One Demon Possessed 91 S4

streetfame · #1 (**permalink**) 10-11-2006, 11:18 PM

I'm back!! Several months ago i ended a thread due to repeated delays and total frustration. I ended up dumping the original parts and crew, regrouped, and am now back with a vengence

Since then i've assembled a team just as dedicated as i am to bring my spider to fruition. Not only that, but everything has gone up several notches. The beast that will be powering my spider now will be one very, very nasty..

164 based
3.7 Litre
24 Valve
V6 Monster

Here are some highlights:

Brand-new, long-stroke, 3.2 litre 156/147 GTA crank and bearings
6 indivdual throttle boddies
GoTech PRO fully-programmable, stand-alone engine management system
Ross Racing aluminium-alloy pistons...ect

That power plant will result in just over 300 HP at the wheels!!

No bulges, extra vents or flares!! Nothing to give away all that power. Mated to that beast will be the 5 speed, 105 tranny - laced up with all new internals including close ratio and lightened gears (shafts, syncros..everything new) Then finishing off with the taller rear end of the automatic spider.

All the torque is going to be incredible and avalible down low in the rev range. Therefore, major body supports will be in place to keep it straight.

Thanks to "junglejustice" aka John at Glenwood Motors out of South Africa. The time you spent on the phone with me going over all my options, quick email replys and outstanding development of my engine was second to none. Respect bro

This bad boy is slated to be completed for spring 07. There will be more mods to come and I'll be updating this thread as more work develops for all interested.

Regards,

Count me in - I've always wondered what the esteemed Mr. van Rensburg and his band of elves could bring to life given a full head of steam - now we shall see!

Still - shoulda gone w/ megasquirt. It is the paradigm of the future.

Oh well, Go-tech will work, I guess.

And that engine is SICK

How does the fire-seal work?

Randy! I still owe you a phone call - me thinks...? No? When are you coming up, or is that off now...?

Any way, learned a great myself the last few years.... It is all about processing speed! Drove 3 cars on this trip with the new 44mhz processor GoTech Pro-X box - WOW! What a difference....

It is all about processing speed - how fast can that little man inside of the ECU yell-out throttle position orders from the TPS AND, as the accelerator is depressed even more progressively, how fast can that same worker repeat updates!? Then, how fast can the other little guys passing out fuel and spark respond and as the demand from said first little guy increases progressively, how fast can they react - are they only just now passing out orders/fuel/spark in response to old requests or are they keeping up with what's happening all around them....?

Multiply those orders coming in from the Lambda, water temp, air temp, boost, rpm, load, vacuum etc and by the way - will the MS do this every .5 rpm...?

That is where the smoothness comes in. Our GTA runs as if it is the stock electronics are in there! Smooth, without a glitch and the throttle response is unbelievable... It MAKES power! Period.

Many of the other systems out there still run 4mhz, 8mhz and 16mhz processors.... What does the MS run?

MS models until recently DO NOT handle spark - only fuel - you have to run a separate ignition module - one can only attempt to compare that with a fully integrated programmable fuel AND spark stand-alone system. The differences show up in the drive...

Plus see you shame a Lambo or two...
