Stu why you waffling on about shaunee's thread! Pointless him going for larger injectors when they couldn't get past 1.55bar.
I didnt care to much for shaune, he lies on forums and his best pals with the owner of Litchfield, why should I help another tuner ?

Secondly your getting frustrated and suggesting I'm just arrogant when I said I'm going to not get involved, but you insisted I said my peace.

Look Stu you have no idea what I know and what puts us in front of most, if Regal had any self respect they would put there hands up and admit they can't tune for toffee. I've told you what I have seen and know. You have basically dismissed it.

AGAIN good luck stu

Not in the least bit rattled, Nope not in the automotive industry, Just bored of you repeatedly mouthing off at businesses on most forums and groups. Too much poo stirring in the car community and tuning. 

Well don't read my comments that are fact, funny how I get abuse for speaking the truth......Ask yourself why haven't they challenged me??
Silly c**t

I can comment on any posts I want Ben. You don’t this forum and I am a member. Ok you hate Litchfield and slag off their work which is your choice. The point I’m making is if you don’t want to help with a solution because you don’t want to help another tuner just stay off his thread. I stand by it sounds childish to say you know the answer but are not going to say what it is. If that’s the way you felt just kerb the urge to post at all.

I see nothing from you on FL cars but loads of comments about others which could have been done in a better way. I’d have been much more likely to have used your services if you had posted hardware lists and graphs for some cars you have done. As you keep pointing out I don’t know what I’m doing I thought you could understand the reason I’d want to see hardware lists and for graphs builds to help give my totally uneducated self an idea of what owners have done.

Yes I pushed you to say something because I was fed up of your cryptic sly comments about what I was doing without saying what you meant. I agree everyone is entitled to say their views because this is a forum but there are ways to say things that don’t have to wind people up. You do really think I believe you are wishing me luck after the way you have been on this forum. I know full well you would be the first to slag me off and everything I’ve done wasn’t the exact figures you state it should be. That is why you slagged off Shaunees hp figures and others. Even if someone’s build wasn’t what they expected the nah nah told you so attitude doesn’t make you look good.

[RS777]

Ok so you read the thread, right no he was told oil ring had failed after a compression test, oil ring can not be seen on a compression test. More then likely his pvc was faulty.

As I said stu you do what's best for you, you got sucked into all the smokes and mirrors, another jbs thread in coming.

I’d be careful about making comments about what other tuners are doing without the facts. I spoke to Regal and although they did say they are not going to getting involved in a trash talking thread on a forum, they did a leak down test and not just a compression test on that the 8P.

Funny you saying my build is another JBS thread in the making when the only work they did on mine has been good. Like I said 515hp and 780nm for stage 2 is pretty good and tested on mustang dyno. I was there when they were testing in and nothing was faked.

At last the OZ Lagerra HLT 20s are arriving at Rimstyle tomorrow and hopefully getting the Cup tyres fitted and sent out on a quick turnaround. These are much needed as next week the engine should be going in along with the new Verkline subframe.

Sounds like it is all coming together nicely.

Yes the head is fitted with the new valves, retainers, springs, seals etc. and the engine will be built next week.

Bit of an update on the engine build. Regal have been in contact with Mahle and they have a new piston that addresses the rattle that aftermarket pistons can have until warmed up. I’m not sure on the exact science but it’s down to the expansion requirements of the metal which are met by the oem pistons. Mahle now have a specially designed set for high torque RS3s and they will be fitted tomorrow.

After they had talks with the UK TVS importer we have decided to go for their stage 4 map and race clutch. They are in talks over the specific needs based on my build snd future use to have some custom parameters. I’ve had lots of advice stating TVS do the best snd most reliable DSG tunes and I’d like to thank those of you who commented to my questions or sent me a pm.

[flybynite]

Sounds like a result with TVS, I get the impression they know their business really well.

 

As far as pistons, this has long been an issue with forged pistons I have had it with other engines. They used to be made out of a high-silicon alloy like 4032 which made a tough low-expansion piston that could be made with tight cold clearances and run quiet.

 

The problem was as boost and cylinder pressures went up they were too hard and cracked so for FI cars they moved to a different alloy like 2618 that could take the forces and temperatures better but that ally expanded more so had to have greater cold-fit clearances to expand into when up to temp. The movement until it gets up to temp is what causes the rattle on many forged pistons.

 

These days the likes of Mahle have refined the alloys and can push the low expansion alloy more.

 

Have Regal sorted the rear Wavetrac yet? I did see Iroz's blue car was running Wavetracs both ends so I guess it must be possible.

It is still in development and has been slow due to all the COVID issues.

 

IROZ run a Frankenstein rear Wavetrack using parts from a R32 diff to get it to work. The one being developed for the RS3 is based on the RS3 diff and my understanding is in theory it will work but more R&D is being done on the case strengthening side. For it to be an easy job they would have needed to machine too much out of the case. I think they are looking at the later part of the year now, but this may not be so bad because I can get the rear Verkline subframe fitted at the same time. CSP who are developing the new RS3 intercooler based on the test fit done on my car may have that ready by then. Apparently the first prototype being road tested was fitted to the Eventuri RS3 that set on fire, which set them back a bit.  

[RS777]

The engine is now built and ready to go back in. Just waiting for the TVS race clutch pack to arrive this week and it all goes back in at the same time with the new subframe.

Today I emailed Peron to provide all the information about the build hardware, expected power and what I want to get out of the car. They will have a map written at TVS as a base to be downloaded once I’ve done the 800 miles and it goes back in for the high boost mapping. They will liaise with Regal after the road test and provide an update dependent on the drive and logs. I then get the car and after a week or so of driving they can make further adjustments if required.

Also the Maxim front splitter, side skirts, rear defuser and rear side splitters have arrived at work. They will get fitted at the end along with the rear carbon spoiler and mirror caps. The carbon 034 fuse box cover arrived today and is superb quality. Should look good with the Eventuri intake.

A quick update, the downpipe is no longer going to be wrapped and is now at a ceramic coating specialist instead. I have forgotten the exact figures but it has far better insulation performance than the wrap. Next week I will get a file with build pictures and will start posting some.

Who are you using for the ceramic coating? I have a few manifolds for a couple other cars that I want coating, I was looking at Zircotec but given the cost not sure it much more benefit than something like Cerakote

I will give them a shout tomorrow and find out who is doing it. Zircotec did my Land Rover mainifold and downpipe about 3 years ago and did a decent job.

[RS777]

Not sure who coated the manifold due to the person arranging it being off. Good news is the TVS race clutch pack arrived, was fitted and the engine & box were reinstalled today. 

[RS777]

My car is all back together and is on the rolling road tomorrow. I won’t be collecting it until after the weekend now but at least I will get the chance to do the first 400 miles ready for another oil & filter change the following week.

[RS777]

A few pics of the turbo in place, the ceramic coated down pipe and the air intake. I didn’t have time to wait around but they were just about to fit the intake, exhaust and get it started.
I was very impressed with the Gen 3 Eventuri intake. Apart from weighing virtually nothing the build quality was superb. I always like them when they had the Gen 1 and 2 versions but they hadn’t done enough work to get the improved power figures to a level worthy of nearly £2.5k with the turbo elbow.

A few more showing the down pipe from underneath, the APR coil packs and the plenum chamber. You can’t tell from the pictures but the BarTek plenum chamber is about double the capacity of the oem one.

The low boost running in map will be on next week and the procedure will be completed before fitting the plenum chamber, throttle body and uprated injectors/pumps. This is to keep things simple and not spend time messing about with fuelling during this crucial period.

Unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to photo the oem and TTE777 turbos next to each other to to the oem one being sent off first, so found this picture to show the difference:
