Sonic 7 - engine bay size?

[shelsley11]

Can anyone help, I have a spare engine (Audi a3 1.8t) for possible use in a future project (sonic 7).
I need to understand if the Audi package will fit into the Sonic Engine bay.

Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the Sonic engine bay and the position of the drive shafts relative to chassis (any datum would do).
Thanks in advance

RTR have replied and have been very helpful.

So, will it fit?

RTR recommended sticking to the Ford Zetec power train due to the additional problems involved in plumbing the Audi engine/gearbox.

Different mounts, drive shafts, and many other changes would make it a challenge.

I believe it would physically fit and would be a very good power train solution.

The "AGU" engine is very easy to tune and can handle very high BHP with standard internals.

Next year I will need to make my mind up.
