Slow and steady wins the race!

Hey guys - it's been a while! This post isn't to say another S3 8L has come to my possession but just an update to the below if anyone is interested. There were talks of swaps and upgrades which has been utterly successful. The build thread isn't here but on TT Forum FrankensTTein 3.6 build...

oufff that looks indestructible!

So for completeness sake I’m going to post the one last pic I’ve taken of Noggie before moving him on. Me and that blue chunky butt had a great time, as documented, and has now been moved on to a keen as a beam younger guy who I am sure will take good care of him. I told him to. Hahaha...

woohooo! nice progress

I never actually did this part of stripping the head. Re lapping etc. I bought all my bits and bobs engine with the head in a thick plastic bag clearly cleaned and skimmed - you guys are doing next level **** haha re - pistons hitting. - you won’t have to worry. You will see when the wonky...

Which is the new version??

BUY IT! BUY IT NOW!!!

Agreed. 500hp is easily attainable in stock internals.

that’s going to add up quickly if you end up upgrading the valve springs / retainers. I don’t think many do it to be honest ...

oooooh movement!!!! look forward to update pics and hope your block is OK!

yeah the white ones are - i have been given a revised version of the 3d print and it's made out of a different material so i am hopin these ones don't snap like the one on the right :( I changed them both in the one unit so finger's crossed!

The S3's first drive - back as a 1.8t. Good to hear those turbo sounds again! hahaha too fun :nogarors4:

oops! Sheißen!

Difficult to tell what it is at all from this angle! You need to see it on the side to see if it's go the black cap or not. I can tell, however, that it is a vr6 quattro box. lol

You can tell the drp’s from the others because they have the solid casing that is all alloy. Like your S3 one. the “not so good” boxes have a couple of plastic caps held in with C clips.

Nah mine is a BML :) Definitely forged crank you wanna see a pic of the car it was from? it’s quite a sight to say the least! I used the mk5 rail because it came with injectors and was the most cost effective option at the time due to my kit missing them - plus it is FAT compared to the...

Pushing on... Engine loosely bolted in place at the mounts. Quick oil and filter service while it’s super easy Had to change the fuel filter back over to the return system filter VS the returnless from the 3.2 Intercoolers on! Back to turbo from N/A :icon thumright: All other...
