Hillclimb and sprint
New Member
Hi all,
New guy here.
I know this question has been asked of sorts but my situation is slightly different.
I currently use a TT for competing in hillclimbs and sprints, APX engine rebuilt with forged rods, hybrid turbo etc, currently running 325hp/340ftlbs.
The body itself is very tired and looking at a re shell.
After a bit of research I see that an A3 1.8t sport quattro weighs in at under 1200kg, the TT being 1450 plus.
My question is:
Could I just swap my APX engine/box/ecu into the A3 (have seen one for sale but don't know engine code yet) or is there anything more to be considered, am I over simplifying things.
I would also be swapping over running gear/suspension. I understand that the front subframe is the same as the TT but does/can the A3 use TT wishbones and hubs.
Many thanks in advance.
Frank
