The Luxury of AWD - B5 A4 1.8t fun-time.

Very clean, I like it.

do you do all your work in your garage/drive way or do you have a lift?

no lift here, everything that matters is on jack stands in the garage.

:TUP:

props! I wish I had half the knowledge you do… eh, i’m learning!

if i flew there fo free maybe i’d go. i’m not torturing my poor car in NJ ever ever again.

but alas we all know bad things happen when i come to WF. have fun though.

Dood, you’re my audi idol :tup:

When is waterfest? NJ is mad close to me, people can roadtrip to my place and I’ll drive in if you want.

July 19/20? somethign like that…

The evo?

Well, finished up the wiring for all the cluster stuff completely removing the stock ecu, pulled out the original engine, and snagged myself a columnpod(god i hate columnpods). Oh well.

I’m sorry there’s not a lot of “flashy” stuff yet, just ordered all my hard parts today.

What’s left of the OEM wiring harness:

All the OEM wiring cut, and necessary stuff spliced back in(not cleaned up yet, pipe down) - not trimming down useless pigtails till it runs and I KNOW nothings wrong…

And cover closed, autronic installed in this pic.

And my gay columnpod:

PS all the gauges work! and NO check engine, nor warning lights!!! That made me happy.

Oh brian.

Your builds are so dreamy.

Oh brian.

I love your stroker. :wink:

Nice progress :tup:

Love the car.

Looks great, like you actually know what your doing, but have fun with the audi tax!

You’re gonna love that front end… and wheel bearings, and power steering rack, and random other quirks.

Whats your HP/TQ goals?

Lol, I’m not susceptible to audi tax. I get cost on all my parts luckily :slight_smile:

HP/TQ will be about 700awhp and 500awtq on race gas, and 500awhp on pump. Entirely doable on the current setup from the jetta w/a bit larger compressor wheel.

Considered meth?

Be a meth addict like the rest of the Audi community

no, there’s no need for meth. I’m a simplicity kind of person. 93 oct, and C16 are my only “additives”. I’ve done plenty of meth kits on mine and others cars, and have ultimately decided that I’m not a fan.

omg dark pics of wires!!! leghump

what happened to our idea/remedy for this?

how are you runnin autronic and not throwing codes/engine lights?Will this pass obd 2 scan?

Because there’s no stock ecu to throw a code, and all the engine sensors that run to the cluster(oil pressure, coolant level, coolant temp, oil temp, rpm, speedo, starter trigger and alternator exciter) are wired directly in, no longer running through the ECU.

And no, there’s no way it will pass obd2 :slight_smile:
