I STARTED MY ENGINE REBUILD AUDI R8 FOR THE FIRST TIME! PT5

This is great, you’re doing so well, almost there

is there a part 6?

Clearly not a keeper given you did not replace the initials plenum to manifold paper gaskets. It’s corner cutting like this that helps you chase your tail.

Love your videos m8 realy interesting

Congrats! Takes a lot of self confidence to take on such a massive project on what was originally a $140,000 car.

Sorry if Im wrong but did you show an oil pressure gauge?
That excessive smoke looks like coolent(glycol) burning, I hate to say.

I was thinking you could of run an extension hose on your fuel line, right back into your fuel filler.

: )

Just found your channel mate brilliant stuff keep up the good work

Bro! New subscriber here, absolutely FANTASTIC JOB putting her back together! I put an Audi A8L V8 Awd sedan back together after fitting a used engine after the timing belt broke and killed the original 😂 I had a very similar crank start….. die, crank back up……run…. Die…. Start AGAIN……. Run a little longer….. die AGAIN!…… lol just like you’re dealing with, once you get everything connected and verify oil flow/oil pressure, connect the radiator/cooling system 😂 I did the same thing ! 😂Open that throttle and give her some revvs and blow all that crap out and I bet she will smooth right out! It sounds fantastic on my side! No knocking, no ticking, just nice quiet Open manifolds! 😂😂🎉🎉 Can’t wait to see more!

What happen smoke many more ? Difficute engine start ,Why why ??

On the Audi S5 4.2 V8, the fuel pump fuse is drivers side of the dashboard, brown carrier, number 3 and is a 25 amp fuse...maybe it is the same as the R8 as it is a V8? maybe? 🤔

Totally agree with comments commending your stamina and knowledge on such an incredibly complex engine.

Well done mate!!😊

Beautiful work. Keep it ip more videos sooner

Easy-off oven cleaner works well on those intakes as well I use it on Volkswagen cases when I turn down

Well done 🎉🎉

Give it some throttle so computers recognise throttle bodies to synse

Buy a Henry hoover and tape rubber pipe to end

sounds like you didnt bleed the DI fuel system

How much was the car, the engine & the parts etc?

Nice one. I have rebuilt engines in the past (many years ago) and always had issues. One Toyota engine was so tight after new bearings and machined crank it all had to come apart again and be rebuilt. My Alfa Boxer engine was so easy to work on once you got it out the car but a nightmare to do any thing on while in the car. A 1.3 engine with 4 carburetors. It was so quick off the line a mates MK1 Golf GTI struggled to keep up with it.

Looks like there is still a problem in the right cilinderbank.
At youre first hard start there where little puffs of smoke af turning over a few times a lot of smoke . I think something is up with rings, gasket or valve guides. Would first check you're sparkplugs before starting again.
Good luck on the build.

Dude! Don't accidentally film a carbon monoxide snuff video. Open that roller door!

Trouble with these and many sports cars is they are not really repairable by yer average DIYer without a ramp

should've cleaned everything first, no?

What’s ghost?

Top drawer man! I own a 2012 R8 V10, albeit a different engine, but mostly the same, so ping me if you need pics or whatever of a working R8. Also own a 2007 S8 V10 and two others. I'm a total Audi fan all around. Best!

awesome job!! - but open your unti doors!! LOL! :)

Yeah, I was wondering why it had a lumpy idle and then you casually mentioned ALL the 'bits and pieces' you needed to add to it. SO, you should be very happy with the first start up. It was an excellent first result after rebuilding the motor! Well done! What an achievement!

Been following this series since the beginning, had my fingers crossed for this one!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
😁 that’s what you call a squeaky bum moment Dean
Well done bud that was a mission of an engine build 👍🏼

Great effort Dean, it’s a very complicated engine to rebuild

Hi man, on left side of intake manifold you did not conect vakum pipe, if the right side continues to smoke, check the injectors, good l.

Great , looking forward to see you drive it

When you see the complexities of this engine you can see why electric is the way forward

Sounds like it runs only on 4 Cylinder

Needs the air box and maf sensor hooking up and you'll notice the difference in how it runs

why ? the lump of shit will never be right !!! they are not ment to be fixed ...

Well done mate

Brilliant video once again

Well done all that hard work your are going to end up with a fab car

What’s easier - putting your s4 into service position and taking off the front - or the R8 and taking off the back ?

Well done... Send it 😂

Well Done..... Such an achievement mate 😎👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧

Take some serious confidence to build these engines. Respect to you!

Great job well done

Nice😊

nice attempt on getting the audi running must be interesting to find out why it sounds a bit rough mate.

Well done, it's been an epic job you should be proud

Ahh, top stuff Dean, I'd be scared to death watching that fire up, you will sort it, really enjoyed watching, great work as always , well done.
