Audi S3 GT3582R stroker Build (previously GT3071r)

[DPJ]

That's what I thought, but I didn't want tut-tuts if I did it.

Honing tool on shopping list.

I've removed the same downpipe from a lcr with no problems. Cut off the fixing leg thats inserted into the rubber mount, slide the downpipe off the turbo studs and pull the downpipe up and out. no need to cut it up or drop the subframe unless you want too.

4wd transfer box in here tho as well which you dont have on a 2wd leon

 

[barnsley]

I'll look into cutting off the mount as that is defo in the way but I suspect it still won't as simple as the LCR... mines a quattro and the propshaft is in the way...

<tuffty/>

sure you can get it out with removing the prop bolts and moving it the the side my mate never had any bother once he did this

 

[krisbutler02]

ill be up to see this tonite

 

[gazcuprablk]

nice build will be very interested how this holds out with standard head as mine has a standard head on at the mo but has scat rods and new bam pistons, seen this up there in february when i was up there gettin mine mapped will be goin back soon for some more mapping cant wait.

keep up the good work

Just dropped into Bills tonight to arrange some stuff and the brackets for the calipers had arrived so while I was there I thought I may as well fit them up to see what they look like. The more observant of you will notice the disc is actually the wrong one for the drivers side (grooves are the wrong way around) but this was purely to test the bracket fitment.

So Bill now has brackets and braided hoses suitable for these calipers. He is also going to do some for the cheaper 323mm LCR discs making this a very cheap alternative to Brembos using the calipers I bought from ebay.

Back on it tomorrow though, plenty to do

seen this tonite , so many pipes haha

Busy day, DP was very tight and tried various suggestions on how to remove this but ended up cutting the mount on the DP and undoing the propshaft to move it to one side... not as easy as it looked to be honest as I had to lever the engine/gearbox forward to disengage the prop fully from the transfer box.

All the OEM stuff is now off ready for the new turbo/mani/DP/TIP

Finished cleaning the sump and rocker cover too... AVS blows goats!!! don't do it kids!!!

Before...

...after...

... and finally a pic of the brackets and pipes for the AP Racing ebay specials....

...to be continued... etc...

Nice project.
Are you sure the rotors are the wrong way around?
These are machined (usually) to have the grooves swept toward the calliper for bigger bite.
A very good way to learn about your car with expert guidance.
Bill never fails to impress me.

You are right about the grooves however the caliper is fitted leading edge (front) so the grooves are the wrong way. Its not obvious from the pic which way the car is facing

Yes it is and both Bill and Tony have been absolute stars with all the advice they have given me (and occasional extra set of hands)

Certainly wouldn't have got this far along without his support and I am truly indebted to him.

the internal venting is what determins the direction over the grooves.. which in these particular disks makes the grooves lean fwd (aggressive)

Fair play, the xtra components in the way of the downpipe compared to a LCR does make it a tighter job. Another hurdle overcome.

 

[tufftybloke]

Casual day cleaning the head and inlet mani, fitting the caliper brackets and braided hoses and playing with the fitment of the turbo and its pipework...

Clean head and inlet mani

Brakes more or less done bar bleeding and fitting the discs

Studs and pipes fitted to the turbo to see if there are any probs and there was. Some of the fittings needed modding to fit and the supplied oil drain pipe wasn't for a transverse engine so gonna have to make something to fit properly...

Cleared a nice space for it all to fit

Should have the head on this weekend and a start on the custom TIP. There is also some work to do to get the comp outlet connected to the cahrge pipe but Bill and I have a few ideas for that :icon_thumright:

interesting thread.
does the "pag parts" manifold have a good reliability record only ive never heard of them before, how much are they and were do you get them from ?

Dave

 

[ibizacupra]

pagparts.com and yes they have a good rep and are reliable
available from badger5... dealt with pagparts quietly for several years now

 

[PhilW]

Did you manage to trial the fit on the ibiza to see if it cleared the mount bill?

Not without mods Phil it looks like.. certainly on vband version GT30R

That engine mount is ripe for some steel fabrication

 

[PhilW]

What about downpipe downpipe down the passenger side bill like the Pag kits normally has it? Would the inlet clear the mount?

Thanks for the pics tho.

comp housing is bigger diameter than hotside.. no chance I see of it being anything but worse clearance to this mount.

as m0rk says tho, making another mount is very viable.
thinking something like flat to the block and L shape at the bottom with a VT type g'box stubby engine mount on the same tower.
