Hey Malaka team, progression means learning, and learning means failure(lessons). So don’t be discouraged!!! When you are trying to be the first or the best at something, you will run into issues!!! I know you guys will figure out all the “kinks” and keep on keep’n on! Best of luck, keep us updated! 🤘🏻
I love the car, I understand You've got to do things right. That's something My Dad taught Me, even if it means You've got to take apart again. It must be done right.✌️
Ive done a dsg gearbox that wouldn't set the kiss point adaption. The o ring on the input shaft on the clutch basket was pinched. It wouldn't build the pressures it was wanting to see in VCDS and would just say failed for safety reasons. Trickyyyy.
Great update George, I've had to do DSG clutches twice in the last month or so, it's always nerve-racking when you put it all back together and think have I done the shimming properly. Good Luck and I look forward to the other episodes.
You guys have me seriously considering a gen II Audi TT with the factory 3.2 v6. Have the V6 built, use RS3/TTRS Trans, upgraded drive shafts, axles ect.... big turbo or twin hybrid turbos. Think it would be fun to build and end up being a street/drag strip beast.
Man the noises audi pipes into the new ETron is awesome sounds like a big turbo VR6 with a flowmaster muffler.....sorry had to start the sh it talking. Glad your driving it. Makes me wanna do a dq500 in my car. My old ass left leg isn't keen on clutching these days.
Funny enough when doing a vw t4 aircooled engine swap to a vw bug t1 gearbox you should press a t1 bearing from the t1 flywheel into the flywheel to support the input shaft. Just strange how things with vw hasnt changed.
I'm making 1328awhp the rs3 2.5l 5 cylinder I also think the 5-cylinder sounds a lot meaner than your VR6. But I also have a 200 shot of nitrous on top of the 1328awhp so around 1528awhp start having DQ500 gear problems need billet gears lol. Anyways I just sent my gears off to be frozen/harden to see if that will help. Getting Ready for Tx2k 2024. Built everything myself in my garage had some help with tuning. Going to switch fuel run VP import 120 next or other oxygenated fuel.
I have this gearbox in my transporter. Every thing is loose that i can see but i just cannot get it to split the cover. The diff side is opened good but the Tronik side feels like something is in the way when i try to pull it. It barely opens. Is there something else like the selectors in the way or something.
Would you recommend me take a chance and start working on my b8.5 by myself(no mechanic knowledge) or keep taking it to my tuner 034 to keep working on it.
@@LOUCABRASI Manual Gearbox has no dependencies with transmission ECU tunning, its more reliable, and easier to maintain... Also regarding speed; with the right gear and final drive combinations - Longer gear sets can provide longer boost response and greater top end...
@@rmoore6471 How is it more reliable? The slave cylinder is internal, meaning the transmission will need to be dropped to get too it. In a non VW car it cost me $2800 at $160 an hour in labor cost and parts. I've also destroyed the input shaft on a Neon SRT-4. Replaced the transmission with a 2005 model (Mine was a 2003) and a Mopar Performance clutch, this was back in 2008, cost $1,500 It's all relative is my point, you start generating power you may or may not have transmission issues. Slave failure is random and if you need your car then you pay to have it repaired. DSG especially in the later cars Mk7 Golf/A series, etc 2015 and newer are more reliable than the previous generation.
@@rmoore6471 just no, the RS3 box is way stronger than any manual and it’s cheaper and faster to convert to DSG DQ500 than it is build a manual and provide it with clutch after clutch. My A3 VR6T was converted from manual to DQ500.
Fortunately I am able to vote with my fingers, out of this talk to much from guy's who admit they are not Audi specialists!!, not engineers just spare part merchant's!!
Excited for the updates!! About to do some bolt ons on my DAZA. Cool to see how deep you guys get into it. Do you guys do your own tuning? I'm always concerned when picking out a tuner, going with DS1
