Engine Build - AAN / ABY/ RS2 20vt - Questions?

[lcsmith]

Hi guys,

That's me gathered up all the parts I need for my AAN / ABY / RS2 20vt conversion, I'm putting the engine in an Audi 80Q (Type 89) - thread - http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52258

Since the engine is out I’m going to get the components all cleaned up and painted and rebuild everything, while it’s easy to get around it I thought I might as well change the timing belt and do the cylinder head gasket…….so……..

So on the garage floor I have;

AAN engine

ABY Wiring Loom
ABY Water Rail
ABY Fuel Rail
ABY PCV System
ABY Cam Cover
ABY Boost Pipe

Audi 90 Instrument Cluster
Audi 90 Flywheel
Audi 90 Radiator, Plumbing, Brackets, etc
Audi 90 Sachs Performance Clutch kit with reinforced pressure plate and organic clutch

RS2 Remapped ECU - Hoffer
RS2 Injectors - Hoffer
RS2 Hybrid Turbo - Hoffer
RS2 Exhaust Manifold
RS2 Inlet Manifold
RS2 Intercooler

Porsche 996 Front Calipers (425/426)
314mm Audi Discs

OEM Boost gauge and “turbo” vent blank – Ebay.de

I'm looking to get;

044 Fuel Pump
Metal Head Gasket & Head Bolts
Thermostat & Seal
Exhaust Manifold Gasket – Do I need an RS2 exhaust manifold gasket or are they the same?
Inlet Manifold Gasket – Do I need an RS2 inlet manifold gasket or are they the same?
Turbo to EM Gasket – Which gasket do I order?
Turbo to Down Pipe Gasket – Which gasket do I order?
Turbo to EM bolts
Turbo to Down Pipe bolts
Wastegate Gaskets – I’m using the AAN wastegate, I read that there is no such thing as a wastegate gasket, can anyone confirm this?
Cam Cover Gasket Kit – Do I need an ABY cam cover gasket kit?

Samco Hoses.....?
Bambridge Brackets
Porsche brake pads to fit those calipers

Hoffer reckons that it should be around 350-370bhp, do you have any other recommendations / advice, or do you think that everything else is strong enough to reliably cope with the upgrades?


Cheers

Great looking start to your project, defo no waste gate gasket got mine off at the minute and it's just a metal ring that sits in between.

I'm looking to get;

044 Fuel Pump - drifting jo had a good link for them
Metal Head Gasket & Head Bolts - get a head set from gsf NOT pete reeve as they are cheaper than him.
Thermostat & Seal - tps/gsf
Exhaust Manifold Gasket – Do I need an RS2 exhaust manifold gasket or are they the same? - it will be in the head set
Inlet Manifold Gasket – Do I need an RS2 inlet manifold gasket or are they the same? - in same kit as above
Turbo to EM Gasket – Which gasket do I order? - stock one should do
Turbo to Down Pipe Gasket – Which gasket do I order? - stock one should do
Turbo to EM bolts - ebay are cheap for these
Turbo to Down Pipe bolts - same as above
Wastegate Gaskets – I’m using the AAN wastegate, I read that there is no such thing as a wastegate gasket, can anyone confirm this? - don't remember seeing one.
Cam Cover Gasket Kit – Do I need an ABY cam cover gasket kit? - in the gsf kit

Samco Hoses.....? - get roose, they will turn up quicker
Bambridge Brackets - brilliant stuff from him
Porsche brake pads to fit those calipers

- check out le audi s2's group buys.

A victor reinz kit will get you the majority of bits you are after, they are around £70 from gsf.

Thanks djh! Answered all my questions

I'll get ordering tomorrow, had a quick look on gsf but the head gasket set is out of stock, I'll give them a call though to double check, if they don't have any then I'll call quattro corner.

The Roose hoses look good, I think I'll maybe have to buy them as I go along, they're a bit more expensive than I thought

I found driftin jo's link but the link doesn't work.....

[djh]

quattro corner will be around 50 quidmore from the price he was selling them on here.

Can you buy stuff from him through the forum?

Get a set of rods.....

[lcsmith]

Which rods and where from?

Right guys next question - which rods and where from?

[Jamo]

Aromatic2 for rods

[SE_30]

I'd include a oil & water pump while it's out... then you could do the mains, big ends, thrust..... ohhh where do you end.

aronmatic2 doesn't have any until the end of the summer he reckons, any other suggestions for rods?

I've got the water pump already, the oil pump I will price up.

Thanks for the input

Personally I'd just check the condition of your existing oil pump, new oil pumps are very costly and there have been some issues regarding their quality. You need to check the lash between the gears with a feeler gauge, can't remember the figure off the top of my head.

[JP]

Integrated engineering with the force fed wrist pin oiling. More expensive option but that way you retain the original pressurised oil feed to the small end bush providing it with longevity when running big boost figures.

Pretty sure JP is talking about Connecting rods
