he could atleast have put an ABY engine which is the closes thing to an rs2 engine.
an rs2 must have ADU engine to wear the badge,otherwise it become an 80 avant with porsche parts slapped all over it.
not an rs2 any more IMO.
But is yours the original engine that came out of the factory fitted to this exact car? if not then I don't consider your car a rs2 as its not how it left the factory (even with the exception of modifications)

Question for you - all these cars with 7a heads on them because they are generally in better condition than adu/aby/3b heads with no cracks etc. If the original heads are too far gone and the only financial alternative is a 7a head does this make them any worse as the heads are better but they are not stamped like the originals.
I'd rather have the better 7a head than a cracked and potentially an expensive failure original head.
To me an RS2 with a 3B is not an RS2 anymore. That said, if the original poster had just said, "I have a 3B on VEMS that is having problems, can you help me?", I think the response would have be more positive.
And it still can be.
Is my Urquattro no longer Urquattro because I've swapped the WX for AAN?
As long as the chassis has RS2 VIN it is an RS2, just with an engine swap, that is all.

Can't totally disagree Martin but in your example you UPGRADED the engine. In this case, going 3B from ADU is a downgrade. If the RS2 car had a 2.0 L 16V swapped in, would it *still* be an RS2 to you? That's "just..an engine swap" too.

We get it. You have a very specific guideline for when it comes to these issues of labelling motors. You are missing the point but I admire your guidelines.

What do you consider downgrade?
3B block and head are so close to ADU mechanically that I would not worry about it if that is the only option I had. I would certainly take offence at someone telling me I don't have an RS2 anymore.
IMHO the chassis/VIN determines the car, not the engine.
In Canada that is all MTO looks at and lists in the ownership, you should know that

IMO make it look like an rs2. Get all the parts and keep it decent and I don't even care if the chassis has the magic letter. O have been seeing so many original ones rotting which is much worse for me.
Mine ISN'T an original and I don't care. Scares off all originals anyway

Where is the downgrade?You can be the man thet needs an i5 block(tdi or petrol)a head(10v or 20v) and this is the start for a great power engine.Or you can be the man that wants to buy ADU engine,because it is rs2.
I do not remember this forum beying "historical original car"
One more thing and i am done:
If most of us play the virgins and love originality....why the xuck will you buy an audi with porsche brakes and wheels?Because audi does not know to make brakes???They do.Why are'nt you a porsche owner???????Why not put mercedes brakes and say that audi makes good cars???
So you buy one because you like it.If you buy one because it is ADU RS2 you have a personality problem.
Done!!
But i am not in the market.And this in not in the sale section of forum.So people from the market buy what they want.Why?Not my problem.
Nothing personal with anyone.I just love any i5 engine,and not only.
when a new member who is in the market for s2 and asked the question,what is best aby or 3b.what does the mejority say,forget aby and by yourself a 3b motor? no.
almost everyone tells them to forget 3b and buy themself a aby
i can't believe,today people actually sticking up for 3b.
