95 TSI AWD Build Named Bloo

[bradselph]

very nice build and awesome looking car. Keep up the good work and glad to here that you have not lost motivation as most would have! sub'd

Thanks, i have bigger plans for the car once i get over not wanting to strip or cut things off it simply because its just in too good of shape besides the paint.

I'm not sure what caused the lock up other than some side loading in the oil pump case, I had no signs of oil starvation on the bearings or anywhere else, and had good oil pressure the entire time. The pump did have helical gears, now I'm running straight cut gears.

The builds tab well... I stopped counting that a long time ago.

Now you made me think real hard. I have straight cut oil pump gears in my melling oil pump

I hear ya on the build tab . Just for shits and giggles a couple months ago I added the stuff up for my talon and came up with 1k for the car and 7k in mods with probably another 5-7k to go hahaha

when you bled your 3g lifters, how did you go about doing it? I just bought a set for when I fix my valve stem seals and want to do everything right the first time

I do have a folder that's a few inches thick with receipts.

i just filled a small bowl with some motor oil and placed them in it, then take a small pin and press inside the lifter with it to bleed them and i just pump them up and down till im satisfied all the air is out then install.

Awesome thats what ill do then! Thanks man! What kind of pin do you use and which hole do you put it in? The side hole down low or the top hole?

Anything stiff small and long enough to fit in the top hole. i used a small allen key.

Small update.

Went to the local 1/8th mile drag strip to work out a few things and see how much it has improved from my avg 7.7 around 95mph times.

First pass off the trailer netted me a 7.4 at 104mph pass

Everything looked good on the log so i upped the boost from the low 28psi to about 32psi, and prepared to bring a 6.9 slip home, sadly did my sick little awd burnout then lined up and launched nice then boom, left rear axle has broken


So now im home waiting till tomorrow to access the total damage.

Well last time i updated this i broke the car so ima tell you wgat broke and what times i run at the 1/4 mile track today.

The parts i broke from the 1/8th mile include the stock 2 spider center diff and a driver side rear axle.

Luckily enough of the center diff survived that i could weld it up.

After fixing all that i prepared for a even called fl2k13 at bradenton motorsports park.

The first run off the trailer i rolled off the line because i never ran the car hard after the rear axle and center diff broke.

Rolling out gave me a 12.5 at 131mph boost was 30 psi.

Next pass i launched good and pulled a 11.07 at 133

I was running in a 11.50 index class so i turned the boost down from 30psi to about 28psi, run again and launched great with a insane 1.61 60 foot and let off at about the 1k foot mark to pull a 10.9 at 124

I am very happy to get that first 10 second pass now, but not at that moment.

After that i decided to leave the boost at 28 and try and let out sooner, launched with a 1.72 60 foot let off and even hit the brakes about the 1k foot mark for a 11.1 at 109

I then decided to drop the boost way down for eliminations, i dont know what boost it was because i broke the front passenger side axle.

So maybe next time after i fix whats broke AGAIN i will get some passes in where im not limited by a index.

Saw that you were parting out the car. Are you parting the awd drivetrain?
