Random but serious question does the .....

The T5-Rs 2.3-litre engine was force-fed by a chunky turbo and developed a pant-wetting 250bhp.

.......engine described above fit the 480

as there might be a chance of laying my hands on one .

and going super speeds

no, not with out some serious modding to the 480. the t5r is vaugely based on the vw 5cyl engine. also no room in the bonnet for it and you will struggle to keep it cool enough as well.

i know some one (there has been post here before) has done the t4 conversion (a t5r engine with on cyl cut off) and had major problems with it!

I use a standard 480 orginal watercooler on my B234 engine and itÃ‚Â´s works fine!? The big problem is modding the car so the 5cyl engine fit : )
But nothing is impossible! (bad writing in English).

The 5 cilinder gasoline engine is a Volvo engine, and has nothing to do with a VAG engine

The 5 cilinder Volvo engine has nothing to do with the Audi 5 cilinder engine, build since the end 70Ã‚Â´s.

They donÃ‚Â´t share one part !
