finally pulled the trigger and do the build thread.
here is the story. A few years back I had a coupe that I sold and I missed it. so I started looking for one and I came across one in Michigan it is 1991 Tornado red in summer 2016 that has not moved since 2006. Even though I wanted a CQ. the red wasn't my favorite color but I still bought it. and in November 2016 I found the a pearl white in my town in rough shape but no problem. since the car will be stripped down and rebuild. I was waiting after winter to start the build and in the mean time I start acquiring parts.
Free Parts if anyone is interested
-complete black leather rear seats in great condition .... gone
-center console included part that shows battery, oil pressure... gone
-glove box ...gone
-original steering wheel in good condition if anyone interested
-instrument cluster .... gone
possibly some other misc laying around that I dont need
color: black
otherwise I will throw them away
Power goal: looking for a 'reliable' 500Whp or Close
so far what I already have:
full motor 07K with wiring harness
01e transmission for S4 with linkage
4KQ driveshaft
Hx35 turbo from Eurotrash Motorsport
Body
A7 steering wheel that will be sent to redlineGood for Alcantara wrapping
B4 front end complete swap
S2 OEM rear bumper
RS2 fiberglass front bumper in order coming from Europe
As far as paint will go I will repaint it Casablanca white as this was my first Audi color (B5 model)
Main things that I still need to order:
Motor and Tranny mount
transmission Rebuild kit from (beef up that tranny a bit)
TTRS crankshaft
schrick Camshaft
JE Pistons
IE rods
What year engine 07k do you have? For 500whp, you don't necessarily need the 8-bolt TTRS crankshaft. You could find a forged 6-bolt and not have any issues so long as you use ARP fasteners and loctite.
If you've got an early engine, you'd also have to update the timing setup to use the later TTRS crank IIRC.
Same goes for the cams, they're not necessary for 500whp. You could also try a TTRS intake cam for a cheap improvement, Hank probably has plenty he could sell you.
What gas? You should be able to get close to 500whp on 91-93 oct. E85 would make it easy.
It is 2009 CBUA! I will tear apart this weekend to find out for sure but I doubt it has a forged crank
TTRS crank is because I wanted peace of mind on the forged part plus 8-bolt crank is nice as far as flywheel choice and i didnt know the early 07K had a fix for the timing that is why I was staying away from them.
Cams is because I will rev that engine to 8K RPM and neither 07K and TTRS cams are good past 7K.
500Whp is for reliability with Room to go big power on a swap of a turbo
I don't see mention of an oil pan for longitudinal placement.
Are you doing something radical to the sub-frame in lieu of?
Or going really radical and placing this horizontally?

Am I the first one fitting a 07K/making a thread for 07K in a CQ?
I know it has been done in a UrQ, 90Q and
I know Gabriel.b is working on a 07K for his coupe too at the moment.

Get in line if you're looking for an oil pan. The list for demand is ever growing, slow.
My 07k project is at a standstill waiting for the next batch of pans to be made. It's the only thing I wouldn't wanna try to duplicate.
So in the meantime, I dump money into readily available AAN parts.
Oh i didnt realize that was the point you were making. Yeah Jim was first from a technical standpoint, but I dont think there are any b3/b4 S2/CQ
running around with O7K's yet.
Mine is also going to be dry sump. So hopefully ill be able to claim first dry sump b3 woot
Yep exactly!
Quick Update!
I dropped and off course i was not forged!
Hey Gabriel, Can you verify this:
LVPainterZ said on the vortex forum
"Fun fact.
try to debunk if you guys want.
the oil pan bolts will tell you
T30=Forged
10mm =Cast
does not apply to the ttrs
I've gone through about 60 motors and not been wrong once."

I'm eyeballing an early 07k (2006) that I can have for a 3rd of the price of the TTRS crank. but i was wondering how the timing can be updated? from what Issam Abed said the timing can not be updated unless new crank which comes down to buying a newer 07K. how likely is it to fail anyways?
If you use a late block you need a switch to "old chains". New but pre 08 guides/rails/chains.
And the gear that relays cam chain to crank. That needs to be swapped if using late block as well.
Crank gear is diff then late versions.
So oil pump. Relay gear and chais/guids have to match respective crank.
In short, if you're after a forged crank, and find one, get the whole block if the head is good instead of mix and matching.
All this info can be easily found on tpp...
