Is that belluve audi? I was offered a tech job there, there shop is ridiculously big...no wonder they wouldn't care about you taking up a couple stalls.

I can't wait to get a shop, and stop working in my small garage.

Well thanks, I like to think I have more then just a pulse and ssn. I just didn't think it was worth the move. I worked for a few years at sunset audi, then just relized I much prefer wrenching on my spare time over making money at it. I quit and never looked back.

Good luck with the swap.

No sweat man, Sunset was/is the same way. The tech turnover rate is bad...plus they didn't want to pay the guys who really knew what they were doing an appropriate wage. Just wasn't worth it anymore.

Canyon, are you planning to swap out the door blades with the RS6 ones? Would finish it off nicely IMO.

[Turbowned]

This is gonna be awesome! Looking forward to watching your progress :)

Canyon, are you planning to swap out the door blades with the RS6 ones? Would finish it off nicely IMO.

I have RS6 side skirts, door caps, rear bumper, and rear spoiler that will be going to paint within the next month or so. Right now I'm just waiting on myself to finish this clients RS6 so I can free up the engine table and yank mine out. Couple more small things to iron out with the swap and once I get it all in line the transplant will begin.

[canyon]

Well the clients RS6 is finally out of the way. Just need to freshen these 2 up and then my donor car will go under the knife.

So to add some details to this thread

What were some of the changes needed to swap instrument cluster and steering wheel?

Did you relocate the battery to the rear? How did you run the cables?

Rear subframe? Did you swap the RS6 subframe with diff?

What about fuel tank and pumps?

What about the coolant after run pump and wires. Did you have to run new wires?

I have feelers out for a S6 and could be doing this soon. Must need head examined.

Nothing needed to swap cluster and wheel, except immobilizer stuff. Plug and play on my car (I had sport steering wheel with shifters in S6)

Battery will be in the front so as to not take up any room in the trunk. Either where the SAI pump was, or next to coolant tank

RS6 avants used the same aluminum rear subframe as the the RS6 so I left it rather than swap with the steel sedan one. Swapping RS6 rear diff and center driveshaft over.

Using stock S6 tank with AEM in tank pump. Swapping over all the RS6 larger lines though.

After run pump wiring is part of the engine harness. The after run coolant valve located at the bottom of the radiator is getting deleted.

It's actually a lot easier than you would expect. Just time consuming.

[Bigglezworth]

I deleted my SAI some time ago and I feel confident in saying I certainly wouldn't be able to get a battery in to the front passenger area. There is some room in the cowling area, but it requires a full revisit of the air cabin filter, coolant tank, brake booster and ECU locations IMO. Anyway, pics will show all and look forward to seeing those ones.

[DHall1]

Thanks

Yep on the dash pin to convert.

I was thinking about the rear hubs...may be needed for caliper mounting

You have to use the RS6 rear hubs for the brake swap. God knows why they chose to use the stupid ones that are on the S6. RS6 and Allroad are the same.

I wish I had the time to figure out how to adapt the RS6 rear calipers and rotors to the S6 carriers. It's about 4.25 lbs unsprung weight savings per side with the aluminum carriers.

I won't have to diet as much, too.

I'm sure it can be done, but it won't be easy. You'll have to fab a new caliper carrier. The S6 uses a goofy caliper carrier. Then there's the whole dust shield being sandwiched between the bearing and the bearing carrier.

[canyon]

I actually have a spare set of RS6 rear calipers and carriers I'd sell if anyone needs them. No pads or rotors.

[kruat]

You don't by chance, have the power switch to the steering wheel height/telescoping do you? Mine stopped moving up. I know it has to be the switch, as when I take my key out the wheel moves up. I'm guessin the contact inside is going bad.

[4everRS]

Exciting!

You're gonna take the bumper off before putting that thing in, right?

[canyon]

Yes the front end will come off before the RS6 engine/trans is installed so that the lock carrier, radiator, and electric cooling fans can all be installed.

[SteveKen]

Since I don't see the subframe on the engine stand, do you lift the engine place and then hang it from the unibody to get the subframe in place?

[canyon]

I bolted the subframe back into the car so I can push it in and out of the shop and not clog up one of my bays for work. Plus I need to push it over to detail and pressure wash the engine bay.

[canyon]

More progress today. Almost everything needed out of the donor car, and all the unwanted parts taken off the avant.

[Bigglezworth]

1707417075Aren't swapping the fenders and hood? What about the front uprights? Did the wahon already have the same aluminum parts as the RS? w'hat about the fule lines, pump, etc? Wagon have the larger lines?

[canyon]

Hood, fenders, and steering knuckles are all the same on the S6. Larger fuel lines are being swapped from the sedan to the avant. Running the S6 fuel tank with single in tank pump with larger wiring to support it.

[canyon]

Well things are really moving along nicely now. Turbos just got dropped off after being upgraded, starting to put the RS6 bits in and complete the engine bay, RS6 lock carrier and fans are on, and all body parts are getting prepped for paint. Just need to finish the wiring and should have the heart and soul installed next week!

[canyon]

Engine bay mods 99% done. Just need to clean and paint. Engine goes in on Friday.

I see you have it covered, but how did the welding on the front engine mount bracket go?

[canyon]

Not using the snub mount. Cut it off, ground it down, and painted it. Running Stern mounts to keep everything in place.

I hope you've done your research on this. Personally I would not risk it since there is a reason why these get severed all the time. I'm guessing it's more from movement during operation (along with the stock engine mounts) than not supporting the engine during service, etc.

I'm interested in any feedback once you are up and running.

[vitalian]

Haha, the new guy next to me got it. ABS light on?

Yup. And he didn't fix it; the light is still on and it needs to come back in. Can you work on it next time?:confused:

Your project is awesome. I'm sure there's no way a customer would be allowed in the work area for liability reasons, but I would LOVE to see it in person!!!

[canyon]

Well the battery goes in this week. Just got ECM, TCM, and intercoolers back from AMD. Need to finish up the plumbing on the front end and hopefully fire her up this weekend! Body pieces should be back from paint by Saturday.

That would be mine. Actually just sold it to Absolute German. They picked it up last week. Body was in perfect shape. Next time you come by bring your RS6 and let me know!

[hahnmgh63]

I will. Doing the 6spd conversion on it now. Been lazy and other projects. Need to get the clutch and tranny bolted up to the engine so I can get ready to drop it back in.

[canyon]

Well I came REALLY close to having her running today, but just ran out of time and energy. Got the front end in it's final resting position and all the oil/transmission/power steering/coolant lines routed. Just need to install the battery and TCM then she should come to life! Hopefully sometime this coming week I'll have time to wrap it up.

[canyon]

2 steps forward, 1 step back. Got her all ready today, filled the coolant and sure as shit there's a pin hole leak in the flipping radiator. Took it all apart and found the brace in front of the passenger cooling fan had been rubbing on the radiator and wore a small hole through it. It's acting like an RS6 already. There's always something.

[canyon]

It fired right up! Wish I knew how to upload videos on here cause it sounds amazing with the cat free downpipes.

I have a fresh RS6 rear spoiler remaining from the conversion of my A6 4.2 which never got finished due to Hurricane Sandy flushing the car down the tubes. The spoiler is brand new from BKS Tuning in Germany, never painted or installed, and it's been sitting in my closet on the parts shelf for two years. If anyone is looking for one..... send me an email.

Just a quick update. Got the unicorn on the dyno yesterday. Initial pulls were around 490 torque. Due to transmission software needing some tweaking we de-tuned it to 405 horsepower and 463 torque. Once the TCU software gets ironed out she should be in the ballpark of 450 horsepower and 535 torque. Not too shabby :revs:

The RS6 Plus had a BRV engine code rather than the BCY. It was for the most part the same aside from standard aux radiators, more powerful ECM tune, black trim rather than the brushed aluminum, and I think there was a fancy plaque too.

Yup, that was me. Didn't have the box on it. Just took it back off since winter is sadly over.

Got some RS7 390mm waved front brake rotors installed along with RS5 330mm waved rear rotors. Pretty damn sweet!

Can you let us know the mods needed to get the rs5 rear on? I have a brake thread on here as well...

You need a 6mm spacer between the knuckle and caliper. The bolts are long enough to still use since there's some extra thread on them. I used a hardened piece of steel that was slightly over 6mm thick and made a spacer out of it. Super simple.

THANK YOU! Sooo any room for a 5mm wheel spacer back there to make it easy? I was going to run them anyway to get my wheel/tire setting right with the fender. :)

I'm honestly not sure what the clearance would be like with stock wheels. I'm running 19x9 S5 peelers with a 10mm spacer in the rear, and I've got miles of clearance.

Not worried about fitment i got that covered lol. Just wondering if i can run my ecs spacer under the rotor instead of on the outside, for the same effect. Know what i mean?

No, because that would move it the wrong direction. You'd need an even larger caliper spacer and longer bolts at that point.

Ohhh ok yea i read that too fast haha, same thing I was told from some overseas guy that did it with the bigger rear RS7 rotor, (he said it was around 3-4mm tho?) was thinking the offset was different for RS5 or something lol.

Thanks brotha!
