The Project Pad

My name is Stefan and I come from Germany.
I've always driven an Audi 80 and the spring of 2011 I bought an Audi 80 B4 Quattro sedan from 1st hand.

The vehicle was original and full service history.
By the fall of 2012, I had the car completely converted.

It was rebuilt many un the sedan got new paint (original color).

- S2 bumper
- RS2 side skirts
- RS2 mirror
- S2 Avant wheel hub front and rear (5x112)
- S2 Sedan Leather interior
- 3-spoke steering wheel
- H & R Coilovers
- Fox stainless steel exhaust system
- And much more.

Some parts I took of my previous injured sedan.

In the winter of 2012/2013 I have my brake system rebuilt.
At the front, I built 6 piston Porsche Cayenne calipers with 360mm discs and 330mm at the rear wheels with S6 calipers.

In the winter of 2013/2014 I have rebuilt rims to 18 "Avus. There were also racing springs for my H & R coilover suspension.
A Delta CC from '99 Audi Cabriolet and carbon bars found their way and I got taillights US

Now, the sedan was perfect for me. Only there was a lack of engine power to me.

In 2013 I bought a S6 + C4 engine wiring harness. In between, but then came to me to build in a S2 ABY engine also important to consider.

In the fall of 2013 I got from a good friend, a Quattro rear window

In the fall of 2014, I came by chance to a low 4.2l engine ABZ it.

Yes and that is also my current project



























































These were now images I could find.
Now, however, the first pictures of the V8 conversion
























More detailed images follow this evening.
Currently, the engine is removed again, the installed S8 flywheel and this week I verbaue still a 01E transmission.

Furthermore, even the S6 + engine wiring harness must be routed and connected. My engine control unit receives a S8 software

In the course of this month I still verbaue new cylinder head gaskets and a new timing belt.

This looks amazing! Very clean and well done.

super!

That Shot Tho.....

bravo! Typically V8 swaps dont excite me the way big turbo conversions do, but goddamn this thing is absolutely top notch OE quality! im in love with it. What color is that? Its awesome.

nice!! welcome

Beauty! You even have a 55 Chevy.

Welcome Stefan! I'm the guy that sold you tail lights, welcome to this forum!

This guy should be your best friend Dave! He goes through wheels like you do!

great looking car do you have more pictures of the brake setup and pictures of the mounting brackets?

Beautiful car!

I especially like the 18" Avus wheels.

This wheel setup kills it - the others are nice too... winning all the way around really.

Welcome - nice car, well done and can't wait for updates

Looking great Stefan! Turn that oil cooler over so the inlet and outlet are at the top- as it is, it will trap air and be less effective than it could be.

That's a '56 BTW. The turn signals are part of the grill in this year. It was my obsession/dream car when I was 8 years old. Beautiful work and nice range of cars!

Fantastic B4Q!

Looks exactly right. Total OEM instal look. Love the color, stance and attention to detail.
Good way to present yourself here.

Wish I could find LZ9U (volcano gray?) paint here in Thailand. Had it on my 80 in Netherlands.

First of all thanks for all the nice words

Since the question of the color came ... It is LY9Z Phantero black metallic.

The rear lights are in good hands, Dave

Pictures of the caliper adapters I still have. Do they just look at the hard drive.

Kirk, we have the selfsame oil cooler installed in an S2 on the site. It works perfectly
But at the plight of these is again added.

Pictures to come. Unfortunately, I was very busy last week.
I will try to create it today evening.

Now I have for you a few pictures from the reconstruction


First, however, is a picture from last season. I love the picture





A new set of wheels is also available and is now even more prepared. The Avus remain natural.





In September 2014, I have the rear brake rebuilt again. 330x22mm with B7 S4 caliper. The holders come from S6 V10.





To see here. S6 + C4 flywheel, down pipes, vacuum tank and coolant hose.





The built engine holder of 6mm steel. Thanks to a friend for the time.







V6 harness left, S6 + C4 harness in the middle, ABZ harness right.





Again, the oil cooler with built holder.





01E FTF gear from the 2.5l V6 TDI with RS2 shift linkage.





After removing the automatic guide sleeve, I could mount the 6-speed flywheel






Finally, 6 speed
The holders are from a friend. There are replicas of aluminum.







After I checked the compression (13 to 14 bar on all cylinders), I am now even replace all gaskets, replace the timing belt and the water pump and mounting a new clutch.






The worst is yet ... the engine wiring harness (I hate electrics)

The engine control unit is the tuner and the water cooler is manufactured yet to measure.

Those transmission mounts look great!

What driveshaft did you use for this conversion with the O1E?

The car looks absolutely stunning.

I have installed a cardan shaft from the RS2.

It is long that I have written here. Unfortunately, I lacked the time :(
However, in the meantime, the rebuilding is completed

In winter I would like to develop the engine again and exchange all poetries, camps etc.

First once videos of the week-end and of course the video of the first engine start
I am the man in front in the engine

Now, however, still during the rebuilding resulted pictures.


Here the built elbows with S6 + C4 to trousers pipes.




However, there were also some new details for the interior



Also the new rims BBS were allowed already on the vehicle.



Now, finally, it could go to the friend on the stage. Exhaust gas arrangement build



Now, finally, it could go to the friend on the stage. Exhaust gas arrangement build
Means and final silencers come from the S4 B5 Biturbo with 2x60mm pipe guidance.







Without further ado I have still changed the final pipes. It should look original





Now, finally, the water cooler could be also inserted and the lines be laid.
The management behind the engine to the balance container is an own construction. I have pictures of it, unfortunately, none.






Here one well sees the fans and the oil cooler.





Now, finally, he could roll. Unfortunately, the reverse gear did not want yet how he has to go.

Ready assembled





The interior is in such a way as he should always be. Finally, in comparison to before, the front door disguising is new (without loudspeaker hole).
And also from the outside I like him very well





Finally I can say, the right decision a V8 was to be obstructed in the B4Q
Tonally and Driving-technically the whole one harmonises very well

Video please

On the left to the YouTube video are on top in it
Unfortunately, this has with him do not embed here functioned :(

At the end of the season there are still professional pictures of my sedan.

There were no changes. However, now again the Avus rims are installed. In my opinion the perfect rims.

In retrospect, the conversion to V8 was really worth it. Any ride with this vehicle is an experience

Now I just let the pictures speak …

this car is amazing....
