@Darren webb
I have seen a T5.1 running an RS4 lump. Take a look at YouTube for “RST5 Transporter”

This is a monster Caddy. It was built and owned by the VW assist chap in my area.

The only problem i might have is the drive shafts, only a minor problem

Martin, that T5 engine is a beast, I'm sure I won't be the only one interested in how you get on!
Is your van a front wheel drive or a 4motion, out of curiosity?
Darren, a RS3 engine in a T6 would also be interesting. And possibly a bit scary!

 

[Martin Humphrey]

Hi its just a front wheel drive as is volvo , i was going to put my old 330d Bmw engine and have rear wheel drive but this meant cutting to much into the bulkhead

 

[DaveD]

Well it'll be one quick T6, I used to have a Volvo T5 and I also drove newer ones at work, seriously quick and smooth. Mine had to go when I realised that on a very good day I could only get 22mpg. And front tyres didn't seem to last very long either!

What sort of money does it cost to get a rs4 engine in out of interest

You do know the petrol T6 is good for 300-400+hp easily??

He also built a 6 wheel t6

 

[Ragadyman]

That’s some serious fabrication work.
