Glad someone has made a detailed video on these engines! I’ve been running an AliExpress CNTA engine for about 5 months now on E85 and a hybrid turbo, without any mechanical issues yet
My s3 just blew up too. Could you drop the link? I can search it, but if you have good experience with a specific vendor - I am willing to take the risk for the price.
This technically is a golf r / s3 engine with the engine code of cjx. They technically don't make a replacement usdm GTI or A3 engine overseas for Alibaba.
I took the upper and lower oil pans off to see main and rod bearings. Then sent a bore scope down every hole the engine has just to see. The head hasn't been pulled as I want to leave it as it came to see what fails first (headgasket, pinched ringland ECT)

My motor blew in my 15 Audi S3 8v. I'm looking to buy one of these. Can you send me a link somewhere to locate one? I can't locate on Alibaba
You should give a 12k mile review
This is likely a genuine engine that was left over from a vehicle production line, then was sold into the market.
We need an alibaba engine video
can’t wait to see this moving
Ive always wanted to do this but I could never find any info on people’s experiences with it, thanks for this
Good shit bro
Goodluck w everything cant wait to see how it does 🔥🙏

I’d love to see if the Gen 4 head will work with the Gen 3 short block.
Thank you for this!! This is so impressive for what it is, I hope this goes on reliably to actually consider buying this in the future ! 😆
Can’t wait to see what comes of this. Brave of u to be a guinea pig lol. Subscribed 👍🏻
Have you tuned the engine yet

any updates?
Any update on this engine ?
vw and audi have been selling cars in china since the 80's. they were one of the very first european brands to set up shop there.
LMAO the ending haha.
i need a 2gr-fe. did u negotiate on listed the price to get it down? i have bought motorcycle engines from alibaba before but not car.
I didn't negotiate, I did however shop around but ultimately purchased one that an importer had in stock close to me.
What seller did you use?@@ItsBrandonQuail
Do they have one for mk7 golf R

seems like your not opening it up, have you atleast put a camera to check bores etc?
