I dont think the cooling fans staying on for an additional 10-20 seconds will help stop the turbo bearings from getting too hot. Infact most turbos dont have...

... this is where the extra brown wire #148 comes into play. there are other things beside the teperature switch that turn the fans on. i traced that circuit...
Lots to be saved! Eg. Oil filter: £12.00+ Mas supplier; £ £5.00 Vauxhall Carlton via motor factor. Timing Belt: £30.00 - Mas supplier; £13.50 - Motor...
I double checked this morning, my cooling fan comes on when I turn on the HEAT/AC or whatever and the engine is hot or cold. Obviously there is no need to have...
The radiator fans should come on when you have the A/C on. Yes it comes on even if the compressor is not operating. That's pretty typical for cars of that era....
... I could not resist researching the performance for Audi's 2.7 Biturbo (0-60 in secs) and their 4.2 (0-60 in 6.3 secs). Those performance specs makes me...
Well, you are really persistant for sure... * I double checked this morning, my cooling fan comes on when I turn on the HEAT/AC or whatever and the engine is...
This is like comparing apples to oranges. The S4 weighs 4000 lbs. What's the point? Don't try getting into a handling contest with an S4 either. Most of them...
In my opinion, those are not S4 performance figures either. That looks like performance figures from the A6, which has the option for the 2.7T and 4.2 V8, and...
I totally agree with Staatsof's statement. I own both cars: a 2000 S4 (X chipped to 350HP) and an 86 Maserati spyder. I call them the biturbo sisters... With...
... That is true. I did not consider the weight. ... Oh, no more Audi Biturbo ... I know you said your comments have nothing to do with performance, but it...
The S4 is no great handler. At least in my opionion. The post 89 Biturbo's with the new suspension setup can keep up with most modern performance cars. The cup...
Jarle, I admire your enthusiasm for the Biturbo. I also like these cars but statements like these under cut your valid points. Ok, the previous generation S4...
Go take another look at my original post on the original topic of this thread "cooling fans". That's what I was refering to. I think you introduced 0-60 times...
How's the S4 holding up to being chipped pretty high? I wouldn't compare an 86 spyder to an 85E on a performance basis. But then that's probably not why you...
Hello, I am seriously considering replacing the stock 2.8L engine and ZF gearbox (including a custom one piece driveshaft) of my '89 Zagato Spyder (16K miles...
Hello again, I bought the spyder locally in January 2000. The car had under 5K miles. Even though the engine was impeccably preserved with a teflon coat, we...
There are chips available for your 2.8 or have you already tweaked it? I'd drive a car with 2.0L 1st to see if it's worth all the effort. I don't find the...
I want a 24V 306bhp 2.0 Litre engine which can be tweaked to 340/360bhp. For keeping the revs at or above 3000, the 2.0 is the way to absolutely fly. I was...

So you're going to have them modify the engine for you? I thought they would only work on the direct ignition engines so that limits your choices. He's right,...
Just a humble Beta. But the motor only has 36000 original miles on it. I had an engine fire 14 years ago. Not real bad but all the wires were cooked as well...
Hi Bob, Jarle and I have been talking for a while about the pros and cons of modifying me engine versus replacing it with a 24V 2.0L. I really prefer small...
