How much would it cost ...?

[pasbogdan]

S2 Avant would have better parts compatibility with a B4 saloon, the rear end in particular, and would be my first choice for what you want to do.

Doing it without a complete doner will cost more in the long run and be much more difficult, trust me I've done a couple of engine swaps for customers and it's amazing how many little things like brackets and clips you need to do a tidy job.

That should be the way in case of a sedan s2 replica.But if user wants just a 2.2 turbo engine on his car no need to buy an s2,just engine is ok.If he buys an s2 he will have an s2
So if $$$$$$ is available sedan+aby avant will be the way to a rare car.Will get o1e gearbox,management etc.But is the budget so big?Members here sell cars with almost new prep engines 400 hp,at lower price that only engine and mods eated....

Here's a thought.

A thought .. But ideally just want running and known quantity to drop straight in with minimal effort haha .. What other engines would people suggest ? I'll turn this into a "which engine" thread .. What copied be easy ? More powerfully than the ABC ... Etc etc

V8 :d

I would move earth, fire and water to put a v8 in it .. What though ? What v8 will fit, with minimal effort, link up to say a Quattro box, and would be cheaper than buying an 3B or ABY ?

There are lots of options. IMHO not worth the hassle unless you're going to stick a turbo or two on it. A remapped 20vt will have almost as much power and more torque than an Audi 4.2 and sound just as good, whilst being a far easier conversion. Now, the 5.0 V10 would be interesting

Thinking a little out of the box so to speak but what about a VR6 of some sort? Not that easy but different.

An I5 20V turbo really makes the most sense though.

The £4K I quoted was a working budget to get a whole doner car and any new parts required along the way to do a proper job, a lot of this could be recouped by selling unwanted parts off. As Bogdan says you don't strictly need a whole car unless your trying to build an S2 Saloon replica, if you only used the parts you need to install the engine and not bother with five lug hubs etc you could get a lot of money back from breaking the doner.

The v10 will need a mod engine hood,something like spq one,maibe little taller.Also brake pump/servo will get no space and a tilton/wilwood inside pedal plate will need to be mounted.The 01a/01e gbox have only 4 mounting points common on engine block and a thin adapter plate should be done.

I certainly don't have the budget for a V10 at the moment ! Lol

Keep getting badgered by my "jap" friends that I should stick an SR20DET in it, 2.0 turbo from an s14 Silvia .. Same sort of price as an s2 lump though .. Ideally if I was going to go 20vt I would literally just drop the engine in. Not after an s2 sedan rep, just a very quick saloon that makes a nice sound and goes "TOOOOSHHHH" occasionally

1.8t with a half decent turbo on it. mine stands me far less than the cost of a 5cylinder 20vt and 275bhp 310ftlb

'mercuns love VR6 turbos in B4s. 034 do the conversion gubbins.

I have considered this, but how hard are they to stick in ? How much fabricating ? And if I was still wanting to keep the Quattro set up as is, what box would fit etc ? And how much ?

i've done a 90q originally 10v and it literally bolted onto the box using the a4 clutch and flywheel. downpipe had to be made anyway for different turbo, passenger mount fit straight on from another 4 cylinder model and modified a a6 drivers side. although cab 1.8 mounts are said to fit straight on.. and today i done this to a fwd 80 lol

cost wise, buy a full a4/a6/passat cheap and sell what you don't need to recover costs. my first a4 cost £350 with full leather, sold it all minus leather and engine and made money. the last passat 1.8t i bought was 150...
so fairly cheap compared to the 5 cylinder.

[R5T]

This looks like a fees able option, have you got a completely build thread on your previous one ?
