I think that you are talking about gearboxes from an FWD car that is from a newer Audi that is probebly alot weaker. And Mikael and Grey are talking about an Audi gearbox from a Audi quattro. Gearboxes from the quattro versions is very common on rearmounted midengine builds.

Thats right, older is better!

There is actually a FWD gearbox for the 5-cylinder turbo, Audi 200, but the quattro model is probably easier to find. And cheeper to!

I've be asking a few companies on quotes for drive box, just incase you dont know what type of racing my car does its called autograss, and a lot of people use drive box's single ratio. 1 gear.

have a look online, youtube, autograss, mine is class 7, £900 for a drive box was the cheapest.

If any who reads this has time to have a look, could you advise me on the best ratio to use.

grey, just had a look online

Yepp, looks like it. That one is a gem, totally rebuilt for more than 3 times the price he is selling it for. I would say it's a bargain!

Im wanting to use solid steel fuel lines does it need to be any special type of steel or can i just use normal steel tube?

Normal steel rusts.

Copper only for gasoline. Does not work with ethanol.

Aluminum and stainleess for gasoline and ethanol.

Why make it so hard ? Rust may be some problem with mild steel.

what do you mean Henrik? and i dont mind using ally sounds better to me

soooooooooooooooo happy today, was a nice sunny day here in usually not so sunny england lol,

managed to primer and paint (bright!! orange) my mini, all the prep work payed off, going to spray the roof white tomorrow then got to do the inside. its all paid off so far.

hi all again, my car did get paint orange and white, got an engine back in, im still ummm and arrrrring, the big audi 2.2 gearbox is good but you need the space, and basically the gearbox inline with the wheels, so im still wanting a transverse gearbox really, i was thinking 1.8t but what could i do to make it take more than 400bhp? and this link below is a drag car for sale, it uses a b16 gearbox honda and i was wondering if you could reweld something like that? i looked at some prices for what the guy did and seems fairly inexpensive.

thanks all have a good day.

Hi again guys, could you tell me where you guys get all you tubing to make your manifolds and downpipes. I've seen pictures you get big bags on bent pipe. where from and how much? its really expensive in england that all so how much do you guys pay in sweden?

Local car part dealer sell exhaust pipes at UK too, right?
Not very expencive, about £200 for a complete dp and piping for the whole exhaust.
About £200 material for a complete intake with flanges, funnel and plenum (made of exhaust pipes).

For the headers i buy it from plumbing dealers.
Flanges is at the local speed shop!

Here in sweden there is a lot of used turbocharges circulation the second hand market

Andrew skrev:

I often use around 56mm inlet and 65mm out for my cologne turbos

Nothing new except that i got alot of work to do with the fusion engine (4 litre bottom and 24v cossie heads). I got a few more engines to get parts from but its a heavy work ahead to get it done. Some day maybe...

thanks for info, been working on my cars hence no reply sooner,

shame about the supercharged project you should just try bolting one onto a 12v or 24v see how they cope.

ive got a question though how do you all control your boost? you never say in your blogs.

thanks
