Re: 50 trim in - lot's of smoke from exhaust

i figured out it's rods, i was drivngs to shindley's yesterday afternoon to take a look and it definately wasn't the lifters, car over heated, died on me up there on 494, radiator fluid came out of the resovoir, we thought it was the head gasket, but he turned the car on when he got it towed to his house and he's 99% sure engine needs rebuilding. so that's where i am with my car. the knocking i heard wasn't lifters, it was the rods. so now i'm looking into rebuilding the fucking thing. i dunno what to do anymore with this car. alot of money for rebuilding or getting a new engine.

Maybe it was detonating when you got on it hard without tuning it and it spun a rod bearing.

Sorry to hear about your motor man!

It's tough sometimes to have to live and learn.....:-<

I almost threw a 50 trim on my 2G Tsi a while back myself, but some the guys on the board here were kind enough to talk me out of it, cause I didn't have the correct supporting mods, and I'd wreck my car.

I'm glad I listened to them.

If I were you I'd talk to Mike now about a 2.4 and start saving my cash up for a nice upgrade!

Re: 50 trim in - lot's of smoke from exhaust

don't bother rebuilding the 7 bolt. Either get a race motor or a used 6 bolt block.

Re: 50 trim in - lot's of smoke from exhaust

Dont get a 2.4l. He is FWD, he already has traction problems. Whatever you do, go with a 6 bolt. Not much you could have done after the bearing already started spinning. Who tuned the car? Shindley???

As far as the BOV goes, my 50 trim didn't make much of a noise either. The turbo spool was louder. I couldn't even hear my blitz bov.

Re: 50 trim in - lot's of smoke from exhaust

Well right now i'm thinking of just building up my 7 bolt, i talked with shindley alot about it and if i build up my engine with high performance parts for the turbo my car will be fine, i know the reason why everyone gets a 6-bolt, cuz of the crankwalk issue. Any other reason's why i would love to hear them. Shindley is going to get my 7 bolt bored out .20, replace the rods and pistons, build it back up so that i can easily withstand the 18 pounds of boost that i'm going to run. Most likely do alittle head work, hoag out a couple of things, get the 1g intake manifold in.

Re: 50 trim in - lot's of smoke from exhaust

A stock 7-bolt will handle well over 18psi and 150-200whp more than you were probably making. Your motor didn't break because it was making too much power, something went wrong with it because of tuning or install or just bad luck. The reason to not build a 2G 7-bolt is because of the crankwalk, and that is a major problem which shouldn't be ignored. Putting aftermarket rod and pistons in it will not fix the crankwalk problem.

Re: 50 trim in - lot's of smoke from exhaust

I agree with Shane, it is best to buy a decent 6-bolt block and have that rebuilt. I have a buddy here in Duluth that is willing to sell one of his two 6-bolt engines. PM me if you're interested.

Re: 50 trim in - lot's of smoke from exhaust

shindley looked alot at everything, we talked about the 6 bolt and 7 bolt, he said right now i don't need to worry about the crankwalk, he has looking at the engine the past 2 days and i should go with building up my 7 bolt.

Re: 50 trim in - lot's of smoke from exhaust

and shidley is also trying to save me money, because u can't just drop in a 6 bolt into a 2g can you? you have to modify a couple things and that costs money, i'll probably be saving myself a couple grand just rebuilding the 7 bolt and leaving it at that, basically all i want is an engine that is basically brand new, rebuilding it will do that, i buy performance internals and the car will be able to handle the 50 trim for a longtime, correct?

When it crankwalks, you will need to get a different block and crank and start over.

You have to grind the drivers side motor mount, 6 bolt flywheel, cut off the dampner on the tranny and wire in a 90-94 CAS... Motor swap done.

Re: 50 trim in - lot's of smoke from exhaust

If you waste money building the 7 bolt and it crankwalks, you only have yourself to blame. It will cost you more in the long run and the chance it will walk is pretty significant. I have several extra six bolt short blocks laying around as does a bunch of people on the site. Doing the conversion is pretty simplistic, it gets done at least once a month around here. There is soo much ink on this already, I won't waste any more. Do it right now or be sorry later.

Re: 50 trim in - lot's of smoke from exhaust

Do what you want with the car and don't let Shindley make yoru mind up. Your getting some free advice here from people who have the skills and abilities to know what they are doing and can back up what they say. At the end it's your call but seriously think about what the hell your doing. But if you only want to take one guy's opinion of the situation, I honestly don't even know why you need an account here.

Re: 50 trim in - lot's of smoke from exhaust

Not only crankwalk, But I can't count the number of 7-bolt motors that have spun rod bearings. Almost usually #3. Plus the inherent weakness that is associated with the smaller rods, etc. I would second either a 6-bolt, 2.4L or buy a decent used 7-bolt and take it easy until you save up.

Re: 50 trim in - lot's of smoke from exhaust

If you really damaged a rod or spun a rod bearing, then there is a good chance that your crank or block are beyond repairable. How is Shindley saving you money by rebuilding a motor that will very possibly crankwalk or fail again soon, then you will just have to do it all over again. You have to look beyond his advice, he might sound like he is the end all for DSM tech with the way he presents himself and talks, but he is actually wrong on a lot of the things he believes and a few years behind what a lot of the people on here are doing.
