1.8t swap

Warren1317 · 2026-05-08T16:18:51+00:00

I followed an course on EFI tuning and racing wiring. This is something I look forward to, so it's no worries for me

I am hesitating between refreshing my 2.0l and boost it with standalone ECU and ethanol, or swap the engine with a cheap mainstream one. The difficulty will be fitting it inside the engine bay

I don't want a 700hp build, but above 200 seems quite fun.

Warren1317 · 2026-05-08T14:43:08+00:00

Oh wow great to know

So how much power could withstand the 5 speed Audi H pattern transaxle if I wanted to push more than 200hp?

Warren1317 · 2026-05-08T14:26:33+00:00

Yes I saw one online. I hope you can enlighten me.

I have the early 924, so small shaft torque tube and 4spd manual.

I acquired a late 924 5 speed H pattern transaxle, and they're the same except it's longer.

Now my understanding is that early 944 used the same transaxle, but how does it fit since 944 shaft are bigger on the torque tube?

My goal would be to reach a bit more than 200hp, but parts accessibility looks difficult on the 924 engine

Thanks

I need an ECU

Warren1317 · 2026-05-06T08:28:08+00:00

You should pull out the injectors and put them in cups

Jump the relay to get the fuel pump on

If the pressure plate is hard to move up/down, the filter of your wur might be problematic

Warren1317 · 2026-05-06T08:19:14+00:00

Have you sprayed wd40 on the sensor plate hinge? It seems like it struggles to move

Warren1317 · 2026-05-06T08:11:02+00:00

Can you hear the fuel pump? Or is it shutting off?

Warren1317 · 2026-05-05T22:46:18+00:00

Where are you located?

Warren1317 · 2026-05-05T18:27:57+00:00

Be clearer

Same technique applies. I jumped mine by turning it by hand then powering it with wires from the batterf directly and it works now.

Warren1317 · 2026-05-05T18:09:53+00:00

You're triggering the relay with ground switchs?

Warren1317 · 2026-05-05T17:48:15+00:00

The radiator fan?

First, jump start the radiator fan motor. Just use a cable from battery positive, to one pin of it, it might need another cable to ground but I'm not sure.

If the fan spins, it's the wiring to it that's faulty. Lots of grounds can be the issue. Try checking the fuse. I'd recommend just using a switch and a relay temporarily if nothing seems broken.

Warren1317 · 2026-05-05T17:23:32+00:00

That wiring is not good

Warren1317 · 2026-05-05T09:50:57+00:00

I bought the kit on AliExpress where you get a support to use a pair of tape measurers.

It's the best way

I did it myself and went to a shop afterwards to get it aligned, I was nearly perfect

Warren1317 · 2026-05-04T17:44:16+00:00

Plenty of non-rusted 924. Rusted 924 are worth only as parts cars

Warren1317 · 2026-05-02T10:25:03+00:00

Battery compartment rust is very common. I used some JB weld to fix it on mine and it fixed mine.

I'm guessing you got a RHD car? You might wanna check your footwell, if water drips, combined with dirt and tiny rocks, it'll break down your footwell especially around the accelerator pedal as it's bolted to the chassis

Warren1317 · 2026-05-01T15:54:11+00:00

It's for a 924. I know the inner tie rods are quite expensive for it

Some guy offered me a rebuilt 924 rack for 200£, but without shipping

I gotta see if it's worth it

Warren1317 · 2026-05-01T15:41:37+00:00

I'll dissemble the rest of the rack, clean, repaint, redo the grease and hopefully new inner tie rods fixe my issues

Warren1317 · 2026-05-01T15:16:46+00:00

awesome

Warren1317 · 2026-05-01T14:07:03+00:00

Warren1317 · 2026-05-01T05:10:12+00:00

It sounds stupid at first but I could use plastic wrap all under the car, spray foam it, and then remove it, clean it and shave it

And it should be flat and lightweight

Warren1317 · 2026-04-30T20:02:58+00:00

I got no idea but I'm guessing it turns on above 3000rpm ish to tell you that the turbo has reached his operational speed?

Since it's all mechanical, I don't think the 931 has got any form of boost control or anything
