Hello my name is Tarmo i.m from Estonia. Nice forum over here.!Long story short-> has anyone from you guys over here acomplished this motor swap what to look for and maybe you can direct me to a therad where this swap has been done. I bought the car without a motor and i have s6 1995 motor AEC with wiring harness and ECU so i am going to put that in there and i want to know if you guys have any info on this what to look for etc...

Big thank you in advance.

Yes,

it has definetely been done a couple of times (at least with a PT, but the effort maybe well the same). I would point you to the following addresses:

www.audifans.com => Audi V8 mailing list. There maybe a photo story as well on that page.

forum.group44.de => Unfortunately German, but there are some guys who have done this as well, even including a compressor and/or turbocharger tuning.

Possible is everything, but honestly: In your case I would head for a cheap 3B and put it back in place. When tuning it a bit (even though I won't) you get 300PS+ out of it easily leaving most standard V8s just behind you. And the 3B engine becomes rarer each day, AND you keep it in original state.

Regards

Bastian

I honestly would pick up a 3b engine but they are so rare in my country that they cost 3-6 times more than a v8 engine. I def. would let it be original and unmoded i understand your point. Thnak you for pointing directions Tarmo.

Hi,

I can give you the contact address of a guy in Vilnius, Lithuania, who should have plenty of those 3B engines and auxillary parts. He may even help you putting the engine into the bay, maybe...

Interested?

Bastian

Ok, thank you, do you want to buy my aec engine 375 euros?Anyways lets see how much he wants for a good condition longblock 3b engine with all the sensors ...
Bye for now.
