    What should I replace my 4.2 Engine with?
    Not interested in the 2.7, RS6 or S8 Engines.
    I want something stupid powerful, any suggestions welcome. Thanks!

    How much fabrication can you do and what's your budget

    Seems like LS turbo swap is pretty popular, lots of aftermarket support for the engine platform and such...
    1500 whp easy with a turbo and some nitro.


    Personally id like to see someone do a full blown 4.2 single turbo build but those alusil cylinders arent the friendliest

    2.7T can get you to 800hp without doing anything crazy.

    I'm not a fan of doing more complex work than is needed to achieve a certain goal, but if you're set on that path, I've always thought an Audi with an LS7 would be insane.

    I originally want to do a 2.7 but have changed my mind since- interested in the LS7 though, that'd be out of control.
