My first Audi - 2001.5 S4 with Custom Single Turbo setup...

Man you dont wasn't much time, excellent work.

[britishturbo]

Was my first thought - Verdi rods. :) Remember picking mine up from Mr Verdi him self back when I was collecting parts for my engine. Funny how a little country in the middle of nowhere has a guy running around in wellingtons in the middle of winter, driving a beat-up old Volvo 740, while at the same time making some of the best rods around. :)

Btw, I really enjoy reading your threads! Love the fact that you are able to get all your ideas from concept to prototype so quick! Hope some of this stuff makes to market in one way or another - perhaps buy extra billet?! :)

On the topic of re-grinding the 2.8 cams...I guess this to take care of the issue with too much overlap?

Forgot to reply to this sorry!

Regrinding RS4 cams... for more lift :-)

Haha thanks. no time to waste!

Will valve/piston contact be a concern with the new cams?

Not once I modify the pistons to make it a non problem lol

Why not the other way around and start with 2.8 and re-profile for less overlap?

How much lift are you planning on running btw?

[britishturbo]

Well you have to realize that the RS4 and 2.8 cams are near identical if not the same. So it's no different.
And getting less overlap is easy. Not that there really is much overlap difference.

And I can't tell you how much lift because I haven't decided yet haha ;-)

[Creed]

I got some parts today for something that I can't tell you about yet... when you see the 2.8 you'll love it :-)

[britishturbo]

You'll have to wait and see

I've seen the cam data, and they are not the same - similar in some respects, but not the same! :) Ok, .010 more lift isn't that much, so I guess you are going for substantially higher lift than that! :)

[britishturbo]

Got my new injectors in today...

[rtl5009]

You got enough head room for e100

[britishturbo]

Engine is in. Will finish it up and fire it up tomorrow night :-)

[britishturbo]

I also gave in to temptation and purchases this today lol

[britishturbo]

Should be getting these wheels soon:

[rtl5009]

But some fucking brakes!

[britishturbo]

But some fucking brakes!

ha I'm working on that too ;-)

[AudiNFS]

But some fucking brakes!

but fucking is the first thing I read out of that.

Wheels will look excellent! You're still running stock suspension correct? Also, what wheel is that? Love the flat bottoms... Can't wait to see what it can do

[britishturbo]

I'm running stock suspension now but should have Coilovers coming this week... only STs though for now, can't afford a high dollar setup yet lol.
And the wheel is a 2012 TT wheel. Should look awesome!

[britishturbo]

but fucking is the first thing I read out of that.

That's because that's what Rob likes to do lol

[S4 00 2.7]

I also gave in to temptation and purchases this today lol

Nice. Hope you get around to installing it soon.

[britishturbo]

Nice. Hope you get around to installing it soon.

Yeah I need to get an airbag for it... which is looking expensive lol

[britishturbo]

So since I change my mind so much I'm now back to the idea of building the 3.0 for the next engine lol

[infinkc]

I also gave in to temptation and purchases this today lol

Nice, was so tempeted to pick it up from FB. If you dont land up using it let me know.

I'll probably keep it and just take my time finding a cheap airbag lol

This makes me queezy....I'm not looking forward to the process of getting my motor back in

[DxC]

No efk? And I lol everytime I see all this nice crazy stuff going into your s4 then looking back to the junkyard pic when u first got it.

Nice! Couldn't quite read the badge on the bottom. ST coils are a great ride for what you pay. That's what I've been running since February and I'm loving them.

Thats what mine are. Mine is pretty low though (24 gtf), riding higher makes them a bit more comfy. I suggest 25.5 for a good compromise of looks and still very great ride comfort.

hmmm was there a shipment of these things that I missed out on...

I find it amusing that with all this stuff you've done to the motor and the stock fan is still in place. Get an EFK allready! Lol

[Avantugofast]

Should be getting these wheels soon:

One on the right looks bent. Getting it fixed?

[britishturbo]

Its alive!

[spd579]

Awesome!!! Be careful though I saw it say's you need to service your car.....maybe ask Audi what that's about? Also see you need coolant and wiper fluid. haha

[britishturbo]

lol haven't had time to go electric yet.
I will on the 3.0 for sure...

[britishturbo]

So another difference with the RS4 block is the oil distribution block is different.
The RS4 has an actual cast in and machined oil passage so the block is different.
So I modified it since I didn't have the right lines anyway for the turbo and fitted fittings for the oil pressure gauge and the turbo

[britishturbo]

I see that... I don't have them in my hands yet but will get them fixed if they need it.

[britishturbo]

I fired it up with the front off to make sure the timing was correct... made me very happy when it was 0 for bank 1 and 0 for bank 2 lol.

Does the belt stretch slightly over time and change these values slightly you think?
