Why there is nothing available for B4 / C4 cars

[hunker7]

What makes me keep mu urS4 is the engine really. Saying that, I think we might start seeing more and more engine swaps into cars with better parts availability. Imagine a B5 S4 with 2.2t? I like that

It should be a pretty easy swap shouldn't it? Something I might do when parts start to run thin

Imagine living in a country where your car is the ONLY such car currently existing and also one that was never imported. I didn't ever expect to say that but I'm starting to get tired of predicting what will be the next thing that'll break on my car and spending 2 - 3 hours per day searching the internet to find parts or accessories at "reasonable" prices plus "reasonable" shipping costs to Greece, just to manage to keep her running! I've actually quit hoping that she's ever gonna be in pristine condition. Sometimes I question whether the car is getting more worn, it being my daily commute, or I am trying to maintain it.

Same problem for my B4 Avant (2.0E) in Jamaica. North American parts don't work as they only got the 2.8

In norway

you have at least one audi a4 b5 running 2.2turbo.
Kenneth Alm is his name, alot of work.

When you have an old Audi, parts have to look at scrapping of old cars like a dog.

You can build a complete 1967 Mustang from aftermarket parts, but it would be far worse than factory Ford parts lol

A B5 with a 2.7TT V6 should be left as is. A 2.2 I5 single turbo is not worth the effort.

The V6 noise is very nice also.

A 4.2L V8 from a LHD UrS6+would be nice in a RHD UrS6 that had a tired I5 engine. A supercharger may not even be necessary.

What I suggest might happen in a few years time is that the 07K 2.5L I5 transplant may become easier to do and more commonplace.

I would do it then if I had the money and there was a kit to make it nice and easy / low brow for my ability.
