1.8t engine in 4motion ??
« on: 09 October 2013, 21:58 »
hello fellas im seriously considering buying a v5 or v6 and dropping a AGU block in there...
reason behind this is because i want as much traction as i can get and 2 wheel doesnt seem to be enough in my appinion beyond 230-250bhp but thats just me.... and would be a nice project :)

sooo...my theory behind this is that i would need the gear box from the audi tt quattro or equivalent and AGU block and the ancillaries and a good mapper

would i need things like the sub frame and drive shafts from the tt as well??

or does any one know of someone who has done this before?

once again thank you for any sarcastic comments and genuine replies and just generally putting up with my ideas  :D

This is something I'd like to do as well, start with a v6 and swap engine and box etc.

Subframe should be fine to keep though.

Pm a guy called yohan. He had a 4motion 1.8t bora so could probably offer some decent advice. From what I can remember from his threads etc it was s3 running gear on his. Sounds like a cool project either way man.
