Each one SO different.[/quote]
There all "projects"

[PRA4WX]

for gosh sake hank put in that mcmaster nut and bolt order in already. I see two pics of backwards EM nuts just so you can get enough thread on the stock EM studs to hold the new turbo EM on

[AudiSport4000]

Oh my...



Nice work!

[death 4kqt]

wow, this is so cool. Love the idea of the new 20vt swap.

[quattro87]

Looks good Sean!! I was going to swing by Saturday, but didn't know if Hank was working the weekend and I got busy. Is the Urq ready for Cars n Coffee yet? I would have went for that.

[Highlander]

Looking great guys.

I can't wait to see it in the engine bay.

Cheers,

Craig.

I cant wait to get my 07k in my urq:-)

and its out

[Wizard-of-OD]

Also how much room do you gain in the front?

About 4 inches over the original Audi I5...

And even more if you use an OBH box!

[Hank]

When they become reasonable, less than 2000usd, that is probably when I wil 07k my urq. Shoot, I am tempted now.

[ralleyquattro]

From what I have seen the new style box will not fit in the stock tunnel because of the extra bulk, so a lot more needs to be done to the floow to make it fit, see cowboy's page (from Poland) on their 2-door quattro sedan with VR6 turbo and new style box.

[glibobbo21]

Holy shit batman!

[40v4kq]

Hank or Sean, Maybe I missed it, but what has been done to the 2.5 internally to make it boost friendly?

[glibobbo21]

rods/pistons

[40v4kq]

Thanks. So I take it that everything else is completely stock. Has a set of turbo cams been thought of by chance? Just curious.

[Mcstiff]

rods/pistons

The stock bottom end can do ~400whp. No aftermarket cams on the market, yet.

[Hank]

e85 and stock they are only 10:1.... People are seeing 400whp on 91 octane. I still haven't heard a stock piston/rod failure, but there aren't that many pushed 2.5L setups.

[40v4kq]

What rods and pistons are being used? And what compression is the motor now?

[Hank]

DMforged plus JE's. Probably do 9.5:1 but maybe 10:1

[a_CQ]

Don't be pussy. Leave it at 10:1 with that magic juice should be np, right? =)

[quattro v1.0]

Getting back on track.

A few hours this afternoon got us here, stay tuned for the trick cam cover that's in the works.



Even if we add as much weight as Hank (98lb) ;o} We are still this much lighter than the previous setup. Significant weight reduction is apparent by the fender gap at the front.



Here is how much room we have on top at the upper core support



Huge gains made down low, room for a nice thick core for a low mount intercooler



Tucked in nicely is a dual pass radiator, and we aren't giving up any accessibility and still room for fans



This is a single-core, but promises way better surface area over the stock radiator



With consideration to all the fitment and measurements, they are worst-case scenario - the engine can and will move towards the rear by 3/4 of an inch once we get the proper transmission mounts fitted. The assembly is all sitting on standard RS2 transmission mounts.



Still have lots of supporting mods and parts required, but this is looking pretty promising as it comes together.

[Audilard]

Awesome work!

[Mcstiff]

Lookin good! I'm thinking B4 rad and AC condenser with FMIC will fit in a CQ nicely B-)

[85oceanic]

Damn, that's looking awesome! Like*
