I never like to step in on another mans party. In this case why turbo? oil lines are going to be a mess then you have to do coolant lines as well. from there you need to tap back into the oil pan and coolant system. Inlet pipes have little to no room. The motor might spin to 8000 rpm but that only adds challenges to a turbo as most shaft speeds will be very taxed at that speed.
Also when you look at the CFM of the 4.2FSI its close to 100% VME that’s in the high 550-600 range. A single turbo to run that kind of CFM is going to be very large.
Is this just a personal venture or are you looking to make a kit.
This in no way is meant to be an attack on what your doing. Its just such a clean car I would hate to see it cut up in the name of one turbo kit when there sounds to be many other options.
No disrespect taken, thanks for your input as thats why I posted what im doing. I have an open mind to other ideas. Not making a kit, just for personal goals. As for coolant/oil lines, this I dont feel to be an issue now for the 8k rpm , yes this is why i might be swapping different exhaust housings.
I guess we will see how it goes… if the shits the bed, ill swap to a turbo vr6.
I’m all about cool ass swaps Jnaut, but don’t’ do that to an RS4…You should pick up a blown B7 S4 for a VR swap. Good luck with your turbo endeavor, I really hope you are successful.
Lol, I here you. I would prefer the 5.2l over vr but I happen to have r32 engine/trans laying around. So much cheaper than a 5.2! But for right now I hope to stay on the no issues with engine route. Hahaha
I’m such a procrastinator… Haven’t done anything to my transmission rebuild. Maybe by 2013…
Please color me extremely jealous!!!
Cool picture. I just couldn’t imagine having to clean the beast after.
BUMP! We need an update on the fastest NA RS4.
How’s the transmission rebuild? How’s the car in general? Any more thoughts on the turbo kit?
Thanks!
Haven’t drove it in months now… ( My shop has been crazy busy!!!) Audi actually arrived yesterday with new parts . Now just waiting an JHM diesel 6th… As for a turbo yes it will be a full go at it after transmission . I spoke with CV and he will be tuning it. Obviously ill be doing everything else, fabrication, exhaust, plumbing etc. We will see the out come weather good or bad, lol.
That’s really exciting, can’t wait.
I have a full engine bay and engine scan for your project if it will help you. I was going to be doing the single turbo kit on this car but the project fell through, 2 years ago.
In my planning I found the air box area and a hta3586r to be a good fit.
I’ll never turn any help or anything that’s free!
Thanks!
