i like that wouldnt expect that power from it if saw it on the road bet surprises a few

 

what has he done to the 4x4 system?
i been getting a lift to work in one of these, nice car but needed more power and a better radio.

 

Epic sleeper!

 

The Quattro system is a very strong unit
If driven right that will be all good

 

Just a performance Haldex ecu i think

 

Really, I was always under the impression it was not the best. Does it deal with launches etc?

How much cash went into the engine to get that kind of power?

Interested to know as these are a bargain at the moment

 

What a sleeper love it

 

500bhp and still running a maf? And a tiny weenie halfords air filter behind the battery ?

Was under the impression most go maf less above 350 bhp and almost all big power cars run direct cold air feeds to the filter and fuck the battery of to the boot.

Looks tidy mind. My little ibiza is Anough to shit up a std evo amd that's only 210-220 ish bhp

 

About time it was built, its taken him forever
Whens Andy breaking it?

 

Just asked Andrew some things

launches are fine but its kill the clutches fast

Engine cost about Ł7k and was built by Andrew

Yes you can run over 500 with a maf as long as you ditch the S3 one and fit a massive one from a RS4 and calibrate it in the mapping. Also he said thats not a Halfords air filter its a Blitz filter from a RX7. Cold air feed will be made up later.

 

Its been 3 years in the making

I know Andrew was a Orion owner at one point and he never regrets breaking it, he was happy to see the rust bucket go.

 

Looks wicked ..!

 

Went for a spin in it today

My god that think shifts. Went on to a "closed" motorway doing 70 mph he said "are you ready" I said "yes" and then the next thing i know we are doing 140 mph and still pulling really strong. He did one run and it went off the clock !! ( 170 mph clock speed ).

He also put it up agents a local R8 and it lost, Andrew said he knows the guy and he keeps trying to race him with little success

 

Andrew is the guy behind - http://www.aldevelopments.com/index.php which some of you may have heard of or used before

 

this car was mapped by rick off here last month ,i done the high boost top end driving for the mapping.

and it defo 500+ hp

 

Andrew was telling me that you managed a 162 mph in 5th in it

 

Wow what an animal.

 

Your not joking as Andrew had it spinning all four at about 70mph when he hit a bit of damp road, roads had been gritted also so that didn't help.

I bet it could hit 190 mph on a long ish road

 

I really want to gt28 my ibiza but would be better selling it amd buying one done.

 

Andrew said he wants to break the 600 bhp mark if he can

 

Fucking awesome! Loving this

 

Andrew did some major damage to the engine recently after a cam shaft snapping



But its on the mend now with even more modifications

Andrew was maxing out the 870cc fuel injectors at 94% so he is putting 1600cc ones in


Another large port AEB head was found and ported by Andrew and flow tested after





When stripped the oil pump gear bolt had worked it was loose even with the Audi torque spec and loctite 641 bearing fit ( super strong ) so he welded it in place as well as the triger wheel bolts



He also made a baffled sump after worrying about the g forces this car makes


Andrew made a custom breather system


Another problem Andrew found is the flywheel bolts are a weak spot so its been double doweled and ARP bolts fitted



A new block thats been bored out fitted with race bearing and more ARP bolts


Engine built and ready to be fitted

 

top stuff

 

Will you be helping rick with the mapping again Gary lol

 

Is this ALD Andrew? Makes stuff for RS 2000s?

 

amazing engines these 5v engines

 

Lovely work mate

 

It is Andrew's, He's don't doing that much for RS2000 now buts is doing loads of stuff for S3/TT's 1.8T engines, Loads of stuff for old school Fiestas and loads of other makes and models now. He does loads of head work now also, He borrows a flow bench to help develop his work and is trying to get his own.

 

My zetec head should be coming back from Andrew tomorrow so I'm all excited

 

Andrew did my head and when fitted it just wanted to rev its nuts off

He also did Clarke5700 head on his old engine

 

I like the sound of that
I received it back today & I must say it looks awesome

 

Could you ask your mate if he could do me a head job on a vr6 12v please buddy and how much etc

 

Does Andrew own this Very nice car.

 

He and has been specced for 650 bhp
