DQ500 on a 1.8T? Do the car some justice and through the 3.2 in there!

Correct! Engine is now a 2.0 stroker built top to bottom. The DQ500 is ridiculously heavy, would hate to know what the full car would weigh with the 3.2 bolted up to a DQ 😂

Nice work Pal. Ideally you want to cover brake pads pins so they don't get painted. As paint can stop brake pads moving freely. Also good is to apply cermiac grease on threads so bleeding nipples don't size up after few months.
@LukeAston2 ай бұрын
Thank you! Pins didn’t get painted and I cleaned up with a scotch pad. I’ll remember the ceramic grease for the future!

Wicked video! I’m looking at doing similar but I don’t have a compressor or spray gun so will be using rattle cans. Did you use any high heat resistant paints or primers? Or an etch primer? As the callipers are aluminium right?
@LukeAston3 ай бұрын
No this was just 2K paint and any other paints should hold up no issues. You can etch prime if you wanted to but a normal primer will work just fine with the callipers being aluminium

If you are going to replace the pistons anyway why not keep them in thru the whole proces?

Nice video, thank you. Can you please tell me which rotor you used, was it the Mercedes, ML 55, or ML 500 rotor, and if so, did you have to bore out the center bore and/or the lug, nuts, or trim down the brake pad post inside the caliper so they won’t rub on the rotor? I have these 18 Z calipers and I’m using them with a S4B6 rotor, no modification needed, but the offset of the rotor isn’t ideal as it pushes closer towards the outside of the caliper. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.
@LukeAston8 ай бұрын
I used the ML55 rotors and used a die grinder to shave a bit off the centre bore. Nothing else is required other than taking a tiny bit off the centre bores and it all bolts together like factory

DQ500 for the win, granted you need to get it mapped. But since I’ve fitted mine I can already tell it’s going to transform the car dramatically. Glad to hear your not gonna waste your time with a built 02M/Q. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with the channel and the builds! Very intrigued on the G30-900’s performance on our platform…… we’ve eeeked everything out of the G30-770 for sure.

I’m set on the dq500 now. For my power goal it makes sense, as you mentioned I think it will turn the car into something completely different - which is what I’m going for hence why I building another tt.
