CQ 20v project (Lots of pictures)

[WidowmakerS2]

Lol, so much for the 'many pictures' part.

Got home for easter, so finally got to do something on the car again. Working 1000 miles from home makes it all too long between the times where we can see eachother

Anyway, the list is down to:
-Fixing the 500W fan
-A new wheel alignment
-Make a new battery-box in the boot.

Oh, and the update picture? Yertiz..

[Nuno Cristiano]

Very nice project.

You make Swap engine to 3B?

[WidowmakerS2]

Yup

[WidowmakerS2]

Not exactly an update every day.. How about once a year?
Thing that have happened since the last update:

-ECU homefried (Runs better than whatever chip Ive used before)
-3" 034 Exhaust (LOUD!)
-Rs2 airbox mounted.
-Changed both tie rods.

Still haven't sorted the fan, but I'm at it this week. The car also need some alignment of the propshaft done. I can feel it wobble at low speeds

Also tried to order a new steering damper today, as mine is shot. N/A

Beautiful car. Love the look of the RS4 wheels. And your ride height.

Keep up the good work and throw us a bone (update) every now and again!

[WidowmakerS2]

Still at it with this one.

- Fixed the 500w fan by taking a resistor pack from a 200 3b and using 3 relays for the different fan speeds. Got a nice writeup from someone on here (I'm bad with names).

-The old brake setup was sold a while back, but Big-reds are going on this weekend.

-Still some problems with the heater fan not starting. Haven't done alot to find out why, but whenever i switch from OFF/AUTO on the display it gives a blip of 3V to the fan

I also had some issues with boost pressure, as it boosted 2 bar on the K24 with homefries. Sorted it by changing the WG spring (as i had 1bar mech. pressure) and changing the N75->WG hose.
A new setup is in the works though, looks like it'll be a K26/27, 440cc injectors, 3 bar fuel pressure and aiming for 370ish hp. I'm more worried about the gearbox than the rods

Still working far from home, so I'm usually only home every 4 weeks or so.
Still kind of worth it though, as my work is somewhat of a boys dream.

My other car is a tank



1500hp, 3434nm and 0,65 MPG

Have you a pics of relocating battery?

[WidowmakerS2]

Not yet, I'm sorry.

I tried different ways to fit the battery in the boot before ending up with what I have now. First setup was way bak in the boot, but the thought of a rear shunt pushing the battery into the fuel tank made me think again.

From a weight perspective it's best to have it in the rear right side and as close to the ground as possible. That's what I've done. I used a closed plastic box with metal rods to hold it down, and a small hose through the vent holes for ventilation.

[WidowmakerS2]

Haha, almost had to pay to get rid of them

She's in the garage for now, doing a bit of fiddling now and again, but it's to cold really.
It's been too long since I was home, I'm guessing the tires are square come summer..

Update:
-440cc Injectors ready
-Wideband installed
-Bought a Wagner Rs2 EVO manifold. Love it!
-K26/7 bought

Klart jeg er det Morten

[Holla]

haha, my nick on this forum might just be somewhat revealing

you should come to the locale meetings when your home! Nice to meet people with older cars, not just the new plastic

are you in the "first time service" or is it profession?

[WidowmakerS2]

Could be..

Car is currently without plates, so no meets in the near future I'm afraid. Hoping to get that sorted around April. Just have to find the right place to get the EU control done. I'd have to agree with you on the plastic though.

4 years in the service, currently training tank commanders up north
