    S2 20V Turbo 4x4 into a MK2 Cavalier????

    Guys,

    I am thinking about putting an Audi S2 20V Turbo into a Mk2 Cavalier Hatch..

    Now I would like to use all the running gear too inc making it a 4x4. Would this be possible?

    I ask as I have not looked to far into it yet and thought would get some feedback before I make the decision.

    Many thanks

    Anything is possible with enough work and time.

    For the 4wd system you would be talking about grafting the audi floorpan into the cavalier pretty much..

    Why though? I like to see something different , just for the sake of it... but crikey , it's basically the opposite in every way to the Cavalier. Longitudinal vs transverse just for starters . Are you a competent welder/engineer?

    aye why ? I love to see ingenuity but sometime jobs can be a step too far. A better option would be A3 quattro sport 20v. This is a cracker of an engine andf would be a bit closer to what you have. Maybe cavalier 4x4 or callibra ??? better option.

    I think the floorpan swap idea sounds the most straightforward, but how would this sit with getting it through the IVA test?

    Is the wheelbase similar?

    Gents, 11 years later we liven this thread.
    I had not done what I thought at the time - I just bought S2's and now sold them.

    I now have a Audi UR90 quattro 20v turbo that took years to build 🤦♂️

    So I have a MK2 Vauxhall Hatch back and Audi coupe 20V turbo quattro.

    I am going to start measuring and see if its something I still want to do, have a technical susser for a brother so might leave it to him 😂

    It would be a lot easier using a modern transverse engine drivetrain for such a conversion.
