I’ve upgraded here ‘n’ there since mid-2005, but nothing too major. However, it’s getting close to being returned to me (end of January), so I thought I’d post an update and share the pics I have so far. When I last left the keys at Quattronics the spec was:
* Porsche monoblocks up front (black) with 323mm A8 discs and DS2500 pads (yep, another BRY special)
* Koni adjustable dampers
* RS2 FARB and Whiteline RARB
* Uprated diff, wishbone and subframe mounts
* QRSport top mounts
* Cees machined 3B flywheel
* SPEC clutch
* 034 short-shift kit
* 034 3” turbo-back exhaust with stock-look exits
* RS2 intercooler
* RS2 airbox
* MAF relocated to pressure side
* 7A exhaust cam
* Bosch 044 fuel pump
* Metal head-gasket with ARP bolts
* 2.5 bar MAP sensor
* AutoMark remap
* Silicone water and boost hoses plus MarkH mod
* 10V radiator (to lose redundant secondary radiator pipework)
* R134a air-con conversion
* S8 alloys with 225/40/18 Eagle F1s
* Ellipsoid headlamps
* 6000k HIDs
* Osram Diadem front indicators
* Clear indicator lenses
* Clear side repeaters
* LED sidelights (great find, they match the HIDs perfectly)
* Intermittent wiper relay
* Lupo aero wipers and arms at the front
* A few other small mods
I hoped this setup broke the 300bhp barrier on the K24, but I never got round to a dyno to test it out.
The original intension was to use Audi parts wherever possible (so mainly RS2 parts) and only deviating where there was a significant enough benefit. I wasn’t going for all-out power and minimising lag was a priority. I wanted the untrained eye to look at it, both from the outside and under the hood, and to not really be able to tell it was packing quite a punch. After a long chat with Corey, the new spec was:
* Forged bottom end with SCAT rods, new piston rings and RS2 bearings
* Gas-flowed head with inconnel oversize exhaust and stainless steel oversize inlet valves, Ti retainers and high rate springs
* GT2871
* RS2 or Wagner RS2 Evo exhaust manifold
* MAF fabricated into inlet pipework
* -4dB centre silencer
* Track density engine and gearbox mounts
* Rebuilt gearbox
* Refresh a few engine bay items
He was also going to fit a few items that I had been collecting (e.g. group buy VDO boost gauge, new fuel and water temp gauges, 7A cam cover, real late spec rear clusters) and he planned on throwing in a few items for me that he had lying around (e.g. ABY inlet manifold, new top mounts). Thanks Santa Corey.
Anyway, so the build began. Well, stripping any. Gearbox went off to the gearbox man and the engine can out.
