Audi 20v turbo engine

Has a swap like this ever been done? Either with the torsen welded using the Audi tranny or maybe the engine mended to a datsun tranny?

 

I would love to learn more considering it's my favorite engine

There are adapters out there to mount them to the porsche turbo (snail type) transmission and there have been a few conversions to other transmissions.

 

I've never really been a huge V.A.G fan (does anyone else find it funny that IPB censors that?), not sure why, but these little motors are really cool. You'll be a little better off than me in this country finding performance parts, but still (sadly) less than others.

 

I also feel there may be some sump issues with these? I have no idea where the sump is but they're slung all the way in front of the axle.

 

If it could be put in there with a decent transmission, go for it! Search teh interwebz for adapters, I'm pretty sure there's an R154 adapter out there somewhere, I wouldn't waste my time with the audi boxes, some of them can be fiddley and you'd have a needles front diff casting taking up space.

I'm not sure why you'd want to though. A KA/SR trans maybe, but you'd just nuke the L series tranny....

Hi buddy . . . its always an impressive job to be done . . . or you can consider it as "it takes guts to be up there" but at the same you can swap it by "it takes money to be up there " . .. because in such interests money matters a lot as u know that money makes the mare go . . . . any ways best of luck for future projects :)))))) .. . keep it up ! !

I work at an Audi shop that specializes in these motors and have wondered this myself... there are a few things that can be done.... use the awd tranny and weld the center diff....BUT this trans is HUGE...dimensionally and weight wise... I would think you would need to cut the tunnel to get this tranny in...better idea would be making a flywheel and a transmission adapter plate for something like a Bord Warner T-5, or maybe A Nissan Z32 transmission...something pretty strong and readily available throughout the country
