Hey guys, as you might have noticed in my previous thread - I blew up my S3 engine, so now I am ready to build it again. This time correctly and with rods! Aiming to achieve 300hp+. 350 would be perfect.
I will keep posting updates about my progress in here. To recap, here are the parts I already have on the car:
I will keep posting updates about my progress in here. To recap, here are the parts I already have on the car:
- 3" de-cat downpipe
- 300hp+ rated K04 Hybrid
- Badger5 TIP
- FMIC
- Redone intercooler piping
- K&N panel filter
- 550cc Bosh (or similar) injectors
- 4BAR fuel pressure regulator
- Forged rods (not sure which yet)
- Exhaust manifold (also not sure which yet)
- Walbro 255lph inline fuel pump
- If replacing rods & injectors + I have the S3 cams, do I actually need a new S3 engine? Or can I pick up some other 1.8T engine for cheaper? If so, which?
- What aftermarket exhaust manifolds will keep the same turbo placement spot (so I don't have to re-do the downpipe)?
- Do I want the rifle drilled rods?
- Is there something I missed in the parts list?
- I have the Badger5 TIP, but my car is LHD. The TIP is deformed by brake lines pressing in on it. Should I leave it or just put the smaller sized silicone TIP instead to save myself from potential bigger problems.
