Very cool project!

How do you access AC diagnostics on early 86 5ktq Avant?

Hi All,

I just bought an early 1986 Audi 5000 CD quattro Avant from Martin Pajak. Its job is to replace my 4kq which lost its floor almost completely through vicious rusting of a repair. Must have been bad steel... And to replace to 91 200 20V Avant which suffered an engine fire, and which the ...

Could also be overboost cut.

Why do you say that this is different from a fuel cut? What's not the same?

Don't forget the tune when preparing your budget! And what should go with it, like EGT monitoring, knock listening, etc.

And, so far, with the exception of mentioning the flywheel and clutch, you're spec'ing out engine parts in boxes that when correctly assembled will make a 1200-1300chp engine on ...

Re: Dan's 4000CS Quattro 20vt Turbo Swap

I think you'll find that the short gears will be annoying when you have all the extra grunt of the 20vt.So 200 gearing would be better... But you'd have to swap the rear diff for a 3.89:1 diff as well. And the only one out there (that should fit) is the urq's.

So, what some do instead is change ...

Just to confirm, what MAP sensor is in the ECU?

When live map tracing, what cells do a WOT pull with decent loading go through on this map, at what boost levels?

Re: Strange engine failure (not my car for once!)

Why does the load axis only go to 206kpa? A stock urs6 will pass that. You sure that's the right map?

Nonetheless, I'm also in the "something external caused this" camp. Bad fuel, unregulated overboost, not enough fuel, etc...

Re: Odd boost/fuel problem on a "customer" car

Hmm, that's weird. I'd have thought that with a cranked down 33mm wastegate and a 30R would be a recipe for boost creep, yet you're losing boost.

Check your battery voltage too.

You shouldn't be disapointed in the VEMS. Sure it has some quirks, but so do most systems, including stock ECUs.

I don't understand what you mean when you say "when i lower the TDC after trigger it seems to advance timing and rev faster but i know its off the mapping at that point." If it runs ...

These coils, though awesome, with or without ignitor built in, are not recommended by other vendors for use in distributor setups.

I have a 4kq running on MS1 (on MSnS) but it's a JT, so no boost. However, if you're running low boost, you _cooouuuulld_ do what I did, and run it off a 5 window distributor. Timing accuracy will suffer, but shouldn't be fatal!!

Re: Velocity Stack

If you leave the plastic or mesh grilles on the MAF and let them do do their job (they're called flow straighteners), this problem should diminish if not disappear completely.

This assumes that you have dialed in your MAF curve (voltage to mass flow) and that your injector data (flow and dead time ...
