Engine/tranny Question

[txrocco at sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

now that eveyone has said their peace, my turn :)

1. shortage on oil in tranny (add)
2. the 8v engine can produce ~ 130-145hp without a turbo and its got way
plenty or "pickup"

here is what I did on mine and it (being anal I replaced everything for new
parts cost ~2000$)

2.0L Audi 100 1993 Engine (3A Block), replaced rings, main/rod bearings,
piston bolts/nuts, gasket kit. now that was not bad I got a deal 300/block
and new parts I bought from germaautoparts.com , Installed Knock box and
sensor, changed the Trottle body for Audi 5000 and ported Intake myself,
changed the toilet bowl exhaust for a A1 MKI Scirocco 4-2 Maniforld with a
2-1 downpipe and swapped my exhaust from stock 1 7/8" to 2" pipping.
upgraded my 9a tranny to chromoly synchros, bolt kit and 80% LSD kit.

and between you an I... GRIN... press on the pedal, and it rivals/beats the
16v rocco's on the road with little problems.

going to get a dyno in a few weeks to get a real HP #)

=>Hey List,
=>
=>I just signed onto the list.
=>
=>My scirocco (85 8v) has been sitting in the yard for the past 4 years, as
=>I have been using other cars. I have a 93 RX-7 and an 83 Lotus Esprit.
=>
=>Now Im ready to tackle getting the scirocco restored and back on the road.
=>I miss driving it, and would like to make it my winter driver, because the
=>RX-7 slides all over the road in snow and ice, and the Esprit needs some
=>work itself.
=>
=>My main problems with my 85 are that the tranny keeps slipping out of
=>5th, and the 8v engine just doesnt cut it for the places I drive. (
=>ie...your basically taking your life in your hands trying to drive in
=>NYC without any "pickup" - completing with taxis and SUVs.
=>
=>So Id like to find out who has gotten 250hp or more out of their rocco and
=>how this can be done with another engine. Can anyone give me any ideas of
=>what can be transplanted in the car (engine + tranny combo) that will
=>fit without too much "slicing and dicing" of the car?
=>
=>Thanks for the time,
=>Ed (in NJ)
