My s2 avant STEP 1

[AndersS2]

Thanks Espen, will check it out tomorrow.

[AndersS2]

Did not get the recaros on ebay as they went for way over budget, final bid on €2700,- !

All parts sourced now to do the mapping, but I lack motivation.
Only beer and sunshine these days.. So the s2 have to wait bit more.

Got a new set of injecors that flows 750ccm @ ? bar and an adjustable FPR for oem fitment. Need to mount these before connecting the new ecu and firing it up. Mobile 1 5w50 also bought, yet to be poured on.
I suppose an update soon to come. I hope.

[AndersS2]

Hey guys.
I got tired of all the beer, so after today all hardware is fitted and mounted!
Tried to book mapping today, but no anwser. Guess the guys are working overtime before vacation, so I have to keep going on that.
I was hoping to get a start/base map for my autronic from the tuner but no joy there, and I guess there isnt anyone in here that have one that they want to share?


I didnt get to bleed the clutch either, as there isnt much room left for a normal spanner. Is the solution to chop a spanner in half?
Any BTDT are welcome

Pictures tomorrow

We need you to finish this and tread on the loud pedal and tell us how it goes!

Working on it!

If I were to borrow a zeistronix or equalant afr measurement device locally, I could be telling you this week how it rolls. I'll see what i can do

Good luck with getting it finally back on the road. I really like the look of your avant!

Thanks Tim. Love the route youre going with your own coupe. It'll be sweet when done


Ok, this was my first time bleeding the clutch on a s2 and I have to admit, what a nightmare! Getting access, have a spanner thats small, but big enough to grab/get hold of, and lastly to do it without pulling the gear linkage off. Biggest challenge on the s2 for me pr now. Anyway now its done and im one (positive?) experience richer.
I will highly recomend this job as a challenge if you have issues with impatience
Edit: Forgot to mention Hansen Motorsport's true commitment to come down and help out with the clutch bleeding. Superior customer care. Check out www.Hansenmotorsport.no

Brakes went smooth on the bleeding. Got the "suck-o-magic" flown in from far far away to assist on the job. Sadly no pics of it today, but i'll se what I can arrange in the future. Basiclly its a machine that can provide both pressure and/or vaccum for bleeding brakes and clutches. Really simple, making it all a one man job. Only used it on the brakes, with great success

As stated earlier on, the new injectors went in smooth along with the new adjustable fpr. Having the right tools like patience (!) and o-ring lube helps much:



Engine, finished atlast! No really, it is finnished!



I Love Aronmatic's carbon coil cover, and it fits well in the 'bay:



Pressurized fun, without heatshield for now:



End result, quite happy even though Im more of a grey guy than having the whole rainbow down in the enginebay:



Hansen Motorsport, highly recomended



Only thing left is to drive the damn thing. Mapping in a few weeks time. Plenty of houres left putting out my hunger for beer until then.

Weeeell, one more thing I need is the rs232 to usb -cable. Guess for what?!

[Acidburn]

Rns - e headunit? or aftermarket management?

Looking good either way mate, got anymore shots of the full car?

One last question, what was the specs of the suspension and wheels when you had the lm rep's on it?

[newsh]

Very, very classy

[dkw_dude]

Agree! Good job. Colour of the coolant is the only thing not black or blue, but that can be fixed hehe.. Is that a black HKS filter?

[Bram]

Wow, looking very clean

Its for the ecu yes, but sourced one now and fired it up on the new ecu. Instant change!
Fullshots coming up.
Suspension is H&R clubsport all the way down and LM reps et 35 in 8,5x18 with 225/40/18 Kendas. No spacers, no rubbing. Would still had them if only the 8-pots fit under them.

Very, very classy

cheers

Agree! Good job. Colour of the coolant is the only thing not black or blue, but that can be fixed hehe.. Is that a black HKS filter?

One should always have a small portion of pink on the car to attract the other sex easier. Only missing a hello kitty sticker
Yes, black replacement filter. You can only get them as a replacement but not when you buy the whole HKS filter itself.

Wow, looking very clean

cheers! now wheres you urQ project?

hey Anders
you just need....

one of these.....

Pictures says a 1000 words, a movie says a bit more.
