Fusca). he told us about the 1078 2.1L 8v, i think he means it is the #8 car that was this car....

Sorry to interrupt ur thread bro, but what gap are u running on ur plugs ? Mines misfiring, so i wanna double check if i have the right gap.... Im running bk7re's with .024, is that ideal?
people really did not understand the "8v SON!" sticker on the back windshield....rolling burnouts thru 2nd at 75mph for 1000ft is just something 8v's dont do! :laugh:
my build is almost done... just need an upgraded clutch and a single mass flywheel then its done!! all the engine work is done i just dont want to **** the trans up right away and kick myself in the ass for not upgrading first
i have a clutchmaster fx300...but for my next trans sake and the WANT (note: i did not say need) for more power i'm thinking of the fx600....it's been proven to make the o2j trans shift SOOOO MUCH better.
damn that sir i would have to save up for quite a while to while... being a 19 year old college kid makes it tough! im thinking the dual to single mass flywheel conversion kit from ecs and probably there stage 2 clutch to start. hopefully that will hold up long enough for me to atleast get to enjoy the car a bit and save up some more cash
its not just gonna blow up. The only real issues with it are it needs a lsd as soon as possible (factory diff pin breaks destroying the trans and happens even when stock) and it doesnt like to shift at high rpm which synchros can be modified to fix that issue as well.
ohh **** yeah tons of people have been telling me im going to need an lsd but thats mad expensive so i was hoping to get away without one... sounds like maybe i should heed the advice though
