@GarrettKeetley- don't comment on something if you have no knowledge about it. The 4g63 has a cult following, and routinely smoke high performance sports cars. U can easily run 500+ HP through these engines with about $6000 in mods.

No, it doesn't. The R8 has been available only with V8 and V10, neither of them diesel. The V12 TDI version was just a concept that has never been later produced.

Well, I don't consider 15-second diesel VW fast. Anything that can't run 1/4 mile in less than 13 seconds and / or compete with common sports cars such as Corvette, Viper or Mustang (etc.) is slow.

How about asking yourself if you always drive around town with three passengers or utilize all your trunk space and your brakes to their full potential? Your VW may get 65mpg, but no, it does NOT have power. It's a slow econobox. Sorry.

@GarrettKeetley :) you and I both know that the great majority of very-high-horsepower machines (the Veyron would be an exception) are built to be raced and with no regard to fuel efficiency or usability around town. I've had a friend who built a 4G63/huge turbo combination, dynoed it, tossed it in his daily-driven car, and used it in that manner...but he's the exception by far. My car with the engine in this vid gets a happy 28-30mpg on the hwy and can get crazy too...I'm quite happy with it.

@GarrettKeetley I personally wouldn't drop that kind of cash on a DSM unless it was in prime condition prior to modding...but why do people upgrade anything? For experience, fun, or to simply say they've done it. I don't need 1,000 horses...I'm more than happy with 300 the rebuild afforded me on the cheap.

@GarrettKeetley one of these blocks can develop 1000+ WHP with the proper mods. Sounds quite beastly to me. Besides, the R8 V12 TDI was canceled two years ago so that's not relevant.

So where is the rest of the vid at Nick?
turbokillsemall 2 years ago
it's about half done, rod-dog. I haven't worked on it in about a month. If I get a minute I might get something up after the meet this weekend. BTW are you going?

I rebuilt the bottom end on my 420A Turbo in the engine bay. Easier if you take it out, but just keep all the dust away!! Oil is a whore and likes to attract all the dust.

copy that man...but if you have an engine stand and a cherry picker (I do), why not use 'em to full effect? Having the whole thing out also allowed me better access to all the bearings, let me check the crank's condition, put the oil pan on super easily, etc.
I ended up taking it out and cleaning it from top to bottom, putting a new set of Clevites and new .040 over 2G pistons w/new rings, a rebuilt head and a Power Enterprise timing belt. School's been hell...new vid in a few weeks.
