Audi 80 3A engine Estas cam?!

Post by piglett »

Hello!

I own a 1990 Audi 80 B3 Quattro with a 3A engine 2.0 8V.
I'm currently in the process of restoring it. The engine is close to firing up with a megasquirt ecu.
Current mods to the engine:
- stock low end;
- ported and polished 1,6 ADA head( identical to the 3A);
- matched exhaust and intake ports;
- head skimmed 1mm for 11.8:1 CR;
- a 270 degree camshaft with vernier from RSR Performance Link;
- Audi S6 323cc/min injectors;
- ported throttle body;
- ADA exhaust manifold.
The entire exhaust is 56mm tubing, stock middle and final boxes.

I keep reading thru this forum about the Estas camshafts. Mainly the 282 and 288 degree ones.
Where can i buy a used one with shipping to Romania?
What do you guys think in terms of HP with my setup?

Thank you!
I fired up my engine yesterday. Lots of tuning to attend to on the KDFI engine management.
The hydraulic tappets are not filling up with oil; the engine sounds like a diesel with very bad injector knock. They are brand new.
I've emailed Estas. Thanks for the tip!
