URS6 + RS6 = URRSS66 Avant?

[jolio1994]

Figured I was going to make my way over here sooner or later so...

-1995.5 S6 Avant
-C5 RS6 BCY Engine
-Stock Motronic 7.1.1 / Harness
-Steveken Adapter
-Ringer Racing Stage 4+ Clutch
-Top Mount Single Turbo (The more I look into it the more I want to run a T72/T76)
-Hellcat Fuelpump

*Stock injectors for now, will max out around 600hp. 1000cc later down the road once I get it running and driving

This beast of an engine had 282,000 miles on it, but since I sold my RS6... it would only make sense to have the BCY heart put into another Audi. Joy

Messy as f*ck

Got that BCY bug... 7hr's round trip to Pennsylvania.

And another 6hr's to New York to buy a 2.7T 01e parts car (Yup, drove her back.. just don't stall it. The starters no bueno).

God I dreaded cleaning this, but it's all I can do while I wait for the adapter kit...

And now we wait... the N/A 40v exhaust manifolds are on there way and should show up by the end of this coming week ALONG with the SteveKen Adapter Plate Kit. I'll then matte (?) up the 4.2 to the 01e in the car, set the driveshaft/trans angle, and fabricate some engine mounts!

This is going to be AWESOME! Will be following closely - hope everything goes smoothly (As can be expected)

[PRY4SNO]

As mentioned elsewhere, this is going to be a beast. Can't wait to see this thing rip around.

[jolio1994]

I am foreseeing a multitude of issues, but I'll hold off on spilling the beans until I get the adapter plate and engine in the car.

Everything so far has a workaround, but damn, the cost is really adding up in my head.

lol. I dont think any of this adds up to a 'cheap build'. I hope thats not a shock

rooting for you. done right this car will rip.

[jolio1994]

The adapter plate has been lost in shipping (thanks UPS), all you had to do was ship it from Pennsylvania to New Jersey and you f*cked it up. Still trying to push ahead to get a better understanding of what I need.
-Those 40v NA headers I bought aren't going to work so It'll have to be tubular coming up from the side of the heads into a 4-1 collector on either side.
-Going to need some really really small engine mounts and while I'll be using the stock engine mount bracket points on the chassis, they're pretty much going to be laying on the subframe above the swaybar.
-Coolant crossover needs to be cut so I can route it away from where the exhaust manifold will come up.

Placement isn't finalized and will change slightly, but this is where I stand (for the most part)

A few fellow enthusiast tagged me in a FB group when this engine was offered for sale. After some talking with the owner I ended up buying the whole car minus fenders, front bumper, seats, brakes, and carbon trim. The rest is still there and aside from the engine/harness/ecu will be for sale in the near future. I'm going to see if a delicately placed cut in the stock RS6 exhaust manifold will allow me to route up the back of the head as a last last resort to clear everything, if not the Stainless will be the direction I go, thanks for the input!

I'll be picking it up this weekend and I swear school seems like it's slowing down, maybe I'll even get the adapter plate in (still lost) and can finally make head-way on this URS6!

Picked up that RS6 last night and pulled the engine out today. URS6 progress is at a standstill until I can get that adapter plate in. Now I have an extra BCY 4.2 for when I blow up the O.G. one!

Adapter plate came in today... I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend!

It kinda fits! Had to cut out the subframe, but it's in there! Practiced making an engine mount bracket and it came out pretty damn good I think. Full penetration on the first practice piece, it's solid as a rock. Yes I know I need more practice, but hey this entire project is a first for me. I'll be moving the plate down 2" on the final piece to add a bushing but:
A. I'm still looking for something suitable (Any mounts that would work given the clearance would be greatly appreciated)
B. I just need something to begin tubular header and turbo mock-up.

If you can fit that thing in.... it will be a miracle itself. but it will rock!


What cart/dolly is this?

Thank you

It's actually the base for a laundry cart we use at my job. It supports 2000lbs and we throw them away like it's nothing, so I decided to re-use it.

I finished up the passenger side mount, and the engine is all bolted down and what not. Now to wait for Black Friday turbo sales and hopefully even an exhaust manifold kit sale.

Mini update.

Driverside manifold is tact'd up. If the passenger side comes out any better I may end up redoing it. It's a step in the right direction.

That's gonna lag quite a bit with such huge pipe size... And I was really hoping you were joking about turbo above the hood. Props for doing this swap but it would be a shame to madmax a clean car like that.
