c4 2.8 30v swap
Has anyone done it? I would like some info on this swap. I own an 95 A6Q wagon and want more power and a tuneable engine. I've heard that the 2.8 30v is a bolt on for the 12v c4 platform, but i can't find anyone who's done it. I would like to know what I need for this swap and what wiring tricks are nessesary.

It might be, but you'll also need to upgrade the motor management system (MMS)...
to the version that works with the 30V engine. That requirement could be moreof a hassle than changing out the block itself. Suggest you buy a C5 A6 if you want the extra power of the 30V engine.

Don't bother. It's only marginally more power, and it isn't any more tunable than the 12V.
Huge work for small gain. If your car is automatic, you get to figure out how to get the engine and trans to talk to each other.

I agree with the others, too much work to be worth doing. On the other....
side of the Atlantic, we had some late C4's with the 30v, from late 95 until we got the C5 in late 97.
