1992 AUDI S2 Project - Keep it British with a twist.

If you don't have AC you could also consider relocating the alternator to the exhaust side of the engine to make some space in front of the rad, and run with a B4/B5/C4 single stage PAS pump & vacuum servo off the OEM crank pulley. What pressure is the MK4 PAS pump rated at out of interest?

No A/C on this car (plus) .
I really don't want to run any accessories under the exhaust manifold. I never understood why a single belt serpentine kit like what we do for the Volkswagen crowd never kicked off for the Audi guys.


Not sure what you mean by B5 single stage PAS pump + vaccuum servo? The B5 S4 pump I have here is pretty much the exact same as the MK4 pump (have not tested outlet pressure as yet but dimensionally they are same).
Typically the MK4 KYB pumps have a base pressure of 3.5 bar (approx 50 psi) but the pump relief valve setting is @ 100 bar.

waiting on the transmission brackets now.

Hoping it arrives before end of day so I can start the surgery tomorrow.

Transmission brackets did not arrive so the July 13th deadline is fast approaching and basically only have the week days to get the job completed.

That being said , going to be ordering a few bits from Aron:

Will be converting to an AAN valve cover when I change the valve cover gasket (was replaced rather poorly) so I will get:
- AAN timing belt cover
- 3B radiator shroud
- AAN coil pack cover (using the 3B plug wires).

I was searching for an Aluminum radiator and there seems to be a whole bunch on ebay from "Nissen" . Anyone ever used them? Reviews?

The plan right now is to use the AAF alternator bracket (2.5 TDI Eurovan accessory bracket) , convert to a MK4 power steering pump , use a 120A VR6 alternator , build my own tensioning arm using a MK4 unit and convert to Serpentine as I would really love to use the entire AAN timing belt set up and the Fluidampr.

Any thoughts on the above?

don't you just love getting new parts lol

In an impulse buy yesterday , I purchased a complete 0A3 set up from a B7 S4 but decided it would go on the back burner due to the fabricated parts that are needed to make it work and the time frame I have (will take at least 2 weeks to get the CV axles , VSS sensor , centre drive shaft, etc all figured out) so ordered the following:

- Iroz Motorsport 01E in small frame gearbox mounts
- S2 shifter assembly for 01E 6 speed

Hopefully it all arrives tomorrow so I can get the show on the road Saturday.

The B6/B7 use a centre cradle mount for the gearbox which is suspended by a massive brace behind the subframe. I imagine the B8 cars are similar:

Yes I make mounts for the B6/B7/B8
I was just wondering about the 02X but looking at photos , it will not work.

I've got one of these, planning to redeisgn my lower chassis brace bar to incorporate this cradle as a 3rd gearbox mount. Again IMHO it is a better design to the previous style of using 1 mount either side as it helps stop the driveline shunt we all know & love

PS - I wouldn't use that as a jacking point

S2 01A linkage will not work it is totally different. B5 or B6 S4 is the best bet, its a better design - needs shortening and the shape altering a touch to clear the tunnel

Just read your thread one more time. You said you used an 0A3 gearbox. I have access to brand new 02X GVE's (B7 A4) for $1200 USD , however , they don't have the same mounting holes as what you are showing:






compare to this:

what did you use for the rear differential and centre drive shaft?

p.s. your OCD is worst than mine...

Ahh apologies, missed that. Blame the hackaloureous PO

fixed

3b engined s2s had 108mm inners even on 01A box. Only the cq20v and lesser cars had 100mm inners.

Yes I am aware of that but this S2 had a CQ gearbox (code confirmed and cup diameter confirmed) & driveshafts put in it which we later found out the hard way. Does not matter though as I access to both 108mm and 100mm flanges .

B5 or B6 S4 is the best bet, its a better design - needs shortening and the shape altering a touch to clear the tunnel - but they are really cheap compared to S2/RS2 linkages. Some details in my project thread about adapating the B6 linkage to work

You are a bad influence...
I went 18's after seeing this picture.

BTW, your 3B driveshaft should be a direct fit to the 01E so you shouldn't need the rear diff flanges.

Sorry not following this part. The 01A's are shorter which is why you require an 016 driveshaft? Also this 01A has inner front 100mm flanges on it.
