How much does a big turbo 1.8T cost to build?

What does it cost to build a big turbo 1.8T? Since we just completed project 18HoopT this is a high level cost breakdown of what it takes to do a big turbo setup in a MK4 1.8T.

Yes it can be done for less, and for a lot more. The point is to give a high level breakdown to give folks a rough idea. Also keep in mind this includes ZERO engine mods.

[@JACKOFALLFATES]

yeah we know the rods go to 320 tq..... did you know the older engines are stronger / faster ?... AEB with some forged rods will break 400hp until the block starts to twist around 500hp.. this is all common knowledge

[@COMotorsports]

@@JACKOFALLFATES we did over 400whp on this one.

[@xaviercrowley7517]

Sitting about 20k on my GTI. Stock block, stock crank, stock head with Stainless ex. Valves. Stock o2j trans. Everything else is built and has been handling daily driving at 40lbs for a while now. Do you think the stroker setup is with it?

[@COMotorsports]

@@xaviercrowley7517 If you're building a new engine and need to buy pistons, then yes as there's not much of a difference in cost at that point (maybe a couple hundred bucks) so it makes sense. But changing it will just come down to what you want. It helps with low end power, and more displacement will help spool a big turbo easier. But for the average setup it's not needed really. The one exception to that I guess is if it's a heavy chassis like an Audi A4 or Avant or something then it needs all the help it can get.

this wasn't specific to MK4... this is just specific to the "fad" in general.

[@Zach.T]

So in my mk4 clutch and trans both worked fine then I ended up dropping a valve. Got a new motor in it and got it running again. Went to go and drive it out it in gear release the clutch and car does not stall or move and I tried every gear. Took off the clutch put a brand new throw out bearing in put it all back together and still nothing. So I’m gonna assume that it needs a clutch which was my first guess but could there be any other possibilities like tranny or maybe even the clutch lever in the transmission or maybe even shift linkages. If you have any ideas it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

350whp on E85 is easy on a log manifold with a 62mm CHRA K04, FMIC and some injectors.... maybe introduce some ring gap. It's not even worth it to go change the manifold because of all the "1 off tax" aka the guy makes them by hand.... you get more generic usable parts when you stay in the K frame range especially when you only made like 300hp!!!

[@COMotorsports]

Most of it's junk, so although can work, it will generally fail prematurely or provide subpar results comparably. We've used "ebay" in many cases... typically it always ends up the same... buying twice. We try to build good reliable street cars, or track cars which are getting heavily abused. So using parts that are failure prone just doesn't work in those instances, or are not worth the risk/investment.

Why Americans insist on standalone for big turbo 1.8ts is beyond me... The standard me7.5 is more than capible

[@COMotorsports]

It's called flexibility.

@@COMotorsports granted, things like meastro and ignitron give benifets but for what your doing there you don't need stand alone. I know You know more than me In regards to tuning them. I just don't understand why it's Mainly Americans that ditch the me7.5 ecu which is completely capible of running even a gt35.

[@COMotorsports]

@@matk22 if you see on our channel 95% of the build use stock ECUs. This just made it easier and much quicker since we had an ECU here for a completely different project. Again where the flexibility comes in.

@@COMotorsports again appreciate that but you was running numbers and stating you need a Standalone unless I miss understood Yea i follow your channel. And seen what you do and its pretty Cool. I'm surprised this engine has held up.. But goes To show a good tuner can keep timing and fueling in check to keep Numbers low to prevent bending cheese rods.

[@COMotorsports]

@@matk22 nope didn't state standalone was required. Made this power plenty of times on stock ECU....this was just easier as mentioned. I'm not being paid for the hours tuning this car, so wasting time reflahsing the stock ecu over and over again doesn't make sense. This was about getting the job done as quickly and as cost effectively as possible. Since we had an ECU kicking around it made the most sense.
