He Swapped a Twin Turbo V8 and V10 into Audi S4s!

[@AMdrew]

That Wide body b5 is out of this world. It's pure perfection.

[@thestigseuropeancousin7941]

For real tho, thats gotta be a B5 dreamcar

[@ordersforsplitdogs4315]

Agreed

[@noaht5191]

Dude is humble, but hes low-key an audi genius, and he knows his stuff. He should be building cars like this for a living. Id love to pick his brain about what kind of swaps and manual trans options i can do in my 02 A8.

[@xnotrustx]

That's my man! I am so proud of him & to see all the love on this video is amazing! I can tell him his builds are badass allllll day long but Idk what im talking about. So, to have all of you love these builds, make him (& I) very happy. Dude doesn't know just how much of a badass he truly is. Thanks again for doing this story on him, it was so much fun getting to watch him talk about his builds & share his passion with everyone ❤(& thanks to that cop for not giving him a ticket 😂)

[@MrEltonArendse]

“I know all the flaws and they stick out to me like a sore thumb” Certified perfectionist right here!

[@hatadds]

He is amazing. “I would try try things and they would just work”. His ability to visualize, wow.

[@DannyJ-420]

Yeah but most of us dont have extra parts laying around to just "try thing here and there"

[@Edman116]

Motivation, skill, and ability is the answer to most everything. Hell of a build!

[@charlesclairvoyance]

This is by FAR my FAVORITE episode of Deutsche Auto Parts ever, Mr.Harp is a great dude and I absolutely love his builds - glad to see he's getting that recognition

[@josephaction1138]

Yes, he did that for fun, but he also knows the 2.7 fully built with right turbos would be faster than both of those engines🤷🏽‍♂️✔️💯

[@charlesclairvoyance]

Hahaha, I respect that opinion - but I don't believe that Martin did it to be fast but rather to push the envelope of the chassis and inspire others. @@josephaction1138

[@Janet_Airlines802]

I can’t believe he was able to cram a V10 in there.

[@DuetchJunger]

Im amazed the v8 fit with factory stuff

[@hopingforthebest1.9]

Especially considering how tight even the v6s are in B5s

[@allanon93]

Watch Joel Franciso part of the Audi C4 group.

[@DuetchJunger]

@@hopingforthebest1.9 got that porsche service postion. Step 1. Remove engine

[@lutha1720]

This is brilliant how much mods to fit a v10 in there. I get the v8 was available on that platform so it could be done.

[@quintonulm2435]

That 4.0T is hands down the most beautiful, cleanest build I've ever seen in my life. Hats off to this man, what an artist.

[@DahakaCL]

This is probably one of my top 5 random guys over the internet. The way he joke around about his skills and builds are just so natural, is like watching a friend talk. Great video, there's so much cool swaps and projects that are hidden gems lke this one

[@rdkuffel]

You’re humble. What you’ve done is absolutely incredible. Props!

[@gioelegatti4558]

Pure passion and madness too, but as an IT technician who loves mechanic works too, I can only say that those builds are some of the best I’ve ever heard of!

[@andyid26]

ive owned a B5 S4 and did all the work to upgrade and fix it to a RS4 and this is just amazing work and dedication as its not easy!!! My hats off to him!!

[@markcollins457]

The fact you down play this swap is the reason i stopped for a double take. Your a true gear head. ****Awsome **** Fresh air fender slots like the Mercedes Diesel would be functional and look cool.

[@chrisnigro2492]

I love my B5...I dream of someday even attempting a 4.2 swap. This guy is the new B5 God for sure. Amazing work.

[@alxboca]

That B5 is mechanical nirvana. Lots of love went into that car and it shows. Very well done.

[@Koastah]

Martin is a cool guy. Super friendly and extremely helpful in the B5 groups

[@theassenz]

I have admired this man's work for a long time. Well done, awesome builds!

[@plpGTR]

I love what you did to those chassis. keep it up! 🙂 I myself drive an A4 B5 facelift Avant quattro 1.8T as daily and recently bought his twin as RS4. I just love those cars. They are aging so unbelievably well, it's insane. Such thing as you do here are impossible in Germany. I love that you where born in the right country to live your automotive dreams 🙂

[@DirkOz]

Great to see Martin Harp entertaining & informing all of us. B5 Hall of Fame. Greeting from Australia.

[@Afr0m5n]

The B5 Body with the V10 WOW best of both worlds!!!

[@MiGujack3]

Handling left the chat.

[@BkSMedia]

The swaps are really cool, but the thing that really intrigues me is the technical and engineering side of things, like solving the CV shaft issues, and sniffing for CANBus signals. Rad!

[@lutha1720]

According to the video it's easier if you get c6 s6 wiring harness to get the engine running instead of using canbus convertors

[@Kiss__Kiss]

While people are going to negate my sentiment; This guy is pretty much up there with Porsche's singer. His mastermind is that wild. OEM to the next level(Yes, beyond OEM+).

[@WesM757]

I 100% agree! He could do 4.2, 3.0T, 4.0T swaps!

[@rb26sr]

Oh wow, I'm in love with that widebody 4.0T build! So clean, so simple, but yet quite involved underneath it all. Bravo!

[@Red6er]

Glad to see Martin's work getting the attention it deserves. This dude is a mad scientist of Audi's. Been following is work for months. Props man, awesome to see some good vids of this stuff!

[@TheCluelessEnthusiast]

That b5 v10 is so cool. Looks awesome, sounds awesome. Perfect combo

[@THEMOSTHATED203]

My boy Harp gettin some exposure for Our Cars! Both of those builds are insane man

[@ReydioTube]

Thank you for your service 🖖

[@superradada]

WTF the best swap ever!! I love this B6!

[@FigureItAudi]

Great feature - thanks for giving Martin a place to share his story!

[@WordToMomsYo]

Gorgeous builds.. TWO of them... Great taste, too. All he's missing is a monster 5-cylinder project. 😉 Sometimes the guys who build these things just rub me the wrong way, in which case I wouldn't even pay attention to the video... but he seems like such a decent dude, so I can't help but be happy for the guy for having accomplished some pretty impressive builds.

[@robertking888]

DUDE those things are so sick!!! Unbelievable you got some skills.

[@Jagrupra]

I can listen to this guy talk about cars all day, awesome builds 👍🏼

[@leandroonishi5600]

Thanks youtube algorithm for recomending me this. Sick builds and coverage!

I love listening to people who have such passion about something doesn’t matter if it’s car stuff or not

[@PokeChu0107]

Both these builds are amazing. I've watched both builds from start to finish. Which is never done really. You and Joel are the top swap fab guys in the Audi community.

[@Runneround]

incredible builds. thats exactly 100% my favourite flavour of car enthusiasm. congrats to the builder, I'm in awe.

[@The-truth-is-valuable.]

This is the kind of builds that I like: Clean, underrated, OEM-plus. Factory "look". Very, very, very nice.

This man is my god! Totally underplayed all the lessons learned and trials and tribulations. Its my dream to swap in a V10 but right now I have a 2.7T sitting around that I plan to drop in my B6 A4.

[@PureDriveVibes]

What a craftsmanship, in my opinion this guy is the definition of a carguy

[@HaltonLax44]

Damn. There are few build videos on KZbin that I will watch from beginning to end and be fully interested in. Most of the time these builds have been done and copied many times. These two builds right here are so unique. Absolutely love the fact that he kept the swaps within the same brand. That V10 is sick. Love the fact that it was rear wheel drive. And that 4.0 V8 swap out of the S7 is just an amazing build. When all of the kinks are worked out, that will be one of the best Audi builds of all time.

[@CliffB5A4]

Seen the old one cant believe he built another one, this dude is awesome! B5 are the best!

[@Poorschedriver]

Absolutely insane builds. I'm just speechless

[@jayse63amg31]

[@evangarciavdub2361]

This is sweeet! I’m currently in the middle of a swap myself. I’ve got a MK6 Jetta with a 2.5L + 09G, lol, well, I did, the car is gutted now and I’m putting a 3.6L V6 + DSG in place instead.

[@PapiAndrey]

Are you modifying the engine at all? You rarely see 3.6 VR6’s modified like you do with something like a VQ. They seem to pick up solid power with bolt ons and an e85 tune, would be cool to see an NA VR do the same. That along with rwd conversion would be awesome in the Jetta

[@evangarciavdub2361]

@@PapiAndrey There’s not a lot of love for the 3.6.. lol, minimal aftermarket since people can pull more out of turbo motors. I’m likely just gonna tune it and that’s about it. ..but we know how that goes.. “yeah I’ll leave it like that” < then all of the sudden your car is completely something else >

[@twentieth_r]

When I think of Audi enthusiasts, Martin Harp certainly comes to mind. You guys should have Joel Francisco on with his V10 URS6 build after he finishes his twin turbo set up!

[@Deutscheautoparts]

We made a video with Joel linked below would love to check it out again with the turbos! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2rKhYaXetWEjKM

[@LLubdeRr]

The amount of hours he had to spent to fit those big ass engines into those enginerooms that were definiteley not build for such big engines... you have to have some serious skills to make such things happen.

Sooooo many hours & late nights in the garage or at the shop working on these bad boys. He's got serious skills & a very understanding GF 😂

It sucks that Audi never made a B5 coupe...would've been even more epic to see this build as such. In any case, I recently found and started following Martin's work and how surprised I was to find this video just uploaded. 😂 Thanks, guys! Awesome work, Martin! Much success to you! 😎👍🏻

[@kristoffer3000]

I've never even thought about that but it would look so damn cool as a coupe.

[@Roddy_Zeh]

​@@kristoffer3000 I've seen a few renditions on the web and it didn't feel right, but I guess it was because the roofline was similar to the sedan. A coupe needs to have a slightly lower roof, windshield with a steeper angle. I don't know if you ever seen, but Audi produced a single A8 D2 Coupe in the 90's, a project co-made with IVM Automotive. A roofline following that design would've been perfect for a B5 Coupe, I think.

[@kristoffer3000]

@@Roddy_Zeh Yeah, I googled it to see if someone had made some renders and none of them looked right, they mostly just removed the rear doors and called it a day. Slapping the first gen A5 roof on it would look great.

[@aluminumfalcon552]

Wow, both really sweet builds. I’m a MQB fan myself. I’m hoping to one day put a DAZA (RS3 5cyl) or the HPA VR550T in my Alltrack. I was thinking the other day it would be cool to strip down an alltrack or sportwagen and put a 5.2 with the R8 transaxle in the back, pretty much build it into a supercar in a wagon shell.

[@PapiAndrey]

2.5t vr6 is cooler and more fitting than the ea855, though the Hpa version will probably as much as the car or more. Better off buying a crate engine yourself and modifying it yourself. Even if you had a tuner do it for you, it would be cheaper than going through hpa, only thing is no warranty

[@aluminumfalcon552]

@@PapiAndrey I know that innovative motorsports has successfully done the RS3 swap in and Alltrack and I love the 5-cyl, but it IS more than the car. Still cheaper than buying an RS3 outright. I also have a spare 1.8 engine that I may throw a 2.0 crank, forged pistons and rods and upgraded valves into it, I could make close to the same power and would be less expensive, but you can’t beat the VR6 or inline 5 sounds and greater potential.

[@noiztrauma]

Next one needs to be a V10 TFSI swap 😁 and hats off to you for these great projects!
