Default Engine swap

I was thinking of getting another audi B4 with AWD. taking out the V6 and putting in the Supercharged V8. moving what I can back to the trunk, there be oil pan, rad, battery, fuel cell, etc...
I think that the V8SC can do 600-900HP with ease.
I am thinking doing that, after I do the SC for V6 and getting a decent place for garbage to collect.

The mods to engine are, forged pistons, light rods, light fly wheel, dry sump oil system (stage 6), No AC, yes/no Power steering, heavy duty valve springs, heavy duty valves, Port and polish, and supercharger in the valey, high flow cats. that would I think give me redline at about 8000RPM.

suspension, I have no clue to what do upgrade there, just lowering springs in the back to match the front. maybe sway bar larger.

body, all fenders fiberglass, no rear doors (fiber glass) side windows also plastic, full roll cage, 6 point belts, race seats.

now, I want to keep the car street legal, so I could just take the car to enywhere, and just go to compititions on its own power.

what do u think?

If you like the b4 your best bet is to get an s4. The 5 cylinder turbo motor has good potential and its much easier than a motor swap.

the reason I thought of putting V8, is too get as much torque as I can get. I5 is way diferent feel that V8.
I was thinking of boosting in area of 15-20psi, but I5 would have to boost 30-40 psi to get to the same level.
But you are right, 5cyl swap is easier that V8 swap, just becouse I would get extra space to put stuff in.

Hi, I work in a similar engine project (audi V8 32v ABZ engine).
But I don't have any idea of how to make a dry sump oil system. Do you have some information about how to made it?
Wath supercharger you plan to use?
