I seem to remember a few years back, someone stuffing a V6 into a 145, must be something about them.
That 20VT engine swap looks pretty straightforward, mind you I don't fancy doing a belt change on that!!
In Germany somebody fitted a 3.2 GTA engine in an 145.Quote:

Hi all!
In Austria somebody built a 145 Q4.
Have a look:

That's some kind of advantage of a common platform...
Best regards, Martin
I think there is one in Turkey as well.Quote:

now the car is for painting
That Tipo looks a bit tasty, it also sounds just a little bit like an original Quattro when its on the start line.
Shame about that 145 though, but glad to hear its getting back on the road.
The Tipo and coupe share the same chassis i seem to recall.
Found a picture of the 145 GTA 3.2 V6 I mentioned earlier ;)

The car looks awesome, but I think the problem is the weigth of the engine. Therefore I think it's better the 2.0 t swap, in order to maintain the driveability of the car.Quote:

There is a 145 with a V6 engine conversion done over here too.Quote:

Well you are right lots of power through the front wheels can be a problem, but you can improve the handling a lot with a Quaife LSD...Quote:
