Anthony's (GTRS A4) 1.9l, AEB, 3076R Build Thread

[HTA A4]

Is my clutch going to be able to hold my up-coming setup?

[dirtybrd]

I run the top pf the line SB, sintered copper on both sides with the optional 800lbs on the PP.

[HTA A4]

I just have the OFE Series Stage 4, that has clearly seen better days.

[dirtybrd]

I think mine is a Stage 5+. But it's a little and I emphasize a little, hard for the street. Heavy pedal, grabs low and it's kinda on and off. But only a pussy would complain, or an Old Guy with a bad knee.

[HTA A4]

lol!

If I get a new clutch, I would definitely go Clutch Masters this time. I didn't run into any troubles with my Southbend but I would rather run a puck clutch and everyone seems to that the CM.

[AudiA4_20T]

Shawn, that is easier because the WG is behind the compressor.



I guess what Greg is saying would work but it would still be tough

The one you posted? Most likely not. Esp since you launch the car.

Well... It doesn't matter since your car just sits on jackstands.

Zing!

I'll make it happen

And Anthony, I'm not ignoring you, give me a call tomorrow and we will discuss everything that's came up in the last 24 hrs

[HTA A4]

Nah don't worry about it dude. I saw you were going spear gun fishing or something lol Not a problem! What time should I call you? I work from 11-9 YOUR time tomorrow.

[A4ringedONE8T]

I'll be at the shop from 8 till around noon, whenever you get a chance you know how to get me

[HTA A4]

Sounds good. I'll give you a call on the shop phone around 9 or so your time.


How was your fishing trip? lol

What Greg said might work, but its gonna be a LONG dump tube

[400HPA4]

Longer the better, will not allow cold air back into the turbo to damage the impeller

[mike-2ptzero]

AEG crank is garbage honestly (plus they are getting harder to find, therefore value is going up so to properly do a stroker you should use the FSI crank. At ~$800 bucks depending on the source, the extra 100cc comes at pretty good hit to the wallet. 100cc isn't going to make a noticeable difference in either spool or peak power

Then what is the point of going 1.9 vs 1.8 if that 100cc isn't going to make any difference? lol

[HTA A4]

For extra clearance for the rods, this 100cc isn't going to cost much but the next 100cc is $800.

[mike-2ptzero]

Yeah I understand the cost part, for you guys its just much cheaper to go 1.9 vs adding the extra stroke to get 2.0. For the 058 its not all that more expensive to go 2.0 since the cranks are cheap.


For the dump I would go down and then under the frame with a slight bend to point it back and down. The longer the better so that its harder for air to get sucked back up into the wg.

[Greg@DTH]

I find it funny how everybody is so concerned about Anths build. Some of this energy should but used for those interested to getting their own cars running...

Not calling anybody out, just an observation.

Wait, wouldn't that include you. lol

[Greg@DTH]

My car runs perfectly fine, gets driven hundreds of miles each week...

I sure could use a detail though

[AudiA4_20T]

My car is done

So your South Bend clutch healed itself.

[Greg@DTH]

Car runs perfectly fine, SB clutch just will not handle any torque...not going to bag on SB right now...

I have a ton of maintenance shit to get to next week, all fluids, figure out a intermittent misfire, full detail, repolish wheels, refinish calipers, fix broken seatback, fix broken Bose speaker grill, make new CF pillars, replace peeling window switches and hosing on passenger door, install my new A3 RNS-E knobs.

I am going to have to pay somebody to install my FX850...all of this shit needs to get done while I am home for 9 days, I go under the knife on the 17th of next month...

[HTA A4]

My car is done

Seriously?

[A4ringedONE8T]

My car is done

Aww man, I only got to build 3 or 4 motors and/or turbo setups while you did your one. I was hoping for a 5th

Glad she's almost there but I think "done" is a bit of an overstatement right now

Owned lol

I'm glad I'm not included in that quote.

Extra clearance for rods? What does that mean? Boring the block/honing costs at least 300, and pistons aren't cheap either... That's why I suggested AEB pistons with new rings, but I digress...

[HTA A4]

The block I bought needed to be bored out either way. And I just wanted to have a little more peace of mind that my rods will clear the cylinder walls on the stock stroke. Necessary- probably not. I wanted to do it anyways. But to shell out $800 for another crank didn't seem necessary. Benefits didn't out-weigh costs there for me.

[HTA A4]

Plus, I wanted to use aftermarket pistons anyways.

Rods dont come close to the cylinder wall, if they did on a 1.8 crank the rods would completely hit on a 2.0 crank since the rods would be further out at 90 degs. Going 83mm and lower CR increased volume, that will help with the HTA30 since I dont think you will be maxing that turbo on the street on anything less then 30psi.

[AudiA4_20T]

ha no im kidding

[HTA A4]

I was gonna saayy lol

[AudiA4_20T]

you guys scurred? 250whp here I come

[HTA A4]

lol im shakin in my space boots!

I honestly have no clue what kind of power I'll be making with this setup.
Just hoping for 251AWHP

[AudiA4_20T]

ouch

[dirtybrd]

At least.

[HTA A4]

That was supposed to be a joke lol

But really, back on topic, should I just get a new clutch while I have it out?

[Condo]

Definitely, that's what I did. No need to do the work twice.

Well that is the best time to upgrade.

[AudiA4_20T]

I mean, there are about 1000 things "while your in there..." I hate that shit. Everyone plays on your motor blowing up because you didnt do something
