Unfortunately, I can’t continue my build thread here.
This board is too restrictive as far as image size is concerned. I’m not really clued up with resizing them, and I’ve left loads of pictures out as it is.

Re: Project B7 Avant 420-R, C5 RS6 Motor And 01E
To cut down on time, I’m not going to drill, tap and machine the block to allow it to mate up to my 01E, I’m going to transfer the entire BCY internals into a 4.2 V8 40V block, from a 2002 S6.
I have a spare engine, so the obvious thing to do is to use it.

Re: Project B7 Avant 420-R, C5 RS6 Motor And 01E
So today, I ended up with yet another C5 RS6 (BCY) engine!
This was priced right, and very complete, with turbos, loom and ECU. It never hurts to have a spare, so one could always be rebuilt to a different spec.
This is becoming a habit, picking up BCY engines.

Re: Project B7 Avant 420-R, C5 RS6 Motor And 01E
At long last...
I have completed payment on the car - no monthlys! So I’m picking it up on Saturday. This will be the first time I’m driving it. I can’t wait to get stuck into this project, starting with quattro AWD swap. [:d]
I’m gonna be super busy now. [wrench]

Re: Project B7 Avant 420-R, C5 RS6 Motor And 01E
I've always speculated that because B7 has a longer "nose" compared to B5/B6 that cooling solutions for a 077 V8 should be more optimistic. Wouldn't it be possible to fit a larger radiator and mount it in front of the rad support rather than in it and then install puller fans into the rad...

Very nice!
I would have thought the R36 would have had an updated instrument cluster, with a full color DIS. Was it an option?

Re: Project B7 Avant 420-R, C5 RS6 Motor And 01E
Although I have long proven the 077-series V8 40V does fit within the confines of the B5 engine bay, the physical length of the engine means the cooling fans have to be mounted on the outside of the radiator, as pushers, rather than the traditional pullers mounted on the inside. While this set up do...

Re: Project B7 Avant 420-R, C5 RS6 Motor And 01E
I did consider replacing the front and rear subframes with tubular versions - I’d actually paid a deposit of a front subframe, but I ended up pulling out. The tubular one looks great - nice welds, lightweight and well made. I’m just not sure of strength. The original would have had millions Deutsche...

Quattro drivetrain parts salvaged from my B6 Avant quattro: Rear differential. Rear subframe. Rear axles. Driveshaft. Gas tank. Parking brake cables (shorter than FWD items). I’ll be stripping the drivetrain down, having the arms and subframe sandblasted, painted, then fitting new bushings. Solid al...

Re: Project B7 Avant 420-R, C5 RS6 Motor And 01E
The deal with the black car did not complete, due to issues with the seller. He pulled out. As they say, every cloud has a silver (red?) lining. I ended up with a 2013 model. Same spec as the black car, but also with front PDC. Less relevant, the 2.0 TDI CR engine is the 170hp / 350Nm version, which...

Re: Project B7 Avant 420-R, C5 RS6 Motor And 01E
I haven’t done a great deal since, other than keep an eye open for more parts. Still after a pair of Recaro Wingbacks. I haven’t even gone to pick up the car, as we’re in the middle of a move (country change). So thinking of getting the car trucked to new place, or embark on a long, long road trip. ...

Re: Project B7 Avant 420-R, C5 RS6 Motor And 01E
It’s not often a brand new Audi instrument cluster turns up on eBay. RS models even less frequently, or when they do, the seller wants as much as buying direct from a dealership. But, a seller came up trumps. I have purchased a brand new B5 facelift climate control panel, as well as a brand new RNS-...

Re: Project B7 Avant 420-R, C5 RS6 Motor And 01E
My original plan was to replace the entire Seat Exeo ST wiring harness, with one from a B6/7 A4 Avant, as the Seat is a 2.0 TDI. This will make the integration of my custom C5 RS6 engine harness much easier. But... After spending an hour poring over the 2012 Seat Exeo ST dash (main) harness, this wi...

I’ve chosen Audi Apple Green Metallic, which was one of Audi’s Exclusive colors, first used on the RS7.
But damn. This just looks so good in white, even with stock bodywork.
