audi rs4 biturbo in my ultima

[bamsetand]

hey guys i finally have completed installing a 2.7 rs4 biturbo engine in my ultima. i would say it has be a learning process and electrical hell but worth it. getting to fit the engine and intercoolers was tight but i am creative :-)
also alot of change in the engine aby had to be made and re-designed since the rs4 engine is 1 cm wider than the tube construction, so the engine had to be squeezed.
however an audi engine is not a beautiful shiny engine so a alu cover was made both to guide the heat out to the rear and shield heat from the air intake.
the intercooler are placed at the bottom of engine bay and airflow wings will feed them with cool air.
now i just have to complete the car and get this lightweight ultima on track.

Hi Alex.

Interesting build.
I am not familiar with that engine. The 2.7 litre is obviously not a V8. Is it a V6?
What sort of power are you planning?

Going 'off piste' is always a challenge, but then we tend to like challenges.

yes challenge are a most. solving the unknown seem so attractive that i had to do it.
yes it is a v6 this biturbo engine has so much aftermarket that it is easily possible to tune for 800+ hp. at this point it has 430 whp a friend of mine told me too wait tuning the engine. tuning just become an addiction.

in the begining i was going for the s6 v8 biturbo but it is too wide and tuning part are not easy to get. so i looked at rs4 which has so much aftermarket part and sparepart at fair prices.

I look forward to some more pictures.


On a different subject. Denmark was a buyer of the Centurion Tank from the UK and I am interested in the Meteor engine they used in the tank.
Do you know of any websites in Denmark that I can try for parts or complete engines?


Paul

[bamsetand]

well you are lucky
infact there is a engine for sale now from a centurion tank. the price is 25000 dk kr about 2500 pund

Thanks for that Alex.

I have texted the owner so we will see if we can come to a deal.

If I end up coming to Denmark to collect the engine, and it is not too far out of my way, it might be good to see your car 'in the flesh'.

hi poul i am glad on your behalf. let me know if he does not reply. the engine is about 150 km away from me.
can i ask of what purpose you need such a huge engine for? spitfire perhaps?
best reg.

Have you got any pics with the cover off? I would be interesting the see the turbo placement and intercooler piping / location.

in that case i have to take some fotos of the turboes since they are well hidden in this engine. the coolers are to the floor. on the picture you can spot them under the opening in the floor.

No reply yet Alex. I may try calling in a while.

I have a few of these engines. I am going to fit one into a 1936 Rolls Royce Phantom III chassis I have to create a 'special'.

I also supply them to others wishing to do the same or fit them to boats or static displays.
It's a bit of a hobby really.

Poul the engine is rather large and with 650 hk on a phantom sounds like utopia, but at the same time something that has to be tried. i cant wait to see or hear what such a car looks and sounds like. let me know if you need help and i will give him a call, write me your contakt info somehow. and i will pass them on to the him.

Looking forward to seeing more of the engine bay...

I don't know if you thought about something this for fabricating a heat shield:

Apologies for being pedantic, I thought there might have been a funny back story.
