Hi all, I'm looking using a W12 engine in my next project but finding out technical information on these engines isn't easy!
I know that these are several different versions with the first variation coming out in the Audi A8 D2. As this is the most likely for the conversion due to the rest getting closer to vehicles from 2006 onwards and may be involving can-bus... I'll probably be concentrating on this engine.
I've heard of weaknesses of the crank but don't which engines in particular this affects.
What is the engine to transmission bolt up pattern? The majority of W12s seem to come as autos so I'll be needing a flywheel etc which will work with it and a transmission. I know that the W12 is basically two VR6 engines together but does that mean that they use the VR6 bolt up pattern?
I have an 01E 6 speed kicking around...
Cheers.
