The work that needs to be done now...
Exhaust
Rear Diff needs sorting
Prop mounting
All my r32 bits fitting that I've collected up...
Cheers for looking! Comments appreciated...

What was it, a 4motion?
What's wrong with the s3 btw, i'm guessing there's damage not shown in the pics?
-
Yes it was a 4mo, the S3 has severe drivers impact lol
Dan
-
how come the 4motion was stripped? and any pics of damage to the s3?
-
its not 4wd till you put the diff back on. Test drive tomorrow night methinks :evil:
-
I love how people always ask about the S3.. trust me it's f*cked :laugh:

Awesome work :afro:
-
looks sweet, Good job! :grin:

its not 4wd till you put the diff back on. Test drive tomorrow night methinks :evil:
and its not quattro until you ditch the haldex, mount the motor logitudonally and fit an s4 box and rear diff.
cool project though :cool:

if it were still the golf running gear, your geekery may have been justified.. but as quattro is essentially a brand description rather than the name of the technology... and the drivetrain is completely from the S3 "quattro"... f*ck off! :grin:
-

I bought the 4motion from a breakers as they had bought the car to strip as the engine was knocking (bottom end fubarred).
The car wasnt category damaged or NOTHING they had just been offered it cheap :shocked: And as I know the breakers quite well they sold it me for a relatively good price!
I will take a picture tomorrow of the damage seen as everybody is so interested lol

Car is almost done...waiting for the flippin painter to finish my bumpers and then I can get it down to the MOT station! When I've sorted my washers anyway as I have no screen wash at the minute lol
Dan
-
That would have buffed out man :grin: :grin:
Met you the other week (didn't introduce myself :embarassed:) couple of weeks ago late on a Friday at R-Tech :smiley:
What wheels have come off the S3 as I'm in the market for a spare set of wheels
-
Set of replica Rs4's but i have a lot of wheels and I really need rid of some...
Bens currently lent the RS4's lol
Dan
-
i've seen worse repaired :laugh:
and you lent Ben summat, :shocked:
Lent = permanent Loan to that Short tight Northerner :grin:
-
It drives :grin: but more importantly it now also stops!
I am sooo itching to get behind the wheel of this little beast :laugh:

Sweeeeeeeeeet!!

:cool: you guys been tinkering with it yet or it just in the early stages?
-
Haha I uploaded it too! Well Chris someone will have to make sure its running fine when its all mapped up and stuff! Seens as I have never driven a 1.8t before I wont really have an idea how it should role so you will have to test her ;)
Dan
-
Honestly you have no idea how close i was to jumping in the passenger seat and making you head for the bypass :grin: I had to walk away from the door handle!
Had a thought about exhaust too - how about if they just make it go up to the R32 backbox? Should bring the price down considerably and should take them no time at all then.
-
ha ha ha
"that was all 4 wheels , do it again"
and dutefully he does
gotta love abit of , whats it called , not goading , but your mate seeing you dosomething cool/stupid then asking you to doitagain

Tempted but I think the back box is causing quite alot of back pressure. I think im going to just get them to do a decat and replace the back box with straight pipe but keep the middle silencer...
We'll see! Will try to find the number for them tomorrow and get a price and book it in.
Dan
-
Awesome :afro:
-
Infact I can't do that with the exhaust haha I keep forgetting its Ben's!
-
Should have a video to upload on here in a bit! Managed to run a 13.94 down the pod which I was fairly pleased with given its my first time actually taking part in a drag race and the car took a real few poundings!
Think a big turbo is next on the agenda!

f**k! That looks mad! So quick off the line! :shocked:

LOL well we had some fun...Time to go again:
I quote from another forum (ukmkivs...where unless you pay for something or have scene wheels you dont get replies)...
"Well today didn't go so well... We fitted the top mounts and they work LOVELY...however... We were packing up and just leaving for home when pop turbo shaft snapped. Chris has a picture somewhere of the shaft...
Oil went through everything, hydrolocked the cylinders...so possibly bent valves...also noticed some nice bits of metal in the inlet ports so probably need a rebore...However...when we took the plugs out and turned her over she spat all the oil out and turned over nice and smoothly. So fingers crossed not too much damage...
So from 3 in the afternoon till 9.30 ish we accomplished this...
The oil from the intercooler:
(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll165/IbanezDan/Photo1098.jpg)
Me in a jolly mood thinking wahey big turbo...lol:
(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll165/IbanezDan/Photo1099.jpg)
And how she is sat now...reminds me of a couple of months ago lol:

Dan"
-
i don't know if it was pushing the car up the A5 (it needs MORE weight out of it :grin: ) or ripping the engine out with halfords tools but i'm fooking knackered.
-
Oooo not good mate :sad:
-
D'oh - :shocked:
-
buggery :sad:
-
Well few updates lol
Rebuilt the engine with scat rods, new rings and honed, all new seals etc etc etc etc god the list was long and expensive. The turbo is now a hybrid KO4 with a pipewerx 3 inch downpipe and decat. I need some big injectors before getting it mapped but hopeing to hit the 300+hp mark. Time will tell!
All my seats and stuff are now in...vibratechnics engine mounts...erm fidanza billet flywheel, 5 paddle unsprung clutch, custom 3 inch stainless exhaust, Sparco pro2000 seats, securon 6 point harnesses and loads loads more...
Pictures!

And a video of the sound of the exhaust...ignore my mate laughing and ignore the fact i have a plate light out...all now fixed...including his laugh lol
It was a poor launch in the video because im still running no N75 so limited to accuator boost at 10psi.

Awesome :afro:
-
good to see it rebuilt :afro:
-
Wow :shocked: car looks sweet! love the red centre caps on the RC's
-
wow i love this car :afro:
lots of effort has gone in and you make it sound like childs play :grin:
-
Cheers guys, thanks for the replies. After stripping so many mk4 based cars I guess I kind of feel any job on these kind of cars is easy lol Like a giant mechano set. They fall apart about as much as mechano does too lol
-
Love the rasping on the gear change, any updates? :undecided:
-
I LIKE!!! :grin: love the dabble popping :tongue:
-
Well had some more major problems...
The crankbolt was a stretch bolt it appears so it came slightly loose and ended up shearing the key way off the gear. This in turn messed up my exhaust valves with them all hitting my pistons.
Took the head off, sent it off to be rebuilt and polished the pistons. Put it all back together and started on 3 cyclinders...which then went down to 2 and died. Turns out the person who rebuilt the head seated two valve springs wrong and they instantly snapped two of the valves and of course more dents in the pistons......
Ended up risking it and bought a used AGU large port head off of ebay and the pistons...which came and I put straight back in and it fired up spot on.
Next was mapping, unfortunately the turbo (hybrid KO4 - 023) seems to be prown for surge and creep issues. Lots of people over on SCN are really struggling to map it using the N75 control and are resulting to MBC's. It seems if a high flow manifold is added then lots of surge occurs to until thats sorted I won't be going down that route. Anyway, Nick spent lots and lots of time on the custom mapping of this and it is now (I believe!) one of the only hybrid KO4's that is run purely on N75 control (Nice one Nick!)
Videos and pictures!

Engine bay...lots to do yet though, my other adapter finally showed up today so can start plumbing the braided parts in. N75 has to be relocated, breather system im waiting on all the oil resistant hosing to come and water coolant pipes forge stuff will be on its way after christmas is out of the way.

All I have to say is thanks so much to Nick for his time and effort on the mapping, I think the grin on his face was bigger than mine lol
The car really shifts now and the next upgrade will be watermeth/high flow manifold but im not going to be the guinepigg on that one. Another on SCN is having issues with major compressor surge on boost now he has upgraded the manifold so im not sure I'll be going down that route soon. To be really honest I think if I was going to the extent of a decent high flow manifold I'd go to a gt28 or similar turbo.
From the infomation I can also gather this is the ONLY hybrid KO4 unit currently mapped on N75 alone without using an MBC. That just goes to show how good Nick is at mapping cars. If I could give him ebay style feedback it would be something like....A************************* mapper, absolutly superb. Thanks again Nick, seriously made a brilliant end to my 2010, and I can only see 2011 being more fun!

Thanks!

Cheers for the comments Dan :grin:
I think getting Dans mapping to the state where it is today has certainly ended the year on a high note for me, from day one I wanted only the use the n75 for boost control as this is what its for, so why spend £20 on an MBC stop major over boost and to mask poor remapping skils.
From day one Dan had input with the mapping and watched every stage come together while was making fine adjustments, and he fully understands all the time and effort going in to getting the car to perform how it is now. I would even go as far as saying Dan now understand the code inside map more than his last tuner and most tuners in the uk..lol
Nick
Its defo unique....

Wow.... You don't get knocked down easily do you!...You just keep at it regardless of what goes wrong... Or you have a fat wallet... Either way that car is epic... Well done is all i can say. Amazing ride.

Lol no, I have almsot given up several times but end of the day a project is a project.
First head rebuild cost me £250 which was money down the drain..ended up buying a used large port head of ebay for £56 in unknown condition and rods and pistons from the same guy for £30 lol Fortunately the pistons and head were fine, one of the rods had spun so was knackered but that was all...obviously I didn't need the rods as I am stillusing my forged ones.
Cheers for the comment :smiley:
-
Nice job mate, car looks really evil in the snow lol
As per a few people on ukmkivs, any part number on that heat shield behind the turbo? Looks a lot better than anything on the normal 1.8Ts. I've scanned through ETKA but can't find anything...
-
Awesome work, looks really good in the snow.

Amazing :cool: :cool: :cool:

Its the one I pulled off the S3 mate, so if you have etka search under 1999 Audi S3...should be the one :smiley:
Thanks for all the really nice comments, well appreciated!

Have you done a rolling launch using the R-Tech brake and boost settings which I added to your mapping?
I heard another tuner told you it could not be done??? PMSL.... They aint got a clue what I can do av they?.. :smug: They are even telling members that launch control cannot be done with oem ecus and we are full of BS? I cannot wait to get my AUM back on the rod, just placed an order for my new H-beam rods, when its back up and running I will be working on a 3 stage launch control using every limiter in the ecu..lol watch this space.
I will get your car on a dyno dynamic rolling road next week to finish the timing mapping and get a final power run...300bhp???
-
It's driving me mad,whats the yank in your workshop?It looks like a late 60's Olds Cutlass or a Buick Skylark but i can see enough of it.
Had a few yanks myself so im just being nosey.
Great project btw :cool:

Not too far away with the old's cutlass - The SS badge on the wheel arch should have been the giveaway though. Its a 1970 Chevelle SS 396

I haven't yet - I keep forgetting its there... I will go out tonight for a play though! I think I'll try get hold of a newer N75 aswell as I think that one might not be perfect still! Fingers crossed we can nail the 300hp I think Welly is running quite well now although its all gone a bit quiet over on SCN...
Thanks for the comments everyone :)

Ahhh missed that!DOH! :grin:
Love these in black with silver stripes!What colour you going for?
Was you lucky enough to get 4 on the floor?Or you on the column?
I have loads of contacts for spares if you ever get stuck.
B & H Auto Centres
3 Balby Road Balby, DN4 0RA
Being one of them.
I needed a wiper motor for a 1953 Buick special straight 8(vacum operated) the guys had me one in the uk in 5 days!
I also needed a starter motor for a Plymouth Fury police car i had and they got me one of them in 3days!
Great lads they are.

Mine is an auto but floor shifter with factory buckets. Its in the original (ish) colour, light blue with black stripes.
Fortunately my dad owns Stateside Autoparts so bits I need for it I can get pretty sharpish too ;)
-
Aaah wicked that comes in handy then ha ha.
Do you get to many shows?
Americana International is the best imo.Been going since i was 5(im nearly 30 now)
-
I can't drive the car till im 25. I use to go to a lot of american car meets but they just got repetitive and the cars just got worse. America is where the decent shows happen.
Anyway, decided to have a play with something a bit different:

oooooow... Whatcha doing there then?

That's proper nice buddy!! :afro:

oooooow... Whatcha doing there then?
Bought this and a tubular top mount from a member on here. Its actually on the manifold in the picture but cant see it much.
Fingers crossed some even bigger figures for the near future :grin:

Get a Polo 1.8T and shove a k03 hybrid in with the mix, 0-100mph is a tad rapid and a bit hairy with 290lbft which torque steer in every gear... :laugh:
-
Well car is pretty much back together now...need to do a few more things but should all be completed for the weekend. Looking forward to what she can make with her in Nicks safe hands [:)]

Is she down RTech this weekend ??

Is she down RTech this weekend ??
Hey Dan,
Awesome to meet you today, thanks for following us back after the alternator problems! If you can upload some of the pictures you took today that would be great :) Hope your journey home doesnt take too long!
Right so, its all up and running in a fashion....it made 316hp at 13 psi. Upped the boost and it seems the alternator has given up the ghost. Car started tp run lean and then lights dimmed, clocks lost power etc...will try fix it tomorrow then play with the fueling.
-
Uploading at the moment mate :smiley:
-
Legend!
Seriously cant thank you enough for earlier mate - hope you didnt mind. Owe you one for sure :)

Well went to RTech today to have my car checked over.. Ended up meeting Dan with the Quattro mk4 GTI.. And all i can say is the car and owner are both awesome.. totally genuine..
Started off the day with Dan not tightening up a boost pipe :lipsrsealed: so we got that fixed back on and it went on the rollers and made 305bhp then Nick spent a bit more time fiddling with it and managed to up the duty and get it to 316bhp.. Nick said with more time mapping hes hoping to get another 50bhp out of it.. 365bhp :shocked: :shocked:
I went out in the car a few times and all i can say is from right low down all the way to the top of the rev range this car pulls and it pulls bloody hard.. but is still for some odd reason able to be used to cruise about in as we went Mc Donalds and the only problem was the staff not being able to hear us :grin: :grin:
Unfortunately right at the end of today the car developed a alternator related problem and started playing up.. but this as said shall be fixed tomo and hopefully Dan can have loads more fun..
I am one total jealous bastard and now miss my mk4 like fook :sad: :sad:
Well heres some pics and vids..

looks like a good day out!! appart from the altenator!! dam.. 365 :lipsrsealed: i want!!!!!!!!!! :smug:
-
Haha awesome Dan! Cheers for sorting all that mate. You need to come back down again, was a laugh having you about. You going to UD?
-
Haha flames look awesome in that video!
-
Hello,
Thanks to tech1889 for the hobnobs and helping me and Dan out today, I think we kept you entertained well, with the BMW sideways action with me a the wheel, then my mate TingTongs efforts which ended up hitting a kirb and knocking the tyre off the rim... then my Top Gear method of using flammable liquids of getting the tyre back in the rim with many flames and pops....lol then to the testing of Dan new big turbo (highlight of my week) 315bhp starting block aint bad imo....
@Dan get the aleternator fix mate and let me know how is going, I have leant you the best tuning tool for a 1.8T lemmiwinks..lol NOT. But it will allow you to dial the fuel in for the current boost settings until I can get working back on the full code mapping. In theory I would say with 20psi and afr around 11.8:1 should be well over 335bhp with ease.
Looking forward to next week..
By the way Dan.. your limiter fuel cut is now at 15prm per cut from 25prm we had on the last map....hehe..
-
Haha awesome :) I thought you almost set fire to his car if im honest hahaha
Fingers crossed its a simple fix tomorrow!
-
No worries guys.. was a good laugh.. and yes Nick your drifting was ermm yer ermm.. and his was terrible :grin: :grin:
Shall be back down next month or so :smiley:
Shall be seeing this car again !!
-
Sounds like an awesome day :grin:
I'm looking forward to whenever I get a re-mappable car just for the R-Tech experience :cool:
-
Awesome power :cool:

Love the 5mpg your getting haha

Managed to get 27mpg yesterday lol..
Looks awesome mate glad you got the alternator sorted.. did you up the fueling at top end ??
need to get rid of engine management light as well or is that coz you turned esp off ??

:grin: stuff that, that would have to be a sunny day car then lol, would use half a tank a year with the amount of sun we have lol
-
Thats not good is it when you think of it like that.. if you had a day on the rollers you would need loads of jerry cans handy :grin: :grin:
worth it though when you come back from driving it and have a grin the size of a double decker bus.. :evil:
-
Haha! That lower mpg than my mates ferarri 360 gets, although that's still only 6 lol
-
Could start a club.. 'Under 10mpg owners club' :grin: :grin:
-
Managed to get 27mpg yesterday lol..
Looks awesome mate glad you got the alternator sorted.. did you up the fueling at top end ??
need to get rid of engine management light as well or is that coz you turned esp off ??
Yes mate - no power meant no amps to the pump so killed the fuel. All is spot on now :D
EPC light is on and always has been...something to do with the wiring of the S3 loom and my interior loom on the car. Will eventually sort it!
-
Lol - generally I get about 25mpg off boost as found last night when my c clip flew off my wastegate and I had no boost the whole drive home lol....
But figure £30 - 50 miles-70 miles is a good estimate with lots of entertaining driving lol

I really do love this car :laugh:
Just wondering what finish have you got on your wheels? are they satin black?

Lean running was down to the charging fault and not amps to keeping the fuel pump on full song. But now is pulls like a fecking train. Wheel spinning on the dyno around 140mph 6000rpm 350bhp, that with all extra strapping for the big turbo stuff we do..lol :laugh: We had to fully load the dyno and get the wheels spinning in 3rd gear before the power runs to get heat in the tyres.
My aim will be 370bhp 320lbft.. :grin:
You got to remember I have not done any timing mapping on the car yet, just load/boost and fuel, so in theory I can drop 3psi and have more advance and still get the same power... watch this space..

Yes bud, satin black - £25 a wheel with centre caps powdercoated at city powder coaters in brum!
This car is so quick now, cant wait to see what else it can do....Just need to fit the turbo back on now lol
-
Dan i need to come down and see this again i need an adrenaline rush ive been bored since last weekend.. the turbo pop ?? why was it removed ?? and your gona need new tyres soon and get that slow puncture done as you dont have a spare lol
Nice to know that the lean running was just a simple problem..
Nick at this rate your gona be pushing close to 400bhp lol
-
Haha feel free to come down every weekend mate. Always welcome - if you dont fancy the journey home can always come out with a couple of us on Saturday aswell lol
Removed it in less than 20 minutes earlier - as the crappy bolts I had, had come undone and the gasket literally blew in half. So better nuts and a better gasket on the way! Will be back on the road Friday night :)
-
Might take you up on that offer soon bud..
bloody hell thats yet another thing you forget to do up properly lol atleast you know the turbo can be removed easy for future referance you happy with how its running at the mo or want more ??
I tihnk Nick has gone to town on this car so far with the mapping.. the back firing gear changes etc.. dont see that on many cars especially a mk4 golf lol
-
Impressive power figures... Must be a hoot to drive. :cool:

Im not usually a fan of mk4's but this is the nuts.

Hey all,
Sorry for not posting for awhile! I did quite a lot more to the car but after I put it back on the road it went bang. Its now being broken however quite a bit has already sold.
Still have the wheels and brakes but the turbo kit/bumpers and tailgate and a few other things have gone.
Cheers,
DAn

The car has now been sold and will be going to its new home where a new 1.8t (much more standard) will be being dropped in!
I have now bought my new project aswell - the aim of 500bhp per tonne and amazing handling has arrived!
Dan
-
And for reference the last time this car was on the dyno it made 368BHP and 333LB/ft of torque witha blowing manifold and running lean with the standard fuel pump...
Then I took it off the road and did loads....should have made around 380bhp but unfortunately it dropped a valve....standard valves FTL!

Nice..... hope he posts some updates up in off topic when possible.
I was so fecked off about my dads's other halfs one. she used to know a bloke that took care of it that suddenly moved away, the pictures of it from before her and my dad met were showroom. failed MOT on minor stuff, didn't know what to do so parked on grass under a tree and left it to the point where you could see the speakers from the outside! :shocked: She kept fooling herself that it was still worth loads of money, in my eyes the only thing that was worth saving was the motor, 7 years of never being run I got it going in 10 minutes and still sounded beastly. she had to let it go for next to nothing, if it was in a better state I would have had it off her. what a waste.

Aha!
Well hello Dan!

Haha you dummy! :P

Unfortunately the most valueable part of the car is the shell....the engines are so mechanically sound yet so udnerpowered everyone takes them out and just hordes them. Then they bang in the 2.8 engines which arn't much mroe powerful tbh!
