Well Blew my motor...

[tweakmeplz]

To everyone here, 36,000 miles and my motor went boo boo. Now the option is should I sell it or upgrade the new motor internally so it can handle power. I saw that eurospec has a very nice head that can come with upgrade cam and valves and so on. I can also get some racing pistons and rods with racing headgasket. Will that be good then guys? Or is my s**t going to blow up again lol I just need advice if I am going to build this motor!

[Crazy Quattro]

background? What was on the car?

[G_A4]

what and how exactly did it happen? what mods did you have on your car?

[tweakmeplz]

You wouldnt believe that it was just a chip and intake. But if I upgrade it I need to know if I need other things such as oil pump blah blah blah. I think I can get giac to tune it to a bomb turbo as well.

[G_A4]

that is hard to believe. how hard were you driving the car?

[fongaroos]

omg... are you serious?

what chip did you have?!?!

[tweakmeplz]

ahh who cares anyways, it was only at 1.1 bar. I just need to know what to do now. I bet martins might know!

What chip were you running? Exactly how did it blow? Connecting rod? Piston seal? Valve failure? Gasket leak? Cracked head/crank? It would be very helpful to us if you could give us more info.

At 1.1 bar this doesn't sound like a failure due to the boost.

[zemun2]

Sorry to hear that.

[Europrojektz_8E]

yeah what exactly happened? well i say just get a used b5 s4 motor and drop that in, or rebuild the entire engine to handle a lot of boost and get a 2.0 block

Warranty? :)

[HICK]

say what? fishy to me.

[/\G]

BS

[Mark]

What happened?? How blown is it?? Details please??

Ambiguity doesn't aid anyone . . . or should we start placing bets?

[quicksilver_S]

I call BS too, He's avoiding the important questions!!

[shehatezme]

Yea.... so wouldn't warranty cover it?
Chip and Intake can't blow up shit.

[Turbo_Whip]

36 000 miles, why do you want a different engine to swap in?

dont you still have a warranty?

Audi will try till their last dieing breath to void your warranty on an engine replacement. They want to increase their profit margin as much as possible. If they know you have a chip and intake then they are going to point a finger right at them.

No doubt about that. As I was saying though, from a mechanical standpoint, a chip and intake will not blow up an engine. He is screwed either way.

Mechanically YES, a chip and intake will not blow shit up. However, the WRONG chip an the WRONG intake (allowing rocks and foreign objects inside) will... aka "open element/filterless" intake.

[Crazy Quattro]

maybe he Mis-shifted and wont admit it?

[G_A4]

to what. reverse???

[USCAAAA]

My buddy shifted 4th to 3rd at about 110 mph in is 300 hp 330ci when he was high as a kite, dropped his tranny and blew the engine :(

[neoprufrok]

Yeah, my cuz misshifted his S2k from 4 to 3 at 9k rpm.... let's just say bad things happened.

[fongaroos]

ouch.. mis shifting...

sounds REAL PAINFUL!!!

[tweakmeplz]

Lol! I am not avoiding any questions. My engine is replaced with a new one already. I just want to make my car stronger reliable, and how can you mis-shift a tip! Too funny. Anyways I am down to re-build the new engine to handle boost and get the level 10 upgrade on the tranny. Just was asking for some opnions not criticisms and saying its bs! But anyways I guess its always tough to get a solid opnion since no of you guys haven't built your engines internally anyways.

[HICK]

uhhh I think the engine is built to hold some prety decent boost already, not sure what u talkin bout Willis. Whatever. I still say BS. If not then tell us the diagnosis man.

[$teady$upreme]

^^why don't u tell us the truth at the very first...then u won't get any criticisms...moreover, TIP so SKIP it~

[QuattroCoryG]

you must have mis shifted or something man intake and chip wouldnt blow your engine on normal driving.

[audivek]

can you even blow a tip motor? ...

[tweakmeplz]

diagnosis, oil pump is clogged, no oil gets delivered to the crankshaft, no oil, 1 and 2 cylinder frys along with 4 bend valves and a blown head gasket. I would say thats significant and dont dog on tip anything is possible. So cut the crap and the flames and lets coorperate, aren't we all fellow audiziners anyways. Isn't that what its all about to, help people build their rides?

If he goes with a 2.0 block he will have to run his stock turbo at no more then 10psi. Even the stage 3 and PES kits are too small for the 2.0 liter. I ran a K04 on my 2.0 liter to break it in and I was boosting 7psi while just revving out of gear. Now if you like a setup that will give you K04 tq with peak hp at 5500 then go for the 2.0 liter with a stage 3 or PES kit other wise it will needs something larger.

Well you can call up dynamic racing solutions to see if they will build you a new motor or you can just buy some 82.5mm JE pistons and bore it out to fit those. It would be a good time to drop the compression from 9.3:1 down to 9.0:1 or even 8.5:1.

I agree, but we were just asking you to clarify the situation. It would be more constructive to the forum if you had stated the problem ahead of time, so we could figure out why we got here in the first place.

The oil pump clogging has nothing to do with the chip most likely. It sounds like oil pump failure which seems to have happened to more than a few B6ers.

Exactly! It happened to me a couple of months ago. AoA should be responsable for it. Since the oil pump failure is a manufactor defect. Regardless of having ur car chipped or not.

[fongaroos]

how do you know if your oil pump is not performing up to par?

[mcpath]

well, I have now heard stories of oil pump, water pump, and fuel pumps going bad. Seriously I know it just few cases out however many sold but how can you tell if going bad. for reference.

[Mark]

What year was your car . . . 2002's are notorious for oil pump failures.
