We blew up our engine. In a previous adventure, Paul and I literally blew the engine of our 2007 Jetta, pushed to its limits by nitrous injection. A painful failure, but not discouraging! Our goal is now clear: rebuild this block in record time to get back on the track and challenge @Gears and Gasoline again.
The Challenge: An Emergency Engine Rebuild
The countdown has begun. This video is the first episode of an intense series where we tackle the complete engine rebuild. The mission is simple but ambitious: get everything back in working order, and even better than before, to handle the power of nitrous once again.
Technical Upgrades and Modifications
This time, we’re taking no risks. We’re not settling for a simple repair. The heart of the project involves installing new reinforced connecting rods and a meticulous recalibration of the piston ring gap. These upgrades are crucial to ensure the engine’s reliability and power during future nitrous injections. Every part is inspected, every adjustment is optimized for racing.
Final Goal: Back to Racing
Every hour of work counts. Every move has one goal: to return to competition. This rebuild isn’t just a mechanical repair; it’s a race against the clock to prepare the Jetta to face its competitors again. Nitrous doesn’t wait, and neither do we.
