Engine-Swapping An Audi Quattro - Street Car Build Ep. 1

[@pault8591]

im so happy you stuck with the 5cyl!!!!! 700-1k HP, here we come.

[@cordite7207]

Stoked on your engine choice, that Quattro has quite the pedigree behind it, from the 4wd system that it gets it name from to its Rally history. I'm super keen to see where exactly you go with this. Keeping the cars look and design intent and making it reliable with modern stuff is right down my alley

[@stanceworks]

It’ll be a very purist-friendly build for anyone but the folks that say I should leave it alone. I want to bring it up to modern standards with standalone, all modern turbo components, etc.

[@joshgroth]

@@stanceworks answered what I was looking for. Modern EFI on this baby..can't frickin wait!

[@AmirPomen]

@@stanceworks go ahead... As long as it sticks true to audi for most parts.. (As long as it still howling the same 5cylinder, turbo flutter, and fireballs from the exhaust and wastegate dump! ) 😹😹😹

[@1234567890CAB]

Just an FYI, there's a difference between Four Wheel Drive (4WD) and All Wheel Drive (AWD). The main difference is that 4WD is selectable and usually locks the front and rear axels together, while AWD is always on and there's a diff or other mechanism between the front and rear axels to divide the power and allow for some slip. Of course there are some exceptions to that rule but the practical difference between them is that 4WD is typically for trucks and other off road vehicles for driving in the dirt, while AWD is typically for cars and road driving on asphalt.

Super excited 😆 go go go!!!!

[@Sauerbrew777]

The Audi 5cyl is one of the best sounding engines ever made! Excited for this project! ✌

The volvo 5 cyl is pretty nice with the sounds too. It's pretty much built into the format.

Awesome choice! I did that exact swap back in 2011. Bolt on, use the motormount från the 10v and a 3b flywheel and it be a bolt-on. Mine did 450hp @ 1bar of boost and slightly above 700hp @ 2,2bar. Forged internals, 7a cams and headwork with a 70mm turbo, 1200cc injectors and e85 👍

[@bay7695]

Gotta love the swedish inputs in 5-cyl builds.

[@devil2jz500]

Man I’m excited for this build. I just picked up an 07K 5 cyl for my Sportquattro project.

[@saltygenx2743]

You won't lose your hardcore base. I happen to like channels like this and have no preference on builds. You build what you want and I will watch it.

[@raheslop]

So glad you’re sticking with an Audi inline 5, as it’s such a big part of the car’s personality

[@jotighe2]

I totally ignored your channel until you stopped working on the ferrari. thank heavens that finally ended. and now, real content. thank you.

[@gnrrpreacher]

I am a hardcore URQ guy. Thank you for keeping it Audi. 01E is mint! Love this!

[@roxburndi]

I'm not a purist and I like seeing creative conversions but in the case of the Quattro I think you made the BEST choice! Those 5 cylinders sound amazing!

[@justkiddin1980]

I KNEW IT!!! MY MAN!!!! 20 valve 5 cylinders is the way to go!!! You might want to check out some german and swedish car channels...Because tuning the sound can be important...imo the best sound is only with rear damper with baffles...Man this will be cool...

[@TheRealTomLauda]

I came because of the 308, i stayed because of your style. At this point, i don't care the build you choose to do, i know i will learn a ton. The engine choice is perfect, i can't wait to watch the engine rebuild !

[@fvpaquetqc]

Happy on the engine choice, 5cyl is always the answer

[@soupfork2105]

Oh this just keeps getting better and better! Had the privilege of driving a blue RS2 Avant on a de-restricted parts of the German Autobahn. That engine is mad.

[@ericdevries8813]

Amen! 5 cilinder is top notch, I'm driving a 5 cilinder Volvo and it's the BEST

[@thor3105]

I am SO happy you are going 5 cylinder on this thing. 1. because it is just the right choice for this car and 2. because I think in some ways, at least for people not that in to Audis or German cars it is a somewhat underrated engine. Looking forward to seeing this become a nice clean example of a Quattro.

[@kyj565]

Resto mod is definitely the way to go with this. We all love modified stuff but with something of this status I think making a big difference with lots of smaller improvements is 100% the way the go.

[@janmartens7954]

The K20 was a perfect decision, this one is even better!. Thank god you keep the front heavy 5 cylinder config, it is perfect!

[@jean-leondupuy-goldsworthy5439]

Yessssss! So glad you’re sticking with the 5Cyl AAN, sounds like a mini V10 and is one of my favourite engines ever.

[@cmx49]

Did the full on Johnny Drama Victory when you unveiled the engine. So stoked you're keeping an Audi power plant, and even more so that it'll be the righteous spiritual successor - another 5 cyl. As a VW / Audi guy at heart, I've always been a big fan of the OEM+ path that so many around the community choose to follow. Totally un-obvious to the casual observer, but IYKYK. Really looking forward to this!

[@posniknelb6114]

That's is exactly the right engine for this car. With soom good modification, you can have a safe 400 Bhp plus car. Good usable power and reliability is key here.

[@nik_lee79]

Awesome choice, I am so so glad you are sticking with the 5cyl and really looking forward to more Audi content.

[@aeskellion]

This series makes me so happy Mike, the Quattro is one of my favorite cars ever, and the I5 one of my favorite engines. Love the video quality of your channel as well. This is going to be awesome.

[@stanceworks]

Thanks a ton Marco!

[@scuderianorreno]

Double thumbs up for the choice of swap! Had an Audi Coupe Quattro 20V, the naturally aspirated version (7A engine) of the S2, and it sounded glorious at 7k rpm.

[@EvanAxer]

Honestly you are doing the right swap. 5cyl sound awesome and 500whp on an old quattro will blow doors off most modern sports cars. Crazy how many hurdles you'd have to over come just to put any other than original engine in these.

[@draggonhedd]

i am SO HAPPY you kept a 5 cylinder in this thing. You could have gone with an 07K too, which is the cheaper newer 5 cylinder and theres a lot you can do with em, but they have their shortcomings too, the 20v you found is a plenty good option and i cant wait to see it go in.

[@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo]

What exactly are the short comings? I know IROZ motorsports uses the VW 07k blocks for their crazy builds...... An all stock 07k can reliable make 400 hp max. Which is pretty impressive since that engine was used for basic vehicles....

[@olaflange8210]

07k is shorter lighter and makes just as much power. I haven’t heard anything bad besides belt slip.

[@draggonhedd]

@@olaflange8210 didn't they have cam chain issues? or was that fixed

[@woznaldo]

Yep, that 5 cylinder sound is pretty special. I’ve always been a little triggered by the weight in front axle but, Audi made handle reasonably well. Swedes have been doing crazy things to these cars for years!

[@billtruett8593]

Glad you stuck with traditional Audi amazing car amazing pedigree and a monster of an engine.

[@scottshipley]

I'm so glad to see you're sticking with a Audi 5 cylinder engine. Looking forward to the videos on this project

[@canned__meat]

I don't know who you've got to have a chat to about these vehicles, their mechanics and setup but, the nords have some INSANE modern builds and seemingly the know-how to get them going hard and keep them there. A couple of race teams over there have them (I watched a few during Gatebil 100 a few years ago). If nothing else, another potential source of real world knowledge and advice at your disposal.

[@jdwxly]

As a car nut, serious amateur photographer, and future project car builder I have to say your channel ticks ALL of the boxes for me. Cool projects, great level of detail, educational, and beautifully photographed. The smoky shop shots and the Rembrandt lighting on the intro/outro were awesome! Please keep doing what you do.

[@dreadog6425]

I had one of these in college (1976) NOBODY knew what it was. After the Pikes peak performance I was hooked. I have owned 6 Audis since

[@Ottienger]

20v 5 cyl is amazing. German muscle motor right there. Know someone that had a urs4 with a 20v turbo and the thing was a beast. Glad you are keeping it true to its roots

[@GT_1421]

The rs2's came with the ADU I believe, the AAN you have there would have come from a urs4/6. Fantastic engines to drive. Strange powerband and lots of boost to get not a lot of power but it's still the engine I most regret selling.

[@thestreets5206]

There's nothing to take about, those engines spunk 1000-1500hp for fun and stay together 👍👍👍

[@speedlover7823]

I’m so so glad your keeping the 5cyl !!! I grew up loving the general lee Audi on here.

[@tapeixtes]

Correct engine choice for the car, you never disappoint. Great taste you have.

[@ianbrusso]

While crazy engine swaps are what brought me to your channel, I totally agree with the choice to maintain the audi-ness of this car. The 5 cyl is indeed one of the coolest sounding engines ever IMO. Keep up the great work!

[@vwecco1]

This is and will be an incredible car! I have a non-Quattro, no turbo, FWD, 2.3, with 130 or so HP, it is super fun, surprisingly fast for what it is.

[@olliebrown89]

Gonna be great to see you bring that engine and transmission back to their full glory. It's going to be a beast when it's done.

[@4real681]

Bro i jumped up and down when you revealed the new 5cyl. I prayed to god that nothing wrong comes in there and this 5cyl is the best of the suiting engines bro i love you im so hyped for this build, my favourite car since ever dawg thank you

[@dubs4life7]

100% agree, the AAN is the only real choice for that car, and probably one of the single best sounding engines ever. I have been talking about doing an AAN swap for years. I think I will end up doing a full DAZA/Quattro swap into somthing really obscure.

[@adamk3390]

Views won't drop off Mike, even the 'wordy' bits are a great.. keep on going. Love the direction you take on your builds, true to yourself

[@fbk3067]

This is just pure awesomeness, finely tuned like an orchestra. If you need some guidance or have any questions please hit me up. I've done probably 20 of these swaps specifically and have restored, top to bottom, a bunch of urquattros, coupe quattros, 80/90/4000's, etc. Thanks for the urq vids! :)

[@Duell-850R]

That’s the right choice. The 5 cilinder from the RS2 is great.

[@HuckThis1971]

I just sold my 1994 Audi UrS4. Best years for Audi in my opinion. The AAN is probably one of the most reliable engines out there. I have never seen an engine pull to red line without running out of breath. You can get 1000 hp easy out of these blocks.

[@triggatrey42]

just keep building, real people respect any all builds!! you are doing great!

[@alansmith7121]

Loved the ,"Bozzy," nod!!! Love the choice!!! Thank you sir

[@shaunc8189]

Not a lot of cars do you think keeping it same brand but your right in saying this is one of those builds that’s needs to be done this way

[@cmirwin]

Yeah! I'm looking forward to this build. I can live vicariously through it, as I have wanted an 5 cylinder Audi since the first time I heard one.

[@pbpinftworth]

I've loved the Honda Swapped Ferrari build. I'm a GIGANTIC Audi fan. I can't wait to see what you do with this Quattro. I'm glad you went Audi 5cyl, but was truly hoping for a DAZA. I absolutely love my 2018 RS3 Stage 2 tuned.

[@desmorider944]

Outstanding! Great that your keeping the Audi 5 cylinder heritage. It will be a beast with that mesmerising Audi roar. Look forward to watching the build progress. Thumbs up from Sydney AUS. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@filipecamargo69]

Thank you for keeping its most beautiful characteristic

[@johnjoseph911]

quattro gets a 100% thumbs up from me and that engine keeps it a smart build

[@yvanflodin]

YES! just perfect! If i ever have to do a swap , i'm the ''stick to the same brand'' type of guy. Im not the dude who will dislike the ferrari because its not my way of thinking, the project is just aweome!! But there, this fits my mind a bit more! Btw theres a french youtuber who posted a video yesterday where he got 800+ hp on this very same engine....looking forward to follow this new project!!

[@vwdrvrfoundat420]

YES...A VAG build...glued to my phone.

[@fomsoner5707]

I was a bit worried about what engine would go in it but, I do think you made the best choice! perfect sound, great engine, awd, and no major changes to the original metal. Also since it won't be a perfect original car you can enjoy it and not worry about driving it. Don't know what wheels you'll use for this but I would like to see some rally inspired wheels too. I'm excited for this!

[@derhare]

It’s the only logical engine choice for these cars other than the 2.5rs engine. Stoked to see what you do with this car. I know you have a sick set of wheels set aside for it as well.

[@Zodicus]

I am so, so glad you went out of your way to keep the 5 cylinder Audi intact. You are absolutely correct in saying that the soul of the Quattro is its engine. There would be no reason to buy a Quattro if it came with anything that isn't the 5 cylinder.

[@That_Ryan_Guy]

Years ago I had a Audi 5 cyl and was sick sounding and performing. Love it dude!

[@Korruptionen]

I'm a Volvo 5 cylinder guy, but am just a 5 cylinder fan in general. Good luck on the swap!

[@andrewbrown9460]

It’s your car and your Chanel so you can do to them whatever you like. I’ll still be watching. 👍

[@sneakuhatx9464]

While it’s not a daza this will be super dope regardless. You made a good choice, the modern stuff is unbelievably expensive as you said. Stoked to love vicariously through you on this project.

[@james31666]

This channel deserves way more subs. The quality of work you do and how unique these builds are stands out from the crowd.

[@yanni1398]

Yay, AWD conversation! It’s getting my juices flowing just thinking about 😎

[@dakavanagh]

Yup, 20v turbo! That's what I would do. I'm with you, Mike!

[@quekapital]

Really digging the choice of upload. I know in the last ferrari video you were asking about how to release content... I think you're nailing it. Looking forward to the Audience journey.

[@jameseli5782]

Soo glad you are sticking with the Audi I5 - that sound is totally worth the effort, and it keeps the manufacturer's DNA while you add your own flair to power plant. Really looking forward to following this build.

[@N037O]

A 3.6 VR would've been sick, you can't go wrong with the 20V 5 cylinder.

[@JoshTHankins]

Although a VR6 swap would have been cool to watch someone build, the 20v turbo is the best choice!!!

[@JacksonODJ]

YES. So glad to see a 5cyl going back in.

[@rekleif]

This is the right engine for sure. If you can get a 2.5l diesel block, you will have the basis for a 1000-1200 hp engine down the road. That's what they do here in Scandinavia. Good luck.

[@carnagefpv8256]

Also, please make sure your 1-2 shift collar is the updated version, and if it isn't, put it in before you put it in the car. Huge pita but not getting locked out of 1-2 is a huge plus

[@jlgibson1983]

Yes! Between this and the Ferrari, I'm super stoked to see them come together! 😎🔥

[@cliftonbarker9168]

YO!!! That’s EXACTLY what I was hoping you were going to put in. We always called that the “subi killer roar” at rally events. And a 6 speed!!! Whoa, I am turning on notifications now bro.

[@luissoto1749]

Yessssss homie nothing beats keeping the best sound ever made in a car. This build is gonna be crazy!!

[@russellhammond4373]

Phew, I'm happy that you are keeping the new engine within the Audi Family. At least there won't be wholesale body changes (including holes) and the original engine could be retro fitted if the prices of Quattros get even higher. Good luck.

[@hyphensclassics]

Awesome choice!! Oh and 27mm, used regularly over this side of the pond!!

[@wilkitcher6960]

Stoked on the engine choice, more stoked on the music choice. Yomoti for the win!

[@protodad1]

Perfect choice. The 5cyl sounds amazing and keeps the rally spirit right in check. The 6 speed is the icing on the cake. Hoping this one gets the same level of detail and “cleanness” that the Ferrari has gotten. Looks like a fantastic base for a really nice daily.

[@lickwidgoat3480]

Thank you for keeping the 5 its so underated i love mine!!!!!!

[@George-zq2sk]

1) love the explanation Mike! quality of the channel is incredible 2) these AAN 20v 5cyl will take endless amounts of abuse def the motor for this car 3) the 01E wow, when you showed that! incredible! def the trans for this car!!

[@stuarthill6330]

Franc Moody are awesome ! Cracking choice! They are just as good live! Soooo good!!!

[@Jerube]

I do not comment on KZbin much, if at all. But I must say I love this! A red ur-quattro is my all time dream car. Leaving that 5-cylinder rumble is a must. I was ready to say I hate your choice for the engine however crazy that would have been. Until I heard you were sticking with an Audi inline 5. Love it! Since it is literally my dream car I’m looking forward for the build. Came here for a Ferarri and I’m staying for the Audi (and the E36, to be honest…) 😁

[@mancavecustoms13]

I'm so so so glad you're keeping a 5 pot in there. The most addictive engine sound ever! I have a stock'ish Volvo c70 with a 5 pot 2.3 Turbo T5 and i'd constantly drive a gear higher than i need to just to make it scream. :D

[@lufo5]

I am really happy that you will change the engine without changing it👍

[@pkt1213]

Best engine choice IMO. I have owned a lot of Audi's but after they added the service position. I love that I can pull the entire front end, including core support off, in 30ish minutes. I bet you'll be over 250k subs by the end of this project.

[@gordonlister4992]

Definitely understand keeping with the OEM 5cyl, as much as I was tempted to swap my SVT Focus when the engine popped I didn't want to kill off another car that is getting rarer by the day.

[@Nihil1st1347]

Go for the in line 5. As You showed it sounds marvelous.

[@Patrick20Valve]

Nice project with the right engine. The main problem on the quattro is the intercooler. No room for it. A water/meth injection can help but it’s not the best solution. Put a aftermarket ecu like MaxxEcu, Emu Black or VEMS on it. This fits many of the problems with not available parts. Best regards from Germany 🇩🇪

[@itstanced]

Keeping it OG. Down with that! Currently watching this video with a TTRS sitting in front of me. 5 cyl vibes.
