Eventually RCR will review every car owned by AI posters.

I tried to get in contact with him while he was in Atlanta to see if he'd like to do the Audi 90, but couldn't reach him :ohdear:

It's running a 2.6l 20V stroker and a close ratio trans from these guys http://eurospecsport.com/products/engines/5c-4v-new.htm along with an old KKK turbo with a custom made compressor stage, probably around 350hp with the current NASA spec inlet restriction. It's getting a BorgWarner EFR shortly which will drop the time to boost down to :magical: levels. I wish I had a better photo of the engine bay because the fabrication on the intercooler is completely insane, it's a crazy shape that I still can't quite wrap my head around.



Well, a PPPPPO did. After running 29 events the car changed hands a ton of times but hadn't raced since 2002. Nothing's seriously wrong with it but it'll need some work to get up to current NASA spec. At the very least it'll need a completely new DOM tube cage (currently chromoly) and it was let through tech at Sandblast just because of the race history behind the car. It was a bit of a scramble to get a new inlet restrictor machined the day before the race and at idle it was causing some nasty oil leakage from the compressor side piston rings. Since it'll be properly sized for the current level of inlet restriction, the new EFR shouldn't have any problems.

I would like to know more.

The Sandblast rally was amazing as usual, the friends I was crewing for pulled out an incredible 8th place out of 50 entrants in their second ever rally! At least three wheels are off the ground in this shot, possibly all four at one point. Despite stuff like this all I had to fix was an exhaust trying to fall off and a manifold to turbo stud backing out


:allears: That Audi.
