It's a German company, the name is Kühnle, Kopp & Kausch, so you can relax!

Thanks for commenting! I’ve requested access to join your Facebook Group, in the mean time what transmission did you end up using? The trans was the deal breaker for me, I couldn’t find a manual that would work. :cheers:

Thanks for joining! Originally, to speed up the build (lol, this is taking forever anyhow), i went with the factory 02X transmission. I plan on upgrading later to the RS4 trans. I didn't build the car to thrash on so im not concerned with using the 02X for now., it should handle the power. I'll just have to be careful if i decide to do any hard shifting or launches.

I can’t wait to see this come together, I haven’t seen anyone document a w12 swap to the degree that it would help the next person. It would be cool to see a build with all the details.

Yeah there isn't a whole lot out there on these engines. Luckily i made friends with the fella who swapped a w12 into his 350Z drift car. He mated his w12 to a bmw manual transmission for rwd only. His tuner is the one who modified my ECM files.

Im not a blogger, vlogger or keeper of the threads. Im also not big on video recording everything and explaining on video what's going on with each an every step of the build on YouTube. I do post on my achievements and failures on FB. Not ashamed of making mistakes publicly. I randomly post on Instagram since i dont have many followers.

This thread is really old but, was wondering if the W12 idea went any further along.
