Speed sensor works and the welds are holding fine thanks to welding all the way around and a proper pre heat cycle.

@@269Garage Thanks for the reply! Wasnt aware that you had to preheat cast, going to tack it with the flux core and take it to the local shop to weld it with the gas welder, been searching ages for a solution for the hydro so thanks!!

Also clean the heck out of it, no oils or rust.

Hey it was good meeting you guys! Hit us up any time.

New videos every month, maybe!

One of the best sounding engines

256mm cubed

@@269Garage Thanks

I fabbed my own, and I sourced my engine and gearbox from a TT, which is the same block as the R32 or Touareg. I'd think the best 2.8 source would be from a mid 2000s jetta. Just make sure they're 24v instead of 12v. If I need a new block for mine, I'm gonna use a Touareg block since the R32 ones are rare. Also, all VR6 blocks are cast iron no matter what size if that matters.

Longitudinal vs transverse layout

Heck yeah! Glad it could be of use.

If only I could get my hands on a tesla motor for the front wheels.

I don't, Tyler is the driver. I just build stuff.

DQ250

It's a blessing and a curse

They should hold up just like any other ABS plastic, so just as long as other body panels I'd imagine.

Now if only someone sold these for people who have no access to printers…

I wish I had the mental capacity to start doing something like that, I barely can remember my keys when I go to work!

Just an experiment, I'd use sanding and buffing compound with clear coat if I were doing this for real.

The only reason I was able to persuade this, was she drove a silver TT that I hit a deer with. This donor car was for "spare body panels".

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks, I appreciate it. The weak point in these are the connecting rods, but that's simple enough to swap out for more ponies if I need them.

I wouldn't attempt it without using the top two tools if that's what you're asking.

I never disassembled mine, but it's not a bad idea to clean them out and re-prime them. But yeah they'll be fully collapsed on initial startup if they're dry.

I usually put the head on and cams in with no pistons at TDC, but with piston 1 close to TDC. Now if the cams are already installed on the head, I'll get the double dots lined up and some valves are sticking out, then it's a matter of just keeping piston 1 like a slight bit counter clockwise of TDC until the head is torqued down, then move it back to TDC after.

Yeah just paranoid 1st timer. Thanks

I don't do a great job at explaining how it works completely, but I rebuild the vanos unit in this video, around the 3:11 minute mark ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bZOUDOGpYf4.htmlsi=ldU9BNY0UPUyW7tD

@@269Garage Ok, is that the pitch wheel with the rotor inside, if so then my question has been answered Thank u very much 👍💪

Everything with the timing components are technically external to the VANOS, and the VANOS acts on those little spiral splined pistons to change the timing. At least that's my understanding of it. The camshaft position sensors operate from those oblong shaped pieces that have the arrows on them. This is also my first time rebuilding one of these so I'm not too familiar with the exact terms for all of the components.

Thanks 😊

@@269Garage Im sorry for asking too many question this is my last question 😂 The pistons on the right and left are both activated at the same time ?

I've got a few things in mind, just waiting on funds

The listing said 67"x21"

I did have to pull the bumper a little also

where can I buy them or where? thank you

The rear ones were from clinched flares, and the fronts were cheap ebay ones

Thanks, I appreciate it!

It still runs, it's just a street car for now

Not at the moment, we're pursuing a new shop currently. Been too busy to even upload archived videos lately, which I need to catch up on ASAP. Perhaps later in the future.

Maybe I'll regain momentum

We got ours from ebay. Just found the cheapest one that still had reasonable quality and bought it. Looks like from a search I just did I could only find UK sold ones at the moment.

Was a fun experiment, but there's definitely better ways to do it.

I wound up just wrapping them black

Thanks, been a little slow on new uploads lately, but I've got plenty more coming.

I'd have to estimate approx 2450 lbs. I'll get it on a scale one day

Thanks!

Thanks!

With a turbo, they sound even more so

Even pros aren't that high

I'll give you 450 to the wheels with this setup in the future

Both engines are capable of big power, just one sounds better than the other, and has a better dyno curve for both hp and torque. It's all about preference at the end of the day, and I work on VW/Audi as my hobby. I'm not a Honda guy.

⁠@@269GarageSo nicely said ! Your a very motivated talented guy ! Im watching this at least a year after you had posted this and i am hungering to hear more about how it performed on the street or track ? I drove a 450 HP 91 MK2 a few years ago and i was shocked at the grenade curve on throttle. It wasn’t really a fun drive as it was a handful when the turbo was spun up so much power all at once and especially in a 2,700 pound car i cant imagine 600 or 700 HP in that little go cart lots of smiles per mile . I liked and subscribed !

Yeah it's like twice the height of my printer.

@@269Garage It's still amazing to me. I watched a house being printed for a little while last week. I really want to look into the scanning and see how that works. Good work.

@chasermalloy7406 I bought an einstar scanner but haven't used it much.

@@269Garage Thanks. I'll look it up
