I may have missed it. I was distracted by the countless eye candy pictures and descriptions of parts out of my budget but when are you getting it on the dyno?
looks Good Ryan!
now im going to need you to hot lap that thing till Sunday to break the motor in.
I wish I had the time, I'm only getting to and from work now with the baby routine at night.
Well thats the thing. You can't drive around on Hoosiers. I know people are able to do make a drivable fast launching fantastic FWD car, but at what cost? (and I mean mentally, comfortably and financially) You mentioned a comfortable daily driver, I do not believe that the GTI is able to keep much traction without anti lift kits/ coils/ bushings/mounts, and all of those will reduce the comfort of the car significantly. Most of them are also not easily installed parts where one can choose to install only on track days. What Hyde doing is great, exploring into the unknown, and I am sure we are all exciting to see it especially its not our money that hes putting into it. I am just thinking of it from the owner's perspective.
This is a how you spend $20k! :thumbsup:
But one suggestion, you may want to reevaluate that 034 Motorsports CC cause for the time I ran mine, it dumped a hell lot of oil back into my intake, so now I run the stock PCV valve with the BFI clean CC. The ECS looks like a good one too, it's just that africa plate for me dumped too much oil when compared to the stock PCV valve
I notice that too but aren't the PCV plates all the same with a check valve in it? I'm wondering how much blow-by I'll have in the intercooler and throttle body pipe but I have two things planned to help "clean" this and hopefully from the throttle body to the head will remain really clean.
-.5mm Aquamist jet in the TOP for post-turbo/pre-intercooler water meth
-1000cc port injector in the throttle body pipe
CC solutions are quick fix for the effect, it dosnt fix why there oil in the CC in the first place!!!!!
Blow by from poor ring seal is what causes most of the oil leaving the crank case with OEM engine. With a build like Ryan's using aftermarket pistons and rings the tolerances are larger and put boost behind that it MAY push some oil out into the CC by design because of the loose tolerances that come with high performance pistons .
Before Arnold @Pag freshen my FSI motor with BT it use to fill the CC , i would have to be drained it about once a month which was pretty normal from what others where experiencing .
He then re ringed the motor with fresh OEM rings still using OEM pistons and most important he ball honed to get nice cross catch on the cylinder walls to get proper ring break in .
It's been 5 + years and there been ZERO oil in my CC I mean nothing just dust, not even a drip or trace of oil at first I thought the drain was clogged lol . I took it apart and off the car to get a visual and it was whistle clean and empty. Bob G
I've never sat or driven a big turbo FWD
What part of earth are you in? If you happen to be local to me I'll take you for a ride in my car and change your mind
