Audi turbo
 

hi i'm new to the forums i have just bought the bible to start building my own roadster i was wondering if any one had fitted a audi or vw 1.8t engine in there roadster and any problems they came across

id have a good search theres probably a bellhousing out there that will fit

where theres a will theres a way !:D

yep
after having a play in my daughters 240hp A3 i looked at trying to fit one.
there is a link on here to a custom kiy to rwd and it comes in at approx 2K
too much for me .....
so if cheap is what you want to do then its a diy job i,m afraid.

This crowd use to put the vw in suzuki jeeps and did adaptors for the toyota hilux gearbox so you could put the 2wd hilux box behind it <tough as old boots>

As eluded too, the gearbox is the crunch point.

There are some tasty engines out there which are restricted by the number of suitable gearboxes.

if anyone wants one i have a 1.8T engine with the big port head and ancylires just lying around would need an ecu for it though
i like the idea aof the hilux box

tilly

I vaguely recall a guy in CKC building an Aeon gt3? with a audi turbo engine although cant remember what gearbox he used.

i think one of the porche boxes can be used (old 80's one iirc)

I think there are two sizes on the larger audi/vw engine. And most of the front engined porkers use torque tubes and transaxles IIRC.
