audi 80 sport

[jc denton]

Hello everyone, I have a 1994 audi 80 sport 2.0L 8v (ABK). What can I do to increase the power?

I've already changed the engine (due to catastrophic failer of the last one ) so I don't want to do an engine swap. I would greatly appretiate any details for making the 2.0L 8v better.

I've decated it, I've put on an induction kit with a cold air feed & heat shielded the exaust manifold.

What ells can I do ( on the cheap! ).

Hi there and may I wish you a warm welcome to TorqueCars, it is a pleasure to meet you.

Feel free to get involved in our other threads, all opinions are welcome and as they say "the more the merrier"!

Sadly more power doesn't come cheap, you really do get what you pay for...

The best mods for a car engine are as follows.
Internal work yields the biggest gains, head work like porting polishing and 3 angle valve jobs will maximise the airflow and raise the power.

If you want to go to the max then cryo treat the block, get it rebored and look into blueprinting and balancing as well.

Bigger valves are an obvious addon but not all engines are suitable as it depends how close together the OEM valves are.

A fast road cam will yield good power gains, especially in the top end of the rev range. Don't go mad though a profile of up to 270 degrees will give the best gains without the engine becoming cammy.

The most popular power mods are induction kits (which are questionable as power mods but they can sound nice if that is your sort of thing) and sports exhausts with sports catalysts or decats.

To keep the car legal I'd recommend a sports catalyst rather than a decat.
The last mod should always be a remap as this will allow you to fully realise the power gains on offer from your mods.

It's worth having a read of the articles on www.torquecars.com/tuning/ for more information on these mods and what the terms mean.

for got to add i believe kent cams will re-grind your existing cam shaft for about £100 not much of a power gain but i love the sound of cam'd cars
