    BAM S3 full rebuild for Hybrid or BT

    Cheers. Heat reflective tape does work but only really necessary post fmic pipe work. Turbo's charge pipe was just a bit of tarting up lol

    BAM S3 full rebuild for Hybrid or BT

    But loosing mid range is hardly surprising on a KO4 hybrid lol. The velocity of the air has been slowed by fitting it compared to the high velocity of the stock mani

    BAM S3 full rebuild for Hybrid or BT

    Managed to get the old girl in Audi Tuner mag back in October, certainly looks the part if i do say so myself lol:) Then someone gave me the idea of doing a engine transplant instead of going BT with the 1.8t which i thought would never happen, then about a month ago a Mk3 12v VR6 engine...

    BAM S3 full rebuild for Hybrid or BT

    Andrew's old AEB xcessive oversized inlet manifold popped up for sale so who was i to pass up the sale lol. Did require a different paint job, as not to my liking lol. And relocated the occ to where the batt tray used to be. Although curious to see what top end gains could be achieved...

    BAM S3 full rebuild for Hybrid or BT

    Shortly after that the so called "sports cat" that comes with the Piperwerx 3" DP died which gave me an excuse to fit a BIGGER one, 5" should do it lol. One that would allow me run a "decat map" and not restrict flow, not waning to be caught without a cat particularly when my company is...

    BAM S3 full rebuild for Hybrid or BT

    Now with a dual port set-up she certainly drinks the meth at a rapid rate so decided to get a bigger 2.25gal race baffled tank to improve range an reduce the risk of running out but also moved the batt to the boot to help free up space in the engine bay to allow me to re design the map tube...

    BAM S3 full rebuild for Hybrid or BT

    Another log *** drive back to sunny Gloucestershire from Aberdeen but totally worth it when the car made another 20BHP (cant remember Ib/Ft increase) once Bill did a few runs, now 370BHP 364Ib/Ft making her the UK's most powerful hybrid KO4 8L S3. Once back from B5 i sorted the meth plate to...

    BAM S3 full rebuild for Hybrid or BT

    Initial tests of the dual port set-up, DO3 post fmic and DO1 post throttle body proved very impressive, like frost on the inlet mani which is becoming a pain due to paint cracking lol. My first attempt at making a meth plate for the throttle body was a bit rushed as i was on a deadline to get...

    BAM S3 full rebuild for Hybrid or BT

    Because its been such a while since i last updated my ASN post not all pics are going to be in order lol but here goes... Well since my first trip to Badger5 for its initial map I've fitted dual port wmi and now running 100% meth which should make a lot more power and further reduce ait's and...

    Well good morning Chap's and Chape'ss. Been a while since I updated my build thread, Plus being made redundant from the oil and gas which consequently gave me more time developing my garage business and fettling the car, commonly refereed to as the MKS Machine lol. Will see if I can resurrect my...

    BAM S3 full rebuild for Hybrid or BT

    So the Badger5 trip begins, now most people would drive there car down for mapping but due to fitting the Hybrid KO4 without a map I was running off actuator pressure as I've disconnected the N75 valve as I didn't want to damage the motor but this almost makes the car very difficult to over take...

    BAM S3 full rebuild for Hybrid or BT

    In addition to installing the wmi kit i've installed a pressure gauge post solenoid valve to confirm what pressure the water meth pump is running at for tweaking during mapping as standard setting iirc is 200psi. it can go as low as 150psi or as high as 250psi.

    BAM S3 full rebuild for Hybrid or BT

    Haven't updated my ASN in quite a while so here goes.. Just before the Badger5 trip was thinking it'll be wise to uprate the brakes as the standard ones are ok if your grannies driving but not for what I have in mind lol So that being said a nice set of D3 360mm 6pot set up shall suffice:) #...
