TURBO 5 Cylinder Build - Porsche Rally Build | EP 6

Mike is swapping the stock Porsche motor with a VW/Audi 2.5L O7K 5 Cylinder Engine, while adding a Borg and Warner Turbo and using the@BoostBrothersGarage swap kit. Mike is also dropping in @IEtuned pistons and rods to make the beautiful 5 cylinder sounds Audi and Volkswagen are known for. Watch Mike tear down this VAG motor and rebuild it into an engine that is going to give the 944 the power to compete through the woods.

I used to work for ECS long ago I loved it... building big brake kits all day and running lazer CAD. I moved back to Ohio from Missouri and really miss the place and the people there they are top notch...

Love seeing the support for the 07k!

[@werzwas]

Feel like I've been waiting for this update for way too long, so much so that I've rewatched the other episodes about 5 times, but totally worth the wait. Easily my favourite build, especially the journey it's been on since its intro as a winter beater.

[@ecstuning]

Hell yea! Thanks for tuning in and following! We appreciate you!

[@DashnCars]

Can't wait to see you all on stage. I do rally media, let me know if you need coverage. 🤘

[@thecalvinsch]

Thank you Mike, for never taking any shortcuts (no matter how small) on this gargantuan project. We know you do it all for us

[@THESLlCK]

I really hope these motors go unnoticed so I can get one cheap!!

[@ecstuning]

Get one while you can! They're still reasonably cheap as of now

[@richardhummel2160]

Great videos. Thank you for posting. Just got my Boost Bro's kit, and 07K engine. It will be going into an 86 944. Can't wait to get started!

[@saltcityhustlin3152]

I’m excited for you. I plan on doing one soon.

I would die to have a similar setup on my rabbit! Seriously the build and video quality is out of this world. You guys deserve all the views. Can’t wait for the next episode!

I’m here thinking the same thing

[@EastDallasKicks]

Building a rabbit mannn

[@stevebryson3702]

One thing for grinding rings: grind the opposite direction that Mike shows (wheel rotates towards the center of the ring). Even if there isn't a bur, rotating the grinder from the inside out can chip off the chrome coating.

[@jesseosterhout907]

Nice editing, you don’t ramble on.. cool build.. I’m a fan, subscribed!

[@staLkerhu]

That thing sir, looks absolutely magical!

[@YogisGarage]

Mike, well done! That turbo is INSANE! Now I know I can take my Jetta's 2.5l engine and do that to it. No particular reason but why not?

[@ferdi.b93]

That engine is best part of this build.

Nicely DONE !!

[@stevebarnette]

You built a gorgeous engine.

[@JuanMartinez-zw4tn]

I love Mikes’s builds. But working at a machine shop myself I can’t believe he didn’t send the head to get decked for piece of mind. I mean he already sent the block... decking is pretty quick and really important as it will prevent head gasket failures...

[@mikeday3644]

I checked it for flatness. I get piece of mind, but I’m also not into spending money for things I don’t need

[@JuanMartinez-zw4tn]

[@oscarwalton1188]

Nicely done sir 👍

[@davidfusco6600]

Nice job!

[@CarLos-yi7ne]

@ 4:14 "they usely turn copper colour as they wear" Copper colour means "worn". The "coating" is in fact the bearing material. The copper layer is the layer between the steel back and the bearing material. So when you see copper it is really, really time for new bearings.

[@pdee886]

Big fan of the Cat lumpy sticks. I started using them back in the day on my old 9A/ PL builds. They rock. Good shit on the solid lifters, smart man. Those rods are worlds better than the OEM ones. This thing looks the business fully dressed!!! I love the intake mani especially, all looks fantastic. Can’t wait to see it dropped in the bay 😃👍🏻

@@ecstuning 🤷🏽‍♂️ you can’t blame a man for trying? I see boost sexy tubular turbo manifold, shiny ✨ intake manifold with them race ready red r8 coils 😍 and hotboi colored block and I think 🤔 that would make my e90 into one of the dopest most original and unique drift cars around!!! Tell me that wouldn’t make for a cool 😎 swap to cover? I guess your welcome 🙏🏽 ecs.

[@gregzoller9003]

What are you planning to do for the transaxle? Stock 944 won’t handle much power. Turbo units are better but still somewhat limited. Are there other, higher-power options you’re thinking about?

[@BlobieRX]

What size are those piston heads? The same size they sell on the site or did you contact them directly and request them specifically? For the 9.50:1 ratio?

[@kululv]

I'm surprised you're not checking clearance on all bearings! are these rods and pistons weight balanced?

[@mariosnikolaou5212]

[@LukeyBoyDirt]

Amazing build Mike! I'm curious what crank you used? Is it a forged unit from an RS3 or did you get an 05/06 donor 07K that had a forged crank? Cheers!

Sweet, now do it in a Miata

[@stevebauman69]

Great video I have helped with two stroke performance builds ,on a 4 stroke what specs do you follow on reassembly. Liquid cooled on a two stroke you set everything loose in p

[@stevebauman69]

Sorry you set everything loose on piston and bore , ring gap below specs same on 4 stroke ?

[@genatorbol]

how is that modified cam phaser holding up?

[@isaacshively6705]

Also is there a better head gasket than the shitty layered oem ones? I pushed water through mine and it resealed but it obviously doesn't like long 140mph pulls

I can’t find a turbo kit for the 07k motor, and it doesn’t come with y’all’s kit for the 944 swap… so what turbo kit are you running??? Send a link pls

[@darealkosmo]

Is there any downside to running the low profile valve cover?

[@jardim23]

How is the 07K powerplant for building? i personally never seen one built.

[@quinnhunton2845]

The bearing tangs are for location purposes only, offers no protection against spinning a bearing

I was gonna RS3 swap my 2.5 MK6 but if you guys sold these as made to order crate engines I'd buy one if it's less than $8k like the RS3 junkyard engine

[@djneedles000]

Where did you source your engine from?

[@miguelsanchez6465]

Did IE make you guys custom pistons? What were the comp ratio on them?

[@mikeday3644]

Yes they did, these are spec'd for 9.5:1 compression

[@marshinblended1520]

what ecu you use

[@toad0720]

You have such a large open clean garage. I'm jealous. You didn't include the IE part numbers?

[@toad0720]

Changed to manal steering?

[@larsnergard]

Just curious, did you find much metal shavings in the oil passages after machining?

[@mikeday3644]

Nope, the machine shop did a good job cleaning. Still worth it to check though

[@larsnergard]

@@mikeday3644 that’s good to hear. I have recently built a 5 cyl Audi 2.2 AAN engine and I did not clean the oil passages very well after machining. Now after 4000 Km I still see small metal shavings in the oil filter and the oil have a metal tint to it when I change oil. Would it be possible for you to record the look and feel of the oil as the engine runs? Much appreciated.

[@urqua495]

Скажи, какой зазор поршень и цилиндр сделали при расточке ?

[@jenny80myles]

That's an interesting looking oil pan. Did it come from the junk yard too?

[@ecstuning]

It's from the Boost Brothers swap kit! bit.ly/3zPvjna

[@miguelsanchez6465]

Why was your valve to Piston clearance so close you had to reduce you cam advance? Would that not reduce potential performance with that extra few degrees of cam advance? Killer build!!!

[@mikeday3644]

The piston to valve clearance was tighter because of the higher lift cams. These cams should make quite a bit more power, even with a few less degrees of advance.

[@miguelsanchez6465]

[@philipschrantz8402]

It’s a weird thing, but I like the smell of assembly lube…

[@thecalvinsch]

I'm curious what Mike is going to do about the open differential. It seems like most people buy a whole transmission from certain 944 Turbo cars which came with an LSD, but that doesn't seem like Mike style. I almost wouldn't put it past him to somehow make this build AWD.

[@mikeday3644]

The N/A diff is welded in this trans. The N/A trans isn't very strong and the turbo trans is getting hard to find, so I have a 01E kicking around to swap some day.

[@urqua495]

По какой-то причине во всех мануалах по ремонту написано, что нельзя вращать коленвал с не затянутыми крышками.

[@IanB22]

No bolt stretch measurement on the rod bolts? Maybe he knew the stretch and just used the torque that got him to the stretch needed?

[@Brayan-494]

Crisscross pattern too

[@mandip1188]

my assumption is that this would require a standalone ECU - my question is, why a cable throttle over DBW?
