I want to build a B6 A4 Audi avant Quattro 6speed manual running from an ALH. I found a S4 avant with engine and trans removed and light front end damage salvage title for a decent price.
From my few days of research of plausibility find its possible to mate a ALH to a 01E trans. Found whitbred at one point had a source for Tdi ratios and rebuild on the 01e
what challenges do you see having to overcome to make this a reality? I have a complete parts ALH jetta and second ALH long block. I've found a S4 avant with its powerplant removed. Plus it's a S4 avant. Realistic price point of parts minus fabrication for engine to mate and drive the wheels? I would assume the ALH engine build like 2.0 pistons, h rods, 17 turbo, injectors, 11mm pump, intake manifold, intercooler , and a hot tune would be pretty boss in there. But are limitations to that transmission? I heard the 10X is garbage compared.
Knowing what you know what could I expect to see performance wise from something like that? HP/tq, mpg, 1/4 mile, price for hard parts involved in swap.
Then, other then a wild pipe dream, how much would a S4 avant Quattro Tdi be worth?
Thanks for any information or insight you can provide. Honestly would pretty much be my dream car and would daily the hell out of it. Wagon, diesel, awd, 6sp manual... If it could be built for under $6k not including donor car in seriously considering it.
Cheers
