Just a quick note to clarify on the electrical:

The Audi ECU will be used instead of the DME, and the custom engine harness will hook up to both the Audi ECU and the two Porsche (technically BMW) connectors in the trunk.

Gauges and all electrical systems will work as normal. Key immo will be lost but at least if the immo module in the car gets wet at least you can still start the car! Remote key lock and unlock functions will be retained as before.

This is being made a complete kit that will have a list of parts that need to be sourced from the donor Audi vehicle. It will have many custom machined parts, both cast and billet as required, as well as the custom wiring harness and flywheel. Many parts will be able to be sourced elsewhere, such as the clutch.

We will keep you posted as the car nears completion.

One last note for today on our V8 kit design.

We have been contacted by several people in regards to what we think the price will wind up being for the kit that is developed. It is early to say but the price will likely be higher than the kit offered for installing the LSx engines, but the engine itself will be much cheaper to source and most importantly, no modifications will need to be performed to the vehicle in any way shape or form. Anything that will not work with the Audi V8 will be simply unbolted and replaced with a component in the kit that will work. Installation will be much cheaper and faster. Every component required will be able to be supplied from us, including the exhaust system.

Essentially this kit will be able to be removed and the car made completely stock if so desired. We do our design work up front so the installer doesn't have to fabricate.

More to follow soon.
