Always fun to poke around a car that is VERY new to you. Parts can be tricky to find, but immersing yourself with the community will pay dividends. A lot of people out there to help and who are happy to see one of these live on!
Mate you need to watch broken Quattros channel he’s got lots of parts for your car. He’s a fellow TH-cam in the USA like you. Love the car I have one in the uk. You need euro front and rear bumper if you can get them will make the car look awesome.
So much nostalgia!! My first car was a clapped out '94 audi 90cs quattro sport 12valve v6. Oh how many hours I spent dreaming of a 5cyl turbo swap... I can't wait to see what you do with this one!
Jake, The Audi (probably) has twin radiators. My dad had an 1984 Audi 100(5000?) 5 cylinder diesel, and it had twin radiators. This engine layout and the ancillaries look very similar.
I may be able to help with the loss or power. I have a B2 Coupe GT 2.3 over in WA and during season changes It would start first crank always, but would not want to rev past 4k and would backfire obnoxiously. Check the Knock sensor for corrosion or rust, that was the problem with mine when it seemed to go into a limp mode. Swapped it with a junkyard VW sensor that had the same plug and problem solved. The Road salt just tears them up and they're located kind of in a vulnerable spot. Hope that helps!
Trust me man, that thing will rip like nothing you've driven. In my experience the drivetrain in these things is rock solid and you wont be ordering anything major to keep that 5 cyl happy and healthy. Please don't 1.8t swap it, if anything, turbo it.
Check in the right of the glowbox my son buy a 1985 b2 coupe gt and the computer was there ... And now we are wating for new fuel sistem because the kjtronic goes bad
You should be able to use a mk1 shifter base as a cheap upgrade and to help the slop . All you'll need other than the part is two beer bottle caps lol. I have done it on my old b4 and was so damn nice and super cheap
Hot start problems are usually fuel pumps. Right? Make sure to get a Bentley repair manual if they have one. I would start by checking fuel pressures during cold and warm. I’m pretty sure these cars are pretty similar to the 90-92 16v cis-motronic Edit: nope. Fuel system not similar at all lol
Euro models Came with 2.3 5 cylinder NG motor 2.6 V6 and 2.8v Te cheaperst vesion was 2.0 ABK model with 4 cylinder inline. The last engine was similar to golf GTI endine but it was mounted perpendicular and the engine block was taller. I have two Cabio 2.3 NG and 2.0 ABK very nice cars
Been looking to add one of these to my vag classics- to be honest just my opinion you was better off spending a bit more for a good body and interior. - you can get a nice 20 v 5 cylinder in the Uk for 5k with under 100 k miles in good condition
I just looked back at my photos and you will also need to make a plate to go under the base . Still very simple and cheap . If you need photos or insight let me know . I'm @vwarmy on Instagram . Have had quite a few b2/b3/b4 audis in the past and know lots about them. Was also an Audi dealer tech for 10 years so very Familiar with everything Audi

Thanks for the kind words!
I will be following this entire build brother!! I can't wait to see every single details, touch up and hack you do with this thing!

The want for one is real😭 along side my mk2 scirocco
I live in Portland, OR and we have one on picknpull But I'm not sure if it's still there from bomber.

Mk3 golf/gti/jetta front seats fit. I suggest finding euro recaros from a 2 door
Dude hell yes.
Kinda weird setup for me as an MKII guy, but very interesting :D I totally understand you.

those wheels look 90's. i like the white
Euro bumpers are pretty rad, if you havent checked them out
Gotta love a 20v... I'd love to own an s2, I always liked them. Cool little project you picked up there 😉👍
Change the fuel filter, my GTi will do a similar thing when at temp. Its probably getting plugged by old dirt and gas.
thanks
Jake maby european style front bumper headlights etc.
please do not swap to the 1.8t keep that engine just upgrade the system around it.
Congrats!

O ok. Thanks for the info
Link up with @malakamotorsports.
Vr swap it
I feel like a 07k swap would be pretty proper for one of those.

If you swap out the 5 cylinder to a 4 cylinder is it still a Quattro? Haha
lol no plans to swap anytime soon. Still a lot to learn.
I think you should just sell me the car. I have everything for that car. If you don't want to sell, then there are lots of enthusiasts with parts.
