Great vid. Word of advice though, although the Maxpeeding Rods are balanced better than the individual OEM rods, the whole OEM rotationg assembly is balanced around the stock rods in their respective positions. The key to maintaining balance in a built engine is to match the weight ratios of the stock rod and piston combos across each cylinder bore when installing new forged rods and pistons
mk3 12vs of certain years had forged cranks but were not balanced well from the factory which is kind if a bummer considering Volkswagen usually cheeped out on electronics and extras for rnd and machine work
Great video! Can't wait to see the build progress. I used MS Rods for my 2.7T build and noticed there were improvements to be had in balancing the big ends. The MS rods were a ways off from the OEM rods in this respect. How big of an impact it will have is subjective though. I saw in another comment below you're getting the crank balanced, good decision! Went through all that with my 2.7 and it's butter smooth. Keep up the good work and videos coming. ruclips.net/video/kDNwg-rY5vA/видео.html
@@Kiss__Kiss to me it doesn’t. I was never a fan of changing the motor that comes in a car. Maybe when I build a drift car I’ll use a vr6 since it’s similar to a 2jz.
@@vertbully5353 I'm right there with you, man. I meant for his application. But yeah, back when I was younger, in the 90s I had a Mark IV Supra with the 2JZGTE engine. Guess I should have kept it. Live and learn I guess.
@@Kiss__Kiss would have been sitting on a gold mine for sure lol. Idk I just love the 2.7 look. It’s always easier to swap a reliable motor I guess. Too many people doing vr6 swaps in the b5s now. Ima vr6 swap but I’m going outside the box and changing model of car for that.
You should really end to end balance them. On a rod balance scale. That's where the biggest difference comes in. Mine were end to end were way off. And they had to grinded to match end to end. Edit: the coupon code doesn't work. Says invalid
It’s awesome they sponsored the video. I have tuned a good amount of 2.7s with them and all have performed great.
Yeah man quality seems great and I’ve seen some of the S4’s you tuned make good power with them

Thanks man!
The entire assembly will be balanced at a machine shop once the parts are in
Idk how he does it talking very casual and relaxed yet very professional.
Damn dawg... hitting me with the lunchtime release.
Fuckin' mint bud 🤙🤙
Hahahaha gotta get that timing right bro 😉
Fantastic break down my dude👊😎
I'm interested to see how the vr6 compares to the 2.7t .....personally I would have gone 3.2 vr6 but to each their own
Great video. Can't wait to see the beast come together.
Thanks! You and me both!
I still plan to go 2.7t on my fwd b5
cool content subbed to get all the updates question which camera and mic set up... video looks really clear
Thanks!!! Sony a6400 with a Sigma 16mm lens and a Diety Microphone
MaxPeedingrods Beste 👌
Are those honed in house like IE's?
Im pretty sure all vr6s have forged rods and cranks. The pistons are cast.
Definitely not all, these rods are 100% cast and so is the crank

Tried using the discount code and it expried :(
You forgot the s in the title :P
Oh when watching the vid the rods say the same. Strange
I just learned yesterday that there’s no S in there. Caught me by surprise too.
I’m pretty sure u could get better gas mileage with those rod’s?
Just driving regularly
How different is it to swap a vr6 into a 1.8t a4 b5 ??
It would be almost identical.

Thanks man!! And yeah I’m gonna have the rotating assembly balanced. Trying to get it all done right this time around.
Wait.. VR6 Build? I haven't seen you in a while, therefore I am LOST lol.
Last time I saw you putting together a Single Turbo on the B5 S4..
Yea he decided to go vr6 like most people nowadays. I guess for simplicity
@@vertbully5353 Ahh.. Okay, yeah it just makes sense from a power distribution stand point.

Should be working now.

Good catch thanks!!
