Clint's B6 2.7T Build/Swap

[AudiA4_20T]

That makes it easier, thought I read somewhere they used different style pins.
Keep us updated, Ill be watching this like a hawk. lol

they actually use the same 10 pin connectors, but different 17 pin ones. Pins should still work though I think

[Wide-66]

On mine when I was wiring it I had to splice the matching body harness plugs (from 1.8t motor) to my 2.7t. I was going to repin but noticed that some pins were wider then others. Im sure it can be done by maybe trading spots on the chassis side for the couple times it occurs I just chose to go for a splice.

Also as for a pigtail into ecu box I think it will fit if you loop it down past where the chassis plugs are and back up.

Im just waiting for coils and an exhaust and Ill be on the road good looks and more picssssss

You have any wiring info on what you did Wide? Cause we are both 03 A4's. Next week I'm going to getting into mine. What did you do for front mount sunb?

[Wide-66]

Basically I used 2 Bentleys one for A4 and one for A6. My car was 03 1.8t CVT and the donor drivetrain was 02' A6. Only diff is mine is a Tip so some minor wiring differences. Im trying to work them out but have some customer cars that come first i am doing a tranny in a A3 DSG right now so im tied up for a bit. I can gather the scribble up so it makes sense maybe but I don't have a perfect cheat sheet yet. I do have have an extra set of body plugs and harness plugs im going to do up so some lucky winner can get that. For my snub I used the stock A4 1.8t one and modified the metal by cutting off the ends of the tube used for the intercooler. I then cut a small piece where it nubs up, fitted and marked the aluminum piece and drilled holes and tacked in some nuts. There is a pic on my FB page under stuff. heres a link http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...type=3&theater

I can't till I get my my turbos, I am so ready to get started on this.

[AudiA4_20T]

Got my spare 2.7T harness. Gonna bring the car down next week

[AudiHere04]

let me know when your in the dirty jersey...hehehe

Hey i have a 2002 a4 i have recently started a b7 DTM bumper facelift, i plan on doing proper fender splicing to keep the b6 lines and match up to new b7 front, i also have sold my 1.8 and purchased a complete 2.7 engine, i plan on doing rods, rings and bearings. i am also outfitting frankenturbos and direct port nitrous with supporting mods. so far as far i have

01e tranny rear diff and axels
2.7t engine
hood,fenders,OE DTM bumper
rs4 flatbottom wheel
b5 s4 front brakes
044 fuel pump
nitrous kit

from what i read you can use a b6 3.0 front rad support, so i will need to use a b7 rad support for the conversion i would assume im looking for the 3.2 rad support? i have seen another b7 conversion and it happens to have a 3.0 ( http://forums.thecarlounge.com/showt...-ny&p=72693423 ) so would it be safe to assume the 3.2 support is what im looking for?

Clint, get a move on. I want to get working on swapping a 2.7t into my latest 3.0 A4, but I'm waiting for some wiring diagrams and directions cause I don't want to figure it out myself.

Dragon Lady Avatar and Yuba City Location, you wouldn't happen to fly U2s at Beale would you?

Also, I agree, I want to see this rolling.

That is the very end Tim. Get all the hard parts bolted and finish the wiring last. The harness will be hooked up to the engine when it goes in. I will be more than happy to contribute to the wiring effort, but I need to get my turbos and downpipes in. I need to put those on first before I stab the engine and tranny in.

Nope, I'm a crew chief and was in charge of all the mechanics that fixed them. But you do have the base correct.

Fixed.

Yeah, I'm trying to decide which direction to go with the turbos when my tax return comes in. Frankenturbos?

Very cool, my dad flew U2s at Beale until '99. I was actually born there and grew up in Yuba City. Someday I will move back for sure.

[stringerbell]

i am undecided aswell, my friends father who makes custom TIG manifolds and intercoolers for rally cars has offered to build me manifolds for a VERY fair price, but if i can get more people on the bandwaggon it would just make the deal better, if i go this route i am thinking about the gt28rs's or i may just end up with frankenturbos its a win win.

Ok, so what ECUs can be used for this swap? Anybody got a list of part numbers and some advice? I've heard that the A6/Allroad ECU is the one to get to maek this swap easier, and the A6 motor might be the preferred version too, since it may have different sensors than the B5 S4 one.

Any B5 S4/C5 A6 ECU

[sandspeed]

There's no difference between the auto and manual ECUs?

[nefkntym]

Physically no, you can take any auto ecu and have it flashed with a manual file or vice versa.

Yea I heard he works there again. what does IIRC mean? and Im just asking what is he going to do to the car when it gets to the shop.

Finish the wiring and put it back together. I couldn't do much with the car in NJ when I wasnt there

Oh nice are you planning on getting it running?

[Sales@RAI]

never

[nefkntym]

never

Yep, Clint and I were talking on Thursday. We decided that Flintstone-ing it would be far easier and cheaper.

[sandspeed]

Just park it somewhere and make it look cool. You can tow it to all the shows.

I'm all about the look

lol is this question serious?

There are shops that have cars strictly for this lol. A whole bunch of parts, no dyno, and they never start it, but it's at every show lol
