Finnish users probably already know this, but i thought to share here also.

I'm building 5cyl b5 avant q, base model is 1996 2.8 30v.
I'm going to quickly explain last six months and update more regularly because translate work for would be pain in the @$$ to do.
Whole story can be found from audifinns forum, sadly finnish text but correct timeline on pictures http://www.audiclub.fi/audifinns/sho...d.php?t=154743

What fuel are you going to use? Interested to see you've gone for a high compression ratio.

[Hammu]

Ethanol fuel for full boost driving, 98octane could be usable for very low boost.

[V6quattro]

Nice Parts you have got there! Do you already know what turbo you gonna use?

[Hammu]

I think garrett gtx3582r 2gen.

Nice project! I have been watching this on audifinns. I have something for you...

Thanks, that was I figured. I wish we could get E85 at the pumps in the UK

[V6quattro]

I think garrett gtx3582r 2gen.

Okay nice! But I don't think you'r 1100cc injectors can handle that on e85.

Great to have this project thread here, thank you neighbour!

And happy to see you finally on E85 side.

Be interested in what the rear mount rad setup will be.. Mine is being mounted in a saloon and wondering what inline pump to use...

[Hammu]

Okay nice! But I don't think you'r 1100cc injectors can handle that on e85.

Yeah, it is possible. I have had these for 4 years so i will upgrade when this project is moving.

Great to have this project thread here, thank you neighbour!

Everybody turning to alcoholists...


I am going to use davies craig ewp150 with 30mm inner diameter aluminium pipes to radiator and back.
With 30mm lines and pump on 100% duty, theoretical water speed is roughly 3.5m/s if i remember correctly.
Air removal plays huge part in making this rear radiator system being effective.

Yesterday we designed exhaust manifold with my friend, who welds manifolds a lot. Old hks/schwitzer hybrid turbo with broken axle was good mock up for size.

Also i welded boost pipes from ic towards throttle body.
Pipes are 2.5" with 3mm wall strenght, just before TB there will be growth to 3" and hpx-e MAF.
Throttle body is fully electric and also 3", same as in c5 v8, b5 rs4 and so on.

Note to self once again. Do not touch welded aluminium. It is hot.

i love your project

[Hammu]

Not much of a progress, gathered some parts and welded part of boost pipe and mocked up exhaust manifold.

love this!
