How do you think this will handle on a track day once its done jonny, that going to be a lot of power to rein in on cornering and exit. is it possible to adjust the bias for power a little more to the rear wheels on an S3.
It will be fine, the S3 chassis is very capable, this power should wake it up! Im buying a race haldex controller with switch soon..
Update..So lots of things are happening pretty quickly now, coming along really well..
First of all this little thing arrived yesterday!! Thanks to Neil and Ollie at THS..
Core is rated to 600hp so should be up to the job!!!
First of all the engine build.. Parts are all here now and the head is all built up. Ported and polished and fitted with the new Supertech parts!
Head back from being skimmed, 30 microns were removed, so not much.. At this point the internals of the head had not had any attention!
Before..
About an 1/8 of an inch of build up!! Crazy really..
After..
Check out the inlet ports!!
Before..
And after, you can see a small difference!!
Everyone that has seen the state of the inside of this engine has been shocked. Its got nothing to do with the piston problem that I had. This is just how the 2.0T FSI runs with the stock PCV system, pretty nasty really!!
More bits, stretch bolts, seals, gaskets etc etc etc.. Now the bottom end is all built up, oil pump is back on, everything cleaned up and a new filter!!
Happy about all of the progress on the engine build! Nothing is being left to chance so everything is being replaced.. Not the cheapest way of doing things but I know for sure that im giving the engine the best chance possible of lasting and being strong enough to cope with the power.
Final spec of the engine is as follows..
* Head skim
* Block re-bore & hone to 83MM
* Integrated engineering non-tapered 2.0T FSI connecting rods
* JE 83MM bore 8.5:1 compression forged pistons
* JE pistons rings
* ARP 2000 rod bolts
* Calico coated rod bearings
* Ported and polished inlet / exhaust head
* Supertech stock size inlet and exhaust inconel valves
Turbo is on its way from the states now.. Should have some pics from BSH and a video of there 450WHP GTI running pretty soon.. Apparently the dump tube sounds incredible!!
