Ben's V8 Audi Coupe Quattro
« on: November 02, 2015, 12:20:57 am »
Hey all!

I have posted a few general questions here but I will give a more full rundown of the project so far...

Long story short, I had a 1993 Audi V8 and wanted to swap the engine into something else.
I found this really rough 1990 audi coupe quattro:


and set to work on fixing it up as a recipient for the 4.2L V8 ABH engine from the V8


I ended up taking the bottom of the ABH and the top of an ABZ (audi A8 engine) so I could ditch the distributors and go coil on plugs.


Got a new B4 hood and cleaned up the inside:



I took a 1997 A8 harness and made it work for VEMS:


Got some motor mounts made:

and started test fitting:


I was having some trigger issues and so I had to move the flywheel a little closer to the engine. Now I get the crank position sensor, flywheel teeth better:


I'm running auditrigger by the way...

Then I figured out the biggest radiator that would fit:


Took this shroud kit from Summit Auto Parts and hacked it up to make a shroud for the radiator:



Mocked up a snub mount:



drew out the radiator hoses:

and made them:


Got the exhaust built:



Here's what it looks like now:

and here's what it sounds like:

So here I am working on the base tune. I have a log here:

I'd LOVE some feedback on it
