E30 engine conversion

[Hibsfan1875]

My mate, is looking to buy a cheap e30 and put a supercharged audi engine in it. after looking at my e30 he recons the audi engine will fit as they have the same mounts etc... what do you guys think?

What gearbox????

Why not pick a bmw engine that is meant to drive the right wheels?

I reckon he will be in for lots of $$$$$

if its the passat engine it can be fitted with a cossie box and the sump needs no moddifying anyway, only thing to change would be the oil pump as there shite

[Dezzy]

Custom prop and what diff?

I think there must be an easier cheeper way of getting good bhp?

[blitz877]

can still use an e30 diff and yeah custom prop possibly cossie front and 325 rear

Is this a 1.4 tsi? I can't think of any other supercharged audi off the top of my head.

its from the audi a4. he likes to be difficult. he bought a shite estate subaru and tuned it out its nut just to piss off his boss who had a rally spec scooby. funny as when he turned up in it with the shitest home paint job and a bhp printout. nut job. but he is an genius when it comes to this sort of thing.

vag 1.8t then easy job passat sump, bellhousing to take a ford type 9 box of the shelf the rest is fabrication

The type 9 box is an agricultural beast now though. I remember my xr4i felt like you were trying to ingauge a plough or something to get in reverse. Couyld you not use an MT75 like they do on the boa/bob cosworth conversions?

[e21Jason]

Any box that fits a type 9 bolt pattern which i think the mt75 does plus a whole owrld of aftermarket boxes and ratio's
