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.

didnt they use the same shell for 4 and 5-cylinder variants?-if so should be straightforward.

thnking on though whereas 4-cyl rads are fitted centrally behind the radiator grille,fitting the longer 5-cyl engine requires the corresponding 5-pot radiator installing over towards the nearside of the engine bay- so lots of things apart from just the engine will need swopping.

would have thought selling your car and buying a 5-cyl one instead would work out easier.

Would have thought getting the electrics talking is the biggest problem. Engine mounts and rads will pale into insignificance.

Can you just refresh me here. Is a 5 bearing crank a 72 deg throw job, as such has huge counterbalances and is heavy?
