I've Uprated the propshaft bolts. I've looked into the Cardan shaft, i got the Newer version.

Gearbox is standard with original clutches, Andy at storm developments has a 700bhp ttrs handles the power well and no clutch slip. If it need any other mods to drive train I would do them straight away.

Surprisingly the car doesn't need them. I also had a my11 Gtr awesome car, somehow the RS3 shows potential of being a baby Gtr.

Yes it doesn't handle as well and the Haldex is not that great compared to the Gtr 4x4 system but the car RS3 got aggressive power delivery at stage 2 and its small, works for me.

Have you not thought about  sport haldex controller Jay, I have one on my RS3 and make a hell of a difference when selected to race mode.

[R7jay]

I had one on my old RS3 yes was amazing but put too much strain on transfer case, then it went pop. Never had the switch so it was always in race mode.

With the gearbox remap don't really think it's required. Because of my past experience I'd rather not take the risk.

Only one day since I dropped the engine to Tim. Already stripped and off to machine shop tomorrow

Oooooo more shiney bits,

Please can I have a passenger ride once it's built ?

[R7jay]

Yes no problem

[FlyingScotsmanSK]

Hope you have more luck than I had with your re-bore dude

That doesn't sound too good what happened ?

[FlyingScotsmanSK]

New Block mate, scores on mine were too deep, cylinder #4 was rebored to 83.5mm but still had scores on the barrel.

So this injector failure has cost me a fortune like.

Had to cancel my order of oversized pistons and go with forged standard size. Total nightmare.

How come your were scored in the first place ?

[FlyingScotsmanSK]

Injector failure, blew piston, scored cylinder.

[R7jay]

My engine was working fine so rebore went as planned.

You can rebore Upto 2mm. Use wossner pistons if going standard size as they much cheaper and work great

Nice , what ecu are you going to run this build of ?

Please tel me your going to go for syvecs !!!

[R7jay]

Yes will be using the syvecs but still in final stages of development. Hopefully it will be ready in next 3 weeks.

Initially I will use standard ecu to run engine in at low boost for a thousand miles then once syvecs is ready will install it.

How did you hear about the syvecs kit

Been in a few cars that have run syvecs, it's a fantastic bit of kit with the fully tunable traction control ! Launches, antilag and flatfoot shifting makes a good car brilliant.

A must on a big power build

[Roy]

R7 How much roughly will this all cost if you dont mind me asking 

[R7jay]

around £12k

[Roy]

Bloody hell, hope all goes well mate , keep us informed of the build please
