Ooooh cool!

[HTA A4]

You DO work fast!

[HTA A4]

Thought of my question! Give me a call whenever you get time Shawn.

[dirtybrd]

Just ask his wife. ZING!!

[A4ringedONE8T]

Funny

and hey Anth, here's the turbo for that other project I was talking to you about last night. Finished the CAD drawings for all the flanges I need for it a few minutes ago and sent them to our machinest. Should have them the end of next week and then I'll be starting on it as well

[A4ringedONE8T]

Thought of my question! Give me a call whenever you get time Shawn.

I'm packing my stuff up and about to haul ass, give me about 20 min and get me on my cell

[HTA A4]

Dayyumm! That's gonna be a badass project for sure! Good luck lol

[RAI Motorsport]

Is that the 6262?

[HTA A4]

In support of a great shop! It's the first draft. I'll be adding more to it to make it a little less "simple looking."



Edit: Look! Everyone is getting their parts in today!

[A4ringedONE8T]

67 wheels in a 62 housing. The full 67 won't fit in the space we are trying to cram it.

lol I can send you our JPEG if you'd rather use our actual logo

[HTA A4]

lol I can send you our JPEG if you'd rather use our actual logo

That would probably work better! But hey, I tried

Forgot to also ask you what else you need me to ship you. Because I'll send out the oil filter housing and oil pan bolts tomorrow.

[dougyfresh]

Well since I ordered 83mm 8.5:1, I would assume they would send me 9:1

You never know. Best to check everything (as you know).

[A4ringedONE8T]

You can't even see the dome in the picture very well, Mike comments on every single piston that someone posts a picture of and always says they are something other than what they are. When I posted the picture I knew he would comment on them. Unless the parts are in your hands so you can come to a proper conclusion I don't know why you would make a comment about something like that.

LOL yes becuase I haven't been using JE pistons(8:1 and 8.5:1) in my own car for 6 years now.

There isn't even a lip so I dont see how there is much of a "dish". Dish goes into the piston while Dome sticks up above.


BTW I have known plenty of people that ended up with JE pistons that had a higher CR then what they ordered, but then I have been around for 9 years.

I will verify just for you Mike

dish/dome, you know what I mean

Hey better to check it now before they go in then to find out they are not what you order after the block has been bored and the pistons are installed.

FYI, getting the intercooler piping to fit is REALLY annoying. It got started on my car, we welded a v-band on the compressor housing, and then a 45 off of it to get a decent angle at it. For the the dumptube, we are going to do what Greg said, but it still REALLY sucks. You need to move the fuel line to the left and bend it around so the dumptube can fit. I am going to have a tab welded on the downpipe maybe even with a flex pipe so this thing can unattach from the downpipe and won't crack

[dirtybrd]

IMHO, V-band is a waste of money, not wonder you keep running low on funds.

Vband on the compressor housing? V-bands are for exhaust only.


So you want to dump it back into the down pipe like 034 has for their "re-route" option for that down pipe?

[Sales@RAI]

no, V-bands are for more than just exhaust, and no I am not dumping it into the downpipe there is just no possible way to do a dump other than running it along the downpipe

[A4ringedONE8T]

There are o-ringed v-bands for charge pipes

[dirtybrd]

Yes, but why waste the money on something that couplers have done for years. Yo have to buy the flanges, have them welded and this also leaves no margin for error. Also how are these hard mounted pipes going to react to engine movement, I would assume not to well.

[Sales@RAI]

there are going to be hoses too to keep the flex, but Ray likes doing it once so it'll last a lifetime. I also am getting a great deal on it too.

[mike-2ptzero]

Those are called a Wiggins clamp, those flex while a Vband does not and they are aluminum not SS. Using SS for a charge pipe is just plain stupid seeing that SS retains heat instead of letting the heat out.

I guess you learn something every day Mike

lol, no I was in no way talking about Wiggins clamps. Aluminum o-ringed v-band flanges have been around for quite some time.

[mike-2ptzero]

I still wouldn't run that vband on the charge pipe since they tend to leak.


BTW the flanges are aluminum and the clamp is still SS. Yeah like those are going to expand at different rates.

[mike-2ptzero]

lol, no I was in no way talking about Wiggins clamps. Aluminum o-ringed v-band flanges have been around for quite some time.

You mean a Viton 0-ring for a vband. Vband still doesn't flex even if it has a 0ring this is why most people go with a Wiggins if they have the money to spend.


So basically all Clint is doing is doing an outlet like a GT42r. yeah like a hose and Tbolt clamp cant handle anything under 40psi. Boy we wonder why its taken him 2 years to do his build.

[A4ringedONE8T]

All 20 valves lapped and ready to install. One more swim in the parts washer to remove any left over lapping compound and its ready for the new seals, springs, retainers

[A4ringedONE8T]

WTF do you think I said ...

Sorry that I left out proper punctuation and made you not understand lol

Aluminum, o-ringed, v-band flanges Better?

And who cars if it has flex if he is using silicones on other places ...

If he is using silicon hoses then what is the point of using a V-band? Sounds like something a show car owner would do.

Lol... its been a year since I drove the car, which isn't long considering how much I've done. Everyone on here is so funny, when you do this much stuff at once it doesn't just plug and play

[siuformula]

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

Re-machining the cylinders also alleviates the stress of 100k miles worth of wear and tear. Over the life of an engine the cylinder walls begin to warp due to the heat cycle that one puts then engine through. The upper cylinder is exposed to more thermal energy than the bottom and thus the roundness and straightness of the cylinder is affected, compression is lost and potential for failure is increased. Boring and honing will relax all of that internal material stress and reshape the cylinders back to round and straight. Bottom line: it’s not about the 100cc gain; it’s about gaining reliability and building a robust motor than can handle the added power.

But that’s just my opinion.

[HTA A4]

That's a good lookin' head! Nice work Shawn!

What should I do with my intake manifold? Just clean it? Or polish it a little?

[siuformula]

Extrude hone it :) $$$$

[B6Lovin]

If he is using silicon hoses then what is the point of using a V-band? Sounds like something a show car owner would do.

maybe because the turbo outlet is an absolute bitch to get to and making sure that one junction has no chance of popping off is worth a little extra money to someone?

I'd do it if I had the money to, i see absolutely nothing wrong with this idea... if you don't think it's needed then fine - don't use it on your car or recommend it... but remember that we do a lot of "extra" things around here for the peace of mind/simplification they offer. this is no different


head is looking good shawn. anth - you must be getting excited lol

Your not exactly telling me something new seeing that I was the first A4 owner to go 2 liter 6 years ago with custom made 83.5mm pistons from JE so they could be used with a 2 liter crank.

Actually the 100cc is about increasing displacement, it isn't like a simple hone and aftermarket 81mm pistons wouldn't have done the same job to increase reliabilty. That extra 2mm isn't going to make it any more reliable but it did increase the displacement.
