Audi S2 Coupe Rebuild "Silver Spiken"

[Eriksson]

It had been fun coming over to the UK. 2 of my buddies also drives s2.

Im going for the green ones, the steering feels a bit sloppy. everything is replaced.
Hope new ones sorts the problem.
Also im looking for a whiteline Rarb.

One Question. what setting should i use on my konis ?
i will adjust them when i change the top mounts.

now i have softest rear and one turn on the front.
I would really need some advice for this.


will fix batteries for my camera tomorrow, if i have the time i will post a movie.

Cheers Pelle

From memory I did two turns front 2.5 rear

[Eriksson]

so i should have a stiffer setting on the rear ?

[Corey]

Koni give you 720 degrees of adjustment, the fronts want 50% (1 turn from soft) the rears 75% (1.5 turns from soft). Always makes sure that you return the adjustment back to it's softest setting before adjusting (not applicable to top adjustables)

[Eriksson]

Okey. so the rear shal be harder than the front.
Good thig to know, i will remove the top mouts next week.

You need more boost / power

Hey!

Unfortunately posts cannot be edited after 24 hours ....unless maybe a moderator can do it?)..

As for the vague steering you describe...

Have you tried this......I have to do this also and have an identical problem. It could well be your fix

Keep us posted

[Eriksson]

Okey.

I have tried to adjusted the bolt but it was a PITA to get loose.

Dont know what the sound should be like and how mutch to unscrew the bolt before adjusting it.

Cheers

why arent you using a WGFV?

[Eriksson]

Because my car is not mapped or chipped for my rs2 turbo, ic, 3" exhaust.

It's an turbocenter 270 hp chip boost around 1.4bar
If i use the WGFV the rs2 turbo will flow a lot more air than the Stock turbo.

Also they say that you get quicker spool up if you use an mechanical boost control.

Im gooing for 1bar WG spring and run about 1.1 bar until i find a EX mainfold and larger injectors.
And get it mapped and run 1.5 bar
Now im using stock WG spring 0.4 bar, but i have tried a 0.75bar wg spring and it was quite a diffrance, faster spool up and the boost didn't drop at higer RPMs

[Greg_S]

I can understand the rational, when you have it mapped properly definetly go back to using the WGFV since the tuner can then have proper control of the boost over the whole rev range, how is it running now?
