Hi!
Silly thought ahead ... again.
Chatted to my mechanic's brother on saturday. He has
returned from the States where it deals in exotic motors.
He just bought a Audi 90 with 20-valve turbo motor (??)
for $800. It had a burnt out wiring loom, but he replaced
it. I asked how easy it is to get a 20-valve turbo motor
for me. He said not too difficult. He then offered to send
me 10 of them. Including wiring loom. I didn't get a price
for the 1 unit since he left before I asked. It might be
quite cheap as it will most likely be coming from a smashed
car.
Once again my stupid brain went into overdrive and I began
thinking of dropping in a 20-valve turbo in place of my
10-valve MC engine. I have questions now:
1. what are the major engine bay differences between
the Audi 200 with 10-valve MC engine and Audi 200
with 20-valve turbo engine (or other 20-valve motor'd
Audi)?
2. how easy would it be to drop in the 20-valve motor?
3. is there major differences in location of the
brake, cooling and other systems in the engine bay?
Thanks
G.
PS: after an hour of dreaming I decided to just keep my MC
and fix it up as planned, but it all depends on the
availability and possibility of getting myself a 20-valve
into the country. :)
