  • When building a big turbo 1.8t from a VW/Audi there are lots of different variations, but does it really matter? So which 1.8t is the right one to build?

I don't know the power of the car but runs very nice. The n/a cams from adr can keep the power higher and it's a good and cheap mod. Your informations are good and you know 20vt engine.

    The AEB has a cast crank, Agu, bam, apy, aum, amk, bjx, Bex all are forged cranks but there are mush more forged. Aeb and Agu are big port. But on my bam small port head I could easily make 500hp. I also went to stainless steel exzhost valves. Stock pistons are very strong.

  • @Dap-Racing
    @Dap-Racing Před rokem +10

    Awesome video guys!
    One note for anyone that is curious. with an aeb block if you go with forged rods you need to grind down a small portion of the inside of the block(intake side) to clear the cylinder 2 rod. If you go with a aba crank in an aeb block you need to remove about 60% of the intermediate shaft gear in order to clear cylinder 4 rod. I have pictures and measurements if anyone needs them.

    Awesome video !! What would be the 1.8T engine to go if, like in my case, you want to upgrade from a 1.4TSI (CAXA) exchange-wise? Are there parts I can use from my CAXA to build on the 1.8T? Is there a better fit for a 20V compared to a 16V? I know the airco compressor can be re-used. The power I have in mind is just what's achievable with a good reflash of the chip, as it's a road car and I want reliability.

    @4BillC Před rokem +5

    What exhaust valves are better than stock and not $1000 for a set? Currently building a 1.8T with a goal of 350-400whp but more is definitely welcome. Capable of 8000rpm "safely" so springs are a must but I really want this to be a cheap dirty rebuild. Don't judge me! Nothing is going to a machine shop, it's getting a ball hone and new bearings, rods, springs and apparently exhaust valve. Again don't judge me, I have kids and I'm broke!

    • @daleevans9029

Is it worth me poking around and finding an aeb head if I'm gonna build one?

    On the subject of pistons. I'm assuming new OEM pistons with aftermarket rods would be more advisable than using the old pistons out of my 205k mile engine.

      To many variables.
      Small port is good up to 450bhp but even then people have used a small port over 600bhp
      The real difference will be small port flows better down low in the revs due to port velocity
      The large port flows better up high revs due to port size and volume over the small port

  • @aleksandaraleksandrov8213

    This is very difficult topic, essentially all 20vt are the same but very different when you start comparing engine codes. You should consider engine code when you are going to run stock ECU because thats were the biggest difference is. Some come with narrowband, some with wideband, cable throttle, drive by wire etc etc. Proven combination for low budget sub 500hp is 225hp(if you have later model 150 or 180 with me7.5 just buy a second hand 20mm wristpins pistons) to start with because it has the 20mm wristpin, me7.5 ECU. Buy a set of rods and exhaust valves and thats about it. Turbo choises are endless, very good solution for turbo is a k04-064 from next gen S3 with adapter plate that will give you about 400hp with spool from 2500rpm.

      @MrOki419 Hi, depending on what you would like to do with the car. If you want nice easy to drive quick street car, definitely the k04-064 is the way to go. Rods are a must as well as exhaust valves. Also, you will need a minimum of 630cc injectors, bosch 044, or equivalent fuel pump and decent size bar and plate intercooler with at least 2.5" pipework to go with it, 3" downpipe with ideally 3" catback system and a very good tuner who could make work of the hardware on the stock me7.5 ecu.
