Audi 80 Tuning

A compact executive car, the Audi 80 had a dream run from 1966 to 1996. It was famous for a huge range of engines that accompanied its various versions. From the famous F103 series to the stylish RS2 Avant, Audi 80 has come a long way and experienced changes that no other model has had the privilege to.

Though it is mature in all its attributes, yet it is considered to be one of the favorite picks for tuning enthusiasts to try something different with their Audi. Since Audi had been launching so many different versions, it becomes a trivial issue to tune it up. The engine type, the model type and the parts used within the original version make a lot of difference in choosing the new performance parts.

Audi 80 Tuning

The engine needs a complete make-over to match the power standards of today’s time. The engine upgrade strategies vary a lot from a 1.6l engine to a 3.0 Diesel built power back. Every engine needs a complete service and an in-depth analysis of its final throughput. Audi models that have turbo diesel or MPFI engines are expected to enjoy a much better performance due to higher acceleration and top end by introducing new compatible chip and tuning it again.

The entire process might eat up a few hours but it is always good to spend time on the most important part. The engine kits encompass complete details for replacing the old chip with the new one. If your model doesn’t have the facility of a removable chip, then you have to reprogram the ECU at all costs.

The Audi 80s are good cars for such tune ups, but are weak in certain segments at the same time. The late 90s models experience the problem of coolant dry-ups. Hence you have to change the coolant and check for any head gasket leaks.

Audi 80 wasn’t designed to include the feature of a catalytic converter; hence the addition of it will only increase compatibility problems. Nevertheless, a brand new exhaust system is always a welcome to improve the car performance.

The serene looks of Audi A80 do need some makeover. We have identified new wide carbon kits to give some sporty touch to this car. Recently a British company introduced a wide range of carbon body kits for Audi R8. Luckily many of these kits fit perfectly for A80 as well. We choose stylish hexagon mirrors and also add a bottle green spoiler at the back.

Chrome steel front grills surely add some much needed wild looks. Steel wheel rims from mtm are one of the best deals in today’s time. Available in all sizes and colours, the wide wheel rims accompanied by matching alloys will surely add the hunting punch to your car.

Finally we add a Nitrous double split hood on the roof top. This not only gives extra acceleration and better throttle to the vehicle but also maintains the road balance at extremely high speeds.

The instant acceleration and current power readings of the tuned version will surely make everyone happy. It is simply a test of time how this masterpiece fares on the racing roads.
