Are you talking about whats next for this car? or what my next car project is?
I'm interested in getting a URQ, I haven't owned one, passed a few off to friends when i should have been buying them. I think i'm at the point where i need one in my life. It will probably be a mild 20vt build, nothing extreme, 300-350 awhp. Just need to wait for that perfect donor car to come my way.
cool. any more vids of it running? how does aeb feels on road?
No videos at the moment. It feels great, it hits about 21 psi and holds at 18. It is quick, but lacks the torque i'm used to feeling in my S6 and other 2.2l 20vts i have owned. I'm pretty happy with how it all came together. The car feels much more nimble than it did with the 2.8l, it was certainly a big win over the previous engine.
My solution this time was actually to remove the partial plug that was in the auto crank and i used a v6 pilot bearing which is the exact same outer diameter as the hole in the crank
Did you grind enough off the snout of the crank? My thinking is that if you didn't remove enough metal when the box is bolted on to the engine you could have been crushing the bearing?? Might be totally off but I too run an auto crank with a bearing in my 90q and it's took a lot of abuse with no issue...
I didn't grind any off. Which is certainly the issue, i took measurements and my flywheel was thick enough to hold the bearing, and i thought the clearance was enough. It wasnt. Like i said, my goal is to swap in a new block with a MANUAL crank and a set of uprated rods i picked up already. I prefer getting the car running and being able to enjoy it a bit, i can build up a second engine in my garage that gets swapped in down the road and have minimal down time.

the engine donor was an automatic. the bearing used is not a true solution, it is a make shift solution that didn't work. I'm doing something different this time. I intend on building up a proper manual block with a set of aftermarket rods i have already sourced. I'm the type who does things in phases. Getting it swapped and working was the first task, now that i have proved it works, I intend on taking it to the next level. The goal is 300awhp and 300awtq. We'll see what happens.
