It really shows how much these engines are limited and choked down from the factory.. especially a 1.8t with the dumb n75 valve..249 valve..and a tiny lil itty-bitty KO3S turbo...that totally bleeds off boost pressure.. electronically limited.. turbo comes alive at 2200 but dies at 3000..that is just dumb

When i was growing up turning wrenches in the late 80's early 90's before the web you had to know someone who had a shop and this experience to build things like this and now it's virtually free on the web. Lots of trial and error back then... Wish i had more to give but you guys deserve a lot for the specificity of your content. I put a 93 GSR in my 87 CRX and we custom-fabbed engine mounts and distributors to get the car running on OBD0. Just had that thought going down memory lane. Cheers and Regards again

[@junkyarddawgfixit8970]

Really really nice build and lots to like about it. Looked like they were machining the head for bigger valves/ seat rings? Are you sealing the main girdle with the white adhesive or did you machine a groove for a spagetti seal? Notching those valve reliefs in the pistons probably only removed a few tenths of a gram so rebalancing probably not required? keep rolling.....

[@StavTech]

Love it. How far have you pushed the 1.8T block on stock main caps and without a girdle? Filling the waterways of the block at all?

[@COMotorsports]

I think I've made 700whp on completely stock main caps, and stock main bolts and cast crank. I switched it all out after that so didn't push it further, not worth it when you're spending money on everything else in the setup.

[@StavTech]

@@COMotorsports yeah thought as much, and yeah that makes sense, thanks. Do you ever see crank walk or main cap issues really? I know on the 30V V6 it’s around the mains the issues tend to start, but all 1.8Ts I’ve messed with always tend to have the mains seeming great and thrust washers looking fresh when I pull them apart.

No this is older 16v head, however a 2.0t FSI head could work also. I was going to go that route but didn't want to deal with the lifters at high RPM.

[@DS-ed9nn]

What is the benefit of running a 16v head vs a 20v head?

[@Elmospiece]

might just be that at this power level and rpm that the benefits of the 20v will be negligible.

[@Jpuds95]

I believe that they said in some video that the 1.8t intake cam side is limited because of the 3 lobe design and lifter size and that limits the size of the cam that can be fitted

[@COMotorsports]

The quickest VW' in the world is a 16v... so that's what I stuck with. Power difference would be neglectable at this level.

[@COMotorsports]

@@Jpuds95 Never said that on this channel, must have heard that elsewhere. There's lots of big cams for the 1.8ts, I just didn't want to deal with the tiny valve train that the 1.8t has, and the quickest VW in the world is a 16v... so it's what I stuck with.

[@isaacpettit5594]

Awesome build guys, excited to see what this setup does. Quick question, seems like you guys checked valve/ piston clearance a ton of times, more than you’d expect a typical machine shop to do building a customer engine maybe? Looked like you’re also running a pretty high CR, is there a benchmark CR where you really need to begin paying attention to valve clearance? I’m running 10:1 and have an adjustable pulley I plan to play with but not sure how carefully the shop that assembled the ending would have checked that. Hard to imagine them taking the care you guys took.

[@COMotorsports]

A lot of things to factor in... so definitely not a straight cut answer. We checked valve to piston clearance so much because I wanted to have movement in the cams. So we'd check it timed, we'd check it as far as we could go each way on the sprocket, then did it all again once I had the pistons cut. This way I know how far each way I can go when adjusting it without having a concern. Compression, cam lift, valve size, how pistons were cut initially, head gasket thickness, how much the head and block have been decked... there are endless things to contribute to it. Hence why it's worth doing.

Hi guys.. Dave.. Clayton.. Doggy (where is your puppy son? We need him back to channel).. so u say it is easy plug e play to swap 16v or 20v head? Yes u say cause u did 😅.. also 8v head can be swapped on 1.8T engine? Doed it have sense? Or better to use 8v engine straight forward? Maybe it is too old then huge performance difference if using 1.8T bottom as world record engine? Sorry but this isn't just my territory.. u're going with + 1000 ponies 😂.. please will be appreciated if u could share some of your east cost country.. maybe driving one of your creations down open roads 🙂

Doesn't make sense to swap a 8v head and restrict flow.

[@COMotorsports]

Custom set we've done the R&D on for the 1.8t blocks. We've done a few sets now.

Why not just run a charge cooler

Thanks!

Appreciate the support Todd. 💕

Thanks!

Greatly appreciated. The quickest VW in the world is still a 16v to my knowledge, which is part of the reason I stuck with it. Little cheaper when it comes to valve train stuff because there's less. But either perform similarly.
