I found a really good deal for 125 bucks for the i5 turbo motor. The deal comes with the motor and exhaust headers with turbo. I have a 12v AFC 1995 Audi 90 Quattro Sport that i was really interested in doing a engine swap in. Ether the 1.8t or this i5 turbo would be amazing? After some research i found that the engine is a direct fit for the transmission(?), making it more of an incentive since i dont have to swap that as-well. Other than that i was curious of the engine mounts, radiator/other equipment i may need for the swap? Some Audi in-sight would be much appreciated before i get in over my head!

What engine is it?

See this for OEM 5 cylinder engine mounts for a B4:
securing parts for engine Audi 80/90/Avant quattro (A80Q) 1994 year Audi EUROPA 199030

You can likely do most or all of it with OEM parts but you'll be sourcing all of it from Europe

Awesome its a MC engine code, at-least thats what the guy told me so far. I asked i havent seen the motor in person yet since its a 3 and a half hour drive from me. Want to get my information sorted out before i take the trip.

i thought MC was a 10vt?

I think you're right, i had assumed there weren't many versions of the i5.
I got a picture of the engine here, im not sure if that's enough to tell the difference. probably not. . .

that is a 10v.... i personally would not bother... you would be much happier with finding a donor A4 with a 1.8t in it, less work, and its almost a bolt in option

5 cylinder in a b4 US market car is a lot of cutting and welding, there are no direct fitment mounts.

Thank you guys very much, just saved me 125$ and a 7 hour ride (total back and forth) got excited when i saw the offer seemed so good. (a junk yard motor goes for $800 here).

I bought a $500 audi a4 that ran, parted it out. sold the interior for 250 bucks, and the wheels and tires for 300. I continued to part out bits and pieces and made another 500 bucks in parts. kept the engine, wiring, ecu for my project and put that 500+ bucks i made in parts towards what i needed for my 90 conversion.

Why swap motors when you could be "Overhaulin' the ole 12v"? There is a fantastic thread on here by that name. That thread will inspire you. You have a 12v, now you have a project. 🔧
