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
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.
@@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! ) 😹😹😹
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.
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 👍
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Hey man, FYI the AAN engine is coming from the S4, not the RS2. You might have problems with fitting the stock intake manifold of the AAN next to the watercooler of the UrQuattro, because the S4 does have more room in front of the engine. The RS2 engine does have a different intake manifold, which snakes around in front of the watercooler sitting next to the engine. Just so you know!
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...
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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....
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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.
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! :)
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
Welcome to VAG! “Special” tools at every turn. You’ll learn to appreciate and love it. In due time. Stop thinking it’ll be a BMW 😘 So stoked you went AAN 20V!
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
Okay, since you bought a 20V engine, you should know one thing - the heads have a tolerance for cracking between the valves and the spark plug. So if you open it and cry because it's cracked, don't worry about it too much. You can either get it welded up, or just forget about it. It's technically not considered a fault, even though it 100% feels like one
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.
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.
This is going to be a solid Audi build! For a second when Mike was leaning on the hand cart, I thought he was leaning on a Shelby Cobra roll hoop and got prematurely excited. Lol
Gotta a lot of cleanup ahead of you, but it's gonna be sick! I'm all for crazy engine swaps but this is definitely a car that it's iconic status is partially tied to it's engine. It's going to sound absolutely killer and I'm ready to dive headfirst into being way too invested into this build as well (as much as I can be from this side of the screen!)
I was nervous when I saw this flash up - so pleased you stuck with the 5cylinder it would have been a shame to loose that soundtrack. Super pumped for this build!
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!!
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.
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 🇩🇪
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
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!!

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
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.
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.
This channel deserves way more subs. The quality of work you do and how unique these builds are stands out from the crowd.
I've always loved the older Quattro... Kinda jealous of this build bro... Get after it!
Stoked on the engine choice, more stoked on the music choice. Yomoti for the win!

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.
That’s the right choice. The 5 cilinder from the RS2 is great.
Happy on the engine choice, 5cyl is always the answer
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!
Yessssss homie nothing beats keeping the best sound ever made in a car. This build is gonna be crazy!!
So excited for this series! As a major Audi fanboy it is so cool to see a high quality Quattro build!
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.

Yay, AWD conversation! It’s getting my juices flowing just thinking about 😎
Okay, since you bought a 20V engine, you should know one thing - the heads have a tolerance for cracking between the valves and the spark plug. So if you open it and cry because it's cracked, don't worry about it too much. You can either get it welded up, or just forget about it. It's technically not considered a fault, even though it 100% feels like one

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.
If you don't like cramped spaces steer clear of 911 too, especially the aircooled stuff

Although a VR6 swap would have been cool to watch someone build, the 20v turbo is the best choice!!!
Clutch master cylinder nightmare bro just saying lives ontop of the steering column doe lol watching with interest much respect
You made the only right choice my man, can't wait for the results.
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 🇩🇪
Well done , anything else would be an injustice to this classic car
this quattro is way cooler than the ferrari imo, also glad to see you keeping a 5 cylinder in the car, super excited to see what this turns into.
as soon as I saw the chosen engine for the swap I was instantly like 'oh, you genius'. Keeps it Audi and the 5cyl heritage!
I am really happy that you will change the engine without changing it👍
