A front mount is definitely a good idea Rob, and maybe some form of cold air intake. I think it's one of the best mods I've done to the car, along with heat wrapping the de-cat pipe. Definitely made a difference to under bonnet temps. Intake temperature is only ever 10c above ambient and car...

Thanks all for taking the time to reply, very much appreciated :icon thumright: AJ, that coupe is looking like a beast! This will not be the first engine conversion I've done, but admittedly will be the first on a "modern" car where electronics play a much bigger part than just the machanicals.

That's exactly what I'm trying to weigh up, I've found a very good engine that's complete apart from the ECU, and it's only done 47k with paperwork to back it up. Agreed it would be better to have a donor car.. People think I'm mad for wanting to do this, rather than just buy an S4, but it...

Thanks for your input Darren, very helpful :thumbs up:

It's not about tuning, I want the V8. Brakes and suspension are sorted. I know it would be more cost effective to sell it and just buy an S4, but again, I don't want to do that either... So, does anybody know what would be needed from a donor S4?

Has anybody ever done a V8 S4 engine conversion to a 2.0T B7? I have a V8 itch that needs scratching and have been saving for a while to buy an S4 convertible, and then got thinking about buying an engine, rebuilding it, and stuffing it into the Avant... A few questions I have are... Will the...

No way! Sorry to hear this mate, theiving *******!! I wish them a slow and painfull death from septic genital warts!!!:rage::rage::rage::rage:

Hi. I'd check the oil pickup in the sump, sometimes can get blocked and cause oil pressure issues, or as you say the oil pump. Water pump and cam belt worth doing while the engines out. Check the dmf when you change the clutch also. With regard to tuning, STD clutch will be okay, especially...

Hello, not sure this is the best place to ask, but I'll give it a try... Many years ago I used to be into car hifi in quite a big way, winning a couple of amateur sound off competitions, my best result producing 147db. This was just using a standard off the shelf prebuilt twin 12" enclosure...

Got tickets for the Grand Prix qualifying for my birthday, then last night after filling up with petrol for today, the radiator decided to blow up! Luckily managed to get one and replace it last night, happy days! Now today I've just managed to rip a heat shield off the bottom of the car in a...

Haha! I love clean cars, but hate cleaning them! On another note... Had a chance to check the inlet temps over the last few days, and I'm quite pleased with my cold air box and front mount. Ambient temperature was touching 30c and inlet temperature around 40c.

Washed the battle wagon!
