My AEB 366XL solid head build

[speeding-g60]

so i am new here.... been pointed this way by a few regulars. i carry the name almost everywhere, its easier to spot me that way. my new drag chassis i am working on right now is going to be a monster.... it is being built to cert in the 8.50 class. the goal is 9 sec 1/4 mile. bottom end built by Issam. top end built by Joey @ DJM in Portland in case you dont know of him. SM4 tuned by Kevin "Lugnuts" Black. most other stuff internet sourced. all 034 parts supplied by Issam. exhaust manifold and downpipe, if you can call it that, was built by Jim and Brian of HorsepowerConnection in Lacey WA.

Jake told me to post it here, and make it good if i wanted half a chance to have it stay.

the car is now being assembled. and it is getting painted this fantastic looking deep burgundy-ish color. we may paint the rest of the car this weekend if its nice.

i read the rules, and i know it said B5, but nobody is going to see it in the Coupe Quattro section, and it is based upon the B5 motor (please let it stay).

anyways, if ya move it ya move it. how many people ditch the 20v I-5 for a 20V H(uge)T 4cyl?

some quick stuff to layout, then i will post a few pix. if you dig it i will put up more... if not, cool. i shared something...

i hope you actually read all that, and didnt skim to the pictures. but if you did, there is some stuff to see that will make you back up and read stuff.

on to a few pictures.... you gotta watch though, cuz i sometimes get carried away with pictures :)

deleted the hydro brake booster, fully manual brakes.
Wilwood prop valve, stainless lines.
slotted/drilled front rotors on Girling G60 two piston caliper front setup.















i run a 20V with a 35R in the drag rabbit. here is a few pix of the size difference between this turbo and a GT35R, if anyone really wondered how much bigger this turbo is. these are sitting on a set of 2x12's, BTW.

[speeding-g60]

[speeding-g60]

welded the center diff for full time no-split AWD.

[speeding-g60]

its a nice view, i wonder what the combined power output will be :)



and man, the front shot just looks mean as hell....







and some line work accomplished. also, cut up the turbo compressor housing a bit, fitting for the boost pipe.

[317ssayzarc]

Yay, Aaron has arrived !

[speeding-g60]

if you guys dont want this here i understand. just delete it if thats what you want to do.... its cool by me. just thinkin to show you guys some stuff that is related to your builds, that are being done out in the world. there are some of you that know me from Poortex.... and MG, and VWSport, and other places....

just another car nut in the great scheme of things is all. i like to see others work, and show mine.

[AudiTechS4]

wow

[Poopie]

i think i saw this on motorgeek.Maybe not. Awesome build. The motor heads here just popped boners.

[speeding-g60]

yeah you would have seen it on MG.... the full play by play is there.... this is the bulk of the cool pix....

you guys dont want to see stuff like gutting interiors, engine bays, etc.

so far, seems you like it.

this car is in a class of its own. and since this whole build pretty much revolves around the motor anyways, may as well share. it all pertains to you B5 A4 20v guys anyhow... its all the same stuff.

[sean1.8t]

JESUS H CHRIST!

this will decimate all!!!!!

can't wait to see more progress! im giving you rep just because

[AudiA4_20T]

So, I guess a passenger headlight isnt going to happen eh? I feel like the compressor is going to suck the world in

btw Im sorry that your friends with Jake, that sucks

[speeding-g60]

another shot or two of the size of this turbo.... it is kinda largish. 38 pounds it weighs.

[4inchMAF]

sup man!!! this is Biggee Talls from that one big, gay-ass VW forum. what you have here is just beyond words..... i will follow this closely. glad you could make it....

[AudiA4_20T]

you know your a baller when you have v-band housings on your turbo...

Anyway, 50trim S will love that your destroking and making high revs

[beemercer]

Good lord man! Can't wait to see the results.

[317ssayzarc]

I'll chop your nuts off and make you eat them you dirty whore...

[317ssayzarc]

Aaron, any ETA on the shortblock?

[speeding-g60]

sup man!!! this is Biggee Talls from that one big, gay-ass VW forum. what you have here is just beyond words..... i will follow this closely. glad you could make it....

and you now see why this would not be put up there....

the 50Trim's and those damned retarded MK4 drivers that havent a clue....

you know your a baller when you have v-band housings on your turbo...

Anyway, 50trim S will love that your destroking and making high revs

dont say that name... what if he googles his name and finds this place? he wont know about it if i can help it.

[speeding-g60]

Aaron, any ETA on the shortblock?

spoke with Issam today. block is ready. i sent FW to him to have the whole deal balanced complete.

i am having the axles (stock and custom) and all my hubs/spindles that are @ A1CVTech crated up in the same pallet box. so i can SORTA save on shipping. still gonna be spendy i think.

will call Marco tomorrow and see what he says, when he will be ready. its going to be busy here when all that stuff hits, though. i will have to put the rabbit back in the storage with the Vortech SC'd MK3 VR6. they like each other, all alone in the dark there... freaky VW's anyhow.

whole garage dedicated to the one car again.

[STS9king]

hey man, glad to see you made it over here and left joketex. that drag car of urs is going to be pretty slow ;)

[michael66899]

Damn, love it man this thing is going to be an absolute beast. Where about in the PNW do you live? And you have to let me know when this thing sees its first TnT, I wana be front row.

[onemoremile]

sick.

[Wizard-of-OD]

braaapap braaappapa braaaapapapaappa

Going to enjoy hearing the first crank from this.

[lowandslow4now]

Good stuff I cant wait to see a vid of this.

[solowb5]

You plan on brushing your teeth in front of the engine in the morning?

So how long have you been building this car for?

[djwimbo]

I'm seriously impressed. Not only are you going big, you're kicking it old school too.

I recognized the name from the whoreTex, your name is a sign of quality in my mind.

Good luck with the build, just make sure you keep us in the loop for the progress.
I've been waiting to see what a divided T4 can do on a VW 4cyl.

[speeding-g60]

So how long have you been building this car for?

well, i got the car in maybe July last year. it was delivered to my house with me never even having seen this body style at that time. i was working out of state until Feb this year. i would work on it like part of a day on every other weekend, or bring parts to the jobsite to build. like the coilovers, i built those after work at the jobsite. welded up the subframes, that kind of stuff. been working on parts and procuring parts since then....

it WILL be running this year. i do have two drag cars, the rabbit is up and running, just waiting to get it back out there. but since it has no traction, i built this one. the rabbit spins across the line in 4th gear, GT35R @ 36psi, 130 MPH burnout. thats cool to say once or twice, but every time its annoying LOL.

I'm seriously impressed. Not only are you going big, you're kicking it old school too.

thats for the kind words. i try. it makes no sense to shortcut, i find everytime i have ever tried it bites me in the ass. like the OEM headstuds on the rabbit, with the 35R. lifted head @ 36psi on my first run this year. now Raceware headstuds.

we will keep this updated.... and thanks for the good words from all you'ns over here.... its good to be away from all the critics and E-racers/tooners that have never done anything but pick apart someone elses work. what i do, i do for fun, and to satisfy me. i am not a serious racer, my job is demanding at times and i dont get to go race alot. but i like to wrench on my cars, and i like to drive fast. last year i got 13 passes total in the rabbit, thats why i built this chassis. no changes to make to the rabbit so i figured WTF, build something that will hook up.

Damn, love it man this thing is going to be an absolute beast. Where about in the PNW do you live? And you have to let me know when this thing sees its first TnT, I wana be front row.

i live down in Oregon, and i plan to bring this to Pacific Waterlands show on Aug 30th @ Woodburn Dragstrip. but hoping to T-n-T it before then.

[zerb]

this thing is going to be an absolute monster. and i look forward to 9 second times slips.

edit: i skimmed through the wording above, but did you happen to mention what the approx weight of this thing is going to be over here? cause i think peoples jaws will drop even a bit more.

[Militant-Grunt]

You sure that turbo isn't going to create a problem?















With space time continuum that is?
Incredible build, very impressive stuff, good luck, I hope you put down some nutty numbers with this thing. /Wishes this was a B5.

[speeding-g60]

these come in stock around 3175 curb weight.

this one right now, as it sits, next to that 1800 pound rabbit, weighs only 1760 pounds. i do have some stuff to put back in, like axles, brakes, minimal stuff. i really cannot see 500 pounds going back in. hell, i can pick the front of the car up off the ground by myself, with the motor/trans in it!

not sayin i am a "huge friggin guy" (said in Boston-ese from the movie Boondock Saints) but i am not scrawny....

so i look to have this thing around 2300 pounds or so all said and done. maybe a touch more.

[mike-2ptzero]

Looking good Aaron, plenty pics I haven't seen yet. Thanks for that transmission. :)

[speeding-g60]

no worries.... and i got lots more pictures than this. these are just some of the better ones. if i had known you wanted more in emails, i woulda shot you some more :D

[kevin12]

Incredible build. Can't wait to see more! Love that its in a quattro coupe too

[mike-2ptzero]

no worries.... and i got lots more pictures than this. these are just some of the better ones. if i had known you wanted more in emails, i woulda shot you some more :D

If I am able to get a enclosed trailer before this summer I will try to make it up to the Waterlands event.

[ghost6303]

you should name the car the serial crusher

[4inchMAF]

Anyway, 50trim S will love that your destroking and making high revs

LOL!!!!! he said this was his idea in one of his posts, and that it was "biggest" contribution to the 1.8T "community".

im so glad he doesnt drive an audi...

anyways, are those billet cams solid? or hollow?

[speeding-g60]

they are solid billets. and they are for solid lifters. so double solid?

and Mike, that would be sweet ass if you could come up here, but horrible if you beat me hahaha. but it is a good track... August is hot though.

but i tell you, it would be an EPIC event if you did come. we could make it happen that we run it heads up :) that would be one hell of a video, and i have a great camera guy going to be there to film it. and Kris and Ken are coming from down that way, they do GREAT film work.

Serial Crusher, huh? i made a lil vid or two, i got kinda off-track and slipped into VORTEX mode. defending myself, with some "pix or it didnt happen" type challenge. i took the bait, of course.... thats where the "huge friggin guy" came from LOL.

[A4Rob]

Wow. That is all. Just WOW

[djwimbo]

I love the commentary on the vids.

Good choice on the quattro for this build. Quattro > FWD

[speeding-g60]

yeah, some of you know my frustration with vortex and the 1.8T forum.... and it was not even there that it started. but it just hit me as the regular vortex attitude.... and i hit right back with "OH YEAH?".

it really helps that the tube-framed front end happens to have the cross bar at such a level and height that it is an easy(ish) pull. but still.... i will admit i flared a little.... there are alot of people that try and make themselves off as more than they really are. say they do things that they could not even dream of doing in reality.
