Jsws3 UR Quattro money pit

[Error404]

Coming together nicely now. Can't wait to see the final finish

[jsws3]

And time to put the lump in the hole !





And before we started to fit the engine up we fitted the sub frames wish bones struts ect ect every thing to get her rolling again
















And now off the ramp and into the spray booth .














And now she is at the point where we have measured the space to fit the intercooler so that's on order and pipe work to connect to both manifolds .

And the rest of the braided lines are on order for turbo and oil cooler

So this week it's off to ptr exhausts to have a 3" exhaust made with 2 silencers and slash cut tips in 3" .

[jsws3]

Ok small update the car is now rolling around the work shop on all four wheels.

It has not been on its wheels for about a year and half.

I'm not going to dribble on two much But plans changed regarding the turbo/manifold/injectors ect ect

The turbo now is a gtx3582
Injectors are now ev14 1000cc
And the exhaust manifold is a equal length iroz motorsport one .
Tial 60mm waste gate
And a 3.5" down pipe
And vems ecu








It's a monster !

We had to but the tial 44mm flange off to make way for the 60mm












Then we heat wrapped the manifold in titanium heat wrap .







Now on to the intake manifold I had it polished and engraved with Quattro coach works logo





And the fuel rail fitted with the injectors .





Back to the engine we started to fit all the manifolds and ancillerys ready to put this monster in its hole .




And it was time to paint the gearbox and all the brackets and ancillerys .

[loaded]

Great progress!!

[jsws3]

It's a ford focus mk1 rarb with matching drop links and brackets wielded on to suit .

[andy10v]

[DJones]

Looking good, won't be long now.....

[jsws3]

Right then the car is now at the point where Ish and the lads need the engine back before they can start fitting the engine bay up and mock the intercooler set up up .

The wiring loom is all in steering rack with arms back in and dash clocks ect ect all working .

All the rear subframe assembly is on all plumbed in fuel lines are in break lines on rear callipers fitted ect ect and the 2 back wheels fitted.

Here is some snaps I took today .

[jsws3]

Either way I think it will be an awesome car - it's in good hands

(Those pockets will empty very quick though lol)

As regards empty pockets I've resorted to pumping my self out on the weekend .

Some of the bits bungs clips ect ect are dam expensive for a bit of rubber !

Ok a small update Jp is 80% finished my engine .
bottom end is built just waiting on the +0.5 valves and supertech valvesprings and titanium retainer set to come from the states then he can Finnish up the porting and polishing on the head .

In the mean time he ported and polished the reverse manifold now it will go off to be powder coated then engraving .









All so on the Quattro front Ish and the boys have been really busy with my car and other projects.

So they started to replace all the break lines from the front of the car to te rear as the old ones had seen better days .







It's not all complete as we needed a couple of unions that was missing in the kit but we have them now so it will be finished up this week .

No on to fitting up the engine bay .
When Ish inherited my project I told him my car was all there just in boxes .

HOW wrong was I ! I have list count of the amount of fittings fixings clips bungs bolts nuts basically the ******* that striped my car down butchered it as if he was selling it for bits .
I have spent a small fourtune with Audi/quattrocorner/and other Quattro specialists in Europe as most bits are now obsolete .

And the fuel lines and fittings with filter turned up this week another job on the list .

In the next 2 weeks the car will e on its wheels rolling round the shop .

Any how here are soe pics of the engine bay .


















That's it for now boys and girls .

Bloody hell mate I hope the foot heals ok plenty of physio will see you ok.

Dumping the focus rs ant really a bad thing when your cruising a rs6 lol .

What clutch set up have you got in the ur ? .

Sachs uprated pressure plate and organic disc. Not much heavier than standard really, but still heavy compared to a lot of modern cars. Was never a problem until the driver started falling apart

I dont think having all those cross linkages (from driver to passenger side) helps the pedal feel for the brakes or clutch, i actually have some new linkage pins etc to fit when i get round to it.
