SWB Quattro Project

[G60Rallye]

Thought it was about time for a litte more on the car. Havent done much to it lately, as I have been working on other cars.

My wheel studs and nuts turned up from America huge thanks to Aaron (speeding-g60) for posting them over to me. Nice and long so I can use spacers if needed, also got 2 sets of nuts one taper seat the other ball seat.









Tightened in with a bit of loctite



I then decided to tighten up everything underneath and get it sitting back down on its wheels. I am going to put it on some skates so it can be pushed around to give some more room for finishing it off. I also got the front towing strap fitted and the front bars painted.













Yes I know it sits lower at the back than the front, thats to be sorted. I have now got the boot to sort, mount the tanks, and finish the plumbing. Then I am moving back onto the engine untill its up and running.

I have a load of stuff on order to get it running. Motec M84 ECU, 1100cc Bosch injectors, RS4 coils, lots of sensors, and an engine wiring loom. Most of it will be here this coming week so its shouldn't be too far away from firing up now!

Awesome, just awesome

Got most of the last bits and bobs tied up in the boot. Started by making a couple of alloy brackets to hold the header and catch tanks:



That meant the tanks could be bolted in and plumbed up:









Fuel system all finished up:



Cut a hole in the boot floor for the oil tank:



One on the otherside for the fuel tank vent:



How it looks now. You can see the fuel tank vent running across under the firewall:







Also had a few parts turn up. Bosch 1100cc injectors, RS4 coils, Bosch spark plugs, and a load of sensors:





So I am now back to working on the engine untill its up and running. Hopefully it shouldn't be too long now!

Very tidy Hamish are those three pressure sensors i can see?

whats your budget for counselling when it all gets dirty Hamish?

+1 & I dread to think how much money you've thrown at this project....

Just an Epic Thread...

Just wish I had the money & skill to do something like it!!

3 Motec pressure sensors, they were hard to pay for, expensive little ******s. Oil pressure, fuel pressure and map sensor.

I wont have any problem getting it dirty dont worry about that! I know how to properly use and abuse a car!

From where did you buy the studs and nuts? How much is a set? Thanks.


BTW amazing project, keep up good work.

Really cool project seems like Proper quality of what you do

I also installed: backpressure, water pressure and 2 temporary crank and head pressure

Been on with the engine getting it ready to fire up. As with the rest of the car nothing is standard and just bolts up!

Started with the cam cover and getting the RS4 coils to fit. The coils needed to sit a lot further down to get onto the plugs, firstly the holes needed to be enlarged to 28mm. I borrowed a drill bit off a mate unfortunatly it was a morse taper, which took a good while to true up in the chuck. Then mounted the cam cover onto a piece of alloy left over from the sump guard.







Then changed over onto a milling bit to relieve the side to get them sitting even lower.



and milled off the ridges to clear the plugs for the coils



After a lick of paint





Next it was onto the fuel rail. Thought about a couple of different brackets but in the end decided to drill through the bottom of the rail as there was just enough meat in it. Had to re-drill the holes on the inlet manifold to suit as well.





Welded up the ISV outlet as its not needed:



capped off the standard air temp sensor location



Drilled and tapped for AN vacuum lines, and the Motec map sensor



Then it was onto mounting the sensors not one of which mounts the way it did on the standard engine!

First up was the crank sensor bracket





Oil pressure sensor I put on the outlet of the remote filter head. Bought a plug and drilled and tapped it for the Motec sensor.





Obviously fitted the remote filter housing at the same time.





Into the main gallery through the front plate



Bought a few more plugs. 2 were drilled and tapped one each for water and oil temp.









Lambda and EGT sensor. The latter also had to have a plug machined to sleve it down.



For the fuel pressure sensor I bought a take off but couldn't find one tapped for -3 they were all 1/8" NPT



So I drilled and tapped the opposite side to -3 and plugged up the 1/8" NPT side





Air temp sensor boss welded into the boost pipe



Finally it was onto finishing off the plumbing. Vacuum lines for the fuel pressure regulator and dump valve:



Boost control valve



So its just the turbo lines to finish off now and all the plumbing will be completed.







Finally I drew up the engine wiring loom and sent it to Dave Rowe at EPS who is currently making it up.



So I now have 2 weeks off work and the plan is to finish the car off and get it fired up as long as Dave pulls through with the loom!
