Hanks URQ 2.6L Autopsy

[quattro87]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the tall TDI 6th gear makes this car a much better road car without sacrificing much in the lower gears. There are a engines that wouldn't have the torque to pull this 6th at 75mph..... This 2.6 stroker does just fine and motors along at a civil 2200 Rpm in the process. I don't think it will be enough economy to offset the 5 mpg average of the weekend, but it should do decent on a long cruise with someone other than Hank driving.

No need for stroker, my lowly 2.2 manages just fine.
I get 11L/100km average but I don't drive the crap out of it like Hank does

[chaloux]

Yeah right Martin! Don't believe that for a second, lol

[Hank]

This 10:1 engine on e85 and crazy flow makes for some great VE. I can cruise on surface streets at 55 @ 1600 rpm and get out of people's way. NA I bet this motor makes more than the stock URQ for hp or torque.

Found this Gem on an article somebody posted on my facebook

I remember that day. Same day someone else went digging for gold...

[nsimps]

Co-worker friend just showed up at my cubicle to tell me a story about an old red Audi he saw at the Vegas Speedway onramp on Monday... Said it was being tailed by a BMW that was trying to keep up...and the sound thereof was awesome.

I quickly showed him a certain video of an old red Audi in the shop area of Vegas Speedway. Confirmed the same one

Small world we live in!

[quattro87]

If said video is the same I am thinking, how could he really tell it was the same audi what with all the smoke screen?

[Wheeljack]

I believe there was a positive match on the acoustic signature...'sound thereof was awesome'...yep, same one.

[quattro87]

I'll bet you are right....that sort of slipped past me.

This motor rocks, but I think it's days are numbered the more I play with the 07k stuff. Anybody shopping for a tall deck 2.6L

[Audilard]

I'm ignoring this post!

O_O

Me too!

[chaloux]

Some people...

[nsimps]

I won't turn a cold shoulder :-) True, it'll be sad to see the tall deck leave the bay, but onward and upward! Be sure to dyno it before pulling

[my2000apb]

put a 3794 on it before you sell it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I KNEW it

[Hank]

The Tall deck may just end up in the Lago CQ car that has more room up front for stuff.

[chaloux]

What is tuning like for the new stuff? Easier without going standalone?

[Hank]

If you swap in a full harness from a jetta, but you have a lot of crap you don't need n the stock harness, plus it is drive by wire.

I am probably going to get this on the dyno with a 3586r, test it with a 30r and 3071r billets, and then start building manifolds for the 07k.

and then start building manifolds for the 07k.

Can it come with the car ???

[Hank]

Everything is always for sale

[my2000apb]

I like where this is going, Hank. Quite impressed with everything you have done/come up with so far. Looking forward to whats next!

Don't tear it apart until after I come out to Vegas in mid-February, please!
