Audi A6 with transplanted SHO TT power?

[platoribs]

I wonder how difficult it would be to shoehorn a twin turbo'd SHO into the Audi engine bay?

If there's anybody out there who wants to do this and then sell it to me... please call.:swing:

Does anybody know if the Audi 6 cylinder sits sideways or North/South in this car. If it was N/S, that would be a great transplant for a twin turbo'd SHO.

N/S I belive.

 

[SuperHO]

yup. it's a north/south config. there's also plenty of room under there to fit the yamaha under there. you'd need a custom bell housing adapter, and you'd probably have to overcome some wiring issues, but i believe it's quite doable.

Meh, just chip the 2.7TT that's in there.

 

[platoribs]

They're not that expensive...used.

How reliable/maintenance hog are they?

Anybody know?

 

[SeanMc]

Tony aka Call AAA has one. He might be able to give you more info.

everyone I know that had an Audi told me they about electrical gremlins; friend of mine bought a new A6 4.2 and it was in the shop a LOT for problems; warning lights and chimes for open doors and trunk, etc would go off for no reason, radio would turn itself off, windows stuck down, ...

Sounds like a waste to me. If you have all that time and money to waste give me a call I can find something for you to do.

Just thinking out loud, killing time at work.

I got enough projects as it is.

Considering the engine sits in FRONT of the front "Axel" in that car, I imagine putting a Anchor of a SHO engine in the front would make it ridiculously unbalanced.

Almost anything possible, just need a big enough shoehorn.

I worked at audi for awhile. The A6 is pretty reliable ive never seen any major problems with them. Usually its the 1.8T that has issues. As for electrical gremlins i didnt see that many. That 2.7t in a A6 with a 6 speed is a fun car but i would just get the S4 with the same motor.

ridiculous German garbage; the whole car weighs like 2354234234234234 pounds so you can have rosie o'donnell spinning that input shaft and you won't have any (worse) weight distribution problems

It still weighs less that the 2010 SHO. Germans must make crappy car because their re-sale value sucks compared to good old American/Mexican/Canadian cars.....lol

Pretty sure Rosie weighs less than a SHO. At least she would after a few weeks if she had to pull a car around.
