Getting more interesting now, look forward to the next one 👍🏻

One of best, if not the best 1.8t engine series on KZbin, and I know I’ve been searching n looking for years. Well done top lad. Thrwust bearings....lol

[@DecimalTenths]

Cheers Leroy! I did a bit of looking around myself, didnt want to copy anyone or cover what has been covered already. Done a fair few of these now so hoping I could add my own take on it.

What's your opinion on the 3 cylinder twin turbo engine koenigseggs just used in their new gamera with its freevalve technology?

[@tamassara5635]

What is torque on main studs? 60ftlbs in 3step?

[@Limbo_118]

Love the videos mate! Gained a sub here! Quick question.. Would you recommend similar bearing clearance for an engine wanting to do 400-450 on a track build car. Struggling to find any answers online

[@DecimalTenths]

This engine was built for track action and be able to take that kind of power so the clearances in this video are good for that setup 👍.

[@adamkorekach9936]

Will I need to reflash my ECU after going from 1.8T to 2.0T Have a 2003 Passat

[@DecimalTenths]

You will find that there will be some changes. Plus any optimisation that could take place to get more from it

[@lowmonte1978]

why does the grooved bearing go into the number 4 bearing cap any reason in particular? is it because is closest to the oil pump ?

[@DecimalTenths]

It is a legacy thing from the previous generations of vag 4 cylinder engines, where it did matter to aid with big end failures. It is seen as best practice to carry on with in the later engines too.

[@lowmonte1978]

@@DecimalTenths awesome, thank you for the reply. I was just installing them to take the measurements and noticed that I had 6 of the grooved ones and questioned it. my first though was an error from the manufacturer then read the installation instructions that it was for number #4. It didn’t seem symmetrical enough to me 😹 so I questioned it am glad I saw that in this video. Thank you for the clarification!

[@jamesevans7361]

Am I missing something I thought the trust washers sat on each side of cap 3 ? I'm in the middle of building my own 20vt so if someone can shine some light on this it would be great

[@DecimalTenths]

Yep they do, come as either 1 or 2 piece depending on engine code. Best bet is fit the 2 piece versions as they are 360deg bearings. 2 parts sitnon the block side, and 2 sit in the main cap

[@81greengo]

Hi Nick Awe some content this information is going to be so crucial to my build, am building the exact same engine 2.0l stroker and was wondering if you can tell me what the exact tool is to remove the squirters, I dont seem to have a tool that fits.

[@DecimalTenths]

Hi Steve, thanks glad you like it. The early 1.8is have an Allen key head, 5mm off the top of my head. The later ones (depending on your engine code) use a 12 point spline bit instead.

[@81greengo]

@@DecimalTenths apx?

[@DecimalTenths]

Wouldnt know off the top of my head mate. Most probably Allen head though. The splined squirter bolts are less common.

[@81greengo]

@@DecimalTenths thanks very much for the information. Nick. Stacey's supplying with me with all I need, am so excited.

[@adamwhittaker5116]

When you built this engine how much did your pistons protrude the block at tdc

[@DecimalTenths]

No protrusion on these engines at TDC

[@adamwhittaker5116]

Thanks for getting back to me I am building a stroker for my self and have got 0.25 mm Jut out at tdc so I will have to get a thicker head gasket I’ll have to get 1.4-1.5 mm gasket if I can Keep up the vids do some more 1.8t stuff Pppppplllllllllleeeeeeeaaaaaaassssssseeeeee

Good work buddy what rods are you using and just a question can u get quality rods off eBay

[@DecimalTenths]

Check out my rod video mate. It's all in there. With rods I'd suggest you buy the best your budget can take. People do have good luck with the maxspeedingrods off ebay though. Never had them myself, although I do know people who run them.

[@saltcandy1123]

Cheers buddy thanks for the advice stay safe👍

[@adamkorekach9936]

@@DecimalTenths I started pulling my engine today. Just one bolt holding the ZF 5-speed to the back of the engine block right now. Not too easy without a lift or engine crane. I hope the short block is not too heavy as I’ll be yanking it by hand. Wish me luck.

[@richardstubbings6962]

You thought about using the cams from the n/a 2.0 Nick, or are you trying to keep the Rev limit closer to stock.

[@DecimalTenths]

Yeah mate I want some NA cams. Not even set on the turbo yet...?🤔

[@richardstubbings6962]

Decimal Tenths what about the AET 360? I know you wanted to stray away from K04, or ask Prawn racing about the G25, big power then, all though he is aiming for 400bhp in the racing class he’s entering

[@DecimalTenths]

Definately staying away from k04 framed turbos mate. The dream would be either GTX28 gen2 or G25-550 on a tubular manifold, however that just = 💷💷. If only I was a big youtuber I'd probably get given one...😂😂

[@richardstubbings6962]

Decimal Tenths agreed...sponsorship deal maybe 😂 GT25 would be ideal but as you say expensive.

Just pointing this one out to ya not to insult you but if ur using an extention thats that long your torque settings will be way off
