Engine conversions for the D2
Thinking a few years in to the future, I’m thinking I’d lik to have a more potent engine transplanted in to the S8. I see lots of people posting threads about their engine conversions in golfs, 3series, A3’s etc so I’m assuming it’s possible in the D2 as well? I’m assuming money is the only limiting factor?
I wouldn’t want to spend 100’s of £1’000’s, but I’m not expecting it to cost less than £10k either. Assuming I can get the Quattro to be compatible what would be the easiest swap? Would I need the gearbox from that car too or would I could it be mated to the existing D2 S8 gearbox?
Engines I’ve condidered are;
D3 S8 V10
D4 S8 V8 TT
C5 RS6 V8 TT
B5 RS4 V6 TT
RS3 5 pot turbo
Has anyone considered this already or done a conversion already? Let me hear your thoughts guys.
