rs2 engine problem!(help)

[UrS4boy]

Is my Urquattro no longer Urquattro because I've swapped the WX for AAN? As long as the chassis has RS2 VIN it is an RS2, just with an engine swap, that is all.

Can't totally disagree Martin but in your example you UPGRADED the engine. In this case, going 3B from ADU is a downgrade. If the RS2 car had a 2.0 L 16V swapped in, would it *still* be an RS2 to you? That's "just..an engine swap" too.

To me an RS2 with a 3B is not an RS2 anymore. That said, if the original poster had just said, "I have a 3B on VEMS that is having problems, can you help me?", I think the response would have be more positive.

And it still can be.

Couldn't agree more with djh.

[djh]

he could atleast have put an ABY engine which is the closes thing to an rs2 engine.
an rs2 must have ADU engine to wear the badge,otherwise it become an 80 avant with porsche parts slapped all over it.
not an rs2 any more IMO.

But is yours the original engine that came out of the factory fitted to this exact car? if not then I don't consider your car a rs2 as its not how it left the factory (even with the exception of modifications)

to me Saltinot car it's defenetely an RS2 where the exTimucin car it's not anymore, it's not about bullying but the simple truth.

Question for you - all these cars with 7a heads on them because they are generally in better condition than adu/aby/3b heads with no cracks etc. If the original heads are too far gone and the only financial alternative is a 7a head does this make them any worse as the heads are better but they are not stamped like the originals.

I'd rather have the better 7a head than a cracked and potentially an expensive failure original head.

Just finish reanding it.....

I'm not bullying here, just considering that such a long thread, with so many disasters..
Almost long as the RS2 America one......

Different approach to an iconic car......

Stefano, that's Your simple truth.
If you see how many rs2 have been left unmolested then you will realise that you are a minority. Most of s2 rs2 owners see them as highly modifiable and to ME that doesn't make them less of an rs2.

Besides there are a lot of improvements to be made on the original engine and I wouldn't hesitate to do them to just say that its original.

I have seen a lot of original which are not even reaching 240hp. Does that make them more valuable because they are original?

me to wow someone had deep pockets!!!!!

This was early days tuning not like now some people have learnt it the hard way.
You ''Kids'' have it very easy now.

If you read the original build thread you will see why it no longer has the RS2 engine.

Agree with tonks, stop bullying about the 3B engine, but childish IMO.

Hope you get it running right

It's timucin's old car, yes it is a real one.

So what if it's got a 3b in it, at least its kind of running now which it always refused to do for a few years.


That car was jinxed from the start

[simon20vq]

Silly question maybe but have you got the cam timing out? (did you change the cambelt) On rs2 cam wheel does not align with mark on valve cover on 3b it does

[mackenzie50]

..it's a car that's getting driven ..rather than an immobile garage queen.

And the guys here will help you sort it..Good luck ,Fatii
