Lovely Kleinwagen, >I have a 93 T4 (eurovan for usa folks) and also own a 94 Audi S4 (2.2 litre, 5 >cyl, 20 valve, 60C intercooled turbo, 217 hp, 300+ Ft-lbs Quattro-MONSTER). >Although I am a bit unclear about some of the development history, I believe a >5000CS Turbo Quattro, and 200 Quattro were similarly equipped. The 5000 is just a renamed 200 (in the early 80th) and basically same. >The Question: >IF (note big if) a complete engine were available, or a head (would the crank >pulley on a T4 drive a 20 valve head with the right belt?) could such a >contraption be forced under a 95 or earlier bonnet? Has ANYONE been known to >have tried this in North Americal or elsewhere? The basics of both engines, Audi 5 Cyl. and T4 5 Cyl., are same. There are some modifications because of the different engine compartment, specially a different intake manifold. But using T4 5 Cyl. accessories and an Audi core will make a swap possible. >The conversion is of interest to me...especially since the soon to be released >T4's in the States don't seem to have what I want.....TDI-Synchro Executive >(long wheel base, Leather, dual air)...As currently being assembled and >offered in Taiwan. The T4 is assembled in Taiwan, too? Very interesting. Helmut '80 Camper
