more pics and company details, if not fast enough for you, go for the 5.2 v10 from the d3 s8, these are about £5000 on ebay.de, and run with the kms stand alone ecu, as on this ultima. will look good in your s8 at next years a8oc meet.
kms.vankronenburg.nl , pes-tuning.com , vf-engineering.com , novidem.ch , jhmotorsorts.com . nice winter projects, john

Lovely engines but all the work for putting in the Audi S10 5.2 FSI into a kit car? I would go for the BMW V10 5.0 Litre anytime..... Running either Pectel or Haltech management.

Oh wait.... I did!!
