Audi A4 BAT - Quattro Project by Tom's Garage

[Raarasutra]

You know what they say... The only things in life you should regret aren't the things you did, but the ones you DIDN'T do.

So when the idea of an engine transplant occured to us, this moment would come.

It is a sad moment. And I was not happy doing it.



Especially while I was seeing all the effort and time put into this project, written all over the quality and condition of parts I was removing.

All of the parts to follow will propably go for sale, however I dont know if I will make subjects in classifieds and all. Maybe on ebay. If not locally we shall see.

If anyone is interested, you know me, you know how to find me and let me know what you might want.


First I removed the brains of the car, to make it feel no pain I guess.



First boost pipe came off





CF Engine Cover



Dump Tube



PTE 6262 in excellent condition and TiAL 44mm





Another boost pipe



Engine bay started to look empty as time went by



Because this was removed as well

Custom Intake Manifold with AEB/AGU runners and R32 76mm Throttle Body











Fuel Rail with Injectors







RS4 Grilles could now be fitted , just to say I installed something today, and not only removed - LoL







Exhaust Manifold was removed too



head was also removed, as a whole, nothing unbolted from it



and then we saw the state of the engine. Here is where it gets really interesting.

To tell you the truth, I should be very happy to see what I saw with Tom. An engine so clean from everyday use, from pulls with high boost, revving, and yet, like it was new. I should be happy. But I wasnt really, cause I am sad to let this engine go. I wish I could say, screw it, I will throw it on my MKV Golf.

Then I will need a 3rd car, a new daily to do it. I hope I dont go that way, and install the engine on the Golf.
But you never know sometimes, do you

More pictures tomorrow, as I hope to do some more work on the engine bay

Cheers everyone

Which is better?

So the Audi, is now, with no wheels, due to this happening . . . .













OZs will go for sale propably, all 5 of them I guess, so I am on the hunt for another set of wheels for the Audi. We shall see.

oh my god, it's incredible. This is the greatest job.I read the whole thread. My day was fine.

[TEASY]

Amazing pictures!
Great country!
...party on!

[mgpdoc]

So, it has been nothing but fun these past days. Travelling here and there. Some pics that I have uploaded while I found a network to play with .





















No matter the road, the Golf has done great so far, like a champ. I love this car. I really do. The fun is not over yet. Summer in Greece lasts for a good while.



Cheers

Last night, we had some time to play with Tom with the 2JZ, and thought why the hell not.



These came off first



Bye bye exhaust cam





Aggresiveness





Pile of parts was getting bigger



It also had this on it



And then this, had to come off







Yummy on engine condition





Tom inspected the engine block, which was actually brand new, even had the pattern on the cylinder walls



3.0 Love



Cheers everyone.

[loekaaz]

lol. Golf with Fart Can... Interior combo is wicked though

[mgpdoc]

. . . . meanwhile . . . the daily is ready for another roadtrip







Love it, actually.

[mgpdoc]

So.

Had some time on the car before summer time in greek beauties

Fixed an issue here for not cutting myself while working

Before



After



Interior-wise



Bye bye roof



A-pillar on



And then I threw on the door cards so as to get them out of the crowded garage



it's all in the detail







Then Tom came to inspect the engine we chose, and as you can easily tell, it was removal-of-things-time









So damn clean and fresh



Then, I did some more work today



I like em in six'es



Then I removed the engine loom so as to work more comfortably on the engine





Overnight things from Japan





Yeap



Much better :wave: :doublesho



Time for the other VC removal



So nice they are separate





Keepin it clean



More work tomorrow



Did quite some work without even knowing it



Cheers
