This is still a work in progress as there is much tidying up to do with the wiring and generally making the bay look pretty. I thought you may find this of interest so I will post up regular updates as the car should be mapped later this week on DTA P8 Pro.
The spec is an Audi TT 3.2 (BHE engine code) with Schrick 264/268 cams, flowed head, Jenvey 45mm throttle housings on a custom mage Grant Motorsport manifold. Custom made exhaust with 6 branch tubular manifold. It’s running off a modified O2A box with 4.24 final drive, TDi 5th gear and Quaife ATB diff, Helix Autosport clutch, VW Motorsport front engine mount. VW Motorsport gearshift tower & cables. Serious modifications to the front panel to lower the radiator and get the heat shield into position. Bonnet pins will be required before anyone asks where the catch has gone! There is also an addition of an oil cooler in the lower bumper vent and one additional fan still to be fitted to the front side of the radiator.
Those of you familiar with the 3.2 should spot the individual coil packs have been replaced with a modified VR6 coil pack. I have something lined up to fit in the coil pack recess to tidy the rocker cover. You may remember the old 2.8 24v I was running had a polished cover but I can’t be bothered cleaning the damn thing every time I take it out in the rain hence the red powder coat. I live in England not sunny LA!
Any way finally had the engine running yesterday and it started and held on the run in map with out any problems. Hopefully the dyno mapping will go well although I think the CAT in the exhaust may be restrictive as to will the 3 silencer cans. The trouble with a free flow exhaust on this engine is serious noise levels so a compromise must be had.
P.S. I have a 28 second MPEG file of the engine running on idle should anyone wish to upload it and throw on a link?
Big thanks to Grant Motorsport so far and I can't wait to drive it.
