@@HumbleMechanic Respect for the balls to do it, but why you didn't call someone and talk to them or do some internet research first baffles me...If you're aware of the limits of the stock rods being ~400 lb ft of torque, than why not have gone with the progressive nitrous kit from the start? What about the timing/plugs? I'm sure that there's got to be at least a handful of people out there on the VW Vortex that have done similar shenanigans with similar results? I love the S4 and glad that you guys were able to pick it up and stay under budget, but it would've been much cooler to have seen the GTI vs the Civic.
I'm sure there were quite a few lessons learned, but did you guys actually take an hour or two to go scour the VW Vortex for some threads where others had made similar mistakes or installed the nitrous and used it successfully? I haven't looked myself, because I can't afford to take such a risk on my daily driven MK6 GTI, but if I were going to take such a risk I would definitely have done my due diligence and done my research ahead of time. It was entertaining, but sorely disappointing at the same time. It would have been way more entertaining had you guys successfully installed a progressive nitrous kit and been able to use the right spark plugs (probably 2 degrees colder than the original factory plugs like the guy above stated) and with or without timing having been pulled (maybe gotten a custom tune from someone reputable like Stratified).
@@whorutothink in the end this was too much power for the FSI. We were out of budget and likely to lose without the NOS. We shot a little too high though

It just needed some fresh oil but it was super high mileage and a not so awesome engine to start with and was a manual transmission which was a requirement for me way back then.

In a roll race yes. Launching cars is not easy first 60ft usually tells a lot. Although for fwd hondas generally launch fairly well. But the gti dsg can run 0-60 in about 4 seconds with tune. Ive raced a gti i out power by 100hp but 0-60 he wins.. At 70 i walk him...

They have a budget of $5k...I doubt that Civic is going to be pulling 10 second quarter miles. People act like every Honda is a 10 second car. I'd be shocked if it even got into the 12s for under $5K. They probably would have had a very good chance if they had run the nitrous in a way that it had been progressively shot instead of dumping the entire shot with the button. It was obvious to anyone with any inkling of knowledge that those factory rods weren't going to hold up to 400+ lb ft. I've got a MK6 GTI and the motor is similar to the one they blew up in that MK5. The rods are a known weak point and the off-the-shelf kits sold intentionally keep the torque down to prevent the rods from breaking.
Lol what about the ignition timing and afr. Seems like blowing it up was the plan with no tuning involved. Also when you wet spray though a intake designed to move only air distribution can become problematic. Start with a small shot, read the plugs and work your way up.
@@dustyc324 you would be suprised, i started in a euro focused rebuilding shop. got my first audi A6 for 1200$ out the door after repairs, customer sold it for 600$ to the shop. tune up, full front suspension and a used transmission computer was all it needed. body was mint, serra terra cotta chocolate brown leather and 98k on the dash.
@@rickylafleur5823 oh. thats all? lol. was it an S4? and it never broke after that? unicorn. edit. The only good part was the body. says nothing about the quality of the vehicle
Charles, Been driving through the night(for work) so been looking forward to seeing this vid since reading your post on Instagram…complete destruction like this is impressive…VERY IMPRESSIVE. Maybe the only takeaway apart from the obvious is that no one was injured physically… pride maybe dented… but that’s all. If anything it shows just how serious you guys were when it comes to wanting to WIN..
Dude!!! That motor blowing was epic!! 😂😂😂. And the automotive CSI post mortem was classic!! Let us know when you want to do a competition against a stock car! 😉
Now you got me curious as to what power levels you could've gotten on a 50 shot ramped up, then to a 100 shot ramped up. Not that the engine or even the DSG would hold those torque levels, but maybe it would've held for a few passes.
The dq250 dsg is very robust and if we’ll maintained and with the proper dsg tune would’ve held up just fine. However the engine and more specifically, bottom end does not like tq down low. 100shot was way too much of a shot to be sprayed down low and was too much of a shock. Like I said rods are a weak point in this motor so anything more than 350-400wtq and your praying to hold it together, that’s hard to do with small turbos that like to make tq down low. I personally have the same car and am deciding on what turbo to get bc I don’t want to build my motor. Cheers, sorry for long response.
This feels so deliberate .like you knew you brought a knife to a gun fight with that power to weight .they were both fwd and 4 bangers . Funny how that changed suddenly . You been working on cars long enough to know that hitting that Jetta with that abrupt hit of nitrous wasn't going to end well . Created some dramatic content and got to reset the budget now that you knew what the competition had .
This engine came from together hahaha, I have seen a few holes punched in blocks before and/or pistons hammered to death by a broken connecting rod... though this thing grenaded wow. it was together... now its not. lmao I love when he said "unintended rapid engine disassembly"
Yeah I mean the s4 was obviously way too good of a deal even with a bad trans, but it at least makes for a fun series. I mean it was pretty obvious the Civic was gonna walk the Jetta, even with nitrous anyways so
There is a lot of over valuing of a completely undriveable S4. Especially when all the details aren't there. What is teh title status? Are the wheels really worth $1500, or was it drive by feel? Hows the suspension? Is the interior what youd expect from a 3rd owner high line German car? I didn't fit really well in the pace of this video. I might show a little more going on with it in EP4. im still making those choices.
@@Sadik15B Its part manual and part automatic notice the clutch disc are burnt the fluid was over heated hence the black color and the bad smell. The fluid pressure is what locks up the clutches that was burnt so this is why a transmission cooler would be a plus and is would extend the usability oi the oil.
Its basically a parts car. To get this thing properly road worthy is going to run $8k plus. even then its still a ragged out S4. People forget how little value over high end cars have. especially when they have a serious issue. This car would have been parted out if I didn't buy it.
Some ATL locals were playing with nitrous on 1.8T cars in the early 2000's. You know, to help spool a miniscule K03 turbo faster LMAO. One of them was trying to do a dyno run with a 200 shot (I don't know if it was a 200hp kit, or if they drilled out a jet), which resulted in one of the cylinder walls splitting from the pressure and filling that hole with coolant. A piston hydrolocked and broke the rod, causing the stub on the crank end to saw a big hole in the front of the block. The resulting mess caused Dynolab to drop the ban hammer on nitrous 1.8T VW's.
Seriously, Nitrous? Something that these cars are less than known for, and you try it with no experience 🤦♂️ 250-ish whp with a K04 shows that something is obviously with your power delivery. You could have spend that money better on a cheap intercooler, intake, and boost delivery piping, then you would probably would have gotten closer to the numbers you expected. That, or a 100+ octane tune (or w/m) would have been a more reliable route. I guess it's a good lesson of what NOT to do 🤣🤣🤣 Hopefully the Audi is a better option in the end.
@@jmccann6735 So after watching the nitrous video that Shop DAP posted, it seems they were already setup for nitrous when they went to the dyno; they were already committed to going full-send. Still, I would have at least started with the minimum amount listed on the chart for the injector nozzles to try to minimize the risk. It was sad to see that engine vomit and $h*t its insides out, but entertaining at least.
The fact that your a VW master tech. Everything you do is done right and your on your second car. I would say you've already lost to JDM power hahaha ,but hey you've lapped then in the awsome beard race 🏁😉
yeah here in germany we get 400HP out of a BPY engine without NOS... working on flowrestrictions and reprogramming the ECU is the main approach here, and obviusly the stock turbo has to go.
Nitrous is fine, but you have to be smart about it. Always run it with a tune for nitrous, and have the slow ramp up etc etc, hitting it too low in the rpms does crazy things to cylinder pressures iirc.
@@MeltingRubberZ28 sock bottom end with no added ring gap? a 360lb/ft hit at 3000rpm with already increased boost pressure, i would think there is some dice being rolled
@@diesel-technology5507 I guess I would assume the motor already has a decent ring gap since it is boosted from the factory, but that's an interesting perspective. If it was NA and you went turbo+nitrous that's a different story, at least IMO. However this wasn't a ringland failure anyway, the motor simply couldn't produce the torque and snapped the rod. Typically too small of a gap blows the bottom of the piston off.
@@MeltingRubberZ28 yeah the rings didn't pinch in this particualr situation, i was talking about the ls1 engines, but apples and oranges anyway. i would have thought the bottom end would have been up to the challenge in all respects given it was boosted, ring gap, rod strenght....given the stock fuel pumps are literally rated to 250 crank hp or there abouts, i would assume the bottom end might have only been designed to support that too. danger city when adding nitrous lol
I used to own the S4 V8 and that thing was so heavy, but so much fun to drive. A weight loss plan or diet, strip it of the heavier interior pieces is going to go a long way for you then trying to make more power.

These have been awesome to watch, looking forward to the next one!
Lol what about the ignition timing and afr. Seems like blowing it up was the plan with no tuning involved. Also when you wet spray though a intake designed to move only air distribution can become problematic. Start with a small shot, read the plugs and work your way up.
that part talking about FnF with the opponent over skype was so damn funny i laughed a lot. this series is really nice!
$1500 for an S4.. thats crazy.
Imported to the EU, it would go for at least 15k when fixed
yeah. a car like that isn't $1500 needing a only a $1k transmission
The trans I got quoted was like $3000. Lol I’d have bought a While replacement for 1k. Lol
@@dustyc324 you would be suprised, i started in a euro focused rebuilding shop. got my first audi A6 for 1200$ out the door after repairs, customer sold it for 600$ to the shop. tune up, full front suspension and a used transmission computer was all it needed. body was mint, serra terra cotta chocolate brown leather and 98k on the dash.
@@HumbleMechanic throwing any codes?
@@rickylafleur5823 oh. thats all? lol. was it an S4? and it never broke after that? unicorn.
edit. The only good part was the body. says nothing about the quality of the vehicle
Charles, Been driving through the night(for work) so been looking forward to seeing this vid since reading your post on Instagram…complete destruction like this is impressive…VERY IMPRESSIVE. Maybe the only takeaway apart from the obvious is that no one was injured physically… pride maybe dented… but that’s all. If anything it shows just how serious you guys were when it comes to wanting to WIN..
Loving this series of vids 😍
Dude!!! That motor blowing was epic!! 😂😂😂. And the automotive CSI post mortem was classic!! Let us know when you want to do a competition against a stock car! 😉
Now you got me curious as to what power levels you could've gotten on a 50 shot ramped up, then to a 100 shot ramped up. Not that the engine or even the DSG would hold those torque levels, but maybe it would've held for a few passes.
The dq250 dsg is very robust and if we’ll maintained and with the proper dsg tune would’ve held up just fine. However the engine and more specifically, bottom end does not like tq down low. 100shot was way too much of a shot to be sprayed down low and was too much of a shock. Like I said rods are a weak point in this motor so anything more than 350-400wtq and your praying to hold it together, that’s hard to do with small turbos that like to make tq down low. I personally have the same car and am deciding on what turbo to get bc I don’t want to build my motor. Cheers, sorry for long response.
4:30 😂😂😂 it was though!
This here is exactly what "euro" + "budget" looks like.
Yummy!!! that's a tasty steel barbeque with some oil sauce to match in that oil pan.
This feels so deliberate .like you knew you brought a knife to a gun fight with that power to weight .they were both fwd and 4 bangers . Funny how that changed suddenly . You been working on cars long enough to know that hitting that Jetta with that abrupt hit of nitrous wasn't going to end well . Created some dramatic content and got to reset the budget now that you knew what the competition had .
Nah, we had no idea the car they had when we went to the dyno.
Charles' master tech skills being put to the test with a time constraints. This is awesome.
This one happened to a 1.2 Renault Clio I had, I wasn't running NOS. I was running on zero oil 😆🤣😂
god dam that transmission is HUUUGE
This engine came from together hahaha, I have seen a few holes punched in blocks before and/or pistons hammered to death by a broken connecting rod... though this thing grenaded wow. it was together... now its not. lmao I love when he said "unintended rapid engine disassembly"
Always tune your nitrous kids!
Noooooooo that is really unlucky. I'm still very excited for the finale. Great video man!
So hold on... For $5000 you bought a car, rebuilt the engine, AND upgraded the turbo, AND NOS'd it?! Wow, since when did it all become so cheap?
I know. When I was in highschool couldn't even get a car running for much less than 4k
Used parts, DIY labor, and buying a broken car LOL
@@HumbleMechanic 🤣😂 well said!
Okay, this is one of the coolest videos and I hope it does really well. Thank you for posting! :)
You guys rock.
Love learning about all this stuff.
You guys totally got hooked up. No one else can get a B8 S4 for 1500, even in the shape yours is in..
89 Civic vs a 2009 B8 S4? Come on.
It’s what tom paid fir it.
Yeah finding that s4 in that shape and miles needing what it needs for 1500 is a very unusual find.
Yeah I mean the s4 was obviously way too good of a deal even with a bad trans, but it at least makes for a fun series.
I mean it was pretty obvious the Civic was gonna walk the Jetta, even with nitrous anyways so
Connections, bro.
There is a lot of over valuing of a completely undriveable S4. Especially when all the details aren't there. What is teh title status? Are the wheels really worth $1500, or was it drive by feel? Hows the suspension? Is the interior what youd expect from a 3rd owner high line German car?
I didn't fit really well in the pace of this video. I might show a little more going on with it in EP4. im still making those choices.
7:15 This is why it's almost impossible to build a race car on a budget
An S4 for that money? Bruh, you won' find one for like 10k EUR in Germany😅
With 240000 miles/386000 km?
That price was way to low… the shop guy gave them a special deal
@@isaactrockman4417 nah it’s not I got a 2011 s4 for 2,000 just needed some suspension work and a dsg service
That’s the good thing about America, cheap insurance and cheap cars.
@@mercury0214 They are basically parts cars when they get bad DSG issues.
"We have inside parts that have become outside parts..." 😂 that shit had me rolling
I would put an external trans cooler on this with a fan when drag racing this thing.
Why? It hasnt got a torq convertor.
The transmission is just an automated manual
@@Sadik15B Its part manual and part automatic notice the clutch disc are burnt the fluid was over heated hence the black color and the bad smell. The fluid pressure is what locks up the clutches that was burnt so this is why a transmission cooler would be a plus and is would extend the usability oi the oil.
@@Sadik15B No, its not automatic in that why it automatic in the way the gears are selected
The clutch pack is pressured this part is like a conventional automatic transmission nothing else.
@@coatingsplatingsjas1powder557 clutch burns because the pressure isnt high enough to prevent slipping.
That video was an emotional and mechanical rollercoaster. Love the series.
Two part pistons are all the rage these days.
Great vid, thanks!
This race is already over. The civic will still win spinning every gear.
Hahah
The glitter/metal confetti in the pick up is something to behold.
b8 s4 vs that civic isn't even gonna be fair lol those with dual pulley and tune can run 11s easily on a good wheel set up lol
That civc will be fast!
"Unintended rapid engine disassembly" LMFAO you are the best dude 👍🤣
How the hell do you find an S4 for 1500 bucks?
Friends with benefits 😁
@@corbanlee8157 Feels kind of like cheating a bit if youre buying a car from a friend for way below the marketvalue
I bought the cheapest S4 in the USA…
Its basically a parts car. To get this thing properly road worthy is going to run $8k plus. even then its still a ragged out S4. People forget how little value over high end cars have. especially when they have a serious issue. This car would have been parted out if I didn't buy it.
Some ATL locals were playing with nitrous on 1.8T cars in the early 2000's. You know, to help spool a miniscule K03 turbo faster LMAO.
One of them was trying to do a dyno run with a 200 shot (I don't know if it was a 200hp kit, or if they drilled out a jet), which resulted in one of the cylinder walls splitting from the pressure and filling that hole with coolant. A piston hydrolocked and broke the rod, causing the stub on the crank end to saw a big hole in the front of the block.
The resulting mess caused Dynolab to drop the ban hammer on nitrous 1.8T VW's.
I learned a lot in this video...
*Q*-How do you make a 2.0FSI fast for cheap?
*A*-Trash it and buy a 3.0T(S?)
They could've done methanol for like 500 bucks and been completely fine at 400hp! So sad, I was excited to see the GLI stomp that Honda 😆
@@jmccann6735 I was curious why they didn’t go meth, maybe they were just 2 Fast 2 Furious!!!
We opted for n2o pretty early on. Meth was on. The table for sure too
@@HumbleMechanic was the 100 shot the plan from the start? Ha ha
No that was stupid game time choices. HAHA
Never heard someone be so happy about absolutely toasted clutches
Mostly happy to find something definitely wrong. Transmission diag can be inconclusive. He sure was happy!
Notification squad!👍🏻
YASSS!
Great work, and great information dude. It would be awesome to see the wiring harness footage.
Oh hey. Nitrous failure? I think hoovie knows a thing or two about blowing up a car with naws
LoL he was so happy disassembling the engine
Pretty typical for a euro car to blow through the budget twice.
This is the way.
Look at it this way, you created a WINDOW of opportunity!
Seriously, Nitrous? Something that these cars are less than known for, and you try it with no experience 🤦♂️
250-ish whp with a K04 shows that something is obviously with your power delivery. You could have spend that money better on a cheap intercooler, intake, and boost delivery piping, then you would probably would have gotten closer to the numbers you expected. That, or a 100+ octane tune (or w/m) would have been a more reliable route.
I guess it's a good lesson of what NOT to do 🤣🤣🤣
Hopefully the Audi is a better option in the end.
Exactly!! They should've went straight to figuring out what was wrong after dyno day
@@jmccann6735 So after watching the nitrous video that Shop DAP posted, it seems they were already setup for nitrous when they went to the dyno; they were already committed to going full-send. Still, I would have at least started with the minimum amount listed on the chart for the injector nozzles to try to minimize the risk.
It was sad to see that engine vomit and $h*t its insides out, but entertaining at least.
Yep. the bottle was on the car before we went to the dyno. But I couldn't give away all the goodies. :)
The fact that your a VW master tech. Everything you do is done right and your on your second car. I would say you've already lost to JDM power hahaha ,but hey you've lapped then in the awsome beard race 🏁😉
And *this* is why I've never been a fan of NOS
yeah here in germany we get 400HP out of a BPY engine without NOS... working on flowrestrictions and reprogramming the ECU is the main approach here, and obviusly the stock turbo has to go.
Nitrous is fine, but you have to be smart about it. Always run it with a tune for nitrous, and have the slow ramp up etc etc, hitting it too low in the rpms does crazy things to cylinder pressures iirc.
That’s one GIGANTIC transmission ya got there charles
Who actually activities nitrous at 3500rpm though 😅
3000 all day on an LS1
@@MeltingRubberZ28 sock bottom end with no added ring gap? a 360lb/ft hit at 3000rpm with already increased boost pressure, i would think there is some dice being rolled
p.s. 360lb/ft i calculated at 25hp per cylinder (same as with the 4 cylinder)
@@diesel-technology5507 I guess I would assume the motor already has a decent ring gap since it is boosted from the factory, but that's an interesting perspective. If it was NA and you went turbo+nitrous that's a different story, at least IMO. However this wasn't a ringland failure anyway, the motor simply couldn't produce the torque and snapped the rod. Typically too small of a gap blows the bottom of the piston off.
@@MeltingRubberZ28 yeah the rings didn't pinch in this particualr situation, i was talking about the ls1 engines, but apples and oranges anyway. i would have thought the bottom end would have been up to the challenge in all respects given it was boosted, ring gap, rod strenght....given the stock fuel pumps are literally rated to 250 crank hp or there abouts, i would assume the bottom end might have only been designed to support that too. danger city when adding nitrous lol
I was thoroughly entertained. That motor blowing up was EPIC
Look mate, I'm no mechanic, but I reckon that engine is fucked aye
nahh it just needs some duct tape and good epoxy! 🤪
Damn, fluid master. That pour was to die for. I used to be a pour master, but I stopped filling heavy equipment from diesel cans long ago lol.
This series should be called "is a poorly built japanese car more reliable than any vw/audi product?"
We know what the answer is 🚗
I think you should have taken the orange type II on the left at 5:37 and k-swapped it with turbo 😂😂😂
Awesome series!!! 👌 need a season 2 and someone needs to bring an American Car
The most S4RW thing I've seen in a while. Respect!
I used to own the S4 V8 and that thing was so heavy, but so much fun to drive. A weight loss plan or diet, strip it of the heavier interior pieces is going to go a long way for you then trying to make more power.
I feel your pain, yet, I can't contain this one: Dom: too early son - eclipse: blows gasket
I like that jacking table, that's pretty slick!
I've never seen someone so excited to see a bunch of burnt up clutches
