Re: GURU's official LS/B5 Quattro Swap for under 5k
we actually had this idea as well.. and had the motor and our a4 chassis.. LS is a lot longer than a VR6.. we measured an LS with as much removed on the front of the motor as possible and youd have to run either a modified front support, or no stock front support at all.. or do some cutting to the firewall/strut crossbrace
it is definately a sick idea though.. quattro LS1 would be a mean setup.

x2 looking forward to :
1. seeing if they let you keep this on here this time (vendors should get upset over this they don't even produce this).
2. the end product and power you make.

Sweet build, hope certain people don't get involved and get the thread closed. Which LS are you looking at doing? Retaining AWD via audi 5000 tranny? Sounds sweet. Good luck.

Audi S4 01e 5 speed tranny from 96 S4. With full quattro system that went 10 sec

Keep the kid stuff out so we can keep this thread open. I love this stuff.
A 350 fits nicely in the B5 and I doubt the Ls block is any larger externally. The only issue I can think of is the water pump and belts but you can run a shortie electric and cut that length down.

The only standback in technologie in my project will be still the drive by cable conversion, but hey, My S4 project was already this way with the OE engine.

GURU seeing a big displacement power-plant in an S4 makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I love the LS series. After owning an 06 GTO I think the LS2 is my favorite engine of all time. It sounds amazing, looks amazing, mad torque down low, ahhhhh! I want this. So excited to see how this turns out. Please please please keep us updated on the final cost of the project I feel like this could be a viable alternative to stage 3 and up power. Ur awesome GURU!

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.

It was his spare dogbox tranny

Guru any plans down the line for a remote turbo system (ie... STS)?
By the way Eric is a good guy! I talked to him right before Thanksgiving about a similar set-up.
