Complete B7 RS4 Avant charcoal head lining, with associated pillar, sun visors, grab handles etc. The driver’s visor has the Audi garage opener, which is great.

Re: Project B7 420-R - 4.2 V8 40V BiTurbo Content

It’s almost unheard of for a Seat Exeo to make big engine numbers, but that’s exactly what’s going to happen here. The Exeo was available with gasoline motors, but I haven’t seen any here in the UK. So the first item to come out of the car, besides the engine, with be certain wiring harnesses: Engin...

Re: Project B7 420-R - 4.2 V8 40V BiTurbo Content

One of the issues encountered by C5 RS6 owners converting their cars to manual, is coding. By this, I mean coding the ECU to have the characteristics of a manual. This allows the idle to be lower, prevents “rev hang” when clutching down for gearshifts, and generally makes drivability smooth. It also...

Re: Project B7 420-R - 4.2 V8 40V BiTurbo Content

There are a few styling cues I wish to retain from the Seat Exeo ST. Starting at the rear - I like the way the screen dips to a point on the tailgate. It gives the B7 a more modern look. I will be cutting up a B7 A4 Avant tailgate skin, and blending it into the B7 Seat ST tailgate. A hell of an oper...

Re: Project B7 420-R - 4.2 V8 40V BiTurbo Content

When I built my first B5 V8 back in 2008, there were no online resources to guide me, as the 077-series V8 had never been installed in the B5 chassis by a privateer. As a result, there were no flywheel options, for the 10-bolt 32V 077-series V8. I approached TTV back then, as I lived a 5 minute walk...

Re: Project B7 420-R - 4.2 V8 40V BiTurbo Content

My choice of engine mounts has always been Vibra-Technics. They are a British firm, so little known outside the EU. I have used them since my VW Golf I/II and Audi Coupe Quattro B2/3 days, and I have never managed to bust them, despite beating on the cars all day long, with hard launches. The mounts...

Re: Project B7 420-R - 4.2 V8 40V BiTurbo Content

My aim with the motor, is to go stage 3 from the onset. Since it’s out of the car, and I’m doing a rebuild, it makes perfect sense. I am building it to support 850hp. I may end up with 700hp instead. Who knows? But I at least want the option of a higher “ceiling” so if I decide to push the envelope ...

Re: Project B7 420-R - 4.2 V8 40V BiTurbo Content

Most older-generation Audi engines had rough valve covers. Not much was done to make them look pretty, as they were covered in tons of plastic. The C5 RS6 was no exception. I decided to at least smarten the motor up, as I won’t be covering it up with plastic, or carbon fibre. I purchased a pair of D...
