1983 Audi quattro-Front Suspension and Brakes
by cbrydon • November 7, 2012 • 1983 Audi ur quattro 20VT
Onward and upward. With the long block engine plans mostly sorted out and test runs done on both the block and head, it was time to move onto some other things…namely getting a chassis ready to put said engine into. Progress has been a bit slow due to other commitments and somewhat related projects,...

Audi S2 Coupe Project-Officially Up For Sale
by cbrydon • September 10, 2012 • 1991 Audi CQ S2 Conversion
Well, it has come to be the time to move the S2 project. It has been a great learning experience and a lot of fun, but we must move on to other projects now that this one is complete. Perhaps I’ll come back and visit the B3 Coupe 20VT again someday…

Reassembled the engine and got it mostly buttoned up tonight. Cleaned up the wiring some more. It is nice and tidy. Strut brace is mounted and got my timing belt cover installed this time around. I also got a bunch of OEM shrouding that goes behind the PS headlight for the airbox. It now...

I’ve had some discussion and it looks like I should be fine with the MLS, even with the deck cooling opened up to something more along the lines of the AudiSport stuff. Also discussed some highly positive real world performance benefits from the mods. So, I’m in the process of revising the design and...

by cbrydon • August 21, 2012 • 1983 Audi ur quattro 20VT
I decided to do a test run on a damaged head to keep from damaging/destroying any of my good 20V heads. I’ve scratched my head a few times trying to hypothesize the particular failure with this one. This is the head that came on the urs6 parts car that I picked up a few...

by cbrydon • August 9, 2012 • 1991 Audi CQ S2 Conversion
And a little mini update. The heat here lately (shop gets to 95F by about 2PM…100F by 5PM…back down to 95F by 9PM and done into the 80’s by midnight) has been brutal. Went from the mildest summer last year to one of the hottest on record. My reducer is for kicking paint in...

by cbrydon • August 5, 2012 • 1983 Audi ur quattro 20VT
Had a few more hours this morning to work on the URQ… I’ve decided to try deck cooling with this motor…plan is to do both the head and the block. From a heat transfer perspective, it is hard to argue the obvious benefits of getting a substantial water jacket around the upper portion of...

by cbrydon • July 22, 2012 • 1991 Audi CQ S2 Conversion
The eS2 has been taken off of the road to do a few things. First, I wanted to get the battery tray area cleaned up to finish the job and while doing that, it was a logical time to finally get the strut brace mounts installed. So, to get the access that I wanted,...
