Hi there, i'm going to be starting a restoration thread within the next month on an A reg B2 Quattro.
I was hoping someone could recommend either a good tuner, or what I can do to get the car running at optimum power (cams...etc). I'm rebuilding the car the the ground up for hill climb, budget for the engine is circa 1000-2000. |

Keeping stock KV lump I'd suggest ditching the k-jet and going for stand alone management, you'll need an EFi conversion kit to do this (fuel rail, electronic injectors).
The cam will aid performance further up but remember with hillclimbing you want low down power too.... Torque will be your friend here.... Sadly budgets limiting on what you can achieve, but my suggestion would be tubular equal length exhaust manifold and ITB's with long runners and 45mm intakes. This will give good torque and i'd hazard a guess mixed with EFi push the engines potential alot higher. Be wary of heatsoak though as its not a crossflow engine so i'd suggest a heatshield between exhaust and intake runners and a good cold air feed from inner wing... As a guess: EFi conversion - £700+ ITBs - £600 ( Colin satchell down in devon is the man for this task) Shrick cam - £350 Thats £1700 or thereabouts.... The head porting will help abit but again be very careful with this.

Who would I buy the EFi kit off, or would I have to get the parts from anothermodel, if so, which model is best to pilfer them from?
Also, wholm can I get an equal length exhaust manifold from? |

EFi could be a number of outlets.... 034 motorsports in the states do kits, Emerald is a major UK supplier and the benefit of dave walker being a tuning mapping god also helps but its pricey... I know alot of people running cars on emerald though and they can vouch its worth the money...
http://www.emeraldm3d.com/ Tubular manifold hasnt been done afaik... Its a case of getting a design done that fits in the space... I have considered this on my car but again its not really been tested on CQs so alot of design work will be needed. Befriend someone with mandrel bender and a few free hours...

Can you link me to the Kit I need to convert from K-Jet to EFi?
The tubular manifold sounds OTT if it isn't available off the shelf, still... I do like welding |
