Audi 80 4 pot to 5 pot conversion

[KRIMZONQUATTRO]

Hello people,
just need a bit of technical advice on whats involved in a engine conversion for my Audi 80 quattro.
Right lets get to the point, my Audi has that 1.8i 4 pot which is ok if you like frowning, so I would like to put a 5 pot in it which if your an Audi Nut like me you know why lol!

So...does anyone know if there is a 5 pot where the engine mounts are pretty similar (or a hopefull bolt out bolt in job ;-P) or what would be the best course of action, that won't mean too much cutting and grinding in the engine bay and also would a 10v be the better option with the likes of wiring loom than a 20v?

Probally a bit long winded really sorry about that, but if anyone can help that'll be great.

cheers guy's and i'll upload pics if I work out how to do it lol.

Never build something that you can buy.... plenty of Audi 80 5 bangers out there for sale nice and cheap.

very true but most arn't in this condition (not abused) and it's a quattro so trying to find one of these cheap is hard plus the 5 cyinder came as a 90 quattro rather than a 80 quattro.

wana keep this one for sure....just wana make it better! :-)

Just buy a complate but rusty 80/90 quattro then and you will have all the parts you need.

thats pretty much the intention but just need to know wether the engine mounts are similar being the 80 and 90 have the same chassis but the engine sizes are different (4 pot - 5pot).....so really need to know how involved it's gona be in a way of cutting, wiring etc.
