4 Small very high velocity fans (great for intercoolers)

enough to qualify for 'in need of professional help' status

90 90q20v (going up for sale soon, I think)
90 CQ (the v8 project)
93 S4 (the new rig, going to replace the 90q20v for winter duties)
95.5 S6 Avant (daily driver)

Its _really_ hard to justify a need for them all, 3 is the magic number.

dont forget your 'intercooler sprayer' that looks suspiciously like an insecticide sprayer (I took a pic, but my memory card trashed that one for some reason :()

Bumping this one...

So when you are using wasted spark, do you still need the cranc pully combo?

I have an early AAN, where the hall sensor (?) is in the "dizzy" box or what you call the distributor position used in the 3B. Are there any differences in how the IIc should be connected to this engine compared to the later AAN engines?

Regards, Johan

IIC ECU
Crank pully combo (034)
1,8 T temp sensor (034)
VR extension cable
Cables for connecting the IIC to the Motronic harness
JPT55 connector
Epoxy for filling the connector

Did I miss any important sensors or items that would be nice/necessary to have?


034 flying lead harness (which is usally included with the ECU)

Have you lost any features from the original car from the IIC upgrade? I konw knock sensors are not in use, bur what about AC, instrument cluster?


I dont get an 'idle up' when the AC is on so it idles a little rough running the air conditioning but thats about it. instrument cluster still works, etc.

yes, you need a 60-2 wheel on the crank pulley for this system to work.

nope. I am currently not using the cam position sensor at all.

yep, more boost. I'll be going back on the dyno in a few weeks to help Brian Weldon (SpoolinS6) tune his car. After we finish with his car I'm hoping to bring boost up closer to 28-29 psi.

So lil update here..

I blew out my heater core on the highway last week and was just finishing up the job today. Filled up the car with coolant, and added more, and more, and more.. just kept going down.

I'm thinking to myself, man, that heater core holds some volume! Then reality started checking in, hmm, wasn't the car running on 4 cylinders when I went to wheel it into the garage for the heater core R&R?

Started pulling plugs. Doh! :frustrated:

Image


Makes sense now, the heater core blew out BECAUSE of a blown head gasket.

time to order up some parts, J-man, expect an email in a bit..
