MK6 GTI Gets a Built Motor

Buttoned up the built motor on Andrews Mk6 GTI and tossed it in the car. Got everything put together for the first start and it fired up with no issues. Ready for some break in miles now and some final tuning after that.

First my brain was refering to a Peter Bilt Motor! 😄 👍

[@damiansmith5005]

How many miles did your engine at the time of rebuild have? How did your thrust bearings look. I have been reading about mrk6,7 having big big problems with thrust bearing because of modified clutch. I am doing mrk6 rebuild because of catastrophic thrust bearing failure. My mrk6 is apr stage 3 gtx2867r. Any info would be appreciated. Nice gti

you literally have my dream car lol

The good news for you is it's an easy attainable dream car. Just save a bit of money and you'll have one in no time

[@TheWetCheese]

Get the R. I have one and a mk4 gti. Love them both

[@JacesOwnWorld]

If you want a GTI, get the MK7 or MK7.5. Supremely better and more reliable car over the MK6. The same goes with the Golf R in terms of generations.

[@galcantar08]

@@JacesOwnWorld i currently have a mk6 GTI with 150k miles and a K04 Turbo. I love all the new and old but yes i do agree with you on being better . The reason I said he has my dream car is because of the color and his set up .

[@JustinStrife]

@@JacesOwnWorld I bought the Mk6 over the 7. Just don't care for the looks of the interior or exterior on the 7. Have BBS RGR's on order, researching K04 turbos and intercoolers. Plans to put an LSD in too.

What engine mounts? That thing is solid mine moves around a lot on startup? What mounts should I get to prevent movemnt

[@thatsmyassbrostop]

Dogbone. The engine is transverse so the engine torques front and back.

[@Commonginger]

Looks like Black Forest Industries engine mount. Most likely has an aftermarket dogbone insert as well

Running pops and bangs tune is just going to eventually blow that motor again in some way or form in the future. The owner should really get rid of that tune. It's fun to run, but not great for the engine though.

Not to mention putting cops heads on swivel. Stealth is fun, getting pulled over isn't.

The stock rods can blow after about 350 whp i think.

my 2010 gti engine code cczb was at 380whp 650nm was working perfect for 10months 0 issues and then 1 day normal driving at 2k rpm piston 3 welded to the valves,got it rebuilt(with stock parts due to not being able to afford forging it)(cncd head/piston holes/resleaved/and all internals changed) blew up again after 3500 kilometers piston 3 flew out into the oil pan.I firmly believe 2nd time was the mechanics who rebuilt it fault.but yeah from day 1 i was told to upgrade valve retainers and valve springs for anything 300whp+

This engine was built to be abused, I guess none of you have seen others in this world taking a fresh engine straight to the dyno and on to racing. Break it in how you plan to drive it. The tuner said to use the same tune for break in.
