Hi All
I have been building this S1 Project for some time now and I thought you might like to follow its progress. I come to England in 2000 and my first customer I went to see was Keith Murray from Dialynx Performance. Then after him letting me have a drive of his 700hp hill climb car I was hooked! I had to have my own.

So I wanted to build some thing fast!! So it’s going to be an Audi S1 with a V8 twin turbo.

If you know the car please don't post any pics as I want to show you why it has taken 7 years to make LOL

 

[Dave Rowe]

Going to use the Audi 3.6L PT engine, its going to have some Garrett GT28 turbos, dry sump system, custom inlet manifold including two injectors per cyl and drive by wire throttle

 

[Dave Rowe]

Fitting the engine was easy when there is nothing to get in the way!

 

[Dave Rowe]

Exhaust's are all made in 321 stainless steel and the collector to the turbo is from burns

Headers are all made to be with in one inch of each other

 

[Dave Rowe]

Exhausts will exit out the sides of the car and I also want a flat floor on the car so its going to be hot in the car!!

Another Audi build, keep it coming:naughty:

 

[Dave Rowe]

Rear Suspension being made, Arms are from an early F1 and the hubs are custom to hold the Audi hubs and drive shalf's. There are plenty of adjustments for camber, caster and toe

 

[Dave Rowe]

Dampers are 150mm travel connected via bell cranks with needle rollers for less resistance. Once through the bell cranks it makes for 100mm wheel travel and 150mm shock travel.

The diff is made to slip out the side of the chassis by removing the rear mount if it ever breaks LOL

 

[Dave Rowe]

Some thing to crunch the gears with!! I had to change this to allow the gate to work correctly. It allows the reverse gear to be locked out also. Had to change the cables to suit the new position in the car also had to change the connections on the gear box to allow the fitment of the cables also. Looks good and I hope it works okay?

 

[Dave Rowe]

Brakes are all Brembo units 4 piston all round as I wanted to have big units on the rear as 4wd car can use this to help the total braking force of the car! Rear rotors are 305mm and the front are 355mm units all to go over 16 inch wheels. Just because that’s the most common size for Avon Slicks

 

[Dave Rowe]

Panels next! Going to use carbon Kevlar and some glass fibre also. What a messy job but Keith was happy to help me out making these down at his place.

 

[Dave Rowe]

Front Dampers are from DMS and are double adjustable with adjustable ride height and camber and caster also

 

[Dave Rowe]

Seat mounts done! As there is also one for a passenger also! Got to share the Quattro experience

 

[Dave Rowe]

Inlet manifold is a work of art! as it was made by Dacar Motorsport in Brazil. The two halfs are made from a solid block of Alloy.

Inside the manifold it also has ram tubes for the inlet runners, two injectors per cyl and it also uses a 85mm Drive By Wire Throttle also

 

[Dave Rowe]

New fuel rails being made! As I stock these in 1 meter lengths I also have the profile drill for the two injector sizes 14mm and 11mm

Ends are going to be -8 inlets and -6 returns

I also have an injector flow tester and cleaner from ASNU so all injectors where cleaned before fitting into the manifold. Injectors are going to be 1000cc each so 2000cc per cyl

 

[Dave Rowe]

Fuel Pressure Regulator, I am going to use 3.0bar fuel pressure as this gave the best atomisation of the fuel at this pressure. Used a high speed camera to check the pattern's at different pressures.

Also I am going to add a fuel pressure sensor and fuel temp sensor to the spare plugs on the regulator

 

[Dave Rowe]

The dry sump system is a load of work to add but as the car will be under high G forces it best to invest the ££ in a good system other wise you will smash the engine up in no time with oil surge problems!

The pump is from Peterson and it’s a 3 stage unit

The sump has a V added to it and also two hoses back to the pump, also the Turbo drains go back to the new sump also.

 

[Dave Rowe]

Steering the beast, Got many options for buttons some are for changing the dash pages, Launch Control, Boost control and a lap marker for the GPS.

 

[Dave Rowe]

Rear anti roll bar jsut need to make the links to the bell cranks

 

[Dave Rowe]

The sump was welded my my good friend Jon Webster

the two fittings at the front are the drains for the turbos and the others are to the oil pump.
