alright guys... just wandered inf anyone new how that c5 manual rs4 box build was doing?

im thinking of buying another one and doing a similar thing myself or maybe a diesel a6 box like that recent post!

i dont want to mess to much with mine! as still only 35k

Not the same project, but this shout whet your appetite!

i know i saw this one...

shame about the rear end.... same colour as mine and looks similar apart from im cream leather with blue piping and cream ala head lining..

but i just could not bring myself to frankinstein mine lol

i need a cat c one

im just not sure how i would explain to the misses that i need a second RS6 lol

the potential of a manual rs6 would be awesome! there was another guy on here building a 7-800bhp one i think? if i was going todo it this would what i would do.. not sure the diesel box could take that much power/torque tho..

another thing is when im not driving mine long distance which i never do... im lucky if i get 200 miles from a tank!

this one looks like a tidy job interior looks like a factory manual!

a ha! very tempting!!! im really eager to see how the other guys one does first, i wander how much it would cost me to build one

The issue is the ECU. I think all the manual conversion so far have either used bespoke ECUs or have been S6 engines that have been "turbo'd"

these bespoke ECUs, what sort of price do they come in at? This like the motecs etc? Completeley reprogrammble i take it?

I have no experience of them, I'm afraid. I'm betting that they aren't cheap though And probably difficult to program correctly. Probably not a DIY job.

nice one mate... this is who i wanted to get in touch!.. how long have you been running this setup for? is it reliable? and how many miles from a tank?

approx what was your build cost?

Yeah, but I don't think anyone but Mihnea could have done it

well just come back from a trip to the nurburgring with over a dozen other cars and we all know what the drive there is like let alone the track ! and it didnt miss a beat !
if you gassing it then the fuel does go down somewhat quickly but it is doing around 15 mpg at a constant hundred mph or thereabouts.
as for project cost...........

nice one dude!... you are tempting me very much with this... i was eager to find out how it all went as i knew this was a long term plan for me

i might take a different tack and aim for 700-800bhp on autogas , but i dont think i dare do it to mine..

Nice to see the old girl again, looking well Paul.
