Two pages of motors going in and out.

Audi life.

Damn dude. That's some bad luck. Can't wait to see where this is heading once the power is sorted.

tested compression 0, 0, 0, 148, 148

looks like i need to swap anther motor. looking into a 1.8t swap.

[dspl1236]

that was quick shipping from Ca.

Javad@ 034 hooked it up....these are on its way

[dspl1236]

fired up, but have a dead injector on cylinder 2. its funky style too. fuel return is built into the top of the injectors and is fragile. all of them are broken...but it does run. might need to upgrade to some bosch's with injector adapters....

battery crapped out soon as i went to start it. ha

coils are not on just yet, want to see it run drive before i did that. also had a few offers to buy it sight unseen...(could then finish the v8 coupe) so not sure what my plans are.kinda just going with the flow of things

[TeckniX]

Glad to see this thing is still alive and going (well about to be anyway).
Did you swap the coils over yet? Does it crank/turn over?

v-banded


about ready to swap in

[dspl1236]

no work today....so ill work today

been lazy...also every chance to pickup the engine fell through. so i rented a truck and did what i had to do.

also snagged an early coupe "bag-o-snakes" header

[dspl1236]

yay time to swap a motor!

[dspl1236]

plans are to swap in a stock motor and swap the v8cq coilovers onto this one so i can just go out an cruise it.

[dspl1236]

the locals are trying to get me to 1.8t this....

i want to keep an inline five...but i am open to ideas

163hp stock - I have a 170k mi unopened long block that hasn't run in 2-3yrs

180hp stock - i would love to use a new vw 2.5 20v i5 motor, but it was it mounting challenges plus new harness/ecu....

170-190hp? stock - if i use an older eurovan 2,5 10v block..its like 8:1 with a 20v head and thus would need to get decked a bit to bring up the compression.

150hp stock - i have a 2001 a4 1.8t bottom end that needs honed and pistons replaced. i have a large port aeb head that was given to me yesterday that was on my old jetta(like 4-5 cars ago)...but would need a a4/passat engine harness...have a stock ecu from my old a4


big boost can/will be obtained on all setups above

i would like to see it run stock before i do anything drastic
