5 cylinder into V6 B4?

[Pat D]

Does a 5 cyl sit in a V6 B4 engine bay without any mods, or major ones?

I'm thinking of buying one for a project at a later time after the S2 is done, but not too sure because as much as I love the way a B4 looks, by the time I get around to it, parts to restore a B4 will be harder to obtain and so I'd probably have an easier time building a B5. I know its way more work with fitting a 5 pot in one, but the B5 has an awesome style to them and a 5 cylinder B5 in my opinion would be the next best thing.

Seems it can be done but its a tight fit.

Just need to change the chassis mountings for the engine mounts.

Hey Pat,

Why a B5, when an B4 S2+spec saloon in silver or black is a sight to behold.

I am fitting a 20vt to a v6 b4 quattro, you will need to cut the engine mount cradles from the chassis rails of a 5cyl as the v6 has cast alloy ones that bolt to the chassis rail, will also need the front panels, radiator. Easiest to find a complete 5cyl 80 or 90 as a donor

Also the rpm counter will not show the revs property... because the 6 cylinder signal unless you change all the wiring...
