"Tricolor" My Audi 100 20vt quattro from Norway

[xileh]

Hello.
I have already a post about my A4B8 on this forum. But thought I could post some info about my other project. This is going to be a bit more expensive i think. Because I unfortunatly crashed my 200 last winter, and is going to have a rebuild now, with other chassi and some upgrades both on engine and the rest of the car.

I don't have so much pictures from the car before the crash, because I bought it tuned and upgraded. But I didn't take so much pictures. I'm very sad about that now :( But here are some of the pics I have from the original car:





Brakes. 323x30mm with Wilwood superlite with 4 pistons.


Interiour:





Engine:

And then, I unfortunatly lost controll on wet snow/rain and hit a "lightpole"

This ended up with a car that hadd to be condemned. But I took out all the good parts, such as engine,interior and everything under the car ;)






Se on this picture, the roof is not right :(

[xileh]

Taking the car apart. Very sad job to do :(

[xileh]

Done taking apart:





Some of the parts i wanted to keep

[xileh]

Bought a new car to build on:




Starting to take that apart:









Also took the top of the engine. Delivered this to a firm that is going to put on some bigger valves, and make bigger seats for the valves. Also going to change the springs and retainers :)

I ordered a rollcage for tha car, that is done. just need to pick it up.

Then I have to buy a new fuelline. such as fuelcell, pump, filters and hoses. Going to run the car only on E85 next summer.

What do you people think of this project? Long way to go now, but hoping to have it ready around mai/june :)

[urS6Plus]

beautiful car. good luck!! and keep us posted!!!

[Marios C4]

its a bad ass car man. what did it make before #????
and what turbo size is that???????????/

[xileh]

Koselowiec: Thank you :) Hope the new car will look almost like the old one. But with some improvments. ;)

Marios C4: The turbo is an KKK KX600 that gives the car max 600hp on ordinary fuel. Will use the same turbo this summer, but hope to get a little more with e85 (But not suri if I make that)
Next winter I will upgrade to 2,5 or 2,6 and a bigger turbo :) Will also try to make the car as light as possible, with two bucket seats and not much interior.

[YODASFRO]

I like your intake manifold, wanna make me one? What software/standalone are you using with that big turbo?

Thank you. It is the original that is rebuild. Not så fine finish on it, but think I will put some paint on it, will make it look better. Many welders can do this for you if they weld aluminum :)

[xileh]

Got the parts for my rollcage. Hadd to try it in the car, because in Norway it is not possible to buy prebuild rollcages, so I hadd to measure the car and order loose parts. Don't look to bad. Not much work has to be done to get this cage to fit :)

Just need to clean up in the car now, and start welding. Very cold in norway at the time, and my garage isn't very warm. But hope to do some things during the holidays now.

Here are some pictures of the parts for the cage :) as you can see, I have to remove the sunroof. Will do that during this week, when I get home to the car.

[Maki]

Looking good :)

[xileh]

Looking good :)

Thank you. Will try to get the car from the ground this week, and remove the fueltank and everything under the car.

Also have to start sandblast the parts under the car and get some paint on them :)

[xileh]

Talked with the person who is going to MAP my car. He recommended me to buy new coils fram A4 1,8T and use them.
Also have ordered bushings for the front in Aluminium, triggerwheel and sensor that fit my engine. And when xmas holliday is over, I will order engine and transmission mounts in alu/polyurethane.

[Silvant]

Europa Blue is faster, anyways...
good luck!

Europa blue?

badass

[xileh]

Bad news about this car. Will take longer time to build than I thought. Bacause it cost very much. And the USD is high now, and that meens everything is even more expensive.

But the car will be ready. Even if it takes more time :)

Will try to gather the parts I need. Coilovers, fuelcell, pumps and stuff like that.

[Jim@STaSIS]

Now THAT'S determination.

[PRY4SNO]

Determination is right! Keep it up, and keep us posted!

How do you like the Wilwood brakes?

[xileh]

Ehh. What is Determination? (Sorry bad English)


I like the Wilwoods very good. Haven't tested them on a track yet.
But there is one problem with them. They are not streetlegal. Because they don't have "dustcovers/gasket" on the pistons. Not recommended for winter-use.

[xileh]

This project is a bit on hold right now. But it will start during the spring.
Been searching a bit for parts and stuff I need. :)
Also planing to put the cooling in the trunk. With a alu radiator and fan.

[Jim@STaSIS]

Ehh. What is Determination? (Sorry bad English)

ah sorry! determination = willingness to get the job done!

[PRY4SNO]

Have you thought of mounting the radiator horizontally in the engine bay? It opens up a lot of free space underneath to play with, and increases airflow into the radiator itself.

[xileh]

Jim@STaSIS: Okay
Yes, I have that. But it goes slowly. But I rather use 6months extra time and get a car that works, than build it in to short time and don't be satisfied :)

Tactic12: I have thought of this. But many I have talked with say that putting the cooling in the trunk is waste of money and time. So I'm unsure of what to do. I had trouble getting enough cooling in the radiator before. Because I have to put the oilcoolers in front of it.

Will a radiator in alu that is twice as thick as the original cool better, or is cooling in the trunk the best?

Hold on there cowboy, that's not what I said/meant.

I'll try again, and do my best to remember English is not your native language.

When I say mount the radiator horizontally (<--------> not, vertically or up and down) I mean inside the engine bay. On the driver's side, so it's just below the hood. Would need to relocate the radiator plumbing and fabricate new mounts and maybe even the whole radiator too.

A mechanic of mine suggested it and made some good points toward doing so. If you put some vents in the hood it'll also increase the cooling and airflow to the radiator, as well as open up all the space below the radiator for whatever you want (A/C, etc).

Just a thought.

That is maybe a good thought. Have to think a bit about it and try to find out about space and things

Thanks for the tip

[PRY4SNO]

You're welcome.



Post pics as you go.

[xileh]

Not much progress here But I have moved to another town, and looking for a place to put my car so that I can work on it (garage)

Hope to find one now, so that I can continue on the car

[maxh2o]

Thats an amazing beast of a car! I'd like to see you paint it black and keep it a "sleeper" and sneak up on anything on the road and blow right past it. Nothing like seeing far away headlights come up fast behind you and blow right past to put the fear of God into anyone. And with the older sedan body of your 100, it makes it that much more amazing! + = +

[Doctor]

Wow.....excellent project once again from Norway...Keep us updated.
Love it man.

[xileh]

maxh2o: Thanks. Guess I have to dissaboint you on the color of this one. Since it is a rebuild of the old one, I will paint it like the original one. This car will be mostly used on tracks. Because it is very difficult(impossible) to get license plates on a car with rollcage and stuff like that in Norway :(

Doctor: Thank you.

Have done some small work on the car now. Waiting for my engine top to return from a workshop. been adjusting my valves (rebuild to mechanical) and polished the tops inside.
Also placed a order on a accusump.
Will try to assemble the engine soon, and then I can start on the bodywork.

[xileh]

Haven't done anything here for a while. The project stopped, due to that I found a huge amount of rust on my car, and then I need a new car to build on again. Found a couple of poor Audi V8's that I'm considering. This car got a stronger chassis, and will work better on a track. Guess I will try to find some pictures of the V8 DTM car and use that as inspiration :)

Hoping to get a V8 in my garage next week or something. Then the fun can begin again :)

[xileh]

Picked up my top today.
Have done some work on it. New valves, more flow. I also got some cat cams on it, and mechanical "valve lifters"
It also have gotten a "service" :)

[loxxrider]

Nice!

Its good to see other people with t44's making big power. I have mine on VEMS engine management and am just beginning to put all of my parts on the car.

I have some questions for you...

Where are you getting the aluminum bushings for the front end?

What are the specs for the camshafts?

Here's my turbo along with another one I might use later on :)

The bushings for the frontend I'm going to make myself. (Or a friend is going to make them for me)

Don't remember the specs on the camshafts now. But there are on this side:
http://catcams.co.uk/acatalog/Audi_8..._2.2L_20v.html
Can check the numbers when I'm home from work later today :) My camshaft is around the middle. Not the highest lifts, but better then original :) One of them that says Mech first :)

How much power are you planning to get? To you have a thread about your car?

[loxxrider]

Oh OK nice, so you are doing solid lifter head? (Mech) I'm not sure yet whether I want to do hydro and rev to 8500 or solid and rev to 9-10k. Solid lifters are just a little maintenance heavy and require a lot of machining. I enjoy reving to 8k on a stock head for now though :)

I could probably make the bushings myself too, but if you have a CAD file that I can use to make them with or some drawing or anything that would be awesome. I just don't have the time to take my car apart and make them and then put it all back together. Its my daily driver. I may consider delrin too. OR I'd probably be willing to pay for a set if you want to make two sets!

I do indeed have a project thread for my car. Its rather lengthy though. Its 75 pages at the moment. The basics are that I've done Porsche brakes, custom coilover setup that I made, VEMS, and about to put the Holset turbo on the car in the next week or so. I'm shooting for 300awhp on stock motor (maybe 350 if I'm feeling lucky), 500awhp on built engine with the Holset still on, and then finally replace with a 67mm or so turbo and the final goal is 7-800hp. We'll see where it goes. I've got other projects too but this one is first priority.

You should make a post on Motorgeek. I'd say its the most performance-oriented old audi website for America.

If you need any info on what parts to get for the coilovers let me know. I have everything you could need and its pretty cheap.

Yes. The car will mostly be used on track, so that's why I wanted Mech header. Also I will start using my KKK KX600 and that turbo is a bit late compered to newer ones. And then I will need to rev a bit high :)

I haven't made any bushings yet. But I have almost a spare car. So I will use those parts for measuring. I will talk with my friend that got the equipment, if he will make drawings,or how he does it. I guess I will make alu or something for my subframe, and then use delrin for most of the rest in the car. And 034 motorsport track bushings for engine and gearbox.

I like your goels. A bit similar to me. Start with 600hp in the engine now first. But hope for more later. Will run the car on Ethanol and that gives me more possabilites to get more power easier :)
I will look at your thread. I have seen pictures of your car before, and it look very beatiful:)
I will check out motorgeek.

Yes, info about the coilovers would be great. I have seen on 2bennet. Also a company here in my town build custom bilstein coilovers, but they will cost about 4000USD, and that is guite much I think.

[loxxrider]

I can show you what to get for about 1k USD and its a really nice setup with bilsteins. I'll go into more detail after I get home from work.
