This is my first post and I know a lot of this has been covered a lot, but there are many opinions floating around and its hard to make a final decision. I picked up a '90 tsi with 34k original miles. Rot and dent free which was the only reason why I picked it up, I just couldn't pass it by. I drive a full bolt on '14 Evo that I love to death but would love to rev that thing more. I don't wanna blow up my 36k car and since the engine was already out of the tsi the build is on.
I have gone through the whole build in my head and on paper just to make sure everything is going to go ok the first time. here is the list FWIW
wiseco 1400hd 10.5 comp (e85 build) .20 over- machine shop has torque plate to get cylinders 100% round
crower I-beams-still not set on these, will research aluminum rods better.
acl tri meatal bearings
arp main studs
kiggly griddle
l19 head studs
not decided on mls gasket, oem or cometic?
kelford 272's
super tech dual springs or kiggly behives
Now I have read of the head over filling issues caused by pump over 8k rpms. kiggly HLA is deffinatly on the list, as well as the oil return mod on the head and planning on running the block vent breather system.
I'd like to know the best way to deal with potential gforce sloshing in the oil pan causing cavitation. It seems like an aftermarket oil pan like moroso is a logical answer, but at 500-600 bux id like to make sure its going to do its job and protect my engine as much as possible.i have also seen the tomei baffle and "oil cutter" kits sold, which seem very promising, but does anyone know if those will fit with the kiggley griddle?
im shooting for 600awhp, as reliably as 600awhp can be.im not trying to run a 5500 dollar dry sump setup, just trying to get the best oil system setup for a reasonable price.I already have in hand fb black turbo, fp manifold, full buschur dp and exhaust, and ecm link v3. Id love to hear from some of the guys that have gone this route. The plan is to drive this car to the track 1hr away and back about 4-5 a year but mainly have fun with it on the street.
