286BHP B5 A4 MTM info?

[RS ZWEI]

Im wondering if anyone can recall what the NZ new B5 A4 MTM 286 BHP kit consisted off? Also were the cars imported built up from MTM or were the put together here in New Zealand?

What I can recall is an exhaust, carbon/kevlar airbox and a different turbo.
What else did the kit have? Different fuel pump?
Was the turbo the same as an RS2 turbo or a different spec?
Was the clutch upgraded?
Did the brakes remain standard?

How could the 286BHP model be spotted from the outside? Did the all have the MTM wheels? Im not sure if the all came with the body kit?

S1, was yours the full fat 286BHP model?

[Bullseye]

Mine was a 286hp

Black with dark windows and black Audi rings and more aggressive front spoiler than most; BBS wheels.

On race gas would emit a lovely exhaust flame

I'm not sure , it was the dealer MTM option , they were all the same as opposed to 1.8 with an aftermarket MTM kit . It was about the time the were cleaning up at the BTCC and Aussie touring cars . May have been a NZ only kit spec

[beeker]

They were fitted in nz as a retro fit. Body kit was a nz sourced kit too.

- 187 chip only
- 210 chip plus full exhaust
- 286hp turbo, airbox, exhaust, chip
options.

286 suffered from non delivery of promised hp.

Plus injectors, fuel pressure regulation and remapped ECU EPROMs. Clutch was original Audi equipment however pressure plate and clutch disc were replaced with 1.9 ltr diesel spec items.  Brakes std.

All 187/210 ECU remap work was EMD prepared and then installed by the dealer.

All 286ps cars were modified at MTM Germany except the last two units which were done at EMD in the day.

Early 286 cars suffered with the local octane and were required to have a revised map to remedy idle and acceleration performance.

286 units all had MTM branded alloys and front bumper kits. MTM chrome boot badging also.

Thanks Horch.

That makes them a pretty special yet unknown and unloved car for the NZ market.
So the cars left the Audi production line and got delivered to MTM to tune? Do you know if these cars were done as a batch, or individual to order?

Would be cool to know how many were sold.

I remember a nice green one with the kit and wheels from back in the day, was well optioned, I think it was featured in a local magazine..

In one of the links above an owner said 30?

Though the 187 and 210's were sold as MTM tuned cars?

Been thinkin' some more......

from memory the 187 option was ~$3k, the 210 ~$8-10K and the 286 around $22k ?

[RS ZWEI]

Heres one for sale. No body kit? Could it be one of the 2 NZ built ones?

That's cheap..... gotta love the guy in questions telling him what it isn't..... world's full of experts.

[Andy H]

I've got one and I love it!!! I have modified mine significantly chasing more performance which is a bit of a pity considering it's quite rare.

[le mans]

I would like one, but 4 cars is getting ridiculous!

[wilco]

I'd love to have only 4 cars..
