    jonan's build thread

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    i keep jacking other people's threads so i figured it would be best to start my own to ask any questions i'm going to have...

    anyway, after having my k04 for less than a month, i got bored with it and ordered a gt2860rs...in order to future proof my motor in the event i get bored of the gtrs, i have the following parts on order:

    • IE drop in rods w/ rifle drilling
    • IE billet press fit timing gear
    • fluidampr crank pulley
    • new oil pump, chain, and pickup tube
    • all gaskets from bottom of motor to top
    • IE/ARP fastener kit - ULTIMATE
    • goetze OE piston ring set
    • mahle/vandervell race bearings
    • JHM stage III lwsmfw RS4 clutch kit
    • ferrea valve springs, retainers, exhaust vales, and intake valves
    • IE valve guides
    • APR exhaust manifold
    • T25 housing for GTRS to use with APR exhaust manifold (CANCELLED,spoke with 034 and they are going to source me a full frame GT2860RS and refund the difference on the eliminator kit)
    • bosch 550cc injectors
    • 034 TIP with 2.5" inlet and 2.75" MAF
    • motoza tune

    tools i need to order:

    • piston ring compressors
    • piston ring pliers
    • piston ring file
    • motor lift and stand
    • feeler gauges/plastigauge
    • possibly tools for a valve job

    i'm also considering replacing the cam chain tensioner, but i haven't had any problems with it...i just dropped a shit ton of money on parts so now i'm starting to get a bit cost conscious after looking at my amex bill ...i may just take care of that when it actually starts to fail...

    before i swap the t25 housing onto the eliminator, i'm going to send it, along with the APR exhaust manifold, to jethot and get ceramic coated with a gun metal top coat to match the gun metal powder coat i did to the intake manifold and 034 coilpack cover a few years ago...i plan on covering the hotside with a PTP turbo blanket once it is installed...

    i spoke with motoza and they said they could adjust the dwell time to match the r8 coilpacks i've been using the past few weeks...which is good because my car doesn't like them sometimes during cold morning startups...i can feel the misfires occasionally during a cold startup or a prolonged idle even with the motor at operating temps...

    once all this shit is installed, the only thing left for me to do is have the car paint corrected and respayed...i'm still toying with the idea of doing the rod and valve install myself, or just installing the rods and having a shop somewhere here in austin, tx do the head, or just say fuk it and have a shop do it all...

    i'm pretty much 99% sure that i'm going to do the rods on my own though and plan on taking tons of pictures as my parts begin to trickle in and during the install...i've read through the bentley and haynes manual and feel i can do the rods on my own, but not sure how much more difficult a valve job is since i bought the valves on impulse today and haven't research how it is done at all...i actually bought the video jazzpur made for 1.8t drop in rod installs and after watching it feel totally comfortable doing this on my own...

    going to use this thread to ask questions and get advice as i make progress...so please critique my build plans, parts selection and so forth because this is really uncharted territory for me...currently have ~165k on the stock motor and would like to last another 200k+ since this is my daily...

    would you guys touch the cam seals, rear main seal or crankshaft seal? mine aren't leaking and have ~165k on them...

    i'm going to have the housing ceramic coated by jet hot so i don't have to worry about condensation under the turbo blanket ruining the housing...i'll let you know how it holds up and posts pics as well...

    just got my APR exhaust manifold in the mail (thanks wet0willy01!)...

    opened the box, fondled it a bit, then sealed it right back up and sent it to jet hot to get the ultra extreme ceramic coating in titanium (closest color i could find to the existing gun metal powder coating i had done to the intake manifold)

    pics for color reference:





    once i get my gt2860rs in the mail, i'm gonna remove the housing and send it off to get the same treatment (i think they only coat the outside of turbo housings tho)

    Make sure you order manifold to turbo studs directly from APR if they didnt come with the manifold. they are not cheap (80-100) but the manifold doesnt play nice with other aftermarket studs.

    thanks for the tip, wet0willy01 was kinda enough to include the studs...can i use a regular t25 manifold to exhaust housing gasket or do i need a special APR gasket?

    they are technically supposed to be changed with each swap. if his are new then you are good. If they were used examine them closely. i think gasket you can just grab from atp or whatever.

    They were random studs that were in it from the previous owner. Not sure what they are.

    so my torque wrench came in today and the smallest measurement is 10ft/lb...i noticed there are some bolts that are 7.5ft/lb and the micrometer torque wrenches that can actually measure under 10ft/lb are fuking money ($500 plus)...

    how are you guys measuring the torque values on the bolts that keep the cam caps on cause the bentley manual says 7.5ft/lb on those which is below the minimum value my larger torque wrench can reliably measure...

    here's a link to the torque wrench i purchased on amazon...

    An in/lb torque wrench is right up your ally. You just need to do some math to get your torque value in ft/lbs.

    ahhh, i'm an idiot, amazon sells a tekton 1/4" inch drive torque wrench that measures 20 to 200 inch pounds, but i was thinking 20 to 200 ft pounds...didn't realize you could covert from inch to foot to NM pounds...

    Have an appointment today after work to look at a back up vehicle while my daily is under the knife. Don't know how long it will take me to DIY all the motor work so I need a backup vehicle to get to and from the office and see clients.

    so yesterday i saw an ad on autotrader for a blue RS4 literally 14 miles from my house...called and spoke to a sales rep kinda enough to text me this photo:



    he didn't even know he had the car from a trade in this past saturday, i was literally the first person to call, told him i would drop a deposit and see him today, but took me for my word...

    i kid you not, between last night and when i picked this baby up he got five calls from around the country and one guy was there waiting for me to not show up (my condolences if you are an AZer)...it was kinda awkward because he was watching me inspect the car probably hoping i wasn't serious about buying the car...he left once i busted out my laptop and vagcom cable...

    early bird gets the worm though!



    thing is fuking mint, spent its whole life garaged in TX from a guy who has a massive collection of cars...this thing is better than my B6 A4 in every way...

    i'm gonna have so much fun getting around in this thing that i don't care how long it takes me to take my motor out and put it back together, lol

    That is an awesome find, and one of the best colors offered for the B7 RS cars.

    So when you selling the A4 lol. The torque in the RS will be addicting.

    what a great find. I wouldnt be surprised if you abandoned the a4 build and just started a new rs build.

    lol, the more time i spend in it the more i don't even care about my build...i might sell off the parts i acquired to free up cash to LIGHTLY mod the rs4...exhaust, manifold spacers, carbon clean, maintenance, etc...just keep b6 in k04 mode as a daily...

    yep, although, i think my head is cracked or my head gasket is toast because i've ruled out coilpacks, vacuum leaks, faulty injectors, MAF, etc and i can't think of any other reason why my car misfires so much during a cold startup, starting to see a bit of white smoke during cold starts as well...

    because of that, i'll move forward with the build, sell off leftover bits here and there, and learn how to pull a motor so when the time comes to pull the rs4 motor it will be my second rodeo and not my first...

    Oh yea, def a cracked head. in my complete HONEST opinion, I think the GTRS was the best setup for the car. it is the most OEM + in terms of power. people say the k04 is how the car should have come from the factory but the torque spike on it is not practical for daily driving. The gtrs is the most well rounded setup for daily driving and it wont kill you financially. i dont think you need to do valvetrain but everything else looks on point for a solid gtrs build.

    k04 was fun while it lasted, but, the gas mileage SUCKS compared to the stage 1 k03 tune...my car is constantly in boost and i don't even have a heavy foot...
