engine swap

rocketaudi · 09-30-2001, 02:09 PM

i read all about 2bennets swap for the 4000 with a turbo motor and thats probably the way i wanna go except i dont have 9 grand for the job... if i buy a cgt for a few thousand id have the donor engine and a few other parts im looking for.. could i just take it somewhere and have the swap done cheaper?

The turbo swap is a lot more involved than remove NA engine, install turbo engine, close hood, go fast. From what I gather, you have to cut the battery box out and relocate it to the trunk, either remove or relocate the A/C, I think the alternator needs to be moved(not sure about this one), etc. It's definitely a job that should be handled by someone with some real Audi skills and a lot of time, neither of which does the average Joe Mechanic have. Your best bet is to get an NG motor(2.3 liter, 130hp) from an 80q or 90 and tune that. It won't be as powerful, but it's a straight bolt-in, and it will still have good power.

Would it be possible to have this done to a 4-cyl non-quatt or would it require extensive mods? Just wondering...

The best bet for a 4-cyl. turbo kit is ATP. I don't know if they have anything for the longitudinal Audi 8v motors, but they do a lot of early VWs, as well as late-model VW and Audi(1.8T).

ATP
