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

[10sec]

Can you put your stock turbo back on or was that the core for the smoker you got in there now? That's where my money is, usually if you have a bad ring/piston it will smoke on decel even without a huge pull beforehand and it won't have near perfect compression. I've seen many of my shitty turbo cars puff smoke between shifts on some 20g that came off of another POS DSM but otherwise didn't smoke at all. Got another 20g with a lot less POS and it never puffed smoke again.

SRT41320 was nice enough to allow me to swing by the shop today... Leak down test performed. Cylinders 2, 3 and 4 were flawless. Cylinder 1.... Was a college dorm room.

 

[Mook]

I'll figure out the next move but the car drives near flawless minus flat out boost, so I'm just gonna limp it for now and then use winter to do whatever.

SRT41320 what were we seeing on the gauge again for that cylinder?

I think about 50psi before we started hearing the gurgling 80ish was where I could make it come out the dipstick ?

 

[Mook]

I think I'm just gonna build the motor in my garage over winter. Fuck it.

LS swap

 

[DanJ]

Well that doesn’t sound great. What piston was the problem last year ?

 

[Mook]

3. So maybe I did more damage last year than I thought... Or rings are just getting tired. Whatever.

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

Oh well, come back bigger and better.

 

[Mook]

I'm not crying over it. Car drives. Still can boogie in limp mode. On to next year.

Oh that changes everything.

Oh that changes everything.

Just 3 big threads away.

Dang. So what happened the first time and now this time?

 

[Mook]

Dang. So what happened the first time and now this time?

Rings are tired. Motor could have just been far more unhappy last year than assumed. Is what it is. This is why I kept the back up block.

 

[Mook]

Car is driving fine, so it's not a huge issue, especially with winter coming.

 

[10sec]

Deng. Well, at least you have/had a plan for this unfortunate news. Just FYI, a 20g is NOT going to solve this problem.

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

Oh that changes everything.

 

[Mook]

String of back luck with the car....if parts were more readily available last year, I probably would have built it then. But whatever. I'm not losing sleep.

It'll still make the cruise next weekend and not give a fuck doing so.

Can’t wait to see this low 10’s and reliable.

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