Anyone tell me how much a new motor costs, for an A4 1.8 tq 1996. I wouldn't mind finding a pre built performance motor. Anyone have any ideas? I know you can get Japanese cars Crate motors (pre built performance motor) delivered to your door from japan. Is this the same with Audi motors from germany?

and i remember dahlback racing used to sell a fully built 1.8t for like think 7000 or more something like that

 

I think your the only person who reply's to my posts... Thanks heaps you've been very helpful. I reckon I might make this place my homepage

 

I've never heard of crate motors from Germany. Most people just find a used one from a wrecker yard. You could probably pick one up for around $2k-$3k.

 

Cool, I reckon I might fix this motor but try and find a new new new motor to start doin up too. Also can you tell me if 96' seats are interchangeable with new model A4's?

 

No I doubt it. The new ones have a third power rail that yours probably don't have. I've heard of people retrofitting them though, but it takes extensive work.

 

I dont have electric seats & not fussed about them. Is it possible now? :-)

 

Jest, i got a long block crate from germany.



btw-a guy is selling a motor on the zine for 1300hunderd, with only 39k on it.

 

Who did you get that from?

 

I got from a place in cali that imported it from germany. I just talk with the dealer and he pointed me in the right direction, it takes 2weeks to get them straight from germany, and ended up and cost me 6k.
