The Motor was from a low mileage 200 20vTQ. I believe it was right around 100k. The motor was dissasembled by the other chap but he just took the head off and saw there was still cross hatchings in the cylinders so didn't venture down the " While im in here" road. He left that to me, so I have since pulled the motor again and decided to do a full build. The block was decked, line boared and rehoned with oversized JE pistons with Integrated Engineering rods, RS2 main and Rod bearings and crank polished ARP main and Head stud kit with over sized ARP washers.
The head was decked got new light weight lifters, new valve seals and a good port and polishing to smooth out all the rough casting. The valves are stock, will need to address this later with stainless steel exhaust valves at the very least. New low and high oil pressure sending units audi S2 engine harness, RS2 elipisoide headlights, RS2 IC, S2 front and rear bumpers, Volk racing forged rims with 5x112mm bolt pattern. Fully custom built 3' t304 SS exhaust side mount. Porsche boxster brembo front brakes, A8 rotors, audi A4 rear brake upgrade.
Battery has been relocated to the boot to make room for the motor, A/C has been removed by previous owner and battery lines routed through old A/C line location so no a/c any time soon as would be major redesign at this point. Got rid of the distributor and wired in the coil on plug .AAN ecu that I purchased via motorgeeker (Brent) The car is completely stock turbo and engine managment as I am trying to sort out all the little bugs and get the motor running solid before any horse power modifications take place but very very soon.
Looking to get about 600 Bhp or 450WHP but with reliability, hence the full engine rebuild. Still trying to source all the parts for an O1E swap, it would be easier to get an honest anwser out of a politician than it would be to source all the parts required. Best clutch for this hp level any suggestions from any one? Still looking for a good propshaft from the 4k but all I have seen, which aren't many, have rust issues big time and with the HP levels I am going after and the money I have already spent it just seems like it would be wise to err on the side of caution and wait to find one in good nick than to settle for a less than par condition.
Looking at the GTX3576r with .65 A/R can't remeber off the top of my head w/ tuning coming from Hank, we need to discuss this more Hank. Of course all this would have not been possible if I didn't have help from Chris and Brent who have helped me out tremedously with the wiring on this car also the hard to find parts, thank you both! I think I have everything listed except for the wide body kit that will be coming very soon! Stay tuned. Hope to see you all at BBQ 2013!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers to all my fellow addicts
