Audi 4.2 In an 82 924
 

Hi All.

been working on this swap for near 3 years now. Stuffing an AUX code 40V A8L 4.2 into my 924. So far, i have modified tge strut towers, fire wall and crossmember. Engine is 100% moubted in place. Hdyrualic filled Mounts are from a Ford. Using stock manual rack. A 931 bell housing, Audi V6 Spacer, 2.7 S4 Flywheel and pressure plate, with a Mazda RX8 240mm stage 3 disc. Please enjoy, this has been a bonkers project!

Great job so far! That is a **** load of work. I appreciate the keeping it in the "family". I hit the easy button and dropped an LS in my 968. No chassis mods required as an LS is so compact.

Thank you.
 

Thank you Eric_k, I have close to 160hours in so far spaced out of the past 3 years still much much more to go. I have seen people start this swap, then not finish it or quit. I really wanted to stay in the family and do a complete unique swap for the Front Engine Porsches. The LS is a simple style swap, common, but can be huge fun. My Dad's 240Z has A LS1 in it.

Clutch Set up
 

Here is My clutch set up for my Audi 4.2L 924. got a hold of a lite aluminum flywheel Looks just like the 034Motorsports series, LuK pressure plate and Disc scored for $160 lol. **Disc is near perfect and will be spared for our 2.7T Passat. The disc pictured is a Mazda Rx8 stage 4 series good for 450ftlbs, which is plenty. it is a 240mm disc, with a 25mm/23t, also for you 951 guys, this disc is a perfect replacement for a worn out disc in your car. average cost is $70 for the Mazda Discs.

I am breaking away from all stock gauges for my Audi 4.2L Swap in my 924. Main reason is I would like to try and make this car Legal in CA to actually drive around. So I am going to use an A8 cluster and, match everything up with the harness. also will have the OBD2 port set up, so I can read any codes and trouble shoot as much as possible. At first I wanted to stay stock gauges, but in the end, this will be very accurate.

Full pigtails to help tie into the wiring and sensors.

Looks like a very early cluster so you won't have to worry about an immobilizer. Later clusters (not all have immobilizers) have oil temp and volt gauges.

Cool swap. Wide engine though!

Was very happy with its condition. and with all the extra wiring too. I did make sure to have my ECU IMO removed completely and this is a earlier cluster as you stated above.
Thanks man, been a long process of crazy haah! It is pretty wide 27inches from cam gear to gear.

Should be interesting to integrate that gauge cluster into the dash.

What is an AUX from? A8? Cable throttle or electronic?

Have you chosen a transmission yet?

I am actually going to be basically removing all the stock wiring and then fitting the cluster into the dash, I have 2 early spare dashes I will be able to work with and refit. I am stoked for it.

2001 A8L D2, one of the last before the A8 Facelift. E throttle, no cable. I was fortunate enough to get the WHOLE interior harness from an A8L and my engine came with everything too.

going to use a 944 Turbo gearbox. later adapt a Audi 6 speed.

Modification of Harness from the 2001 A8 donor car underway, trimming it down to what is needed for my 924 Audi 4.2 Swap. leaves me with a lot of extra wiring for splicing if needed. Also the fuse block will be a nice update from the old ceramic fuses not to mention the wiring from the early 80s. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...56f466fa07.jpg
