RE: Pierburg Fuel Injection: Rally Car

["Ned Ritchie" <NED@IntendedAcceleration.com>]

Scott,

I had two Pierburg injection systems.  One came on the JB rally car parked
at my shop, and know where they are now.  I have the manuals.

I know the location of three aluminum engines of the STOCK Sport Quattro
type.  These cannot hold the head gasket tight enough to keep water from
leaking under continuous hard driving.  This type was also disposed of by
putting them in cars in remote sales areas.  I also know of one "Lehmann"
cast extra special alloy one that can stand the pressure that was only used
in the rally cars.  These special ones were the foundation of the high hp
rally engines.

Hello,

I am looking for any service/repair literature for a 80's vintage Pierburg
mechanical/electronic fuel injection system that was used on some factory
based 10V Turbo Audi Rally cars.

Any US Rally folks or European list members out there who have worked on
this system?

On a semi-related note:
I found the Kolbenschmidt/Pierburg web site at
http://www.kolbenschmidt.de/e/unternehmensgruppe/index.html

In the History section there is a reference to the following:

"1980
       Establishment of a new light metal engine
       block manufacturing site in Neckarsulm"

I assume this is where the aluminum block engines came from that were used
in the Sport quattro and in the rally cars?

Does anyone have a spare aluminum engine block lying around?

I need to find one for a customer....

Thanks in advance
