Eurotrash Motorsports - Audi A4 TDiQ - IHI RHC6?
Hello folks...
I've been following some of the discussions on this site for a while and it's time I introduced myself and the project I'm starting...
I've been a VW/Audi fan for a long time - started off with my dad's 1984 1.6D (if I remember correctly) back in Europe...I've recently built a few 1.8Ts and got into the 5cyl Audi engines as well. I just came back from Targa Newfoundland where I crashed and raced (yes in that order) my european 1993 Audi 80 Avant with a 2.2T quattro conversion...
Video of the crash:

Full build:

Anyways - now on to the reason for why I'm posting here...
A year or so ago I got my hands on a 'totalled' 2001 A4 - the previous owner was unfortunate enough to hit a deer on the hwy - although there was zero damage to the rest of the car, he nicked the timing belt under the hood and smoked the engine...the shell is like new otherwise so I picked it up with the idea of building a 1.8T and getting it back on the road...
However - I've always wanted to build a diesel engine - one can only keep learning by trying out new things. I've already done a 1.8T and so have tons of other people. It's time to do something a little more unique. I am also planning on returning to Targa and collecting more than my finisher's medallion the next time around.
So the project:
Audi A4 TDi quattro OPRC-CRC (Ontario Performance Rally Championship -Canadian Rally Championship) / Targa rally car...
the car is getting caged this week and the build will finally begin...the major part of the project is already decided on / finalized...the engine is the big question mark...I have also been approached by one of my partners looking for a race developed diesel engine for their 2014 Dakar entry...the company is interested in using the quattro driveline and a TDi engine and build a dedicated vehicle around it...
so - to put some numbers out there I'm going to try and build a 200hp / 350ftlbs of torque 1.9/2.0 TDi engine that will be mated to the A4 quattro...from what I've read on here such numbers can be easily obtained...
the build will of course see the engine build from scratch - forged pistons and rods, ARP studs, complete head rebuild etc...
I've gone over the FAQs a number of times but it's always easier to get people's opinions first hand so let's hear it - engine choice, list of mods, preferred suppliers, tuning etc?
The time line looks like this:
2011 - cage / driveline / suspension / brakes
2012 - engine / OPRC (CRC)
2013 - Targa Newfoundland / Pike's Peak hill climb
stay tuned...
