Just keep reading this, and watching this minus the American engine of course. And imagining a D2 instead of a C5.
Although that would be something too.

Ever thought about a RWD S8?

hmm, ok the trans isn't that cheap. Minus 14kgs compared to 01E though.

Just driving home now I caught up with an old A6 (C5) with a pair of dirty large-bore tailpipes.
Came up behind it quickly coming up to a roundabout and saw it was a 2.7T, not something I'd really been conscious of as even existing.
Anyway, I guess the driver clocked me in his mirror because he shot off rather smartly with a satisfying rumble in my direction, so I guess it was running non-standard power levels.

I proceeded, as one does, with the stately grace befitting a D2. Caught him up by the next roundabout.

They were only available on pre-facelift C5s, as were the 4.2 V8s, so up to about 2001 IIRC in the UK. Continued in the Allroad but very rare compared to the 2.5 soot chucker and V8.

Id often thought the 2.7 TT lump would be a nice fit for a sporty D2....

Small enough to leave engine bay free to work round it, and potent enough for some serious tuning. Look at what the B5 RS4's are spitting out, and imagine that in a D2.

W12 power and then some, but with none of the weight distribution problems that comes with a giant block...

Take it or leave it on the transmission. To be honest, as the power gets north of 400bhp I'd rather have an auto to handle it personally, but I know many view squeezing a third pedal into the rhd footwell as the mother of all desirable upgrades lol

I would prefer an auto, if it was 1) not as heavy as the whole engine, 2) could handle the torque without melting, 3) didn't rob about 20% of the power. Now I know I can have most of those things in a D3 or a Merc, sadly in a D2 there is only the HP24A, if you stuck over 400lbft behind it its not going to cope (unless heavily modded)

That's not necessarily as bad as one might think. I had a cam belt go and all 16 inlet valves connected with the pistons. There is a photo of the piston tops on here somewhere after I polished them during the rebuild. 16 new inlet valves later the engine was once again running and in use. The valves are designed to bend on impact to protect the piston crowns. If the engine needs a new home?

Found the thread on bent valves http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=961

Hi all,fairly new to the site and was reading this thread. I have as I believe an A8 2.8 quattro sport Final edition on 20's in apparently "one off" factory painted Tornado red with beige interior. Sorry to jump the thread but you all seem very clued up on the 8's. Does anyone know of another and that red leather would look awsome in it by the way?
