Hi folk, just fitting Wiseco forged Pistons into my AMK block. I just wondered do they fit a certain way? I heard something may have to face the front of the engine? & Also, do the Piston rings fit a certain way aswell? Sorry if this seems a daft question Thanks. Josh.

Hey folks, just in the middle of a hybrid build. Currently building up my bottom end and with all shiny new bits being bolted in I thought about replacing the sump with the baffled Forge one. But I just thought before I buy it if anybody had any other recommendations instead? Cheers.

Hi, currently in the middle of a rebuild on my engine, next on the list is cylinder head work. Was thinking of going Supertech with my valves. I've heard some people have just changed the Exhaust valves & so on. Obviously budget does come into it as I've seen a whole kit including springs and...

Hi, got some nice shiny rods from AKS tuning, a friend of mine who's sorting my engine block advised me to go 0.5mm over bore, as the bores were slightly worn. Which then requires new Pistons. Can anyone point me in the right direction of some that meet my requirements & fit the rods?! Thankyou!

Hi folks! Currently rebuilding my AMK engine, gonna be throwing in some bigger and better rods along with the standard crank. The question is, what kind of shells am I putting in? For the new rods? Seen as the crank is staying the same do I just need new standard main shells? Or is there better...

Apologies if this has been covered. I can't seem to find anything? It's one of the only things I can't seem to nail down. Just wondering what's the best option aiming for around 350bhp, 034 Motorsport don't do one with the throttle body on the right side. Integrated Engineering was the next...

Hi all, I'm in the middle of ripping my engine out for an overhaul, and I found a few broken pipes on my PCV system. So, I've heard there are ways to simplify it via installing a catch can. I've managed to find guides on other engine codes but nothing for my AMK coded S3? Anyone know a guide or...

I know this has been covered before. Apologies. But, is it worth it if aiming for around the 350 bhp Mark? I've heard it adjusts your low end torque but can help at high speeds? I've got one. I'd just like to know if it's really necessary. Cheers.

Hi all, thanks for reading. As the title suggests, I've just plumbed in a boost gauge on my S3. It's pretty standard, front mount intercooler is all that's worth shouting about at the minute. The gauge is reading -20PSI. I just wanted to know if this sounds correct? Cheers Josh.

Hi, I've put up a couple of posts now about bigger power from my S3. Was going to go down the KO4-064 route. But, I've had my eye on Beach Buggy Turbos K418T hybrid. I just wondered if any folk had any dealings with it? Is it any good? Cheers!

In my search for big power out of my S3, I aimed straight for a number which I thought would be squeezing the little 1.8 dry, 400bhp. After posting on here and having a good chat with a few lads including Tufty, I still thought it was the way to go. So, I started saving. In that time I have...

I know this has been covered a few times before, but I think I've found the problem. Basically, after driving for a bit I get a fuel smell through my vents into the cabin. Did a bit of research and heard the S3's have issues with the carbon cannister. Popped the bonnet had a good sniff around...

Just finished my RNS-D install into my S3 8L! Looks mint! Can now pour money into the engine I'm building for it!

Right, I have an S3 8L. I've just got in the car to come home as I closed the door I noticed my interior lights were pulsating, on and off. About 2 second intervals. So I tried locking/unlocking the car again & it kept doing it. Also, I noticed there was a constant light illuminated under the...

Just trying to install an RNS-D unit into my S3. I'm converting from a Symphony 2 I believe, Bose system. 6 disc changer in the Headunit. Anyway, first question, I can't seem to get any radio reception yet on my Symphony it's perfect. Second question, I have to turn it off and on manually...

Put a post up recently about my S3 400 BHP build. Just wanted to ask another question. I sourced a large large port head (AGU) as I heard this was helpful when gaining big HP. Now the plan was to put this onto my AMK coded S3 block. Buuuuut the chance to snap up an AGU block cheap came my way...

Hi all, I've just recently started to get the smell of petrol through my air vents after about a 15 minute drive. No drips on the floor or anything that I can see. Just wondered if anyone had come across this before? Cheers

If you were hoping for pictures of a beast, sorry to disappoint. Its not yet built, but I shall be building it soon. Just looking for general advice really from big power S3 owners. 400bhp is the ideal figure, I know this is gonna take a lot of money, but I really want to do it. I've trawled...

Hi all, I know this topic has been covered a thousand times already but I never seem to get the right answers to my questions. My dual mass is on it's way out ( it's an S3 8L AMK) and I'm planning on the engine seeing inbetween 300 & 350bhp one day to keep the Focus RS owners at bay. I know...

Hi, sorry if there's a thread for this. I'm thinking about putting 8p front brakes onto my 8L. Just wondered if anyone has done this before & if so how hard is it & what will I need. All info is much appreciated! Cheers!
