my s3 project build

I hope that's right that its from another car and just happen to be left in mine.
Ill call with him Monday and see what he has to say about it.
As i said no warning lights,horn works everything seems fine when driving aswell.
 
No mate i only left the car with the garage so they could put it up on a ramp when free to measure for a middle box on the exhaust.
They had no reason to do anything else but drive it on and of a ramp. Its strange that it was lying on the floor but yet everything works.
 
I’m sure it won’t be off your car as if it was your horn wouldn’t be working and the airbag light would be on
 
Was looking on badger 5's website looking at some parts and i saw a. Gen2 k04 manifold. If says that he also will port polish the hotside of either a standard turbo or hybrid for a £85 fee and return delivery.
If i was to get one of these manifolds does anyone know if Badger 5 sells the k04-308 hybrid separately from those packages?
I have sent Badger a email but i thought id put it up here just incase anyone knew.
 
Have a look in the thread about the lips he tested it on I’m sure when he mentioned price there was the option of turbo only

hi, im trying to post a new thread how do i do this can someone help?? need some help on my audi s3 8L:/
 
Thanks TJ0785 for finding that for me. Audi_a3 there is a link at the top of the home page that will say post nrw thread. You just click on that and that is how you start ur own thread.
 
The strips that run down both side's of the roof does anyone know what the proper name for them is or a link to where to get them.
I have had a look by typing in audi s3 roof strips and a couple other ways but still nothing. My passengers side one is lifting up and need to get it replaced it looks bad. It wont bend back down i have tryed bending it back in and putting tape onto try holding it down and didnt work so just going to buy new ones if i can find them.
 
Im going to change my oil and filter as the service light has came saying its due in 200 miles.
I have the oil and filter and a new resuseable sump plug.
What spark plugs do people recommend?
Bosch or ngk?
 
Ngk iridium or platinum for your level of tune they run a tad cooler I belive but whatever you do-do not get bosch supers.
 
So I did my service this afternoon but as I was taking the plugs out I found that 1 2 and 3 where wet with oil. Number 1 being the worst. Number 4 was fine.

I have looked online and what I can find is that it could be the gasket round the plugs , worn rings or valve guides.
So I'm going to get a new rocker gasket and hopefully that will solve the problem. Has anyone experienced this before that could give a idea of what it most likely Is?
There has been no lose in performance or misfire which you would think I should have had some sort of symptoms with it.
 
Thanks superkarl. I will order a new gasket and make sure the central rocker cover bolts are tightened up properly.
I did the n249 delete today which after seeing how much tidyer it makes the engine bay look i wish I had of did it sooner.
I have kept the engine cover of and was wanting to take of the black extension the oil filler cap sits on but I can't seem to budge it. Does it come of as I'm afraid of putting to much force on it and some braking and fall into the engine.
Which wouldn't be ideal.
Also is there any benefit of running the red coil packs and if so what are the best ones to get.

Yeah that extension collar twists off with a quarter turn I think

Went for a dyno run this morn. Only made 250bhp on the final run. There wasn't enough room on the top of the print out to put the figures on for run 3 but it's on the graph. The date and time are wrong aswell for some reason.
At the 1st run he said it was running very rich it was up to 0.9 at one point so he changed a few things and got it down to 0.74 which he said was spot on.
I was a bit disappointed when it only made 250 but I suppose it made what it did and nothing I can do about that.
He said that looking at the laptop everyhing was running fine and everything that was being asked for was getting delivered.
 
280 lb/ft torque is all good though :D

what does the map look like?

is that 250BHP / 280 lb-ft with your forged internals and oversized TIP, FMIC and 3 Inch DP + decat?

something seems a little fishy with that? it started at 244 stage 1 the first update took it to 230 and it ended up at 250?

what MAF reading are you getting with Android Torque?

Also I dont understand this statement

"it is running rich at 0.9 and he got it to 0.74 which is spot on" <-- or similar
I thought 1 lambda was 14.7:1 you need to get it down to about 0.84 which is about 12.5:1 the lower the number the richer the mixture (less air per fuel) 0.75 is 11:1 (isn't that too much fuel?) or maybe I dont understand!

No haven't got the internal's done yet or the oversized tip or cone but it is with the fmic,3"downpipe and sports cat and 3" system all threw. Other things happened so haven't had the funds to do the engine yet. Thats why i went and go it dynoed to see what it was at with the things i got done for the mean time.
It was
230 1st run
244 2nd run
250 3rd run
That android torque I don't think is very reliable I have had a few different readings of it but none that I would look at and think that looks good.
I'm not sure exactly what he was on about with the fueling he was rambling on with all the tech talk and I sort of switched of but what caught my attention again was when he said it was 0.9 and at 1 the engine can go bang and that he had got it down to 0.74 which is where he said it was now.

well 250 on a standard air intake is fine isn't it?

but your tuner has some crazy a-r-s-e file naming conventions.

file 1 (230) = audi/hll_bll_r02 <-- looks like run 02 - dated 2004
file 2 (244) = audi/hll_bll_r01 <-- looks like run 01 - dated 2003
file 3 (250) = ford/rnz_5330_r02 <-- looks like a different car's run 02 - dated 2003

the date just confuses everything doesn't it?

can a 1.6 TDCI be mapped to 250? it's not even as if the map has been confused #rollingcoal ?

Yeah not having the right date and time on it dose make it a bit confusing so i just look at the graph instead. Thanks for the link Stuart B I'll have a read of that.

I'm looking some advice on what coolant is best to get and also what brake fluid also is the best to get.
Click to expand...

Standard coolant from Audi / TPS is fine (G13 its called)
Brake fluid, depends on how you use the car. Dot 4 is fine if the brakes aren't being pushed, if its being pushed (track car etc) then look into the high end stuff like Motul etc
 
Haven't had anything to post lately but today my car finally went into the garage to get its internals all sorted so hopefully a couple weeks it will be at the running in stage.
While I was dropping the car of one of the mechanics asked what my plans at the end where and I said putting on a better turbo hybrid probably. He said i should try GP Turbos as they might help.
So on way home I called in and spoke to him and he asked why my car was getting the rebuild. So I told him bout the rods being crap over 300 torque and the valves heads droppng of and exhaust guides.
He said that that was all crap and he could get me a hybrid turbo that would be a direct replacement and do 420bhp on standard internals and all I would need would be better injectors and a fmic. He said the hybrid would be £600 all in. Obviously I said I'd be in touch but no chance I will.
Now I'm just wondering is there even a hybrid on the market that can do them kind of numbers?
I know the aet turbo that badger 5 sells is marketed at 340-3800hp but how many would have got the top figure of 380hp? I have saw two on face book one got 326hp the other got 345hp.
Now I'm not on here saying anything bad about anyone's hardware just asking a question on hybrids in general.
 
Hey hydro, nice thread. Been reading through. Car looks good. I’m in the process of getting everything together ready for a hybrid build. I’ve done hours and hours of research and by all accounts.... you won’t find any hybrid set up better than Bills “badger5” at the moment. It’s tried and tested, all depends on the health of the engine and supporting mods. Water meth injection will help.

I think he’s talking out his ****.
Bills hybrid has done 402bhp in his lupo, goes to show it’s not all about the turbo it’s the supporting mods that help aswell but if he sold it as a 400bhp hybrid people wouldn’t be happy if they only made 370 because there engines worn or has a restrictive exhaust or tired fuel pump etc

Well that guy’s clearly talking crap, don’t get some people I’m sure they think we’re all stupid, lol

As TJ said don’t forget the best flowing hybrid turbo is only as good as the engine and supporting hardware it’s bolted to, just because a turbo is capable of 380bhp doesn’t mean the rest of the hardware is, hence such varied results

Interested in this Hydro as I've also been looking at hybrids & only seems like there's two options really worth going for, either beachbuggy turbos k418 or the aet.......

Asked on one of the fb forums if anyone was running the aet as it seems the best hybrid & interested to know what kinda resulst people were getting, the only person that was running it hadn't had his car dynod yet, everyone else said don't bother just go bt to save disappointment basically........didn't really help answer my question but if your engine is healthy & everything else is in place then i can't see why it wouldn't make mid 300+. Bill's Lupo has the dyno proof there of what the aet is capable of but I don't think any hybrid is capable of the 420 you was quoted

I was watching this build the other night. Does go to show that with the right set up the AET hybrid can perform well.
