[Pat]

Had a text off andy this morning as he wants to road test it but some idiot (i.e me) hasnt dropped off the bumpers..

So ill be off there tomoz morning with camera in hand and bumpers in other.. Really hoping for a lil drive as its been 6 months..

 

[finesse]

8k ????? How is that, out of curiosity can we get a breakdown on that?

 

[Pat]

To give you a very rough idea from memory

Turbo £1300
Stroker Kit £1500
Ferrera Valves springs retainers etc £800.00
Clutch £600.00
Mounts £200.00
Big Port Head £200.00
Porting by Ian H @ Area six £350.00
Manifold £300 ish
Injectors £300 ish
Intercooler AH Fab £350ish
Pipework £100.00
Silicon hoses coolant, vac, boost 300.00ish

These are what i can remember so far it was all the little things like cambelts, waterpump, tensioner, all new bearings etc etc

Then i have andys labour, still aint put in things like downpipe fabrication, intake fab

It all adds up.. Maybe not quite 8k but not far off

 

[<tuffty/>]

Scary when you add it all up which is why I haven't.... LOL!!

Of course that doesn't take into account suspension, brakes and other such stuff that we all add to the mix...

<tuffty/>

 

[finesse]

Go on tuffty

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

I think mine was about that but i ported my own head and did the build

 

[<tuffty/>]

Go on tuffty

Its not realistic for me to do a break down and mine wouldn't include labour as I have done it all myself (with help from Bill of course) but I suspect I have spent as much if not more (from getting it from the car I bought to what it is now) than I paid for the car originally 2 years ago...

<tuffty/>

 

[MUSH]

The budget (does it ever really exist? Should i say the figure in my head instead? lol) that ive got for my build doesnt even come to that. But fair one as you have to pay labour too.

 

[Pat]

Its VERY scary when you add it all up..

As tufty says i aint added my bilsteins, arbs, rear arms, brakes, exhaust etc etc.. All that i have fitted myself but when it comes to internals i aint got the confidence to do it myself..

If Im honest its cost alot more than i orginally planned BUT hopefully it will be worth it.. I already have another shopping list ready to order once i got some funds back...

As i said earlier im down there in morning so i will try get as many pics as possible..

 

[finesse]

Oh it is in deed. Hats off to you chaps. Get an S3 as fast as an RS Audi is an achievement

Now delete this before the wives see this

 

[Pat]

[Pat]

 

[Pat]

Still got plenty to do..

Cams and inlet are def next

I have only done about 350 miles so far but withno issues

 

[Dani_B19]

Looking nice pat.

How does it drive? What you planning on doing with the cams and inlet?

 

[day]

Nice build thread and a nice looking car congrats man

 

[s3dave]

Looking good any logs?

 

[superkarl]

I think you should lose the black drilled crash bar, so its pure intercooler, mean!

 

[Pat]

Not done any logs at min...

Just get some miles on her.. Drives really nice and very responsive

 

[Pat]

Well lil update...

Done pretty much 1000 miles of running the new lump in.. Was going through mc ds late of night and as i went to pull off i heard a funny noise which i wasnt happy with.. next morning straight to Lincoln VW spec to andy and turns out my old chain tensioner was playing up.. so left the car there to get it sorted..

New one on and 500 quid later shes fine..

We are running the car on revos stage 3 software, so andy was been out this week playing with some settings.. Unfortunately the air flow meter let go, so andy went straight to TPS at newark and picked up a new one and fitted it there and then..

He has set the car to 1.4 bar for now.. Its capable of more but have a few issues to sort... Main one been fueling i need a bigger pump.. the uprated internal one just isnt upto it..

The other issue is the under bonnet temps are quite high.. Andy is moving the battery into boot to allow more air flow and also i need to sort the air filter out..

All in all the car pulls very strong soo far.. but for now im just gunna run it as it is.. as i have spent pretty much all i have at mo.. lol

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Ge the fuel pump sorted and if you still need more fuel then i have a 4 bar FPR in the workshop i that i don't need so thats should up the CC of your injectors to over 600cc

 

[Pat]

What pump you and tufty running???

 

[Dani_B19]

Does our s3's run a 3 or 4 bar pump as standard?

 

[s3dave]

3 bar...

[Dani_B19]

Thanks tufty.

Can you buy 4 bar intank pumps?

 

[<tuffty/>]

Thanks tufty.

Can you buy 4 bar intank pumps?

Ermmm... not about the pressure dude, its all about flow... inline pumps flow more fuel and can maintain higher pressures... with the right injectors etc there is no need for a 4bar FPR

No need to change the pump or add an inline for a K04 not even a hybrid... std intank (providing its in good nick) is man enough... S3 pumps are as good as it gets anyway... for BT stuff then its really best to fit an inline... the intank is used as a lift pump to supply the inline... ideally you would use a swirl pot or a surge tank as well but there isn't the room underneath an S3 sadly..
