Sherif 3.0l build

[Sherif]

I'm gathering parts since a while for this build and my appointment at Rombotis tuning is in less than 10 days so I'll start the thread

History and spec of the actual car.

I bought it in 2005 as a 2001.5 S4 with 36 000km 6 speeds, sport package and xenon, but it was a 2000 A4 swaped :S the car only had a chip and Koni coil over back then.

Parts bought after the beginning of the build:
034 fuel rails, 034 fuel lines, bosh 044 in tank pump, walbro in line pump, aeromotive FPR, 034 fuel pressure gauge, poished HRE 540R in 19", raceware man stud, 034 non stretch head bolts





So I think that's it for now
Mike will also change the fuel lines and do the tune and I'm waiting for 034 fuel rail from Issam but that's it for now. Once it's done I'm going to get the car painted audi "brown teak metal" and I'll put the car on nice wheels (just had a deal from a guy here with mint 19" HRE 540R )

big thanks in advance to GURUMAN for being such a nice guy always glad to share infos with us, who did me a great price for his turbo kit and who did bring the B5 platform one step further(IMHO). And thanks to Mike Rombotis who'll surely do a great job on my car, I think he's one of the main reason for the succes of Guru's builds, I wouldn't want anyone else to take care of my car

more info to come as the build start, sorry for the weak english, I'm not 12 years old I'm just french ;)

[Spooled1.8]

Awesome build man! If it's anything like GURUS car was. I'm sure it will become epic. Your English is perfect, don't sweat it

[veggiemonster]

damn. your car looks exactly like where i was gonna go with mine....


plus gt's lol

[a4_matt]

sorry for the weak english, I'm not 12 years old I'm just french

I lol'd at this!

Sounds like it's going to be epic... can't wait for the finished product!

[veggiemonster]

sherif, what will you be doing with the 2554 kit?????

[Sherif]

I'll verify they have no shaft play (24 000km on them) and if they are still good I'll sell them.

Asking price will be 2500$ for the turbos and inlet, but already 3 persons interested here... if none of the 3 take them they'll end up in the classified

That's a pretty pile of parts you've got there. Should be insane once it is all put together.

[GypsySmash]

[TweetsS4Estate]

[Reich]

Hey sherif. You all ready have all your parts you luck guy. Way to go man. I'll folow your thread for sure.

[Sherif]

Yeah I know going 3.0l would cost me a arm and a leg... so I'm gathering parts since I had a deal for a 3.0l crank for 200$ (CDN$ ;) )

here you go for the Y pipe, it was done by Tapp in Ottawa and cost me arround 100$ back in 2006

ohhh, please don't pay attention to my hood prop lol

[wdbdy2000s4]

[Ringlord]

One more week, Seb, and the work will begin! It'll be fun to see how your setup will compare to Guru's, regarding the Motronic vs 034 IIc.
See you next Sunday!

[Sherif]

Car is now in good hands, Mike should start to work on it today. I'll keep you updated with pics and more details as sonn as I get somes

[Sherif]

Things are mooving way faster that I expected. Engine were removed monday, yesterday short block was disassembled and sent to machine work... who's supposed to get it done for friday! tuesday in the worst case.... so we will be waiting for the heads for sure.

should have some pics for you tonight ;)

[antoanS4]

Nice built

[GURUMAN]

Man I saw your car this morning, no engine, Mike Rock's

Thx for money Seb...

[Sherif]

No problem Dom, I told you you would be paid before I take possession of the turbos... all I'm missing is my case of Guru ;)

send me a pm if you have anything else for sale bro

[JaredVL]

good work sebastian, this is going to be sick!

[GURUMAN]

good work sebastian, this is going to be sick!

and to make a slight change in the shitty GT attitude world, I'll help Seb as much as posible to reach his Goal, and if I think his goal is to weak, I'll kick his but and raise it.

I wish he pops my 10.51 !

Awesome build man!

You've already done a lot Dom, more than I could've asked.... but I'll take any additionnal help :)

For your record, to be honest if I can do some 10 sec with my South Bend clutch it woud be nice... but I don't want to destroy anything(not enought budget if things start to fall apart) and the SB clutch have to hold for at least one full year, living at 500km from Mike is nothing to help me also... but no worries I'll track the car

if you have another car just stomp on it.. hahah dont hold back, i want to see that 10.50 i just always had a hard time beleiving a single plate will handle that much power.

you guys have a minor advantage being only a couple hundred feet above sea level.

when do you plan on having this done sherif?

[Sherif]

I don't know and I don't care for the time it get to be done... I prefer Mike to take his time and do everything right while the car's there as I'm not able to go back in Montreal as often as I'd like.... oh and I will have my driver license back only on june 10 anyway

but seriously thing seem to meve very fast, I let thecar there sunday afternoon, monday the mecanic was out, tuesday the block was at the machine shop... and machine shop won't take one full week to get the job done. We will have to wait for the heads... I sent them to a old machine shop owner who may not work very very fast, and who may just send me to hell if I try to push him... but I want him to do the job as he did great head job and he charge me a very good price

any time frame question should be directed to Mike as everything is in his hands and there's no rush for this to get done in a rush on my side... other than machine work, we will probably also have some delays when ordering some parts, I still haven't received fuel rail from Issam and the walbro fuel pump should not be enought

[JaredVL]

Seb, just keep your tire pressure way up until you get your launches and your engagement dialed. then slowly lower them. you will spin alot. then you will spin less, then you will hook. you need to just find the fine line where YOU are comfortable and feel its the best launch you can get and be consistent for you.

you wont break or kill clutches until you get nervous and dump too fast or slip too much. remember you first few runs, maybe your first 10 need to be shake down runs, not just for the car but for you too. you are about to have some serious power and there is nothing wrong with granny launches and lifting at the 1/8th a few times before you go balls out.

[Sherif]

thanks Jared, these are valuable recommendation I won't forget

[diabolical1]

you have a very impressive list of parts going into your build. i'm just curious ... why didn't you employ a crank girdle as well? these builds always excite me, so i'll be keeping tabs on this one.

[Sherif]

too lazy for doing the girdle... I prefered to save some $$$ and save some real PITA for Mike. Dom also told me the girdle was the thing he regreted the most on his build, I guess he still had a leaking upper oil pan at the end... so I just decided to trust those who already did it and just don't go in the hazzle of the crank girdle

[Sherif]

juste received some pics of the car that were taken last monday







turbos that went out





not that bad I guess... here they are when I received them from Tial


thanks to Ben and Mike for the pics

[Ringlord]

Hey Seb, here are a couple of pics of the painted engine bay... the color choice is AWESOME!

[diabolical1]

... the color choice is AWESOME!

agreed.

[Reich]

Hey Seb. Is that my engine AKA guruman's old, that i've seen on the table in the first pics?

Thank's for keeping us updated. Nice pics and serious parts you're putting in. Way to go Sherif and Rombotis guys.

You know what? I think it would be nice to have a race for fun. Me against you, against GURU LSblock. That would be funny as hell. We could do that at ''pont rouge'' track in my area, Quebec city, which is between you and GURUMAN. and go out after.

I don't know when mine is going to be finished tho. I'm still in the process of gathering parts.

[pipe7284]

beautiful!!!!!1 love the color too.
