Transformation of pleasant family car to politically incorrect monster

I has a new engine!



Exhaust bits are on the way to me (originally for b5 s4, will see what they need for fitment). Turbos are going to be a pair of GT28RS. ECU is on the way, decided to go with tatech this time, as I wanted an ECU that control all aspects of engine already (variable valve timing, electronic throttle and such). Bought b5 s4 gas pedal with sender also, will see what needs to be done to mount it

PS: engine is just stored in engine bay out of way, not properly mounted

Hmm, i was wondering why you are selling all the parts.

Really sorry to hear this, hope you get new engine in soon.

[gedu]

I really have no idea. Most likely I have f'd-up when assembling it all back together

[A80Avant]

im sorry to hear that...how did you manage to do all this damage??

[gedu]

Damn, Damn, F***!

Block is broken . On other news, now I have perfect reason to "upgrade" to 2.7tt engine

Will try to catch my block to take pictures of it, I left it at the machine shop, scrap metal doesn't pay anymore

[gedu]

Well, torque wrech I was using can go to 200Nm or so. I have to ask though, how do you tighten your wheel bolts if you can't go that high

[A80Avant]

arp bolts(head to block) where not tightened in my car on the the torgue setting that was suggested by arp...it was impossible to do so,as it was too tight.It was several Nm lower and it has worked fine.I believe they are wrong in that setting

13th of june 2008. After that it has been in garage in bits. Luckily I did some 0-100km/h runs a week before

[quattro20v]

I hope you get it running before first birthday for the project.

When was the last time you drive it?

[gedu]

If anything can go wrong it will. I don't know have I pissed into Audi Gods morning cereal or what.

Started assembling bottom end back together with stock pistons, to get beast back onto road. When tightening main bearring studs to tension told by 034/Arp, one snapped and took some threads from block with it. So now there is a bit of Arp stud stuck inside my block. I'm not going to try and extract it myself, but let machine shop do it, at the same time they bore the block for 82mm high compression pistons and balance crankshaft assembly, flywheel, vibration dampener and all other pieces. Pistons are on order, current estimate for getting them is end of January/beginning of February.

There are fortunately other pieces that I can work on, finishing chargecooler system with the mods it requires, install new Immo and other bits and pieces.

Right, started disassembling tonight. Thrust surfaces on 034 coated bearings is bare metal, ceramic coating is no more. Luckily got parts today, new oem bearings, whole shebang of gaskets, and new headlamp glasses (will tell more later, if all goes well). Also got my new rods, made from billet by PO metal here in Finland (have proven themselves in 250HP/10krpm engines, that power is for 1 cylinder )

[gedu]

That too.

We'll see what happens with a motor that has some things done differently compared to normal high power engines If I decide that it's too civilized, I could always add water injection for those truly mental occasions

I think about 034 coated bearing to my engine. Why they are worse than OEM RS2?

They are not hardened, they are soft like the OEM 3B bearings and are not good for high power machines.

[gedu]

Well. They are with integrated thrust bearings. As in other thread is stated, not that good for a street engine. Oh, and they seem to be a bit tight, even for engine thats seen 250kkm.

Have ordered Wiseco pistons, with raised compression, for 82mm bore. Also ordered PO metal billet rods, with arp2000 bolts.

OEM bearings (not 034 coated ones)

I think about 034 coated bearing to my engine. Why they are worse than OEM RS2?
