Audi a4 engine swap
I have the 1993 3.0 liter now and was given and Audi a4 engine....So I was thinking of doing a swap of engines.
Would I be able to save on my gas mileage as well?
Would this work? What kind of problems would I run into?
Thanks for replying.

Which engine? There were options several in the A4. The 1.8T can be modified for over 400HP, best bet would be to use a stand alone ECU for custom tuning. I'm guessing it won't be cheap.

Lots of work to make it function for a pretty lackluster result IMO. Nevermind the world of suck that is working on an Audi anything and the sheer number of special tools required to work on most of their engines. This is one of those "If you have to ask..." type questions.

Lots of work, yeah, but it has potential depending on which engine it is. I never had an issue working on my old 2.8 or 2.0T. How many times do you go buy the SSTs for your truck instead of making your own and/or improvising?

I haven't run into a a case where I needed an SST on a Toyota pickup, yes they are called for on occasion by the book but I've never seen the need. The one for pushing trunion bearing races out is way cool and I wish I had one though.
Chickenman, if your Audi experience stops at the 1.8T, consider yourself lucky, that's probably the best engine they've used in a long time.
