EP 2 ~ VW 1.8T 20V BIG TURBO BUILD 500HP+ 2.0L STROKER FORGED ENGINE Build , $2000 turbo

[@robholmesm]

New stickers have been designed. Message me on my insta to get some 🙏 link in description

[@LaunchBuilt]

Looks great can't wait to see the numbers and compare to Our 2.1t stroker

[@taylorbr1]

Love the channel and I am also curious in what these two builds will produce

[@robholmesm]

2.1t stroker nice man , that’s going to have some torque behind it . What turbo you got on it ?

[@robholmesm]

@@taylorbr1 thanks man appreciate it 🙏🏼 should be over 500hp but the limiting factory is going to be the cams and then intake manifold. Things I can upgrade in the future if I ever want more power 😂

[@LaunchBuilt]

@@robholmesm k03s on it now. We have a turbo being made Hx40 super

[@robholmesm]

@@LaunchBuilt that must spool crazy fast with that k03s on it

[@robholmesm]

If you have any questions about my build or anything in the video just ask 👍

[@michaellockey6414]

Do you use standered length rods withe the crank and standered type pistons or are the different when using the 2litre crank

[@robholmesm]

@@michaellockey6414 the pistons and rods are different to match with the 2.0L crank. Stroker rods and pistons

Great video! Liking the editing a lot mate! Looking forward to the next one 🤙🏼

[@robholmesm]

Thanks man 👌🏻 the Owens looks awesome. There will be a new video out this week

[@liamjones5347]

Another quality video bud, very informative 👍 Looking forward to the gearbox video !

[@robholmesm]

Thanks man 🙏🏼 I’ve got a little bit filmed of the next episode about the gearbox . Unfortunately with lockdown it stopped me filming everything I wanted

[@SinsAscendant]

Good to see good content and a decent bit of effort put into this! +1 for your sub count! Excited o see this come together!

[@robholmesm]

Cheers , I’m part way through editing the next video so it will be released this week 👌🏻

[@tomfisher2028]

Another sick video mate look forward to the next 👍🤙

[@robholmesm]

Cheers man ✊🏼

[@shannonobrien5798]

Great video mate. Can’t wait to see more content.

[@robholmesm]

Cheers man 🤞🏼

[@neildantino4709]

This is near identical to my stroker build. I added Shrick 252/260 cams to my AWW head w/ all same valve train you did, IE Intake manifold, FullRace exhaust manifold, Garrett GTX3071R, CTS 700hp FMIC, 44mm w/g, 870cc injectors w/ United Motorsport tune and a Peloquin LSD in my 02J. Still de-bugging it but 450hp on my VCDS.

[@robholmesm]

Sounds good man , what power did it make ?

[@neildantino4709]

I pulled a log at full throttle connected to my VCDS-Mobile and at around 6800 RPMs I was making 355 g/s at my intake air mass. If the rule is .8 g/hp than 355÷.8 equals…? And that is how I calculated it how much horsepower is making at the creek, I do have something set up to make some Dyno pulls in a couple weeks to see what I making at the wheel

[@robholmesm]

@@neildantino4709 yeah 450hp is good man , you should be able to make more on the turbo and setup . Especially with some bigger injectors

[@neildantino4709]

Yes! Especially if I switch to E85. It’s a daily driver though, my work car 🚗

[@robholmesm]

On “pump fuel” we would be doing 500hp over here. Unfortunately we don’t have E85 at fuel stations over in the UK . Would have to buy barrels of it which is expensive

[@simonpalethorpe8350]

Keep the vlogs going.👍👍👍

[@tirecchatman547]

Nice build

[@robholmesm]

Thank you 🙌🏻

Thankyou 🙏🏼

[@EduardM.]

Can you advise whether the crankshaft from BAM fits into the AVC engine block?

[@mateuszolszewski5167]

More

[@robholmesm]

It’s hard to keep filming regulararound the weather and my work

[@burns985]

Is this 2008ccm? What rpm do you have full boost in g25 ?

[@robholmesm]

There is now RMHspeed stickers due to demand, head over to my insta and give me a dm to order some!

[@raoulimamdi220]

Hey where did u buy th na camschaft looking for them

[@robholmesm]

I bought this pair of NA camshafts off someone from FB. You can get them off eBay or a car breaker/scrap yard

[@robertlouiscoman3308]

Conrod’s are for 2.0 tfsi ???

[@robholmesm]

The Conrods are IE “stroke rods” and CP “stroker pistons”

[@danglee1786]

Love the build want to do too mine sum time when my funds allow an I stop spending on my rs turbo Iv got a ibiza fr 1.8t Where did u get the alloy thermostat housing I bought a set off ebay but I'm sceptical weather to use them or not looking forward to see this progress

[@robholmesm]

Cheers man, these are off eBay but I’ve spent some time cleaning/tidying them up

[@danglee1786]

I got mine off there too wasnt sure they would be weak or not Now if seen them on I might fit them On mine

[@robholmesm]

@@danglee1786 in my latest video I’ve actually said i got them off eBay and explained about them . I wouldn’t just fit them as they are then need porting out internally and I resurfaced the flange aswell

[@danglee1786]

@@robholmesm was thinking I'd make sure they are flat an tidy them up thanks for the input

[@robholmesm]

@@danglee1786 happy to help 👍

[@SpeedingTube]

Awesome work mate, the anodised red spinny looks pure porn! :-)

[@robholmesm]

I have spent much time just looking at the turbo and playing with it 😂😂

[@dhanssolo]

What type of 1.8t is your engine? I have a ATW (058) block that i want to put a stroker kit into. But i heard that there may be clearance issues with some older blocks

[@robholmesm]

My block was a BAM, I couldn’t see why there would be a clearance issue

[@dhanssolo]

@@robholmesm i'll do some more research. It had to do something with hitting bolts on the low end of the stroke.

[@robholmesm]

I’ve heard about oil squirters touching on some builds

[@FootageFactory]

Do you have a machine shop that resurfaces your block and heads? If so what shop?

[@robholmesm]

Yes mate , I used “Anderson Racing Engines” All depends where abouts you live tbh

[@FootageFactory]

@@robholmesm Right now Scotland, Oh yeah youre a ways. Im importing my American engine, and I want to rebuild it.

[@robholmesm]

@@FootageFactory I would look for someone that builds race engines locally to you and ask them. Unfortunately not all machine shops do the same quality of work

[@davidobrien258]

Could you confirm your turbo spec again building a similar motor and I plan on using Owen‘s

[@robholmesm]

@@davidobrien258 yeah mate no problem Turbo spec : Owens developments GBT6176, MA5 cover with a .62 exhaust housing.

[@thomaspearson7828]

Hi is the block agu aswell or bam I am collecting all parts for my build and will be doing agu head and don't know if I should just keep my auq block and use that to save on having to buy a whole another engine

[@robholmesm]

Hi mate , my block was originally BAM code and the head is AGU . There not really any difference in the actual blocks themselves

[@thomaspearson7828]

Yeah I knew they were all basically same block maybe one or 2 very very little differences but just wanted to triple check with someone who has done it as no point in buying a full engine if not needed

[@robholmesm]

Yeah it’s all good man , the blocks are the same dimensions I believe only the transverse mounted engines are slightly different blocks for the mounts

[@thomaspearson7828]

@@robholmesm yeah I found your channel today can't wait to see how your car turns out

[@bradleehume4199]

What exhaust mani you going for buddy I take it custom downpipe 3inch or 3.5?

[@robholmesm]

I’ve got a custom tubular exhaust manifold on the way and you’ll see it in the next episode 🙌🏼 I will have a 3.5” Downpipe

[@robholmesm]

I’ve received my manifold and will be uploading a video within the next couple days
