MRC doing a C7 RS6 transplant into a B8

Post by **MikeFish** » Thu Jul 21, 2016 6:08 pm

Just seen on Instagram that Doug is about to drop a C7 RS6 power plant into a B8 RS4.
I always thought this was a good idea for the B7, nice to see one going into an RS4, especially with the lack of supercharged B8s.

I saw that as well and started wondering how he'd get the ZF8 in there. Then I read his comment about him retaining the S-Tronic for, in his words, "quick changes".

I can't see that lasting long before the box gets lunched...

I was going to ask about the box. Agreed that's going to be choco unless it's upgraded.

Awesome it will be crazy fast lol, wished out of the factory the b8 was supercharged.

Maybe s-tronic from s6?

Same issue.

Didn't they do a rs6 turbo conversion to an s6 which ran fine

Someone has for sure. It'll run, but that S Tronic gearbox is not designed for that torque so at best you're reducing the lifetime of the box. There's a reason next RS4 is going ZF8.

because its cheaper to buy a ZF8, than custom design and build your own DSG when you've spent all your sweetie money paying fines for being naughty and cheating ...

I doubt MRC are going to do something that doesn't work, i would imagine they know what's what with the G box. Does it state it's going to be bog standard??
