Will this swap straight in or do I need to buy other stuff?


Thanks all.

GYNAIKAS

I dont think there will be any problems because it's an .18 engine and as I can tell from the picture the mounting positions are suitable....it would be better though if someone who has already installed that engine on his RS4 could tell us...just to be sure.

MiamizFinest

u might need these motor mounts....

unless ur car already has them..........everything else is direct drop in!!!

Krashu

Thanks guys.

Will my old clutch,flywheel and gears go straight on as well? Also will the standard pipe and manifold go onto it? Can't affor tuned goodies just yet.

Thanks again!

GYNAIKAS

What are exactly your old clutch,flywheel and gears? From what car/company?

Krashu

The standard stuff from HPI...It's the Evo so it's a .15..

GYNAIKAS

Yeap there will be no problem using them with your new engine!

Krashu

Thanks mate! You're a legend!

ferrarimk13

it fits right in, the TZ doesnt really however. The clutch should be fine, but u need to buy a clutch nut to put the clutch on the short shaft. U should def. get it, i hear its a great engine.

Krashu

Would I get that nut in tower?



Thanks again!

partyboy15

well ill tell you a darn good thing about those engines. i have one in a street force and its crazy. i cant keep it straight and it eats tires like crazy.

Krashu

Sounds like my kind of engine anyway! [>:]

GYNAIKAS

.18 Tz is the most powerful engine you could possibly get for the RS4 without having to modify it (except from the rear exaust system).

ferrarimk13

yup, the name of it is NTC3 Clutch Nut, and its a little like $4 nut, and thats what u use to extend the shaft.

ferrarimk13

the TZ is freakin hard to turn over, without the glowplug, the pullstart is just as hard as my other engines with it in! the CV-R is alot more user friendly, and easier to use.

Krashu

Is this one I'm looking for?



Thanks again!

GYNAIKAS

That's the part!

ferrarimk13

yup, thats it, good luck with it!

Krashu

Thanks guys!

silverj

Should fit perfect just like this!!!!

GYNAIKAS

Omg dude remove the rubber tube you've atatched to the pipe it's a crime with such an engine!!! Every single cm of it kills torgue at high rpm!

ferrarimk13

really? doesnt it just re-direct the exhaust?

Krashu
