Feta Fam, friends and new comers,
Engine build time for the RS3's newly machined R30 VR6 engine. in this video we tackle the bottom from piston ring gap filing/install to Pistons, rods, and our steel girdle.
As always thank you for watching and leave us your thoughts in the comments below.

Like the fact you both claim you're not experts and warn folks from copying you! Unlike millions of other engine builds on the internet! Good Luck guys, hope you smash it! And I have do doubt you will 👍👍👍

[@MalakaMotorSports]

Thank you sir. We just enjoy the process and like learning. I think too many people and shops are too quick to call themselves experts. We are constantly learning. Appreciate the support 🙏

[@jeromeshellar2270]

Super stoked to see what happens next. I look forward to more content soon. Audi supporter from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@MalakaMotorSports]

Thank you very much for the support

[@DevineDigital]

Fluidampr is going to save you so much headache in a high HP situation. I highly recommend one to reduce the harmonics the engine will see with higher horsepower tunes. The stock damper is good at stock HP rate vehicles, but anything over that you are taking a chance of vibrating that crank to death. Great video guys, and can't wait to see the updated build.

[@MalakaMotorSports]

Absolutely we been running fluidamprs on both of our B5’s seems like every failure we have seen is because people don’t put a new crank bolt which is $7 along with loctite and actually torque them.

[@junkyarddawgfixit8970]

The engine build is looking solid, nice job. The ring gap formula is .007 and .0075 per inch of cylinder bore, you could have gone .030 and the engine would not know. Keep rolling.....

[@MalakaMotorSports]

That makes sense

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

You guys are very knowledgeable.

[@jasonwillis7413]

You guys are killing it. You both are always getting better.

[@SuperHbkforever]

I think the best part of your videos is the banter. Great job guys, can't wait to see this car eating V8s and Honda's for breakfast

[@MalakaMotorSports]

Hahaha. Thanks man. It’s so much fun I can’t wait to get back to racing and giving a lot of high powered cars a run for their money. Will be satisfying

[@Sanch3Zzz]

[@larskvammen6490]

Norway checking in 🙂

[@martingidaszewski7342]

I’ve seen videos of pro guys when they’ve done ring gaps. The only difference from what you were doing, is they flip the piston upside down and they push the ring down until it gets to the associated groove. I think the reasoning behind that method as far as I’m aware is that’s where the rings would end travel at tdc for each cylinder. Can’t wait to see the vrs3 on the dyno

[@MalakaMotorSports]

Everyone has their method. We are excited also. Dyno numbers are cool. 1/4 mile times are way better lol -stav

[@martingidaszewski7342]

@@MalakaMotorSports that’s a good and bad thing about working on cars, millions ways to do everything. But those boys from Real St are absolutely top shelf 👌🏼. I’m interested to hear what the r30 is going sound like. Maybe you guys could do a comparison video with yours and George’s B5 to the vrs3?

[@PostPros]

Be careful doing that, on vr6’s the top of the piston is at a 7,5 degree angle📐 and the rigs would not be square within the bore. Ask me how I know😂

[@Skaude]

This is exactly what i needed to see today, thanks

[@MalakaMotorSports]

Love it! Keep the content cumin’ bubbas! You’re both an inspiration to this noob car guy! (Not saying you’re noobs, but the level of your humility is amazing)

[@MalakaMotorSports]

Thank you very much for the support. This project has been a lot of fun and we are constantly learning and love sharing with everyone.

[@iswinkels]

Been looking forward to his for a while. One tip, you don' need to lube the studs where they go into the block. The ARP grease is only for the UNF Fine ends of the studs, to reduce friction and allow more accurate torque specs. You can loctite the block ends though.

[@MalakaMotorSports]

Hmm interesting I guess it’s just bad habits. Even arp told us to lube them up. But what your saying makes sense. Hopefully everything works out. If that shows to be an issue we will fix it and try a new way. Always learning something new

[@iswinkels]

@@MalakaMotorSports I doubt the mains studs would shake loose anyway. I'd imagine you'll be pulling the engine once a year or more for maintenance. When you do, attempt to re-torque the mains to your current torque spec and see if they move. Also, consider getting an ARP rod bolt stretch gauge. Ive found that when using L19 and ARP625 bolts (3/8) the torque spec recommendation of 65ft-lb doesnt achieve the required stretch. In fact you often end up going as far as 71ft-lb to get the 5.5-6.5 thou stretch on the bolts. Its a good investment to improve your builds, and helps you document everything so you have a point of comparison for when you do your maintenance inspections.

[@MalakaMotorSports]

Absolutely all good things to consider and I think your right at the power level we are aiming for. I would think regular routine maintenance and checks will come and we can improve and document everything better. I’m excited to see what this engine will do and how far we can push a cast engine

[@rudolfopadilla535]

I've always been a 1.8t builder, and am experimenting with the 2.7t, but really wanting to build an r30. There's too much potential with this type of build. Gonna have to try it in the s4.

[@razerone49]

Start with a regular VR6 turbo before you go r30. Plenty of potential while you get you learn the VR ins and outs

[@grant620]

Great video and channel guys. Thanks! Out of interest, any reason you aren’t using a torque plate when adjusting rung gaps?

[@MalakaMotorSports]

Well thank you for the support. But. In all of our motors the machine shop used a torque plate to bore the motor. But never seen anyone check ring gaps with the torque plate on their. Maybe something we will try in the future but so far so good

[@PostPros]

My brother and I were talking the other day, with that girdle plate being sandwiched between the oil pan and block, how are you guys going to get the oil pan “bell housing” bolts to line up with the trans?? The holes will be off the thickness of that girdle..(I’ve seen 3/8” & 8mm thick girdles) We were debating this ourselves🤔 Lovin the vids!!🔥🏁

[@daniel_poore]

Custom oil pan, haus. Also have seen adapters too, but not often.

[@donnelhuddleston2478]

What turbo should we use for 1000 HP ON STREET for both the 1.8 and or the 3.2 vr6 engines with the least lag as possible?

[@MalakaMotorSports]

Hard to say for the 1.8t as we have not modified a 1.8 to that level. But the 3.2 can make 1000 Hp on any 68mm turbo. Check out the g series turbos very high quality turbo

[@chrisharkins552]

What did you guys have for oil clearance on the rods and mains?

[@MalakaMotorSports]

I believe around .022 for rod bearing clearance. And around .025 for the mains. If memory serves me correct. Machine shop line honed the motor and we did a quick check and everything looked good

[@krangis]

@@MalakaMotorSports thx for the reply should be mint 👌 cant wait to see how much power you throw at it! Im also interested to know how much that girdle and the arp studs distorted the main bore (if at all )before they align honed it. I've done arp hardware on 12v vr6s many times and the main caps are so beefy it changed the bore size barely a tenth.
