Yes the RS3 is an incredible car.
the mechanical adaption kit for engine to tranny including new dualmass flywheel is about 2.2k
you can pick up a DQ500 tranny for anything from 1.5k and up to 3k Choices are audi rs3, ttrs, tiguan, q3. All same box. Diesels have slight different ratios.
then you need new engine mounts, custom driveshafts, and modified propshaft. I would say about 2k
also complete rear diff and subframe and haldex. This I usually pick up complete for about 500.
then you need to modify this subframe to mount on more favoirable locations and then custom rear shafts, about 1k
that's about the mechanical side of things.
Then you need a proper standalone tranmission controller . HTG controller with harness goes for about 1.8k
inevitably their will be some minor costs totalling maybe 1 to 2k.
now all these figures can be very close to the real deal, or it can be way off. All depends if you are completely useless with your hands,
and also depends if you shop correctly.
it does lean towards 10k yes, but I dont think it can even be compared to a sequential. Sequential cost more, drives really crap, noisy, high maintenance, etc, etc,.
I cant wait to get my honda awd DQ500 swap done after driving a rs3. Especially with my 800hp setup!
I'm doing final install now. Will be doing a youtube build.

 

there is another option.. sell evo, get GTR..

 

I have a GTR, which is why this is interesting.

 

Valid points but don't forget what the evo was built for and what makes it engaging to drive. It was a purpose built Rally car. Its got a well designed AWD system. It was never meant to be a smooth ride that shifted well . The DSG path is cool, but tuning it for 20+ hours to drive a fraction as good as an RS3 is a large task. If you want smooth and 600hp+, just buy an OE designed and tuned car. If we had FWD cars , then adding the DSG/Haldex would be a huge improvement .

The 4g63 is an old engine. Adding larger injectors, cams and turbo's make power but have consequences. Its easy to make 500-600hp with these cars. Now, once the Free Valve technology is more affordable and adapted to a 4G63 that would smooth things out considerably. How far down the rabbit hole do you go?

A syncro 5 speed Evo can live well at moderate levels for a period of time. Nothing wrong with that IMO. At a point with any car decisions and goals need to be set.

To the OP, hats off to you Sir for taking the time to design these kits.

 

I bet u'll change your mind, once HTG will give us DCT470 support
it is on the way ...
Topic closed ...

 

There hasn't been an SST reflashing option for over 12 years. Missed the boat by a long shot, and the Evo is no longer sold. Nobody cares anymore.

 

hi. Did you end up doing your YouTube build?

 

Yes it was done. Started up. And before the tune, I got very busy. Still haven't found the time. Hopefully by JAN

 

So this wicked project never came to fruition as a final and working setup?
