JDM VS EURO REMATCH In this video we fix the turbo axle and engine mounts. Also install the F+F tribute graphics. Then we head to the drag strip to see who is faster a NITROUS JETTA, or a TURBO CIVIC. Then we bring the Jetta back to the shop for some post race analysis.

@phunkfx 2 жыл бұрын

Yes we can blame the tune, that's what everyone does, and I disagree with blaming the tune, but its plausible. However, you can't tune around degraded hardware or potentially missed upgrades. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but a K04 went on the car, which is a minimal upgrade, but did they upgrade any fueling? Even without nitrous I would have done RS4 or S3 injectors, HPFP internals upgrade, a better FMIC, much colder and small gapped plugs, make sure the 6.6BAR fuel filter was in it, maybe even that fuel rail return valve upgrade, just so you dont lean out. I'm pleased to see that the rods held, however the stock cast pistons melted due to the high cylinder pressures and excessive heat. Forged pistons would have helped, but thats more $$$, and it would have only helped so much with running lean. FSI engines need fuel pressure, so the LP fuel system upgrades would probably only help the nitrous soleniod. The spark plug electrode likely broke off due to pretty bad knock and high cylinder pressures (also heat) from too much timing or not good enough octane rating in the fuel. If the o2 sensor is good, it probably wasnt the issue and would have kept up. Likely the injectors needed to be open sooner, I"m just thinking out loud :D To another note, nitrous is awesome, and even more awesome on a turbo, I do it in my VW, but the progressive controler and the RPM window limiter should be set to spray when the car is NOT making peak torque. A 35 shot is small, I'm surprised it didn't take it, but hey, lack of fueling or not enough timing retard can do this. Well poor fuel quality, poor spark quality can all do this too. I have my nitrous set to spray when the torque starts to fall off, meaning once the turbo range dies off, it picks back up with nitrous. Its quite beneficial to stock turbo cars, because K03s will die out early. Either way, great video, great content, I love watching this, and yes, I do understand this was a budget/fast build and a challenge. I am merely explaining the issues as I would understand them from my own experience. Which isn't too shabby. Check out my IG @rcptuning Love the video, you guys rock. DAP is wonderful.

I owned a 91 civic Hatchback I bought new in 1991 for $6800. It was a base model and the first car I ever "modified". I couldn't afford an SI at the time, so I made my base model look like an SI by buying OEM SI parts and bolting them on. After a few years, my Sister needed a car so I gave her my 91 hatchback after I bought a 94 civic coupe. Not long after I gave my Sister the Civic, she traded it in at a local Honda Dealer (yes I was pissed) and she got $8500 on trade. I asked how that was possible? She said they thought it was an SI. The dealer called her back like 3 days later when they realized the mistake, but my sister said "your mistake not mine" and that was that. Haha. I thought that was pretty good. She traded it for a then new Honda Accord Coupe. This particular car in the video looks like it has a B16 engine swap in it. Good engine, but the job was done horribly. I currently own a VW GTI (MK7.5) and remember well my very first Hatchback, my 91 Civic Hatch. Great Car👍

I just love watching you two guys working together on cars. Cant wait for the next collaboration. I think it was due to detonation. Greetings from Canada.

I'm really enjoying watching people who know what they're doing not knowing what they're doing. Reminds me that even though I've still go a long way to go there's never gonna be an end to the learning.

When a man who works on VAG products says that Hondas are harder to work on, it's officially BizzaroWorld. And the innuendo throughout the video.........must be suppressed JDM desire🤤

It’s just different really. Haha Paul and I are vw/Audi programmed for sure. I like plenty of jdm cars. Had a 91 eclipse GSX and a 97 Integra GSR. Both Awesome cars

Have no idea what I'm talking about, but I'll throw a theory out anyway! Spark plug broke, cylinder filled with gas, nitrous/higher O2 content coming into the cylinder didn't need a whole lot of compression to ignite it without a spark plug and with all the gas and o2 you were getting, it made a bigger boom than intended. Glad you guys did it though.. Was a fun watch for sure. Was hoping to see the Jetta at Wookies, but probably should put that car out of its misery now.

I knew the straps were gone on those plugs before you pulled them. I'm not sure how the nitrous management unit works for NOS's but with the ZEX kit that vacuum line went straight to manifold vacuum. I'm not sure those kits are meant to be ran on boosted applications as the vacuum reading from that line is used by the NMU to send the right amount of vacuum to the fuel pressure regulator to up fuel flow. Without proper instructions I think it was hooked up wrong and went way lean. The top end of a 1/4 mile pull is rough on nitrous motors. Those ground straps and pistons didn't break they were burnt. It wasn't your guys fault though unless you really know those systems without instructions it's near impossible to get right. I would look to see if the kit was meant for boosted applications though. If you wanna use nitrous you need a proper wet kit. Damien Renata is also correct that the plugs need to be two steps colder than stock as well. Nitrous is a fickle mistress

Move the intake sensors.... extend the pipe and have enough pipe to swirl the nos properly. Have the fogger after the sensors... Torque your headstuds

Great show! Too bad you only got a few runs with the engine. With two out of four broken?nonperforming cylinders it is a miracle you got the race times 13.4 and a13.2 ..
