inline 5 cylinder swap?

[G Men 08]

Anyone know of this being pulled off in a b6?

[cdn20valve]

It would be sick!!! But the big question would be what engine management would you use? Standalone?

[20vturbo]

are you talking about the old or the new 5 cyl????

[alpinestar180]

there isn't a whole lot of room in between the firewall and bumper carrier (hence the timing belt job being such a bitch). there are like maybe 3 inches extra so you might have to do some frame work =(

[JWatson]

Cutting into the second fire wall would give more than enough room I'm sure.

[vinny.dtw]

I like the way you think. I don't think the good ole 5 cylinder turbo has been put in a B6 before.

ah yeah that's true. i think a v8 style battery relocation will be in order as well. not a big deal i don't think

[gdawg'05a4]

I'm sure it is possible. My friend (who is also a Audi indy) did this to his '95 90. He ripped out the 2.8 and put in the AAN 2.2 I5. It is quite the sleeper (slightly modded)! It took some fabbing in the engine compartment (engine mounts, radiator support, etc). Engine management was used from the '92 S4 he pulled the engine out of. He did all the wiring and everything is working as it should now like OE.

the old 5 cylinder 2.2 turbo. Love that engine! but the car style is just a bit outdated! nothing I could afford to do, or have the time to do anytime soon. but a few years from now. it would be nice to gather the information and have a clue as to what I would need for the transformation! Wouldnt have to worry about the 2.7t 1.8t or the v8 s4s with that bad boy!

[nein-reis]

Its been done, I remember seeing a video of one on a dyno a couple years back. Put down 700+AWHP if I remember right. Love that motor!

[Molotov]

I actually almost asked this a couple days ago, but from my understanding it would be way too far forward. There isn't much room up front when it's mounted in the right chassis. I'm not sure though

[NetLogic]

You have more room to fit a vr6 than you go a I5. I5 is longer and if you have seen how little room you have for a Vr6 you get the idea.

[onceover]

They made a drag RS4 with a I5 in it. Made over 1000 hp

[JoshDub]

The inline 5 would fit. That would be a great build.
Now pull it off.

you could always build a 2.2L 20V 4cyl that would drop right in

[ultrasport69022]

I5 FTW!!!!

Do you know where i can find this?

[jmw241]

How about the new i5 thats comming in the new TTRS. I'd lvoe to swap one of those in.

[Sales@RAI]

like this?





I've been doing a ton of research lately about what's going to replace the B6 soon. The I5 is a monster, but something about a TT V8 in a B5 does it for me.

[SleeperAvant]

nice

[ATW72]

That swap would be sick.

[Dan[FN]6262]

then what are you supposed to do with the transmission and front half shafts? the only place you can go is forward. and it wouldnt be that hard to fab up a lock carrier. and someone in sweden has done this, I remember watching a vid on youtube

[IVRINGS]

BTW that car needs a front pass side door blade. ;) I wouldn't mind seeing what one of those would do.

lmao

[Sales@RAI]

And you could build a 2.5L AAN... Show me someone with a 1200whp 1.8t and I'll agree with u.

even better yet, it had a 2.5 diesel block!

[pimpbot]

Well, I have to say 'yeah, but why would you want to?' Yes, I droll over a turbo boosted inline 5 as much as the next audi freak, but IMO, it doesn't belong in an A4/S4. Probably purely an aesthetic thing with me. Seems to me there are much bigger gains to be had with a 2.7l biturbo, and that will bolt right up with the right parts. I know, it just doesn't have the soul of an i5t, but an i5t swap just seems like a ton of work just to be cool.

Plus, I had to deal with the smog referee here in California, and I wouldn't wanna wish that on anybody.

My point is simple, what use does anyone have with a 1200whp B6 A4? The only thing I can work out is a full out drag car, and with that kind of power it MUST be caged, and have racing seats and harnesses installed. Not something you can drive on the street. At that point you should go with the largest displacement lump you can fit between the framerails and that's clearly not an Audi motor. But whatever, whether you choose a 2.2L I5 or a 7+L V8 the car is already going to be cut to shit. Both the photos and video above show that the old Audi I5 doesn't simply fit in a newer chassis.

PS the best dyno of a 1.8T I can recall was somewhere around 1050whp.

[Militant-Grunt]

Hey Clint do you have more info on that car?

[G Men 08]

From what I have read, the inline 5 is more potent than the 1.8 and the 2.7. Stage 3 biturbos cant keep up with a properly done inline 5

[JoshDub]

Inline 5T > V6TT

shit if I wasn't so deep in the 1.8t I would do it...The v8 that has a timing belt would be better

There is a billet crank to the dieselblock that strokes it to 2.7l

Thinking that K04's on a 2.7T is "properly done" is the problem here.

[G Men 08]

^yeah, I guess so. But with all of the stage 3 cars rolling around.. that is the general idea of what people want to beat.

[n7plus1]

i heard it was illegal to put an older motor in a newer car?

[diagnosticator]

Anyone know of this being pulled off in a b6?

The old 034 5 or the new VW 5?? Regardless, I think the 5s are to long to fit.

[diagnosticator]

Cutting into the second fire wall would give more than enough room I'm sure.

Only if moving the trans toward the rear, and that enters the realm of money is no object expensive.
