AARodriguez Build Thread with RyanP 2260 and Malone Tuning

AARodriguez Corp. · Dec 11, 2012

Almost done installing this turbo and a few other goodies, just wanted to start a thread and post a comparison picture of the stock KP-39 turbo v.s. the GTB2260 turbo from RyanP. Lots more to come!

Ohhh, I just wet my pants....

Nice work Andrew

AARodriguez Corp. · Dec 11, 2012

We took a lot of video of all the work done. Looking forward to uploading it soon.

storx · Dec 11, 2012

AARodriguez Corp. · Dec 11, 2012

seems like everyone lately that has been doing builds have had issues pop up.. its getting annoying..

str8t six · Dec 11, 2012

sick build! cant wait to see more pics!

bhutchins · Dec 11, 2012

Storx and I are both doing CR builds, and there's a big learning curve. Malone is trying to figure out a lot of new things. Fuel curves, security, etc. These will be beasts when everything gets worked out. Storx reports he can break the tires loose mid 3rd gear with his current tune!

AARodriguez Corp. · Dec 11, 2012

ehh...I've had a lot of little issues that just mean waiting time, or taking it off and putting it back on. I think anyone doing a BEW build with Ryan's kit will have it easy when I finish the video editing.

I ended up needing to install the turbo to the manifold, then bolt the manifold to block. That was fairly easy.

The PD150 intake manifold was a bit of a PITA to install, there's not much room left on the passenger's side of the car for a bolt. pics to come

bhutchins · Dec 11, 2012

Can't be less room than the CR, I can't even see it from top side.

Yes, oil line on turbo, and turbo on manifold then install on head, otherwise PITA

AARodriguez Corp. · Dec 11, 2012

This bolt cannot be used because there would be no way to tighten it

The solution, a ground down bolt, with the "washer head" on that nut it would have pinched up against the exhaust manifold LONG before it would have been close to tight

oldpoopie · Dec 12, 2012

Not even with a ball allen?

storx · Dec 12, 2012

ugh.. the log manifold.. was complete pain the arse to install because the turbo sits directly over 2 of the top bolts and i must have dropped the 12mm wrench tightening them 50 or so times cause you can only move it 1/8 of inch at a time.. also found that you cannon tighten the manifold bolt at all if you have the OEM EGT installed.. the studd had to be shorted a little to thread the sensor in..

Bczuk · Dec 12, 2012

That manifold is a work of art

AARodriguez Corp. · Dec 12, 2012

AARodriguez Corp. · Dec 12, 2012

I relocated my MAP sensor today

AARodriguez Corp. · Dec 12, 2012

Almost done, tomorrow I'll change out all of the engine mounts and prime the turbo with oil then start it up!

HELLO 30 PSI!

ryanp · Dec 13, 2012

Ball end allen key works perfectly for that tight bolt but yes, you need to drop it in first!

Looking forward to the Video, any questions just ask!

These will be your friends till you are put in the grave.

1/4" rotoratchet with a 6mm ball end hex socket mid -long length. amazing. You will never be frustrated with those damn allens again. Trust me. Best tool investment lately. Has saved me hours of cussing.

rotoratchet set

3/8" long ball end hex set (cheap) I just use a 3/8 adapter on my 1/4" ratchet. Bit tighter but I save $35

1/4 and3/8" long ball end hex set (expensive but the 6mm comes on a 1/4 already)

AARodriguez Corp. · Dec 13, 2012

Thanks for the tips on the Ball-allen tools guys!

I installed new 80 durometer motor mount and transmission mount today, put everything back together and started the car.

HOLY HELL, my teeth are still vibrating....do these motor mounts break in quickly? (or at all)

FWIW...not so much. Cold weather makes it even worse lol

GF or wife might or might not like it. Never know. Some tend to like vibration

Ohnoitsthexops · Dec 13, 2012

Loudspl made me giggle, nice work so far the suspense is killing me will you hurry up already!

AARodriguez Corp. · Dec 22, 2012

Just an update to the thread, car runs good but needs more fuel, currently I have stock PD100 injectors.

I did some friendly comparisons with a 2012 Jetta TDI today that had a Stage 2 Malone tune, my car was lacking, it wasn't a blow out, but it was very clear that my car was not a match for the tuned Jetta.

I'll have PD150 injectors installed by the end of the year.

Farfromovin · Dec 22, 2012

I hope you didn't use 034 motorsports mounts. They're good for 2yrs tops.

AARodriguez Corp. · Dec 22, 2012

what makes you say that? What breaks, all the rubber?

Total junk espcially the dogbone.

I second that. I've always had a thing for that slightly textured surface. I need to start photograping my build

BTW, With my 1756VK and Race 520's on a 10 mm pump (meaning 11 mm would probably give me a touch more leeway) I'm out of fuel. This may be the size nozzles you'll be looking to get or to get a custom set a little larger.

AARodriguez Corp. · Dec 22, 2012

I'll probably buy some Firads from RyanP in the future, need to change out my dead lift pump too.

Wish I has researched more about the motor mounts before buying them...

keaton · Dec 22, 2012

are you going to put the smart actuator on the 2260?
