Not sure what this chap has used on his but on all my cars I give them a spray with tfr and sponge anywhere with dirt build up, hose it off and then spray auto glym instant tyre dressing over it. Shut the bonnet and go for a drive or leave engine to idle so there's some heat circulating and then have a look  :wink: you'll be suprised how fresh it looks

Post by: jhook661 on June 28, 2015, 02:59:53 pm
Yeah it's running 260bhp right now and it was dyno'd @201.04 bhp standard
You can get between 280-300bhp max out of k03 that's why I'm heading for k04  :happy2:

revo intake filter are they the best choice thinking of getting one
did you get camcoat or std
is it too loud what do u think it adds bhp ?

KO4 will go 365 BHP with the wright mods but then fwd
How do u get the power down ?
300 plus need LSD or even better 4WD

i guess thats why people upgrade to mk6 R and mk7 R

I went for camcoat it makes a nice noise when on boost personally
Probably adds between 10-15bhp
I'll be adding a lsd if it doesn't behave it's self  :driver:

Cheers Dave  :happy2:
K03 to k04 is like night and day difference where the k03 spikes quickly but soon Tails off quickly where the k04 will kick in and just keeps on going and going it's rather addictive  :evilgrin: just goes to show you can run a k04 turbo on a axx engine and still be realiable in saying that though I've done all precautionary servicing made sure everything was spot on before going to that level of tuning.

Perfect. That's exactly what I was wondering :happy2:

When I got my K03 "stage 1" mapped that's exactly what I noticed. The car makes a lovely dollop of torquey power between 2K and 5K but then just dies off. Exactly what you'd expect in fairness from such a small turbo :smiley:

But I was surprised when my wife, who's not that bothered about cars, commented that it drives like a modern turbo diesel :laugh: :laugh: Fair play to her she's pretty much bang on :happy2:

What power and torque are you running now Josh?
And, if you don't mind me asking, what do you feel are the most valuable safety/longevity mods when tuning an AXX K04?

I'm gonna follow your earlier advice and get rid of my revision D DV. Think I'm gonna go with the GFB DV+ and be done with it :happy2:

Why change the engine though? For more power later?

My old axx engine had an uncertain past, it was removed at some point and rebuilt and not properly built and since I had a k04 conversion done it was highlighting lots of different things
So to play it safe it was changed and now I can go tte420 now  :evilgrin:

Nice Josh  :happy2:

I think the consensus was drive it quite hard on a new engine,  bed the rings in and stop high oil usage long term

TTE ftw  :happy2:

Post by: pudding on January 31, 2017, 04:37:13 pm
Is that a brand new CDL engine from Audi?  :surprised:  Dare I ask, how much?!!  Will your AXX ecu run it OK?

I've got a TTE420 as well but I've been pondering whether or not I should stick it on my 108K old BYD engine, which also has an uncertain past.

TTE420s see around 300lbft by 3000rpm and up in the 400s by 4000rpm, and holds a good slug of it to the limiter, so well worth doing.

I don't think even a CDL will hold a TTE420 indefinitely though, but it'll be fun whilst it lasts!

Thanks @fab5freddy (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=3064) I've used millers 10w40 running in oil for 30 miles then dropped another lot of running in oil and ran that for 180 miles then changed it for fully synthetic, now to drive it the Crucial miles for wearing in is the first 50 or so, I could see the swarf in the oil when I changed it,
@Pudding (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10733) I'll buy your tte420 if you don't want it  :wink: I can pm the price of the engine..
 I brought it from TPS also the ecu will adapt to the lower compression ratios  and it runs very well except the runner flap delete currently hasn't been mapped out yet..
cheers @ducman77 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7463) brought the engine from tps I didn't want to buy a second hand unit because you don't know what's happened to them  :thinking:

I've PM'd you mate.

The swarf is probably bearing crumbs?  Shouldn't be much piston ring / cylinder dust as the factory do a decent hone job on these.  I really wouldn't advise the aggressive bed in method.  Drive it normally and avoid maximum load, labouring, and maximum revs.  Do lots of over-running too so that the PCV vacuum pulls the rings onto the cylinders for extra bedding in.

I agree.... i think it would make more sense to rebuild the AXX block with forged rods and pistons but a bit too late now though lol

Great results!  I bet that brand new engine feels super smooth and tight  :happy2:

With all that compression, a TTE420 will make 450 easily on your engine!!

325lbft at 3000rpm, and still holding it to 7000rpm.  I guess that answers any questions about how it spools!  Impressive  :happy2:

And yes, my TTE420 is still gathering dust in the cupboard  :grin:

That graph is so smooth. Lots of area under the curve!

And yes, my TTE420 is still gathering dust in the cupboard  :grin:

Is it close to finding it's way out? Or is there no immediate plans to liberate it?

I'll see if there's time to stick it on this summer, but to do it justice I will need a better intercooler and  lift pump, + mapping.   Spiraling costs as always with these cars!

I've also been giving thought to a MK7 R.  Values of these are dropping by the day.  My plan is to restyle and badge it as a GTD to keep thieves away from my house.  Definitely no Lapiz blue action, or 4 stupid tailpipes.  No one has done it that I'm aware of, and makes complete sense to me these days!
