kit car that uses (or could) an audi 2.7 biturbo engine?

[jasongtr]

i have an idea to put an audi 2.7 biturbo engine in a kit car - possibly a seven type car, i know the chassis would need modifying by the factory possibly but are there any that would physically take the size, im sure its no bigger than some v8's in dax rushes.

i know ill need to have a custom bellhousing fabricated as the std 6 speed gearbox is part of a 4wd setup.

im asking as i have the engine in an a6 im breaking and would lov to build a car and thought why not

that engine isnt a 2.7 v6 bi turbo, its a 1.8t 4 cylinder

thanks though

good to hear this is looking possible then, the pic of the orange/black car looks great from the front, shame thats the only angle it does - shoul be a very exciting car to go in though reading the stats

[jasongtr]

what sort of money am i looking at for a home build using an engine i already have, i appreciate thats always going to be a rough guide, but am i looking at £10k, £20k, £30k more.... i have no idea and theres no pricing structure on your website for home builds or factory cars, which kind of tells me if you need to ask you cant afford it ...

feel free to email me at [e-mail]

cheers

sounds interesting, i will have to come down and have a look, im only 10 miles north of oxford so pretty close too.

cheers

[jasongtr]

The other thing to remember is the A6 version of this engine runs 190 ish BHP as standard. The S4 is 265 and the RS4 is 380. You can get your A6 version upto 320 with a remap but after that you'll need to start changing turbos (K04), intercoolers, injectors and fuel pump. With the right map it will then be in the 420-440 region. The engine will go beyound that (there are 2.7 V6s running over 800BHP) but it gets very expensive.

its already running 290-300hp. and iirc the A6 version runs 230hp std, my a6 2.8 petrol non turbo runs 193 std so id be amazed if a twin turbo 2.7 runs 190 std

because i have the biturbo engine, thats the only reason im thinking of looking into this project, if i dont have it i wouldnt bother

[jasongtr]

you must know more than me as you are designig a car, but surely a heavy v6 thats only putting out 170hp seems strange, surely a lightweight 4 pot would be better for that sort of power of the engine i was thinking of which is way over 200 and very tunable to much more
