100% you should get the machine shop to grub screw the crank, even just that light linish you did will create crap in the oil galleries; the cost of another rebuild is no way worth the risk

A lot of it is over stated I think, BUT, measure/check everything, again and again, and if something isn't right, find out why. 

You already seem to have a good handle on it and people around you, starting from a better point than me I think (didn't own a micrometer etc). 
 

Don't own shit, all the measuring tools are on loan. Definitely is a massive help, otherwise I probably wouldn't have even contemplated doing all this. I also have access to a bore dial gauge in a lab environment that they won't let me borrow but can use. I'm going to use that one to check the bores on the maxpeeding rods. Let's see how they go.

If not, there's a guy that's willing to sell his built RB25DET NEO with full cold/hot side and he'll throw in a working car too LOL

The price is only 1x M3 Competition. 

Why not just have both..

Because inflation. 

Unrelated but what should I replace Mondeo with? 

2016-17 era Passat R Line - AWD/FWD, DSG, turbo 2L 200kw (will add tune), more modern safety tech/features, use less fuel, probably faster once tuned, but maybe more euro headaches/repairs/issues because turbo and euro? 

or 

2014 era Lexus IS350 F Sport - RWD, 8 spd conventional auto, 2GR NA v6 bulletproof engine, use more fuel, but probably never need any repairs (I have a 1GR in my Prado and it's bulletproof), but less exciting to drive maybe, maybe slower? I will likely tune it too. Maybe bit wanker image (I have to go see IT business clients in whatever i am using for tmy school run car). 


Both will be 25-28k, with 70-90ks or so


Thanks

Out of those 2 definitely is350f if you don't want vw problems. The vw will be faster, not sure about nicer. Not sure on the reliability of that particular VW. I know the golf mk7 R is pretty reliable other than water pump.

VW for fasts, Lexus for stress free motoring. Hope I helped, lol.

clearly the answer to that question is V37 hybrid. Right price, good on fuel, goes good

That is not 25-28k with under 100ks on it...

Holy thread derailment batman!

You can totally grub screw the crank yourself if you are looking to save time / money, just use a bit of care and NPT taps.

I have broken an NPT tap off in a crank before, it wasn't fun to remove. Make a basic slide hammer out of a bit of all thread the plugs are not that tight (which always surprises me).

The other option is just get one of these, then you won't have to waste time.

Yeah I think I'm going to try the grub screwing with the help of the machinist at work to save some $. 

Do they do snap on style payment plans for those crank? Might make it doable 😂

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
