The Project Pad

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the tall TDI 6th gear makes this car a much better road car without sacrificing much in the lower gears. There are a engines that wouldn't have the torque to pull this 6th at 75mph..... This 2.6 stroker does just fine and motors along at a civil 2200 Rpm in the process. I don't think it will be enough economy to offset the 5 mpg average of the weekend, but it should do decent on a long cruise with someone other than Hank driving.

No need for stroker, my lowly 2.2 manages just fine.
I get 11L/100km average but I don't drive the crap out of it like Hank does

Yeah right Martin! Don't believe that for a second, lol

This 10:1 engine on e85 and crazy flow makes for some great VE. I can cruise on surface streets at 55 @ 1600 rpm and get out of people's way. NA I bet this motor makes more than the stock URQ for hp or torque.

Found this Gem on an article somebody posted on my facebook


Link to video

I remember that day. Same day someone else went digging for gold...

Co-worker friend just showed up at my cubicle to tell me a story about an old red Audi he saw at the Vegas Speedway onramp on Monday... Said it was being tailed by a BMW that was trying to keep up...and the sound thereof was awesome.

I quickly showed him a certain video of an old red Audi in the shop area of Vegas Speedway. Confirmed the same one

Small world we live in!

If said video is the same I am thinking, how could he really tell it was the same audi what with all the smoke screen?

I believe there was a positive match on the acoustic signature...'sound thereof was awesome'...yep, same one.

I'll bet you are right....that sort of slipped past me.

This motor rocks, but I think it's days are numbered the more I play with the 07k stuff. Anybody shopping for a tall deck 2.6L

I'm ignoring this post!

O_O

Me too!

Some people...

I won't turn a cold shoulder :-) True, it'll be sad to see the tall deck leave the bay, but onward and upward! Be sure to dyno it before pulling

put a 3794 on it before you sell it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I KNEW it

The Tall deck may just end up in the Lago CQ car that has more room up front for stuff.

What is tuning like for the new stuff? Easier without going standalone?

If you swap in a full harness from a jetta, but you have a lot of crap you don't need n the stock harness, plus it is drive by wire.

I am probably going to get this on the dyno with a 3586r, test it with a 30r and 3071r billets, and then start building manifolds for the 07k.

Can it come with the car ???

Everything is always for sale

hahahaha

I like where this is going, Hank. Quite impressed with everything you have done/come up with so far. Looking forward to whats next!

Don't tear it apart until after I come out to Vegas in mid-February, please!
