- We're back on the AWD conversion MK5 GTI TSI, this time working on the engine rebuild. Most of the parts have arrived and it's time to get this thing back up and running. The parts list is very long for this one and we're looking to stretch it's legs a bit further than we had before.

Such an underrated channel
Agreed
These comments keep us going, thanks.
Can say I’ve driven in this car before the AWD and it was wild! This thing will be an absolute weapon on the track moving forward. Well done Dave and CO! Keep us updated!
Yeah it was very fun before, one of my favorites actually. Amazing street car.
Nice build with quality stuff. Can't go wrong with JE Pistons and virtually anything I've ever seen from IE is top-notch. Can't wait to see the custom tubular Mani!!👍😎
Ill be rebuilding my engine, semi similar to this in nearly 2 years, when I get back from a deployment overseas
Ty for your service and hopefully those two years will fly by so u can come home and build up your vw
Hope you're early
How we looking
@@ryanthomas7959 not quite the same build, had other things come up and didn’t get to build the bottom end
Can't wait to see that turbo manifold you're going to build I know it's going to be beautiful! Excellent work as usual! 🙏
Hell yeah guys, good job on getting things done, can’t wait to see this thing rippin, I’m sure the customer is going to be happy!
Will be following this closely as I’m building my mk5 TSI as well. Hoping for 5-600whp
Been following this channel for a while now; very nicely put together. Found my way here when I realised the orange 16vT Rabbit was yours. Love the content: this show in particular has certainly brightened up a grey UK day. Cheers.
Much appreciated. The mk1 will be back. 👍
Love the video, as usual. I don’t want to sound ungrateful for seeing this for free, it’s just that this one seemed way to short considering this is a long awaited update, at least for me.
Yeah, the trans build was gonna be part of this, however we opted to just get a video out as we weren't sure when the parts for the trans would arrive... they arrived today. lol So there will be another update within the week I suspect.
@@COMotorsports yessss, can’t wait!
Yessss!!!!! Awd back 🙏✅✅✅✅
Co be doing it!!!
You make this look so easy!!!
I just took one of these motors out and swapped with another one,wow what a job!!! Unbelievable,I can’t beleave how they did the water pumps on these cars!
Nice work!
Yes!!!
Although I don’t know what province you’re in I can tell your out east, accent lol. You’re doing awesome work. Thank you
😊 thank you
This is great! Just was thinking as to what it would take to convert my 6sp CC to all wheel drive... then I find this.
I'll be watching ALL your videos... You're giving me ideas...
Thanks!
Can’t wait to see what you guys do to the trans! I wish VW’s had shorter gears from
Factory
Another awesome video guys, cant wait to see this car come together!
Us too!
i love this channel, it makes me think that i could handle some upgrades in my garage. not this one though lol
Thanks
Interested cause I’m building a Gen 3 tsi mk7 motor with the integrated exhaust manifold into the cylinder head…. Also will be cool to see the manifold y’all end up fabbinn up.
Thought that manifold didn't fit mk7 1.8ts
Anyway we could get a full parts list on the awd swap? I'd love to start collecting the parts needed so i can make some real power with the car
Watch the video series, it's all in there.
Awesome!
My mk6 would love these upgrades :D
We can make it happen
Are you using aftermarket main caps on these big turbo builds Thanks Barney
99% of the time no.
Hey, you never talked about the piston ring end gap, what gap did you keep ?
Specific to each build. So nothing worth chatting about.
You guys obviously know what your talking about so I have a question, I wanted to RS3 swap my 2.5 MK6 Jetta but a used engine is $15k with a ECM and no trans so I'm gonna buy a $500 2.5 but before I build it I was wondering if I could use the head, intake manifold, and turbo manifold off a RS3 on a non turbo 2.5? I'm putting rods and .20 over pistons in the block and it's cheaper to buy a RS3 top end than to buy the IE intake manifold, have my head ported and get cams for it and have a custom turbo manifold made that's why I'm wondering
And do you think I should and could safely go up more than one size on my pistons, I was gonna go .20 over to be safe but if I can go a little bigger safely I will
And do you think I should and could safely go up more than one size on my pistons, I was gonna go .20 over to be safe but if I can go a little bigger safely I will
I'm doing the same swap in my daily. Don't overcomplicate it. It all comes down to how much power you want. If it's 3-400whp then just use a stock engine with the right turbo setup. If you want more, just do rods and pistons. It will make power without question.
@@COMotorsports what do you think about throwing boost at a used engine, I'm going for around 400hp, you think a used engine would handle it without doing anything to the bottom end? I'm already doing a hard gasket and front and rear main seals and timing chain/water pump because to my engine in my car what else should I do? Do the cams that they make for the 2.5 or the IE intake manifold benefit me in any way if I'm going turbo? This is also my daily and the first new car I've ever bought so I wanna do it right
@@COMotorsports also love to see a video on your daily, we need more good 2.5 content... ECS was doing the swap in a 914 but they made one video and it's been months with nothing else and all the other videos are "what a 2.5 sounds like" 30 second sound clips basically
i want to do a 4 heel conversion--can you explain the code changes have access to a MK5 R32 FOR PARTS for my MK6 GTI
it's different for every car, and depends on the specific modules in that car.
Have you rebuilt any of these 2.0t after timing failure? 80k on it, just wondering if the block likely needs work or if I can just rebuild it without having to get the block/head machined
Engine failure is generally unique to itself. There are so many factors, how and when it failed can change the overall damage. You can't say anything for certain until you open it up and see what damage has been caused.
Did you just bottom out the studs on the block?
If you're referring to head studs...yes finger tight.
Hi I have a mk6 with a hpa k04 all of the supporting mods for it and I just put on a IE manifold and I have a meth kit but I never put it on because I am running IE tune and it’s not for meth I was wondering how I can hook it up and not blow my motor or how to run port injection instead and also if putting a bigger turbo on it I would have to build the whole motor. Thanks
Port injection is not an easy feet on mk6. The stock ECU can not control port injectors. Stick with the water meth setup. Stock engines good for ~400whp so you have room to go from a k04.
I have a question. I did all new timing chain on my 2.0T a while back but had a real hard time with the crank pulley. Every time I took the bolt out to put the pulley on the gear would move. I had to leave the tensioner pinned until I had the crank pulley on and then tension the chain? Would you have any clue what I did wrong, or be able to put it in a video when you pull that bolt out to put the pulley on?
If you take the crank pulley off, put the bolt back in to hold the chain drive attached to the crankshaft. Otherwise the crank can turn and the chain drive stay in place or vice versa. With the bolt in hand tight and holding everything together, you can pull the pin
@@etunedmk4 but with chains and cover on and tensioned, how do you pull the bolt back off to put the pulley on without it moving? As his sits in the video, like I did mine, when I pulled the crank bolt out to put the pulley on (that bolt is what holds the pulley) the timing gear would be pulled to the exhaust side of the engine and up just a hair.
I've got a MK6 with CTS Turbo's K04-X hybrid turbo kit. I'm in the states and running 93 octane. I'm running out of fuel around 6K rpms with the oem low pressure/high pressure fuel pump. I'm around 90% duty cycle on the low pressure pump. Would you suggest going with water-meth to supplement the low pressure fuel pump or should I aim to install a larger fuel pump? I've read that you can use a pump from the S4/RS3/etc, but it requires modifying the ecu. What are your thoughts/suggestions?
Watermeth provides lots of benefits but also brings things outside the stock ECU meaning more room for errors. We usually do LPFP in these and sometimes LPFP module as well depending on what the vehicle is used for.
I’d suggest one of the Precision race works drop in LPFPs.
Will need upgraded module or fuel pump ground mod for it though
@@Ethan007Hacks Yeah, I believe that anything larger than the oem low pressure fuel pump will draw more current than the ecu can handle and will therefore require the 'fuel pump ground' mod. Thanks for sharing. I haven't heard of Precision Race Works before. I'll look into them!
@@whorutothink yep. I’m running their drop in walboro 535 kit but I had to modify the fuel pump ground so the module wouldn’t overheat. Holding off on buying a PM4 until I get the built engine in
FROM 2014 CC R LIN2.0 tsi can I swap the engine TO 2014 Passat TSI 1.8
why wv never made a powerful version of the ea888 gen2? and jump from ea113 to ea888 gen3 on golf r/ S3. What is it weak point?
The MK6 R was an FSI... so not the same engine at all. But the Gen1/2 EA888 were only slightly different and are good for around 400whp.
2/22/22 LUCKY
I will one day own a built 2.0 tsi I stg
I just bought mk6 with a rod knock and the piston was touching the head and just did a full bottom end rebuild and swap. How come you didn't do all mew guides?
Because the engine has low kms, and there's no need.
@@COMotorsports we replace them by time, being over 10 years old just a good peace of mind for me, but if they hold up thats definitely nice to know that there's nothing to worry about. I've only seen the small one between the cams break
What ratio on piston gap rings u go ?? 0.0050 0.0055 or ?
All depends on piston manufacture, bore size, what the engines being used for and power goals. Not a straight cut answer.
@@COMotorsportscan u help me to choose ?? Ia have JE pistom pro seal rings with JE pistons too i want go maximum 500hp but on paper with piston rings are High performance category and street moderate turbo/nitrous i dont know which is better its street car and i want make it safe more than oem bcs one of oem pistons died but bore stay 82.5
@@marekkosa4111 It's all based on bore, turbo used (how much boost), and overall power goals. My suggestion would be to follow whatever JE recommends on their sheet.
@@COMotorsports i understant i have stock turbo and on sheet are only category and numbers nothing about those categs.. , i have stock turbo yet 82.50mm bore and if i want go for bigger turbo i need to change rings then or ??
Do you use a tune through the ecu to control the extra injectors or is there a separate controller for them. This is the step I've been stuck at. Can you do this through maestro?
Definitely can't be done through Maestro, this car is going on Syvecs standalone. One of the very few that can control direct port injectors.
We ran megasquirt on my set up built motor ported head +1mm valves on both sides juat like they did 1000cc id on top golf r on bottom 2 535 pumps it was not enough cams tapped out so sold all off it n n doing k24/dsg on fuel tech for real powaaaa
I've been long awaiting this exact content to guide me if I want to go further than stage 3. If I were to run an ie manifold on the car at stage 3 would it make much of a difference?
Maybe someone but not tons. The difference comes in when you're doing dIrect port water meth or want to run a second set of injectors.
Good job. What is the 2.0 tsi ea888 gen2 head limit for make crazy hp?
Fueling is a problem before the engine becomes a problem.
Yes i know, after high fuel pump and injectors upgrade wtaht is stock head limit of ea888 gen2 engine? Nobody talk about head limit 😊
@@vitomelchionno6225 It's because it's not an issue that pretty much anyone's going to run into. It's a decent flowing head, and people have made a lot of power on much crappier cylinder heads.
Part 7, where are the other parts videos?
Fr using this as a guide bro and no updates or anything
I think some company just came out with a new intake manifold for ea888 mk5 mk6. I dont remember who tho xD
CTS will be available very shortly.
Is there anything that needs to be done with the balance shafts when doing a build like this?
Ideally they'd be gone but not a viable option on these.
@@COMotorsports right. I did see 1 video where someone deleted them and had a electric water pump just stuck in the engine bay. Not the prettiest setup but it served it purpose. I'd love to see someone come up with an actual factory style water pump with an electric motor in place of the cog pulley. Then just take the balance shaft chain off and let them sit in there or just a setup like they use on the 4g63 where they tap in a bushing to block the oil ports.
@@COMotorsports or possibly have custom balance shafts made without the weights on them so they are just neutral
@@blindabinda1234 It's not the weight of them. they're totally fine however they are just more prone due to fail as they're more prone to failing due to oiling problem. They just need to stay clean and they'll be happy. The issue is they're not easy to check and yes would be much easier if there was a viable delete option.
Been watching for a while how does one get ahold of you about tuning (I’m in the states)
Email us through our website, or the about page on our channel.
Quick question guys is there a reason why you didn't go with the FSI and went with the TSI engine? Was it because the high pressure fuel pump riding on the cam?
This car came with a TSI and has had multiple different turbo setups on it. This is just the newest rendition.
Cuanto cobran ?
Maybe I missed it, but how are you going to block up the direct injection ports?
Those are still active and will control fuel for driveability and the first couple hundred HP
@@COMotorsports I see, thanks for the reply. Does syvecs control the direct injectors?
@@opt123123 yes sir. Which is one of the very few to be able to do so.
Give me a shout if you need any help with that Syvecs ;) I've got some experience with it.
The spare tire cover looks like a pokeball
If you are going with additional intake manifold injectors wouldn't the catch can no longer serve any purpose?
Why's that?
@@COMotorsports Intake manifold injectors would introduce fuel that would pass over the intake valves thus carbon should no longer build up from the recycled engine vapors.
@@Tunns a catch can does a lot more then help keep valves clean. Oil/Oil vapor kills octane and keeping that out of the intake path is our primary reason.
@@COMotorsports Copy that, now I am interested in how negatively it does affect octane level of the fuel. Didn't look for it but sounds like a good portion of a catch can video :)
24v VR6 swapped MK6
😘
Where is part 8
@@dylanwinter4152 it's being worked on the last two weeks actually. Update coming.
What turbo?
G900
You guys should make a video of doing a rod/piston upgrade while the block is still in the car 😅 only cause im planning on doing the same lol
Done it, rather take it out in most cases.
