As of current all the new engine parts are now ready to go for assembly. The block has been bored and honed to fit the JE pistons. Integrated engineering rods and pins, factory seal set and bearings. Started chopping up the 3" mandrel bends and fabricating an exhaust system from the back of the car forward staring with the muffler and hangers; all 304 stainless. Im building everything on this car to take a beating at the track and hold up. Next step is to assemble the motor and get it to start it on the factory ecu to ensure everything works as it should prior to using a different ecu. This way we limit the amount of variables changed all at once, and it makes for easier trouble shooting. After that I will wire the megasquirt ecu into the factory harness and begin the tuning process.
The plan is to push the motor to in the neighborhood of 10k rpms with full boost hitting ~30 psi once the engine is finished the task of clutch fitment and transmission reliabilty will be tackled.

for updated pictures until I have time to make a permanent post in the engine build section.

About This Blog
I created this page to document and share one of my largest projects to date as well as some general knowledge of forced induction techniques. The entry's are (mostly) setup in chronological order. The information I deemed important to include are issues not often addressed when modifying fuel injected vehicles.
It all started with an 1996 Audi A4 Quattro. I got the car around the time high school ended in exchange for a scholarship I earned for college. The car was a school teachers before me, it was an automatic 4 door with a beige interior, crayons in the back floor board and nail polish spilled in the glove box.
Despite the mundane nature of the beast it did have some nice lines and was a color that Audi of America called "Laser Red". The modifying bug bit and the planning started.
