BUILD Mook's 2016 E85, Hybrid Turbo, Golf R

[Mook]

The ea888 is a fucking reliable ass motor. I think I just got unlucky. Alot faster folks than me beating the shit out of their cars.

Doesn’t your car uses the same engine powertrain. You’re probably next! ?

Don’t send that negative voodoo my way. And I also am not running everything he was/is.

When you pulled the original what was specifically worn or broken? The rings, were they oiled up?

I think Ramez is still trying to sell his Integrated Engineering built engine kit with pistons and rods, along with a fully built and ported head if any of that interests you. Might be able to save a few pennies ??‍

Would that cause the car to be down on power tho? Cause it absolutely is.

If you’re getting oil on the plugs it would definitely make a difference in power.

 

[Pro Stock John]

So what would be your plan, swap in a stock shortblock or go forged?

 

[Mook]

I've already got a block in the garage. Just gonna order up pistons and rods (and the small misc shit I'll need), swap those into the extra block and then toss that motor in. It'll all be done before spring. Thankfully I'm in no rush.

Did you ever look into that link I sent you about the LED tails and rear foglights?

Wtf you need rear fog lights for.

Except that one pesky LED.

oh. no, its definitely a burnt out led for the tails themselves.

 

[blue-sun]

yeah, but the "broken" LED's in yours might actually be Euro Rear Foglights.

 

[blue-sun]

Gotcha

Hey, the adults are talking. Go straighten out your turtle shell.

Do you have a machine shop do a balance and blueprint on something like this when they assemble or are these some sort of matched sets you can just pop in as long as the crank is in good shape

It's Mook it'll just get put together and driven.
