A nice little write up on the car from Ultimate dubs with Dave Rowe's S1 and James's S2.

Epic amount of work has gone into this. Enjoying the thread

Yeah its a DSY. I thought they had all the good bits? As long as it will pull 2nd quickly thats a big step over the 016 box.

yeah, and oil cooling must be very good for a race car...

it seems that the only ones 01E boxes with wide first and flexible shaft are all CRB from RS2´s ,lates CGR´s from ABY engines and Diesel boxes like DPJ/DQT.

Audi S4 01E with the wide first gear, flexible mainshaft and oil cooler.

looks very good¡

Audi S4 DSY box? if yes,AFAIK are oil cooled and wide first but not flexible

DSY from S4 end with 105 J?

then mean only wide first , just like the lates UrS4 5 speeds boxes CET but these ones does not have oil cooler

Managed to get a little work done on the car this weekend. I looked at various pulleys to drive the alternator off the prop and found an alloy saxo underdrive one that looked to be about right. I had thought about boring it and pushing it on over the nose of the diff but it wasn't quite large enough for that. So I decided to machine it and put it on the front of the diff which would also act as a spacer for the prop seeing as the new gearbox is a little shorter than the old one.





So I machined up 2 discs of alloy and pushed them into the pulley so it was back to a flush face either side. Then machined the one side with a 4mm nose to sit into the input flange of the diff.



The other side got machined to take the 100mm cv joint of the propshaft.



Then I machined the centre to take the plunge of the cv joint and drilled the holes.



So with that done I dropped the subframe off the car and set about mounting up the alternator. I welded a couple of bits to the diff mount which stiffen it up and also hang the alternator off. I welded them on wide so the alternator needs shimming so it can be lined up perfectly. Did a bit of trimming to the subframe to get more swing on the alternator. Just need a belt and a rose jointed link to tension it now and its done.







Should be back down on its wheels pretty soon then a big clean up for Ultimate dubs!

what kind of gearbox is it mate? good job with everything¡

Front hubs are standard S2. Rear hubs have been bored for 82mm front bearings and use a front flange which takes the large spline shafts like the fronts.

awesome!

[Wheeljack]

Are you just using front S2 hubs in the rear then with the 82mm bearing? Or which hubs did you end up using?

I like the works solution, but also noticed that Prospeed car has something a bit different. I don't have a good picture of it, but will be asking Lubo for more details next time I talk to him.



Cheers

Definatly a good idea with the gearbox mount. Its something I regret not sorting on mine. The other option is to come over the top of the shaft and cut some off the bulkhead.

[ralleyquattro]

Its something I might look at in the future it was a very time consuming piece to make and i started with a lot of it from the 016 linkage.

It only works like that because I welded the hole for the rod further up the trans tunnel in the same place as the works cars. James gave me the measurements from his car. Something to consider for yours to make life a lot easier?

Yes, I will be copying the works setup as well and moving the floor shifter hole as well.
I am also going to try to replicate the works rear transmission mount (bolts to the transmission tunnel) to freeup room for exhaust.
