do yourself a favor and watch in 1080p. AND LOUD

It was sweet to see/hear this fire up the first time! I was really hoping for a flame shot launch control, but either way this is going to be one bad ass car! cant wait to see it moving under its own power.

nice!

Can you give a quick outline on the specs of the engine/whats been done internally and what management its running.

Thanks for the reply

VEMS, 01E

starter setup is super custom, spaced out, and with cut off and re-clocked ears
trans is a 6spd tdi o1e

Thanks for all the support and help from everyone this weekend on Jims car, It was nice finally meeting everyone face to face not just on the forums.

off topic question - how come most pictures on this site come out absolutely massive? you have to scroll across to see the rest of the pic etc.

The clickable one's at the start of the thread was fine.

I had a hell of a fun time hanging around the car just watching everyone work and get things moving. Sounds amazing!!

update
SO 8 days before Carlisle Hank managaed to squeeze in finishing, and shipping my pickup tube between everything else he has for workload.

SO i could seal the pan on. That was the kick in the pants i needed to finish this thing so Tim(my2000apb) and I started a marthon of sorts. Between RedBull, Pizza, and sleep depravation we did pretty well with the time we had. We treated it slightly differently in effort to make the bay at least presentable for a car show. Its the most important area to me anyway.

So we had a slightly bigger list than i anticipated when we started and of course as you go....The list gets longer

There was a 3~ foot section of exhaust we hadn't finished yet, here is that. The car is 3" turbo back with the smallest unchambered 3" in and dual 2 out. Dont recall the part number.




had to patch back in a bit of sheet metal on the inner fender


and a raw start of the starter adapter. I dont want to give dimension of anything til Im happy with it for a while. We also have serious time into that stupid hunk of aluminum and I know hank did too! It def had a bunch of cranking tim between at Carlisle, at my place, and Marcs.




specs are as follows...

Engine:
'12 block("stupid fucking oil pressure valve unplugged)
'08 head(28k on head!!!) STOCK
'06 forged crank(no theyre not ALL forged)
IE Tuscan rifle drilledrods
JE 8.5:1 pistons
22mm tool steel wrist pins
ARP head studs
Stock main bolts. Reason being ARPs deform the mains and you need to line bore. My motor was together already :-/
Iroz MS Oil pan
Iroz MS engine mount arms
Iroz MS Valve cover
Iroz MS Flywheel
Southbend stage 3 PP(7a style) with stage 2 xtreme(feramic/feramic last full face before puck style)
Tial V60 WG
Tial 50 BOV
All other items fabricated on my car were built by Higbee Performance Fabrication(audidub) and/or myself. Also help from Tim and Toph as well. Examples: header/ exhaust front to back, intake manifold/piping, etc.

The car may looks faded on the outside but this car has already been gone through on its first iteration..

URQ rear diff(DPJ is 3:89 which is ok with me)

016 output cups/bolts shortened 3mm
016 linkage with URS slug and bushing "fitted" in.
