Now then lads and ladies,
not so much a build thread as ive done all the pain in the **** work and bleeding knuckle fabrication work but this is a sort of carry on from getting it running 2 yrs ago!
in 2010 i decided i loved my daily drive 2.5TDi Quattro Sport Avant so much i was going to sell my 500+bhp cosworth and modify my A4 by putting my dream engine in it...........
so bye bye shonkey old sierra with one off paint and one off fabricated.......... well everything in the engine bay really lol (note the wastegate that i always fit to my cossies lol
)
Anyway the shonkey old scary sideways at 140mph on boost nutter ******* was sold, i bought this as a stopgap and to eventually rip the engine out of, came from Carlisle and the drive home to essex was a propper flat out 5 cylnder blast!
so i took the car back to essex, (home is newcastle) and alternated between the A4 and the S4 for about a year untill i totaly blew the origional tuned (212bhp) 2.5 tdi engine up and i decided to bang the 5 pot in (SILLY SILLY mistake!)
i advertised the S4 minus the engine and harness, and was offered a cash deal for my complete black S4 against a rotten green S4, the deal was sone and i stripped the green shed!
at that point i was runing my own buisness in Ilford, Essex so i whipped the 2.5tdi out and sold it on Ebay for a tidy sum :mischeif:
here was the car as a 2.5tdi before it was abused lol note the cosworth gpA air filter lol (and £800 worth of wytec coilovers, very low!
)
so the diesel paperweight was sold...........
then
3 months of working on the car from 6am till 11pm EVERY day solid let me drive this out of the workshop..........
the work was so extensive that i had to modify the engine cradle,mounts, front pannel (cut it out completley!) and radiator, abviousley due to no front pannel i couldnt secure the bonnet closed, so i fitted Areo catches, nice!
and we were roadworthy
i noticed the car boosted like mad but had no power, i discovered that someone had left a rag in the pipe to the first intercooler........... lol rag removed and **** me........... where off!
Boosting hard and off for a VW meet at Renegade dubs, got there and the car was mobbed by onlookers
on the way out i launched it in 1st, flames and bangs on the rev limmiter then gently poodled away, a few mile down the road i lost all power and was greeted with pops and bangs, oh dear!
regretably i took the owner of the donor cars word that it had a belt kit fitted 3 weeks before the deal was done, and i had paperwork to proove this, what he didnt say was that they ****ed it up, snapped a bolt in the belt tensioner and said nowt.......... nice!
so with the head off and all 10 inlet valves replaced i bolted it down again and we were off................ WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!
well, nobody told me about changing the cam and inner crank pulleys at the same time...... guess what............. yep, broken crank sprocket lets itself known and takes the cam pulley with it!
again, 10 inlet valves, skimmed head and ported head this time
i had bought an 034 motorsport stage IIc ECU, GT35r turbo, AAT 2.5 bottom end and 200bhp increase NOS kit..............
these were sold (JP got the block, Keiron20v got the ECU, Turbo went on Ebay, and Nitrous kit went on Ebay) as i needed to repay money id borrowed to get the fu cked engine back together ASAP as it was now my daily hack due to chopping up both the cars i owned lol!
Anyway............
it was fixed in time for GTi international and i kicked its head right in, but only managed a 1/4 time of 14.4 dead and 0-60 0f 5.4 seconds
Something was wrong
i eventually traced the fault after a year of fumbling about
the ECU had failed and was not giving earth to any of the Engine sensors and was in limp mode!
so ECU was changed and sensors working correctly, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY but no flames on gearchange BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
so as the car stands engine spec wise:
1.9bar wastegate spring from QST
Possible chips/ Remap of unknown descent
.................................................. .................................................. ...........
lets draw a line under that.
i stripped a 1000+bhp Skyline GTR and saved a few bits,
Fuel lines and pumps
Greddy 60mm electronic gauges (Fuel pressure, oil pressure, boost pressure, water temperature, Exhaust gas temperature)
Carbon fiber bits
suspension bits to make my hybrid vw polo/R33 GTR snub mount!
and this is how the car looks at the next stage as of may 2012 (2 yrs into the build lol!)
As of June 2012 the car broke on engine mount, cracked the downpipe and pulled 2 studs out a spirited drive with a 400bhp Evo 6, but can i just say i made up 200ft on the Evo, caught him up, got excited and trusted the handling of my A4 before i washed out hit a yump mid corner and clipped a kurb,
but still drove 300+ miles home
i will repair the car one last time for GTi international, where it will get propper death on the 1/4 mile
the clutch is now slipping badly but what the hell, bring on 23/24th june at Bruntingthorpe proving ground
hopefully the car will be on RS2 injectors by then just for the weekend befoe i buy my own
the build will be an ongoing process as i have a work van and a mondeo that is going to be used for dog walking duties
The A4 will be stripped inside, engine and box removed, solid engine and drivetrain mounts fitted, 400-450bhp engine and on/off paddle clutch, straight cut gearbox, and a big big bottle of nitrous with the help of a big red button on the steering wheel
ALL comments on the build welcome, but if i think your wrong i will say so lol
happy reading and looking forward to a photographic rebuild from july/august
