TomBarker1991 10 Posted March 30, 2017 I would kill for an RS3 lump, but think I might need a chat with the bank manager to finance one haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomBarker1991 10 Posted March 30, 2017 did look but still around the 4-5k mark for one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marks2 0 Posted March 30, 2017 I was going to suggest the 4.2 v8 from the C5 S6. 340 bhp out of the box. Cam belt so none of the issues with the BBK chain driven variant used in the B6 S4. Not sure it will fit though and would need some major fab to convert to RWD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted March 31, 2017 If your looking at things like that how about a 2.7TT from various Audis' Its a fairly compact engine and you could look at single turbo kits. Easily get 400bhp+ out of them. There a few folks putting them in Boxsters now. Main thing would be gearbox to figure out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomBarker1991 10 Posted March 31, 2017 I do look at this as an option as the allroads came with the 2.7T in and can be had quite cheap as for gearbox it would be passat style so would have to try and work out mounting and if the driveshafts would be remotely close to lining up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marks2 0 Posted March 31, 2017 ... if the driveshafts would be remotely close to lining up 2WD, 4WD or RWD? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomBarker1991 10 Posted March 31, 2017 FWD.... trying to avoid chopping the back and centre tunnel out for 4WD or RWD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marks2 0 Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) What about the LS V8's? Edited March 31, 2017 by marks2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomBarker1991 10 Posted March 31, 2017 Didn't think about the LS looked at the 4.0 Lexus V8 lumps as they aren't too unreasonable on price Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerfish 10 Posted March 31, 2017 Didn't think about the LS looked at the 4.0 Lexus V8 lumps as they aren't too unreasonable on price Lots of tuning options for the 1uzfe engine. The vvti 3uzfe is better straight out the box, but less tuning options. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomBarker1991 10 Posted March 31, 2017 Something to look into, I am leaning towards a 2.7T just how to mount it and gearbox options! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted March 31, 2017 Yes, its a stonker of an engine. Sounds awesome as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted March 31, 2017 It fits....I know what to do if the RS gets written off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomBarker1991 10 Posted April 1, 2017 Did some reading on the build thread for that car some absolutely insane fab work in getting it to sit over the RS running gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
