Is it possible to put a 30valve in a 12 valve car?
:confused: Does anyone know if it is possible to put a 30 valve engine into a 12 valve 1996 Audi A4, without changing much else? I was shopping for used engines, but someone on this forum mentioned I could swap. The last six of my vin are 055573.

i think thats a OBD 1 to OBD 2 swap. won't be the easiest, not sure what you'd have to change, but i'm sure it'd bolt right up
|
What does OBD mean?
So what would I have to change? |

I imagine you'd need a new ECU and a few bits and pieces from a 30v wiring harness, but as far as swaps go I can only assume this would be one of the easier ones
|
they are both OBD II. you'd need engine, exhaust mani, accessories, ECU and harness. mounts are in the same place and same size. unless you can find everything for cheap and do the work yourself, might as well sell the car and buy one with a 30V
|
anyone who has completed the conversion?
I just spoke to a mechanic. It is very costly to change to the 30 valve. It is a totally different platform.

If doing a motor swap do it to something useful imho!
