[urq] #900163 ur quattro

[Brandon Rogers]

Hi Roland-
Welcome to the list.  Sounds like a good one.

Are you going to keep the CIS with the new turbo - or do an EFI conversion?
Just curious...

Also - curious about the custom 2.5" exhaust - 2.5" is stock - not sure how
much a custom 2.5" system could help any more than just removing the center
resonator from the stock setup and maybe doing a hi-flow cat...

Sounds like a great car with some cool mods.

Hello, 

Just checking in to provide a little info on my car.  It is a 1983 ur
quattro having the last six VIN numbers of 900163.  As you can see, it is a
very early car, with a build date of March 1982.  It has a rear sway bar, as
the early cars did.  I understand that export of these cars did not start
until 900099.  

In any case, it as an ABT modified car with the cam, ecu, and adjustsble
boost controller (I have the actual receipt!), along with a gauge package at
the shifter base.  It has the european front and rear bumpers, along with
the sloping grill and H1/H4 Hella lights.  It has 42K miles now, and it is a
very good running car.  The car recently received H&Rs, Bilstein's and Toyo
R1R autocross tires.  The rear fenders were rolled ever so slightly at GMG
Motorsport (the WSC Porsche guys).  

Next up will be a oil cooled hybrid ball bearing turbo with the Turbonetics
T3/T4 center for very early spool-up, as in right off of idle.  A bigger
intercooler and radiator will be a must soon.  A custom 2-1/2" exhaust will
be built by either Hytech Exhaust or GMG Motorsport.  Other mods will be a
voltage stabilizer and grounding kit in the engine bay; the car needs this
badly.  Soon to come is a new postive cable, using "0" gauge copper from the
+ alternator post to the battery, as I'm sure the existing one is nicely
oxidized.  Later, I'll install HID kits for H1/H4 in the headlamp, and then
the fog light positioned in the bumper.

This week, I'll get a new driver's side window regulator, but it will not be
a rebuilt Audi part, which is unfortunate, but I'm happy to even get one, as
I've been told the early cars have different regulators than say the 1984
"proper fusebox cars."

Interestingly enough, I've net a old ur q mechanic who is semi retired and
he claims to have the Lehman ECU program.  I have a spare MAC-02 ECU so I
was going to let him mod my spare.  This sounds very interesting at the
least.  There can't be that many Lehman programmed ECUs floating around.

I'm sure I've rambled long enough.  Please count me in on your registry.
Thanks.

Regards, 

RW
