dude, if you really wanna do it, i say do it, there was a thread just like this on zine a while back, search for it, and see........... there is a company in ny that does this and i think it was for about 15 grand they would give(sell) you everythin g needed..... a used s4 motor/tranny/ecu/wiring/suspension/intercooler.... the whole 9

as for front mount on a s... good idea, but you gotta flow more than a 1.8.......as for water injection, i think you mean meth or nitrous....... it is the same principal as what we have now, but with meth or no2 getting shot into it to cool it down, if i remember seeing right that is about another 1500 bucks..... for a few unnoticable hp


but like i said if you want to go get it....do it, but check out that place in ny

here is a place, 19,500 looks to be the quote http://www.2bennett.com/body_audi_engine_swap.html

Whats wrong with a fmic? Your statement made no sense. Water/meth injection will cool the intake charge down below outside temps, cleans the cylinders, reduces knock, and the best part, makes 93octane gas work like 110+octane. And its far from $1500. A extremely nice dual nozzle set up is only $500 and you can get a basic single kit for under $300. As for the gains, it depends on the car and tune. You can see anything from 10+hp on a untuned (for w/m) chiped 1.8t and all the way up to 30hp for a tuned chipped 1.8t w/ a ko3. So i say thats far more than a unnoticable amount of hp

Exactly!! lol. Why, exactly, can't this guy figure that out?? If he really wants a sleeper that badly, just buy an S4, debadge it,eighty-six the S4 wheels, and mod the hell out of it. Much easier and probably not as expensive.

Yeah, I know. Just sayin' what I think, though. I don't really think this guy will pull through with it, either.

i never said a fmic was bad

i was sayingw/m was a good idea, but that i don't have much knowledge of it.......... i didn't realize you could get it so cheap nd that it gave thqt much power......... i am going to do a fmic when i do my timing belt...... might have to look into w/m.......
