Re: Kennys UrS4

Looks awesome buds. Did you just mask the pistons and rubber boots or did you disassemble for rebuild? Spray-on or brush on paint?

Re: Kennys UrS4

You're a better man then me! I rebuilt my calipers but i plan on running them as is. They could use a coat of paint but i figure they aren't terrible so it can always be done later. My rears however desperately could do with caliper paint.

I picked up a set of Akebono Euro ceramic pads. Curious to ...

Good tip! Definitely a cheaper option than the 034 part and more readily available.

Re: Tarpan's 1996 Audi UrS6 - Suspension done. What's next?

I'll be jumping on those flanges shortly.

Any of you have experience with the Aeroquip socketless stuff? They show they are well rated for most pressure applications. They might be a decent option versus making AN ended hoses. Easier to make in any case. Would probably add some Oetiker clamps for ...

Re: Tarpan's 1996 Audi UrS6 - Suspension done. What's next?

Where did you source your flanges for the custom line Kenny? I'm hoping to custom make the oil feed and drain.

I used to own the setup Kenny has, the adaptors were 034 motorsports parts. I dont think they sell the adaptors anymore. The 034 part was an all in one machined piece. The feed hose was ...

Re: Tarpan's 1996 Audi UrS6 - Suspension done. What's next?

For the 7400 in my urs4 I used a braided steel oil supply and the factory coolant lines. I had the same issue as above with the drain line interference with the vband connection.
You could have the pipe welded (no more vband) or do some strategic clearance work to make it fit.

Starting to plan my work for when I get back home from sea.

I know the Volvo K24-7400 can use the stock oil and coolant lines. My stock lines aren't leaking. I've seen some folks have converted to AN fittings and SS braid hoses. Any BTDTs or tips for doing this? Looks worth it I think.

Re: Tarpan's 1996 Audi UrS6 - Suspension done. What's next?

Regarding the RMS, I believe the 1.8t part is a nice upgrade and not expensive either.

I'd look at doing the pilot/throw out bearing because it's a huge pain in the ass going back in just for that.

I'll look into that 1.8T part you mention. I know there are two styles of rear main seals, old and ...

He recommended the South Bend Stage 3 Daily kit. It should be able to easily handle the modest ...

Good to know. EFI Express has a good run of Southbend clutches. Looking at the Stage 2 Endurance potentially. Ticks the boxes you mentioned.

Quick update. All new clutch hydraulic parts did not solve the problem. Looks like I'll be dropping the tranny after all. Ugh.

Looking for suggestions for a good clutch kit for my Volvo turbo setup.

Re: Part number for Bosch W/B O2 Sensor with VEMS PnP?

the connectors are different between 4.2 and 4.9

I personally prefer the 4.2. I've tested both extensively and find the 4.2 to be tougher in the long run while providing nearly the same response time. the 4.9 is marginally faster response, yes.

for a 4.2 I use bosch 17014. 4.9 is harder to get at ...
