Any ideas.............

Ok i have a 92 J Reg audi 80 E 2.0L now it has a carb on it, what i want to know is, how could i tune this up and make it quicker and sound better than it is ? :confused:

Thanx jay :D

[Niall76]

Okay, how much do you want to spend?

To make it 'sound' better I'd go for a more free flowing exhuast.

Secondly, Speak to Webber for one of their carbs. Their stuff can make a BIG diffirence, not only to the power but how it's delivered.

If this is the route you want to go down I'd also reccomend getting a tubular manifold made up to suit. This will make the most of it and again make a very noticable change.

Let us know what you do.

as niall said its all a matter of how much you wnt to spend, if you are on a budget I agree with niall, get hold of a larger bore weber carb and take it from there

[ghee60]

wait a second, carb? isnt a 2.0e audi 80 injected with 115bhp?

[Niall76]

aha!

Is he saying he's put a carb on it already?

If so what is it? We need more info young man....

wait a second, carb? isnt a 2.0e audi 80 injected with 115bhp?

Ok i have only had the car for about 5 weeks now, and to be really honest i don't know that much about the audi as this is only my second one i have owned :Blush2:, ok on the log book it down as a audi 80, as for the carb its always been on it as far as im aware :confused: anyway thanx for the feedback up to now guys:biggthump and the budget is small at the mo lol :biglaugh:

Jay

[ghee60]

ahh ok then because the "E" is injection thats what was throwing me
Youve probabaly got the 90bhp ABT engine then

[Jay121]

Arrrr right then lol, ok so how i get this sounding better and making it a bit quicker ? :biglaugh:

Jay

[Niall76]

We just told you

[ghee60]

aye that we did, bigger better carb, new exhaust and manifold

[Jay121]

Lol so u did ok thanx guys for you help i will look into it :biggthump:D

You could always try fitting a more free flow air filter and turning the fueling up a bit.........

that wouldnt be a good idea on a petrol car :biglaugh:

[Alun]

How come? If it's an older petrol engine with a Carb then surely it'll make a slight difference? I don't mean wack the fueling up to the max! Just richen the mixture slightly, and with a bit more air going in aswell...........

Obviously it'd need an uprated exhaust to get full effect, but it was just an idea!

If your audi has the horrible keihin type carb that Audi used for a long time they are crap
mind you the pierburg is not far behind in the crap stakes either!
a conversion I did on a friends 1.8s carb lhd Audi 80 1991 vintage i think
was to replace the cylinder head with a digifant gti head (c/w std cam) one after filling in the injector ports with jbwelb then smoothing them off, ported the rest of head 40thou skim ,reshaped the valves and seats and used an escort carburettor twin 38 downdraught mounted on a scirroco inlet manifold an audi 80 sport injection manifold and downpipe got rid of the cat,an ANSA performance exhaust system a K&N air filter with a ram air effect tube going to front of car for cold air
power check on a rolling road at Phoenix Green b4 work 67 BHP
(the carb was knackered!)
should have been 88 BHP
power run after resetting of carb jets by the girl at Phoenix Green 128 bhp
all figures were at flywheel after calculating trans losses
a hell of an increase but the audi head had tiny valves for the wieght of the car and the manifold were very restrictive
the only trouble you may have is with the manifold to carb matching up as not sure if the 2 ltr manifold is the same head to manifold fitting as an 1.8 or if specific to the 2.0 ltr like the injections are
Hope this is of some use to you.

oh and yes i did the brakes as well as they are worse than a mk1 gti's!
It was a big heavy car and only 12 non vented to stop with not a good recipe for fun unless you like the brown trousered type of driving!

would the head from a gti golf fit and be useable. I have fited an audi 2.0 short engine into my golf and used the gti head. Flow'd head, cam, freeflow exhaust and filter and twin 45 webbers!!! yum yum, would sound sweet
