Only the Biturbo-system costs about € 22.000... But that is not all, you need new brakes and the gearbox must get stronger, alltogether the bill is about € 35.000, without new rims, a new suspesion or any optics...

Get a Phaeton Engine installed in your RS4 ... you can't beat a bit of W12 power ... then get quadruple turbo set up!

It's no use doing these things these days unless you are going to be the first! Be a trend setter Steve! [img]images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

The W12-engine of the Phaeton or Audi A8 is much to heavy and to big for a RS4. It makes no sence to install that engine in a small car. Buy the way, the RS4-engine can be tuned much better and higher, than the W12...

[s6plus]

but a tuned rs4 engine will fit in a s6plus.....

but than you will miss that lovely v8 sound [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Never I would do that... A RS4 is a funcar, but not for dailey use.

I was being sarcastic!

Besides ... Big engines in small cars?

"Makes no sence?"

Are you sure about that? Cause these old boys fitted 2 VR6 turbo engines, each 2782cc, into this MK3 Golf!

Actually ... look at Dubsport Past Projects and you'll see many much smaller cars being fitted with large V6 engines!

[Marc]

That´s something diffrent, two engines in a small car is much better, than only one heavey in the front... Once I had a chance to drive a BRABUS SLK V8, that was terrible -> really no fun!

[s6plus]

Marc, an other word for those Brabus cars is........BURNING RUBBER... [img]images/graemlins/ban.gif[/img] those cars should be banned

[img]images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] The rudeness. I spent a day in a 6.5 litre V8 SLK and I was in love. It's a bit like the standard RS4, in that it understeers unless you use the throttle, brakes and steering to get the tail out, then plant it. Bit of hassle, but it's all good fun, and there's a certain magic about such a big, growling engine in such a small car, especially topless [img]images/graemlins/gotmesome.gif[/img]

[Marc]

that is the same car I drove...

It´s nothing for daily use, nothing for rainy weather and you can´t compare it with a RS4... NEVER!!!
A RS4 is well adjusted car, which you can drive with high speed in any kurves without a high risk.
A SLK V8 is a showcar. Any speed in any curve will be well controlled... Maybe for a short time it´s fun, after the second day it nerves.
