Not Brian Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 That is awesome. There need to be more high-horsepower luxury AWD manual sedans. Do any even exist anymore? Aren't S4s all automatic now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGU Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 With minor machining to the bellhousing to fit the crank position sensor in the right place, a bit of custom wiring, a fabricated transmission mount, and a few 3D printed interior components, it works. It just damn works. A bit more fiddling with the tune, and some bigger aftermarket blow off valves, and it’s up and at em. Soo a little bit of machining, custom wiring, 3d printed panels, fabrication for mounts, and a custom tune BUT its plug and play... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Aren't ATS-Vs manual and awd turbo? Prolly all autos in 2019 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Aren't ATS-Vs manual and awd turbo? Prolly all autos in 2019 though The non V ATS is turbo and AWD, the ATS-V is RWD. I believe you can get a manual ATS with AWD, but I have never seen one and it's just the 272hp 2.0T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an interesting platform. Has it's challenges like any other but the costs to move it quick are less. with a good tune some cooling and exhaust work. No manual conversions or tunes beyond my JB4 here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
