I already have a ported and polished AEB head With Inconnel exhaust valves from when I did a "drop in rod install". I dunno who can actually just do that.
I think that motor in the last couple three months has been through more pre-install setup & changes than Paris Hiltons been seen in poor quality sexy time vids.
9.5:1 CR. I am all the lowend, and offboost driveability. I live in a hilly area, and downshifting to keep the car spinning at 4000 rpms just to go up a steep incline is for the birds.
huh? I guess if you built the motor all wacky, and didnt match up your turbo to your build.....that would be true.
I am going modest on the turbo. In the end it will be a HTA3076. Now if I was going to a 35R series, then yeah I would build the 2.0 and rev the piss out of it.

I like your style. A lot. I've been wanting to see somebody do a relatively high compression, high displacement build for a while. Are you planning on doing a race gas tune as well as pump or sticking with pump? What are you doing for tuning, maestro 7? Are those 83.5mm pistons?
Sorry for all of the questions, I just love the sounds of this build
I am not sure on the tune yet. If I go Maestro, I will probably make a couple tunes. I think they are just 83mm pistons.
Hopefully this thing will be back together by the end of the month, and I can figure out the tune then. I will still have time since I will run it at low psi until the motor is broken in.
I can blame this on you and your HTA3076 talk Lou... I was like.....I want that, then you went 2.0, I was like....I want that. This envy crap has to stop.
I guess ive never understood increasing stroke, it can become unstable in high rpms where BT's are actually of use.
only if you build it wrong. with all tolerances being good and the RA being balanced well enough he could rev this thing past 8k. not that he'll need to as it sounds like he's building it for a more mid-range powerband. and there isn't anything wrong with that.

So addicting isn't it? lol
looks like you are not cutting corners. This is going to be sick!
So, the machinist called today and said all my work is done. He had to fuse the trigger wheel from my stock crank to the new one since he said they wouldnt just swap over. He had the new keyway notch milled into the end of the crank for my timing pulley. The block was bored and honed with a deck plate, and the rotating assembly from pulley to pressure plate was balanced. He also cleaned and polished my crank.
Hopefully I wont have to deal with the flywheel coming loose and breaking bolts anymore. For a little piece of mind I am still going to run the ARP flywheel bolts, and evertything is getting a healthy shot of loctite.
The damage? In the end I am out $435.oo....."cash or check only". Kinda weird that he doesnt take cards, so I will have to squeeze the cash out my butt and go get my parts.
Anybody in the Pacific Northwest/Greater Seattle area need some Audi/VW work done hit up NW Connecting Rod. They specialize in Audi/VW motors, and will surprise the crap out of you as far as what they just might have sitting on their shelves......stroker cranks already polished ready to install for 150.00 plus core....amongst a ton of other things.
The guys there also seem to have a lot of experience building race/stroker air and watercooled VW motors.

un1ko I dropped your rods off at the shop last night to have the big end bores checked. I didnt want to send you garbage. I am on my way to pick them up along with my thrust washers.
My 2.1 setup uses the same 144x20mm rod, thanks to the custom JE piston.
Cool! Thanks a lot! Just email me the tracking # Thanks!
I might also go with JE pistons, I hear a lot of good things about them. My only concern is, if I need look for special pistons that won't touch any of the oil squirts, mind you that I have a AEB block. I hear that people put spacers under the oil squirts, but I'd prefer not to touch them.
Looks great man can't wait to see this thing running and maybe get a ride if I'm lucky. I think its awsome you went with the bigger stroke for a little more displacement and I'm really happy to see you went with a healthy compression ratio, I hate when people drop it way down there. Its funny I was going to do the drop in rod install as well but decided I love torque too much so I ditched the A4 and picked up an S4 for cheap that needs a new cylinder head. I just pulled the head off last night and was going to start calling some machine shops when I saw your post and decided to give NW a call. Talked to Jerry for awhile and got some things figured out. He's a great guy and really knows his ish, I'll probably be dropping the head off down there early next week so he can get to work on it. Good luck man she should be a beast.
- 00 Nogaro S4 - Single Turbo Project / 01.5 - Silver S4 - Stg. 3 / Five other B5s that have all been sold
Yeah, Jerry is awesome to deal with, and they seem to know their Audi/VW stuff.
I also been looking at S4's lately. They been popping up on CL for cheap in the area alot lately.
I have a few of the rods and pistons installed. I had to take a break since the ragedy ass piston install/ring compressor broke. On a side not I have zero clearance issues with the rods and the block thanks to my 06A block.
