finally! enough low ball offers will drive a man to finish anything!

 

Yippie!!!! We will always be here for you. Trust me, I needed a boost yesterday and everyone lent a hand and now my car is running. This will be a beautiful car when it's done!!

 

:woowoo:
Get er done!

You using a blackdashboard in there?
btw your wife will thank you

 

btw your wife will thank you

I wouldn't go THAT far. Mine hasn't thanked me yet and Javad's definitely didn't thank him (based on an intimate thread he posted a couple weeks ago. :wink: )

 

thanks would be the ultimate goal, but more realistic......
just no more :x , which causes me to go from to :frustrated: , and in the end it causes :curses:,
and putting me back :horse: ....
the viscious cycle.....I just hope the audi loves me back....... :wink:

any infos on the intercooler to use and the fuel rail?
thanks....

 

I used the 3b fuel rail and 034 drilled and tapped the manifold to work with it.

 

so after trying to get rid of the coupe out of desperation for cash and unwillingness to put the time and effort into it, I have gotten a new found motivation and am going to finish her..
I owe that all to motorgeek....

:woowoo: :woowoo: thata boy.

i'd use the bigger IC, got a welding shop around there that could weld it up for ya? maybe if you took off he IM and fuel rail and take it to them, they could probably make that fit with out much of a fuss.

of course if you can weld that disregard that lol, not sure if you've got a tig or not.

 

you'll be really happy you stuck with it

 

since I already have the aan rail, i'm just going to chop it and reweld and see what happens...I think the 3b rail has the fuel line attachment on the other side compared to the aan one, which would be nice, but i'm making due with what I can....no one has redflagged me, so I'm going for it........

I don't know which intercooler is the bigger one....
they are both 8 in tall, one core is 15 in long, the other is 12,
the shorter one is 3.2 in thick and the other is 2.8....
the thicker one has many intricate cooling paths while the other has a simple cooling channel.....
which one will cool better? I'm assuming the fatter one with all the paths, but not certain....

I just ran into some friends from highschool who I haven't seen in a long time, they got me into cars a long time ago and helped me build my first honda....
it turns out they just started a shop which is right down the road from my house, do all fab work and what not........
since I don't weld, I got the hookup....... :woowoo:

in due time i'll be :drive:
a little ahead of myself.......

 

which one will fit better behind your bumper? i'd say go for the longer one, the benefits that the other one has in width, i think you'll make up for in the longer one with more surface area. i could be wrong. but i'd go with that one, i think it'd fit better up front.

 

the longer one would look better...it would fill out the opening more....both will fit fine behind the bumper....
hmmm.....

Don't waist the time with AAN harness, you already have stage IIc, much easier and quicker to install better results, I spend 200$ on my intercoler. Glad to here you are not giving up. janis

 

he's only got stage IIA, his reasoning for using the aan harness and ecu is b/c it'll cost him another grand or so to upgrade and get a plug and play harness.

 

Yah that's what i thought wen i build my car, i did spend 3 weekends in a snake nest with wiring diagrams,Even stock AAN ECU coast around 600-800$ + 750$ to chip my ECU, now car is up to speed but just not fast enough, I have 420hp at the flywheel, now im going IIc, got to redo all over again. I wish I started out with standalone. My time do cost $$. Hate to start everything over again. Janis

 

Here is some pics of intercooler

 

I'd like to do the IIc, but I just don't have the cash right now....
I supposedly have the aan harness and puter in a bin at the shop that was building the car, they said they are supposed to go through it this weekend because they just moved shops, so we'll see............
of course if that doestn't turn up, I'll have to pay for the upgrade from my IIa to IIc and buy the plug in harness....not a bad alternative, just costly at a time when I'm trying not to incur too much cost.....

are you running stock turbo and internals with that much power?
just curious to see what I can get on stock motor and turbo.....

 

looks good.....much bigger than the intercooler that I am gonna be using.......
I was thinking to cut into the front crossmember and have the intercooler sit in it...but I guess it will fit fine in front like yours.....

 

Nothing is stock , im just saying you will spend a lot more in a future if you will use S4 stuff, im trying to sell everything what I have right now, to to get IIC, Motronics is very limited tuning vise

 

I will enjoy the regrets if the time comes when I need the IIc.....I'lll probably keep the IIa instead of selling it for the future possibilities........
gonna be pretty stock for a while....but at least i'll be :drive:
I love that emoticon....

 

I just got a s2 rear bumper through ebay uk for 10 pounds........ :thumbsup:
too bad its 89 to ship it.......hopefully my only splurge with this basic build......
the rear bumper always bugged me so I had to do it.....

 

 

thanks mate........

 

so update time, you got the IIC upgrade, S2 front bumper, what else? hows everything coming?

 

Hey, your oil cooler mounting is a little better than mine! :wink:

 

thanks mate........

Dont thank me...get your ass back in the garage.
