[s-cars] Update on my 20V motor with pictures (Ned, Mihnea, e t al)

[Robert Pastore]

I've got the same "WHAT IS THIS" question that was raised on Audifans:

2nd photo from top: 
Looking at the head above the head bolt between the #4 and #5 cylinders,
there appears to be a big hole.  Is this damage, or ???

James,
Intake is a Heinz Lehmann special cast made specially for the Sport 
quattro(SQ) with a special adapter plate for the water outlets as seen on
the 
pics. The original SQ had water passages cast into the intakemanifold.

Cylinderhead is original Sport Quattro with the same chamber volume same as 
the regular 20V head but smaller intake runners. Camshafts are with chain
and 
should have been with gears if it had been the original SQ and mechanical 
lifters.SQ also used studs on the head not the torque-bolts.

Piston and block is stock Sport Quattro from what I can see on the pics. 
Engine code should be KW if it is the real thing in aluminium and worth a
lot 
of money. Compression ratio is 8.0:1 +/-0,3 and the bore 79,5 is identical
to 
SQ.

The extra machined grooves around the cylinders and on the cyl head is
unique 
for the sport Quattro engine and suppose to improve cooling which is a
problem 
on these due to lower quality on the aluminium used the as opposed to the 
never 20V casting.

Owners of original Sport quattros could have this modification by Lehman
some 
years ago(and it costed a lot), which included new intake plus spacer,
ported 
and polished head, new stainless tubular header and bigger KKK27 turbo with 
smaller exhaust housing, giving the original 306 hp motor a boost to 420 hp.

This was done without doing anything to the injectors or L-Jetronic ECU, but

boost was raised from 1,0 barg to 1,3 barg.

So to summarize James, what is on the pictures is worth a LOT of money for 
those who looks for this for their toys...

Best regards Joern,MTM RS Avant
