Jonnyc's MK5 ED30 Build Thread..

[Hurdy]

It would probably be cheaper to buy the new Golf R and swap the turbo

Yup, I do really quite like the MK6 actually.. I would rather drop a TFSI into a MK6 GTI though and go from there.. 

Sounds good to me

That 'Rocco R will be the way forward, not the Golf R, mark my words!

Love than manifold BTW, proper GT40 'basket of snakes' style!

For sure.. Scirocco R is a nice car, could certainly be an option in the future..

haha carls on the look out for a k04, lol

ive got dans from brisky on the way soon

Yeah but not for what you think I want the K04 for

2.0T FSI K04 Go-ped? 

[vRS Carl]

2.0T FSI K04 Go-ped? 

Nope a Skateboard 

No i have an idea which if it works I reckon will impress even you 

Also I don't think K04 stage 3 software would be wise for a converted Octavia vRS

I'm thinking bent rods etc due to too much power. I have a Sachs clutch and flywheel in mine so I could handle the torque. But standard forget it. Plus I don't think the BWA internals would cope with K04 stage 3

Sounds very interesting, looking forward to it 

K04 conversion with Stage 3 Revo is no problem for the rods at all! Look how many ED30 / S3 / Cupra's there are out there running with Stage 2+ (same map essentially) Hell, im running 22psi at 7700rpm with a 3076R on stock block!  

Revo have been running their own TT with a K04 conversion for a long time now, and that thing has been driven on numerous track and 1/4 mile days, very hard, with far more boost than the stock Stage 3 file.. Still zero problems..  

[vRS Carl]

Hmm I did wonder if it was all hype.

That may have changed plans slightly then but will have to wait till after I get married.

I'd lose my bollox if I did it beforehand 

What power/torque is the TiT running? And is it purely a K04 conversion (turbo injectors relocated dv and gaskets/seals) or has it had more done to it?

Ha.. Best do then 

RS4 injectors, K04 ED30 turbo and manifold, DV relocation, Milltek turbo back, ITG intake, HPFP etc etc.. So basically a full bolt on K04.. Yeahh dont worry, I mean, yeah you can throw a rod with a K04, hell.. You could do one with a K03, but thats on sh*tty tunes with excessive timing, huge EGT's and so everything runs hot, and things will break..

There is a HUGE amount of different areas that need to be considered before just saying (as many do) that the 2.0T FSI block in standard form is only good for 350WHP..

[vRS Carl]

350WHP would do me just fine as that about 400-420 at the flywheel 

Coupled with a diff brilliant

3071 will see that power running 1.60 ish bar boost.. Do it 

[vRS Carl]

3071 will see that power running 1.60 ish bar boost.. Do it 

Nah.

My plan with K04 if it works will suffice. If not maxxed K04 conversion should do

You can't fit two in there lol.. Yeah maxed out K04 you will see 310WHP give or take.. With the supporting mods it makes for a lovely car! 

[Janner_Sy]

carl what is it you have read or heard that makes you think you could damage you engine. im yet to see a bad report?

[vRS Carl]

My thinking was if the engine was ok as is in BWA/AXX etc form then why did VAG change the internals and strengthen the bottom end for the K04 engines? There must be some reason behind it. After all they are a buisness and why pay more for development and parts if the engine they already have is fine?
