Engine is in. This one will have A/C

Will you be at Carlisle this year? I want to talk this AC thing through.

 

[ralleyquattro]

Sorry, no Carlisle for me this year.
What do you want to know??

 

[grillage]

What lines you're using, where all the stuff is going. Are you using 7a lines and such or s2 stuff?
What radiator are you using?

I have the same setup for the compressor. the condenser should fit in front of my radiator but I'm currently just running a 7a radiator. I expect to upgrade to something thicker at some point.

That's about it

7A stuff should work all around if you use the early firewall to dryer hose, which exits the chassis through tie rod hole, very similar to the S2 setup.
Later 7A hose ran on the inside of the engine compartment and there is no space with the turbo etc.
I am using stock 7A rad and stock 7A condenser.
HTH

Thanks!

Following, as I plan to have a working AC for my 3B to CQ swap. Sounds like I need to locate the early AC line and drier.

 

[ralleyquattro]

Test fitting more bits.

 

[grillage]

Going with stock turbo setup?

 

[ralleyquattro]

Yes, with a stage 1+ chiptuning

A small update.

Car is now running!!
Now it just needs the interior sorted and safety/plates etc.

Woohoo!!

 

[ralleyquattro]

S2 gauge copies.
XTuners make a perfect copy of the S2 gauges.

S2 gauge copies.
XTuners make a perfect copy of the S2 gauges.

That's great info, thanks Martin. Prices for OEM gauges have sure skyrocketed in the last couple years.

Yeah i've had xtuners faces before, its just a shame audi no longer sell rs2 speedo cluster surrounds and a genuine set is about a grand now.

Congrat Martin.
Waiting the relits

 

[ralleyquattro]

Small improvement.

 

[ralleyquattro]

S2 rear bumper added, finally!!

 

[Nickel_5000tq]

Nice to see your Quattro back on the road.

 

[ralleyquattro]

Feels sooo different. Powerful and smooth.
I miss the diesel economy, smell and sound though.

 

[Nickel_5000tq]

Om606 is a good alternative for diesel.
