Hi my names kyle and im new to audi's and recently I picked up a b5 model, but the engine was blown...i was wondering what kind of engines i could put in it? subaru 2.5L, or the Mitsu 4G63 Turbo, small block v8, or any other kind of audi engine? Please dont flame me...just looking for some answers
thanks...kyle

 

wow this is new, they want to put in a JAP engine in out EURO cars
no u can put in those engines but will they run is the question, i wanna see how ur gonna get the ECU and wiring to work together

 

what year is ur car? if its DBW, you could possible get a carborated engine. but that would be a pits. and a horrible pita to fit it in that cramped space.

 

the year is 98...what engine would work best? i was just trying to go for the smallest engine possible, maybe i should check with my nearest shop? im not limiting myself to just jap engines, its just the stock 1.8T does not have much power and i wanted to try something out of the ordinary....im really confused
o ya also what would the a new stock engine run me? thanks!
(p.s. i really want a small block v8 in there but doubt theres enough room)

 

Lol, ya. audi crams those engines sooo far forward, it be a total pita. iono. you could put in the 2.7 twin turbo from thr S4. im not sure how it hard it would be tho. and i have no idea of the cost. go here: http://www.shokan.com/

they have basically any OEM p[art u could want.

 

cool thanks audicross

 

well, first of all why was your engine blown?, and why did you buy it that way. The subaru is a boxer engine that is very different than the audi. The 4g63 is out of the eclipse and talon and is not worth swapping unless its a turbo model and they arent dependable at all. As for the v8 its just a bad idea unless you have a lotta money. Just get a junkyard a4 motor and be done with it

 

i was thinking the s4 2.7 turbo? i can get a good price on one from shokan...by the way i was sold the a4 by some family members for 1000$( there was several problems with it and the engine no longer ran and they didnt really need the car so lucky me )

 

uh, buddy for 2 grand I got my A4, full service records and all, oh yeah, it runs too. Search audiworld for reports on shokan, they're not very favorable.

 

Screw motor swaps. Just make the 1.8 into a 2.0. It's a lot cheaper and few people have done it.
