EvilEvo’s Audi S4 Build Thread
I had oil problems with my car after hybrid RS6ss were on the car. And as such, i spun a bearing on cyl6. This than prompted me to rebuild the motor.

Cleaning up the upper oil pan, getting it ready to be installed. That is LowFlyer
Cleaning up the lower oil pan. And other parts layed out.
Whole big pile of parts. How i got everything back from DTM.
Got the upper pan on and sealed up
Lower pan on and all sealed up
Starting to put the spark plugs in and getting the rest of the stuff ready.
Flywheel/Clutch/Trans are getting bolted on this week. Had some setbacks with missing flywheel bolts.
Cant wait to get the kit tomorrow and start installing everything back in the car! It has been down way to long(10 Months) and I am very excited to see everything so close to coming together again. Huge thanks to Markku and Agtronic for spending the extra time when needed to get the kit done by when they said.
Here are some pics from today.Rear Main Seal on
A NICE!!
Flywheel on
Clutch on
Have to grind away for clearance
Grinded away
Motor and trans together
Test fitting the turbo
Grinding away another stupid piece for clearance
Mounted up and hooking up all the oil and coolant lines
This is part of the line we made.
You can see the line here. We got heat shielding covers for the lines.
With the motor mount on.
Heat wrapped the downpipes
We got all the accessories on, timing belt covers, pulleys and tensioner for the serpentine belt on. Need to look up the routing for the serpentine belt and than put than on.
Still need to get some couplers for the stock Charge piping off the turbos to mate up to the GTs and get a gasket for the stock oil cooler. But besides that stuff, we are pretty much ready to drop the motor back in the car and start hooking up all the other small stuff!
To replace my worn one.
I want to wire up the switchs to control my radio volume and track.Also got a new headlight switch assembly to replace mine, my cruise control doesnt work and throws an intermittent implausible signal error whenever i try and use it.
All my oil cooler stuff came in also.
I am using an Earls core, still waiting on my sandwhich plate adapter from 034 though
Looks like this!
Now I just need lines and rails and FPR. And of course the crazy expensive fittings, lol
Obviously the first clutch disc is supposed to have splines like the one behind it. Not sure why this happened. This clutch is rated for a LOT more power than I am making.
I have never launched the car and have only banged second gear hard like once, but either way this clutch should be able to hold that.
