I get call from my service advisor telling me there is no compression on three cylinders and he needs permission to tear down the engine... The next day I get a call...

This had happened...

Consequently... the engine is DONE!!! Apparently the mechanism that would protect the engine in case of a timing belt break failed... Luckily it is under warranty so they ordered a new long block for me...

And because the engine is out of the car... I have decided to order a few new parts :rockin:

Yesterday I headed down to the states to pick up the first two of my new goodies...

and

these

I have dropped both of to Phil and the guys @ Clarkdale Volkswagen (Vancouver, Canada) this morning to begin the fun!

The rest of the toys will be arriving on friday...

The car in question...

TO BE CONTINUED!!!

How many miles??? That belt is shredded bad and good luck with your BT build Bob.G

Thats actually not my belt... just a picture of a broken belt i found...

I think mine already hit the trash

about 35000 miles... give or take a few (50000km's)

timing belt broke... and when that breaks nothing should technically happen... but in this case it did... and timing belts... catastrophic when they do fail...

Interference engine . . . . something will always go bad if the timing belt breaks.

Dave

its true... have witnessed the head get replaced on a b3 16v passat a few times... (not my car... was too young for it to be... )

So today I made my way back down to the good OL US of A to the fine city of Bellingham... To pick up another part at Roger Jobs Audi/VW/Porsche/Jeep? ... They had an R8 parked inside... Also an RS4 outside, a good selection of the new TT-S! :rockin: The injectors from this car... (mine still have the OEM part numbers on them More to come!

What's so funny??? The fact that I got hosed needing to spend $900 on those? I guess all I can do is laugh! Thanks KMD and whoever you got them from! Can't blame you for trying to make a buck!

No you sure can't... but now that the cat is out of the bag... we can all benefit

The "kmd injectors - or so they say" thread sure made for some entertaining reading

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4080220 <-- for those who forgot...

So I picked up the final pieces of the puzzle...

I figure go big or go home right?!

Todd was right of course... the ATP Turbo kit featuring a GT3071R :rockin:

=====
The GT3071R Kit includes:
Garrett Dual Ball Bearing GT3071R turbo
ATP Cast Turbo Manifold
Tial External Wastegate
V Band Downpipe with External Wastegate Recirculation Port
Stainless Oil Feed and Return Lines
Stainless Coolant Feed and Return Lines
Inlet Piping with PCV Port
Intake Option
Connection to work with factory Intercooler
Hardware kit consisting of nuts/bolts/gaskets needed for install
====

Of course dropped the kit off to Phil @ Clarkdale Volkswagen (Vancouver, Canada) for the build to begin... a few other goodies will be coming from a few local shops... (gauges etc) and software of course to get this done right!

Should be fun! Also engine mounts are going to be ordered as well...

Should have a few build shots soon... LSD install should provide for some interesting pictures seeing the guts of a DSG!

Also to come the HPA DSG remap and when its available the clutchpack upgrade (which will allow the car to be tuned for more power!)

Thanks!

They will be interference motors because of 10.5 to 1 CR and overhead valve . Bob.G

Here are some photos of the 2.0TFSI fully apart and awaiting its new horspower!!!

Also dropped off the defi gauges... I have to say that those gauges are definitely the best quality gauges I have ever seen. Everything is controlled by the DEFILINK and the units, senders and accompanying pieces are bomb proof... definitely worth the investment!
Whats really nice is that the DEFILINK can actually log runs as well!

Anyways... more to come soon!

Transmission is out...

Empty Engine Bay...

Old stuff... lacks the nice look of new stuff :lol:

The DSG awaiting some bolts and then it will be pulled apart for the Limited Slip Diff

The new rods attached to the stock pistons waiting to go in!

VF Engine mounts are on order to go in (don't want to have the stock ones break)

More to come!

its true...

BTW... as soon as the track opens... I am chasing you down!!!

you wait your turn MR.! what tune will you be using?

PM'd

Well... our track isn't open until ~april... so you get your chance... but once its open I am ready to stomp on everyone

Will be taking the short drive over to HPA as soon as it hits the road

The Fiscon Mobile Pro Bluetooth kit...

You ask yourself... how does this relate to a BT build... well I will show you...

This system integrates quite well with the RNS 510 (the OEM navi unit...)

and with the OEM MFD

allowing you to send SMS, dial phone numbers, streaming audio from the device etc etc...

AND it adds a few extra practical engine-related displays to the MFD which is how its related to the build!!!!...

Amazing all that info will show up in the MFD... (the gauges are now officially just bling... aside from the EGT gauge...)

I wasn't expecting the arrival of this... but I am pretty stoked about it!! :rockin:

One more new addition...

Tomorrow the BSH True Seal Intake is arriving!

Also the 2.5" to 3" adapter so that it will accurately fit the Turbo inlet as well... (will also give a little more clearance for the WasteGate...)

How it will look (minus the OEM noise pipe...)

Many thanks to Phil@BSH on this one... talked to him over the phone and was able to get the intake out right away!

Also big to Lou for his great review... inspired me to pull the trigger!

P.S. my Neuspeed P-FLO is up for sale... Make me an offer

Sweeeet!

thanks man

should have some new updates early next week...

So Phil et al pulled apart the DSG today... Many many many little parts inside there...

The empty space there is the home of the Diff... and the current Open diff (useless for anything with power) is out and is being replaced by this...

a Quaife Limited Slip Differential specifically made for the DSG... This will for sure help me get in to the mid to low 12's!... I am coming to get you LOU!!!!!

Sorry again for the bad pictures... my SLR is out of my possession so I have to use my blackberry...

This is starting to come together nicely... can't wait to get my ride back... I have now been without it for 5 weeks and the city jetta just isn't doing it for me!

Probably have another update in a few days!!

You better get low 12s or high 11s son!

oh don't worry... I'll do what it takes to get my name high up on that list!!!
