Hi, I'm not sure if this belongs in this part of the forum but I'll go on anyway. I want to build a B7 Avant car, not an RS4 but not an A4 either, it's a custom job. I want the following things:

• 700-850 horsepower (at the wheels)
• Lightweight, 1350-1500kg
• Reasonable Reliability
• Good Handling and Braking

Now up to this point you're probably thinking "We all want that" or "Use the search button" but read on. Like I said earlier I don't want to start with an RS4, I would have considered the B5 RS4 or S4 but I want the B7 look. My questions are:

• How difficult to fit the B5 RS4 TT engine?
• How hard to overcome electronics?
• Can the AWD be kept?
• Is the 2.7 ltr V6 TT the best engine for the job?

Now I heard the B5 RS4 engine has it's issues, are those issues only for people who don't fully build it from the start or is the engine generally troublesome? In my case I would have the engine built to the teeth before anything else and the gearbox too so how reliable would it be? I'm not looking for a daily driver in this, more of an occasional weekend car kind of thing. Plus how is the turbo lag at those power levels?

Now this CANNOT be an RS4 B5, it has to be the B7 shape Avant and need to have the AWD. What other engines can be hooked up?

By the way I forgot to mention the budget, the budget is X. There is no budget, this car is being built by myself and 5 other people, we have our own garage and lift so we have a comfortable place to work in.
