neonkiller Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 ok i assume theres plenty of wiring diagrams? and i'm talking about swapping the engine harness too. a wire diagram will not work, You would have to take the whole steering colum just so you could keep the original set of keys to that motor so the ECU will work and start the car.. This is not some carb'd motor. Stop now before you make a decision that will run your wallet dry not even half way through the swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the keys won't make it work? The keys don't have a chip in them. I do know that he would probably have to get an S4 gauge cluster that will need to be programmed to the ECU, which isn't a big deal, and it will have to be an ECU from an early S4 too. But yeah it's definitely not going to be an easy swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say it but fuckin a throw an ls1 in it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6 Speed S4 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I just want to swap a 4.2tt RS6 motor into a b5 car lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVRINGS Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Found my 4th arm for my engine stand yesterday. So I will get it 100% on just the stand instead of both the engine stand and cherry picker. Then I can take a few things apart to send off to get PC and clean the rest of the engine up before getting it set into the bay. I'm thinking of the RS4 clutch, but kinda don't like the idea of the self adj thing everyone talks about that could mess up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6 Speed S4 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 V10TT or bust I saw that on the zine, looks like a pain in the ass. I thought he was not doing that swap. He gave up or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of the RS4 clutch, but kinda don't like the idea of the self adj thing everyone talks about that could mess up. RS4 clutch can't hold a lot of power. I would put a south bend or clutch masters clutch in there to make it worth while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Yeah I don't know if he's going to finish the V10 swap. I have a stock RS4 clutch and it holds just fine, but I'm not about to do any launches with it. It holds up for some, doesn't hold up for others.

IVRINGS Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Can you guys give me a brake down of things to keep looking over before putting the engine in. I'm like I said doing the clutch before so I don't have to pull it apart again unless going 6-speed after a big month of sales. Also since my new engine is a 01.5 I shouldn't have the F hose that has issues from what I hear. I'm also going to do all new timing stuff and I think the Thermastat due to it is behind the timing right? Also VC gaskets are going to be done since I want to clean those up with some Bright Red PC. I think some Cam seals might be a good idea since one seems to have a slight seap around it. Things I still need: Clutch S4 Flywheel(bought one from Kickass) Intercoolers(bought both from Kickass) ECU (maybe borrow 6 Speeds if I can) Pipes from Intercoolers to TB(bought both from Kickass) Intake Y to turbos(might get from engine place still, e-mailed) S4 body harness stuff to repin with.

CRed05 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I believe I still have my stock flywheel, still have my stock intercoolers, still have the stock turbo intake pipes. Check the auxiliary coolant pump, it sits underneath the intake manifold. Chances are it's leaking. When you replace it, get the factory relocation kit along with the new pump. Yes, the thermostat sits behind the timing belt. I have the cam lock tool for doing the timing belt if you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVRINGS Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Kickass you going to be giving/selling those parts? Also I will need to borrow that cam lock tool for sure if I can. I'm going to be taking my time with it, but I don't think you are going to need it for the next month or two right? Not that I'm going to take that long, but just trying to make sure I get everything looked over before having to pull this engine for something dumb later.

CRed05 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Yeah I'll let them go, don't really want to just give it away, but make me a reasonable offer and they're yours. I won't need the tool I just did my t-belt service maybe a 1000 miles ago so you can use it for as long as you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVRINGS Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I will PM you for that stuff. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVRINGS Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Also is there any major S4 2.7T forum I need to get on. There isn't much I can find on FAQ to learn up on everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 The RS4 PP based kits hold up great from a roll, but will not tolerate repeated hard launches. Need to get away from the SAC PP to really do anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Speed S4 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I was wondering on this as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
