Hi!
Thought Id start a thread about my S2 here since I watch and read alot her on S2forum =)
I bought the car in summer 2011. Ive always liked the shape and lines of the coupe so when I finally landed a job and could afford to buy one, I did
When I bought the car it had an upgraded turbo, intercooler, h-rods and some other stuff and were pushing about 310hp.
Then the Swedish winter came and I decided to upgrade to a VEMS system and new injectors to be able to get some more power out of it. Never made a dynotest afterwards but I dont think I got that many extra horses anyway so it didnt matter. I drove the car like this for the summer of 2012.
Then another Swedish winter came and thats when the madness started!
I had the number 700hp in my head so thats what I headed for.
The choice fell on a 2.5l stroker engine since I thought much power needs a big turbo, a big turbo needs alot of exhaust to work. So I bought an almost new Garrett GT4088R wich is a ballbearing turbo.
Anyways I cant manage to write everything so Im just going to write a list of stuff I put in the engine:
Head:
7A head
7A camcover
7A cams
034 race springs
034 retainers
Tommis upper camsprocket
Custom homemade intake manifold
Bottom:
2.5l stroker engineblock by Custom Parts Service
JE pistons
H-rods
Leanders lightweight aluminuim flywheel
Garrett GT4088R turbo
Custom Parts Service exhaust manifold
3" stainless exhaust system with 1 silencer sticking out just in front of the rear wheel.
Fuel:
Walbro pump in the tank
Catchtank in the trunk
2 bosch 044 pumps
AN8 lines all the way
Bosch 1700cc injectors
AEM fuelpressure regulator
E85 in the tank
Im sure I forgot some stuff but thats the main stuff
Heres some pictures of the car:
As it was when I bought it:
I havent really made any changes to the outside as Im quite happy with how it looks with the Treser rear lights and the RS2 front. But I did paint the wheels matteblack and put some stickers on it. So heres how it looks today:
And the enginebay:
Yeah, I know the coke bottle Havent got my catchtank yet but it will be the when its time to take the car out of the garage again!
The trunk:
Although I made it to my 700hp goal it has not been all fun. Early this summer the conrod bearings and crankshaft bearings run a bit dry I think:
After this I installed the acuusump kit so I wouldnt loose oilpressure wich I thought was the reason for the earlier engine crash. But after installing this I noticed that the oilpressure would slack anyway. I could do a slow pull and still see the oilpressure gauge loose pressure up on higher rpms. After a few moments of thinking and talking to friends I decided to change oil to a thinner one. I was using a Castrol Titanium something 10-60. Changed it for Kendall 10-50 and immedieatly saw a change!
The car ran smooth the rest of the summer and the plan for this winter was only to put it in the garage and let it stay there until the lakes froze because last winter I bought real icetires for it.
But a month ago now the wheel for the cambelt decided to quit so at around 6000rpm the cambelt came off. Fortunatly only 4 intake valves were a bit damaged and everything else is fine.
Since I hade to take it apart anyway now and wont have it back together before the ice (if there will be any this year) I thought Id do some more upgrades.
So for next year I will have some new parts:
Borg Warner EFR 9180 Turbocharger
Bosch 2200 injectors
Ported head
New cams (cat cams)
New intake manifold
Modified exhaust manifold
Probably new wastegate aswell
The goal for next year will be 900hp +
The stuff Im running will probably be able to push 1000hp but I wont aim for that because then it will end at 999hp.
So thats that. Will update as soon as something new comes up!
Cheers!
