S4 engine into an mk2

[GermanwithaVdub]

does anyone have any experience or know anything about fitting the 2.7biturbo engine from a 2nd gen S4 into an mk2? is this engine still a vr6 style? will it even fit?

thanks, michael.

yes it will fit (with ALOT of work)

i saw a thread somewhere last week someone building one.

ive seen them a mk3 and a passat

seen an S4 wreck and it got me thinking/dreaming

vr6 is almost a straight bolt in minus a little bit of messing about.

An S4 engine would require a lot of fabrication im sure.

the S4 engine is a north south layout compared to an east west of the VR6 engine i believe.... correct me if im wrong here

yes thats right... but the 1.8t in the A4 is longitudinal, it needs to be turned 90 degrees to fit into an mk2 for instance.

i was hoping that on the off chance someone was going to say "yes that engine is simliar to a vr6 bla bla bla" but i guess i was dreaming after all would be an amazing swap though
