So today came to a close with smoke blowing out the tail pipe. All I have
left on this project is to reinstall the headlights, bumper, and grill. I
also have to re-adjust my distributor, engine was running a bit hot with a 1
tooth advance.
Everything done:
Spec Stage 3+ clutch
Findanza Lightwieght flywheel
Clutch slave
Magnecor 10mm custom race wires
7A head
new lifters
7A valve cover
7A cams
3b bottom end
K24 sport turbo
motor mounts
ARP head studs
injector seals
and other parts as needed.
I was not able to put S4 rings, rod/main bearings due to availability and
warehouse location move causeing thousands of misplaced parts.
Someone contacted me offline about what i am dogin with my old block. If you
could please email me again, that would be grand.

Lucky for me, the only parts i have purchased have been bearings,
seals gaskets and such. We just have so many parts that have been collected
over the years new and used. We have like 4-6 differnt turbos laying around
that were at one point used for a few dyno runs by other poeple and now just
sit. So since we started our company mainly for Hummers, we are finaly able
to do some R&D and try to get the audi/vw side going.We plan on builing
800+hp motor by the end of the summer for one of our 2 sedans or 2 wagaons
for 1/4. We got a 'cuda comming in sometime to install IIC 034 box. Since it
is our box, we are installing it for free to try to get some mopar guys in.
the block is a blueprint 440 with 668hp and640ftlbs with a 750cfm carb. So
with the IIC we should get over 700hp on the engine dyno while i tune it.
Since we are also a tool and die shop, we have 4axis cnc and a whole machine
shop at our disposal. We are just trying to get some attention. We have
spent or advertising buget for the hummer stuff on humvee.net and looks like
it is paying off, we maybe be booked on cummins engine conversions for the
summer. We just dont know how to get our name into the audi market without
spending a couple grand to build up a car to take to the tracks. Hummer
market was easy
oh ya, couldnt you just slap the 3b cams in?
I don¹t have an extra set of 3B cams to do so with, and that
wouldn¹t lower the effective CR as will eliminating the valve overlap in
part by keeping the intake valve open longer into the compression stroke.
I was going to document the machining details required to adapt the
3B water manifold to a 7A head and publish for all, but have not found a
stripped down 7A head close enough that I didn¹t have to ship it. Javid has
done so, but he will not release the details because his machinist built
fancy and expensive fixtures at J¹s expense and J wants to recover his
investment by doing the for hire machining. To bad, maybe you will pick up
the task.

Andy,
We have vastly different perspectives! Mine is to do mods smart and
cost effective, ³on the cheap³. I have an unfinished and currently shelved
project, ³3Bing the 7A on the cheap² which involves adding the 3B externals
to the 7A in situ and altering the cam timing to both eliminate valve
overlap and reduce the effective CR of the 7A.

They are doing away with emissions here in ohio by 2008, my
car is not due for anther year anyway. I am realy not worried yet. If I
don't pass, I'll spend the 1-2 hours swaping cams. Does not bother me, it
will be my little experiment. I should just get it echecked just to check it
out the numbers, since it is free here.
For the short time I have been on the list, seems to me you
just about know every part of these cars. We have been shooting ideas around
here at the shop about a solid lifter setup on my old engine which soon
seems to becomming a stroker project. We are always trying to come up with
new inovative ideas .Any thoughts /ideas/comments on what you would like to
see done?
Thanks,

Andy,
Apparently you¹ve not studied and compared the cam durations
and valve
timing of the various S5 Audi engines (as published in the
relevant
Bentleys), and maybe you don¹t understand the differences in
same between
forced induction and naturally aspirated engines.
Specifically, valve
overlap. NA engine design with valve overlap uses the
kinetic exhaust energy
to help induce the new charge into the cylinder. FI design
employs no valve
overlap to prevent the raw charge from being blown out with
the exhaust
gasses. So, unless you change the 7A valve timing, you will
have a fuel
inefficient engine, one never being capable of passing any
emissions test.
Maybe you don¹t care.
Good luck!
Bernie
