RS2 Airbox with 2871R and Wagner Exhaust Mani

[BostonCQ]

Hello gentlemen, I am wondering if anyone has pictures of a small chassis audi with the above mentioned setup? I am running the Wagner replica exhaust manifold sold by 034 and the GT2871R on a 3B, and for the life of me I can't fit this RS2 airbox...! The car is a US-spec '91 coupe by the way.

I have "sagging" engine mounts which I had to shim a bit to get the cold side to clear the frame. If I replaced those, would that give enough room?

All info greatly appreciated

sorry partner, but i can´t help you


i have the Wagner EVO exhaust manifold with the k24 7200 and pipercross cone air fiter... and all fits perferct for me... and i hope all will fit too with the oem RS2 airbox.... for if some day i replace my piper....

the only air box that i have managed to squeeze in is a 3b one. The aby and rs2 one's are too wide.

I think someone has done it on here, but it requires some work on the box. I am sure it was with a 3071 not your one but it may be of some use to you. If you have to butcher a box, let me know, I will swap my ABY one for your RS2 one free of charge!

See Brams project thread for details and pics, it's easy enough to do, I've got an RS2 box with a 3076r turbo

Boston CQ - I have both the ABY and S2 3B airboxes if you want to try fitting both...PM me

Thanks Jamo for pointing me at Bram's project- that was helpful. Peter I'll take you up on the offer before hacking up my RS2 box. If it works, how often do S2 3b boxes float around in the for sale forums?

Dan:

Sorry I wasn't clear...
I plan on using at least the ABY airbox,if the 3B one works for you, let's talk :-)

Did you buy this from Tom? I wanted to pick it up from him, but i was a little late...

[BostonCQ]

Peter: gotcha

And yes, I got the RS2 box from Tom. If the 3b works out then I'll need to sell the RS2. Details to follow...

[Ruffiano]

Yeah, let me know, on here or on Motorgeek (hybrid_hatch)
