All up and running, I'll post videos later.

It's been one hell of a journey. To my knowledge, there is no other B5 A4 of any year, with a BFM V8 engine swap. It's been more Research & Development, a journey of discovery. Hopefully by next week, I can book the car in to get it tested, and back on the road.

My B5 A4 2.5 V6 TDI Quattro Sport is next. As the motor is up for sale, as soon as it's paid for, stripping of the car will begin.

A big shout out goes to the big boys and girls at A8 Parts, for all the valuable parts supplied. I would not have been able to complete this project without their help with the little parts that make any project complete.

Thank you so much, David, Carl, Maria and any others who's names I don't recall. I appreciate you all.

Ooh nicely done Custom radiator by the look of it? Or modified off the shelf one?

Apologies for my bad terminology on the manifold stuff by the way - I'm referring to 'single stage' meaning a single change-over point, where clearly that would lead to two different stages in the manifold. Duh. I'm claiming a 'senior moment'

from me too for the team at A8 Parts. I wouldn't even have bought another D2 if it weren't for them

Thanks bud.

The radiator is actually a B5 S4 item. But as the inlet and outlet don't match the V8 hoses (unless you intend to snake them across the front of the engine) I had to get it modified to suit the engine.
