Recommended Posts

I've had this car for about a month now, I originally bought it with a blown up rb26 with twin high mount td05s and I'm now in the progress of building a 30/26... Aiming for 600hp and 10 seconds all while maintaining street rego and drive ability

Here it is as I picked it up post-133412-14209740817818_thumb.jpgpost-133412-14209740978621_thumb.jpg

After nearly a month of owning it here's how the engine bay looks now after tucking the wiring and removing a lot of unnecessary shit, stripped all the aircon from behind the dash and completely removed the hicaspost-133412-14209742151366_thumb.jpg

Wondering if anybody could message me or give me a rough idea on these turbos... They're td05-16g I'm getting some pretty decent head porting o/s valves and cams... I'm chasing 600hp and decent response and I'm thinking these will be too small for what I'm after...

Those turbos have made around the 400rwkw mark on ~20 psi on the 2.6 with a fair amount of lag though, Will overcome that somewhat with the 3 litre but theres a lot better choice of turbo out there at the moment. Seeing as they have been on a blown up motor have you had them checked? oil starvation usually effects turbos first...depending on what caused the engine to pop they could be no good.

Either way will be awesome to see this beast going!

    • New R34 owned here (from the US) and found a gem, '98 GTT with ~6k miles, super clean & completely stock. When shifting there's no grinding, shifts smooth, etc. The concern I have are 2 things: 1) Only in 2nd and 3rd... when maintaining a slower speed (in traffic as an example) as I let off/on the gas, the shifter will slightly move and vibrate. If the clutch is engaged, none of this happens. It's not bad, but enough to feel like something isn't necessarily right. 2) This mainly happen in 4th or 5th... the shifter slightly bounces up and down, almost like it's riding on unbalanced tires (and I do think the tires are unbalanced as I get a little of that bounce feel at higher speeds, which is maybe why it only happens in 4th/5th). Lastly, and sorry for this noob question but I want to work on this car myself, can someone teach me some on these manual transmissions? Like servicing them, best products to use, etc.; would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
    • Coilovers aren't even the first step. Bushes, subframe position and alignment, HICAS elimination, adjustable upper arms and traction arms in order to dial out understeer. All these things need/deserve attention first. ARBs (There's no such thing as a swaybar. Please, everybody, stop calling them that) are useful if you want to limit spring stiffness. Otherwise you can control body roll with springs. Spring and damper rates are a function of road surface, speed and usage. There is no solution that works for all cases.
    • Define "nothing". Is the starter spinning but not the engine? Engine turning but not firing? If the engine is turning but not firing, then you are missing either fuel or spark. You need to find whichever has gone missing.
    • Shitbox Tiguan updates, got the APR OTS tune put back on (no charge for it to be removed/added back), didn't want to just come in just for that (not a fan of wasting people's time for nothing) so I purchased an APR dog bone insert. The boys at German Performance Garage said they would fit it for free too since they had 1x hoist free. Now that's service you don't normally get from most workshops. Anyhow, tune back on, snow grate pulled out, dog bone insert back in and not going to lie, a few smiles when I nailed it around the industrial area heading back onto the M7. Amayama also said 1 to 2.5 month wait for the RB25DE heater hose, yeah why not, car has been off the road for nearly 3, what's a other 2.5?
    • Hmm I'm going to approach this from the other side... What is the car doing that you don't like or what would you like the car to do that is currently isn't doing (handling wise that is)
