Jogi's New Project

[jogi730]

Ok, the 530bhp monster is dead. I have listened to (some ) advice and have drawn a line under it.
This new thread is not quite starting anew, but will list progress from the dead car I have now through to its resurrection and new life :mischeif:.
My collection of parts is in progress and I will post as I go along.

Nice to see you're staying upbeat about it all chris, the parts are waiting for you when needed

what sort of power/lag you aiming for this time?

[jogi730]

New body parts

Unfortunately, new parts are NLA in the main. Due to the well documented smash and the appalling repairs, here are a few bits I have managed to get hold of for the old girl.


New bonnet




New bumper - to hide new IC (this will be customised later)

[jogi730]

Exhaust Manifold

This is how an EM should look



Another



Collector

[quattrostyle]

nice to hear/see this

will you do the most yourself this time?

how badly damaged is the car now then, and how many times has it been painted now?

[jogi730]

Inlet Manifold

I think this looks the business



The marks must be Jyrki's paw marks







And perhaps more imortantly, the internals

[gavs20v]

excellent, a new beginning.
looking forward to catch up soon matey, ill try and give you a ring this week and see how progress is coming along

[Ian Simmonds]

Well done Chris.... Go for it mate, but can you fill in the blanks to what's happened... Are you sticking with the old girl (the basic car),? the old girls engine?, the turbo?...

PM if you like but I need to know...

Gearbox

New 6 speed -note adapter on diff plate to accept mechanical speedo.




Stiffened transmission and rear diff mounts

[jogi730]

Old engine is staying more or less the same.

THe Pectel is still a very good unit but overcomplicated, meaning more than anything, only one or two people can map the system. As has been shown with my 'episode', even fewer can actually do it properly. Therefore, there could well be new ECU and if so, will most probably be KMS MD35 unit with new custom loom.

Most importantly, the interface, although a little more complicated than some, should still be easily manabgeable by reputable tuners who know what they are doing. The software and manual is downloadable from their site.

Not sure on turbo option yet. As tuner is installing their own dyno, can exchange a couple of turbo's and map to see best option. I want to get it right this time and then leave alone.
The two main conteneders on the table at the moment are the T61, but with different trim which Ahmed Bayjoo has come across.
Also CompTurbo CT355 which Jyrki is supplying. If this is half as good as Jyrki thinks, I could be very pleased

Window Trim

Last post for now.
Couple more bits of trim



These are needed due to the fact they were damaged by the imcompetant moron that had my car to repair it following the last tuner smashing her up.

Note the N/S rear trim is missing and the N/S front is very slightly damamged.
Has anyone got these lying about -stab in the dark?

I am talking just about the engine here
Mind you, by the time this project is finished, I'll be even older. Maybe I will develop Alzheimer’s by then?

Jogi, i may and i mean "may" have the trim piece in a box in the attic, i'm home tomorrow night so i'll make a note in my phone to remind me to look for you... I know most of what i have left is useless and its an audi 80 but anything i can do to help give us a shout

Best of luck mate!

EDIT: just realised those bits are the ones I sent you a while back I'll see who i can contact about possible replacement ones.
