and updated. back to your regularly scheduled project updates

Alright. some big changes. updated to PHPBB3.3.15 which required several things to update. the downside: I couldn't easily migrate the theme so i just started over with a template that looked ok. i dont have a ton of time these days to figit with look and feel items. i just need shit to work :)

the ...

my plan is to do a phpbb update (much overdue) which with any luck will fix the broken phone pic posting tools.

Hello. I’m trying to upload some pics and I keep getting “The image file you tried to attach is invalid”. Anyone else having this issue? Show me the way. Thanks! :beer:


I think i responded to this one directly but the problem is just on phones. the browser version on a pc/mac uploads photos just ...

2015 A8 from copart. wreck didn't even break the cooling system.

I tripped, fell, and decided a 4.0t was a better plan. Shorter better packaging and more efficient

got the nose pulled this weekend. Cooling system is going to get a major re-work. not enough fan area so i'm likely to add an additional auxillary radiator to the passenger fender area.

looking over the c5 motor my primary area of concern is clearance to the brake booster. the c5 has a lot going on ...

11 year bump?

Just picked up a c5 RS6 motor for the car. Going to pull the motor and swap to factory me7 (we tune these all the time). Turbos will likely change while I’m at it from what’s in there now.

Kinda excited to revive this thing. Needs a thorough interior cleanup and probably a vinyl wrap.

Hi Ed! a lot changes in 15 years but glad to see so many familiar names still checking in.

just fixed some image URL issues with my old gallery software so some of the deal image links should be coming back.

had to refer back to my own notes from a project link on my wagon about oil cooler stuff ...

i know traffic is low lately but i've been getting multiple down notifications from the server. I dont have much time for website dev these days but looking into it amazon bots have been hammering this site for some unknown reason. i drop kicked them at the door and things seem back to normal ...

07k is a great engine, but the cost and complexity of getting that to mate to the 4kq is going to be a show stopper unless budget is no object.

250-300hp is easy AAN territory. yes its 90's tech but there is a reason everybody does it. fairly easy, it works, and makes great power.

turboing the ...

my first post in about a hot minute here. lol.

INA makes an adapter plate, we are doing our first kit at EFI and will have the parts on our website soon. maxx ecu on an s6 for the first one, we are using a b7 throttle pedal and a 74mm bosch e-throttle.

Since we all love shiny things that fit in our engine bays, behold the new INA Engineering small chassis oilpan. coming soon the the EFI web store :)

I dont normally cross link things but a customer did a nice writeup on fixing dead instrument cluster auto checks. Hat tip to Jean Villemagne. Enjoy.

lol. I dont think any of this adds up to a 'cheap build'. I hope thats not a shock

rooting for you. done right this car will rip.

we (EFI) will have some steel 01e rs2 rep trans mounts coming soon. just got a cnc plasma table and I dig it :)

I will 100 percent take a set. If you need some measurements taken let me know.
I dont know how much longer these have left before they completely fail.


I have jigs all made up. it ...

looks good. I hope it sucks!

great work. keep it up! intake is next for me as well after oil pan.

2019 will be the year of the urq. or mine anyway.

This car will be running and driving by the end of the year. on 07k power.

So, to get my mojo moving I started playing with oil pan ideas. to "get r' done" I think I'm going to attempt to modify the stock pan to fit the subframe. I did some testing ...

correction: you had f6dtc. which is a non resistor plug. the "r" denotes resistor.

the connectors are different between 4.2 and 4.9

I personally prefer the 4.2. I've tested both extensively and find the 4.2 to be tougher in the long run while providing nearly the same response time. the 4.9 is marginally faster response, yes.

for a 4.2 I use bosch 17014. 4.9 is harder to get at ...
