Sorry mates but nothing beats cubic inches
I decided to start cutting out my turbocharged type 4 engine to make some room for V8
Most of you may want to know WHY ? bacause I could buy this engine + gearbox here with less money than good condition stock type 4 costs Its deam relyable 300+hp and 400+ NM and this 6 speed gearbox has no problem with holding together....it takes less gas on freeway with 1800 revs / 100km/h and pulls from morning to late night without any problems. Now I will be able to go to some top speed event and when its still not enough I can double this power with no problems. Sound good when you have more NM than kilograms Thouse engines go cheaper and cheaper here every day but my friend used one 2 years on drift car without any problems and it hitted 7400rpm and over 300 from rear wheels all day long. Thats why
It will be midengine ofcourse. Bought an engine week ago and it had to be 340hp 4.2 from Audi S8 but engine code says that atleast enginecase is 300hp A8. Fortunately the ecu comes from S8 because it can be recoded to manual gearbox. I hop the heads are from 340hp engine too but don't know yet. Gearbox came from audi C5 A6 150hp diesel. Its strongest manual gearbox I know from audi and it has 6 gears. Should be able to stay together eaven under some boosted V8 ( After getting it all together and working it will be turbocharged one day. I already removed the gearbox wires and ecu from stock wiringloom. I already ordered little chip for disableing immobilizer. I started welding frame for fonnecting engine with my body and hope to get engine in quite soon
