An Iroz Coupe Gtdi

[Wheeljack]

As much as I am a fan of quattro, I have to believe FWD really makes sense given your location and goals for the car. No need for unnecessary drivetrain losses when mpg's are a priority.

That said, there is a '95 90 sedan up here in SLC waiting for you...http://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/373056?ad_cid=1

Hey don't you have a mill to put together? I liked your first paragraph though as far as goals and I really need to avoid scope creep!. That said, I still looked and let out a sigh of relief coupled with disappointment when I went to full specs and read drivetrain.......FWD Too bad, it was even silver like any good German car ought to be.

Just looked up the curb weight on AudiWorld and it list the following for the 86 coupe gt

Curb Weight: 2507 lbs.
Drag coefficient: 0.39
Fuel Economy
City: 19 mpg (18 auto)
Highway: 25 mpg (23 auto)
Combined: n/a

2500 lbs sounds like a TDI version could be around 2550lbs. 200hp will motivate that car nicely, and I bet it gets 50mpg if you can keep it at 75 with a .56 6th gear. .39 C/D is the opposite of good!! Maybe we do some aero mods

That probably wasn't an A/C equipt car, but still 2500lbs is pretty good. It's hard to believe that Audi was the same manufacturer of the 5ktq that year with a drag coeficient of .31. That is where this project could do better, but if speeds are kept below 80mph it still should do pretty well out on the highway. I have been getting about 27mpg with the last four or five tanks commuting it to work so that sounds about right for a manual. I see you already are bumping my 170hp goals up a bit. I'm sure you still think that compressor wheel looks tiny, huh?

I don't think the USA got AC delete in 86. I bet that figure is including A/C. The Audi brochure lists the 86 as having Air as standard equptment. It would be interesting what you could do with 3.70s with a .56 6th on gas.
