They are €18.39 each, the nuts are €3.93. 8A0615335 & 8A0615336 are the codes for the ducts on Audi Tradition and N90651601 for the brass hex nut. They told me that N0122307 was the code for the spring washers but they didn't have them, but Kit managed to pick some up cheap from TPS

Thanks for that. The price does not seem so dear.

There's freight, which was about €25 - that's to the UK.

Were you shocked that Audi Tradition had them at such a fair price?

By the way the build is looking awesome!

Thanks - all credit to Will though!

When I told Will that I'd got hold of a pair, feeling pleased with myself, he just said: "I've got a set here you could've had, have you got the special nuts you need?"

Didn't feel so proud then and had to email AT as to the availability of said nuts...

But yeah, I was expecting them to be something ridiculous like €70!!

.....I came out with more scribblings, this time reading ‘Borg Warner EFR6758.....

but you ended up with EFR7163 if I understood correctly ?

[cardcrash]

That is correct, here it is with the notepad used for the scribblings:

Crank going in:




Some rods & pistons:

Stock Pistons?

[cardcrash]

These are the original rods:




They look skinny, like twigs in comparison.

The new ones are 'VRS H-beam' rods "...are strong as #%£!, and won't break." Apparently.

*edit: oh yeah, the piston 'heads' are stock, may require some skimming but yeah, original.

[Error404]

I was going to suggest skimming them to drop the CR a bit

Updates coming thick n' fast now:






I had no idea what 'ARP Ultra-Torque' was so I looked it up:

Illustrating the before and after machining:

Twist, turn, screw...


And in they are:

As Bernard Matthews once said... Bootiful..

Coming along nicely now Charlie..

That's good to see, hopefully it should all come together quite quickly now.
