Here is a synopsis of my build thread, from on AZ. I have edited it down to included only what is definitely on the car or going on the car.
The Car, a 2001 Audi A6 ming blue, with 6mt conversion
Initial manifold fab work was turned over to Derek at Trillion Industries after slow progress last year from Unobtanium
Josh at J-Fonz will be tuning the car
The build
Motor, I was in the process of building a 3L, CAW had a fully built, guaranteed to 1200hp+ motor , so I sold my block/crank/piston/rods and picked up the motor that was ready to roll. It has all sorts of things that I wanted to do, but cost was prohibitive. It is a Eurospec full built 3L, JE 8.5:1 compression, knife edged forged crank, deck cooling, crank girdle, 2.8 NA heads, I picked up a set of Rosten valve springs and Ti retainers, to go with Supertech valves.
Turbo, I spent almost 2 years agonizing over which turbo to go with, I did countless math calculations, I wanted to make sure that I could spool the turbo before 7K. Anyways, as I watched the addition of the Garrett GTX turbos, and countless other brands, I kept coming back to the turbo I originally specced 2 years ago, of course Bullseye had undergone some improvements to their lineup as well. I ended up getting a B383, it is billet wheel, 83mm inducer, 119mm exducer on the comp side, v-band discharge. Turbine side is an 87mm wheel, turbine housing is stainless v-band in/out, no comp maps have been released, but it should flow in the neighborhood of 130lbs/min, enough to support 1200awhp
I have a rather large FMIC, it is not my first choice to run a FMIC, but this year with time permitted it will do the trick. This core should easily flow enough to keep my charge cool, my only worry is pressure drop. Fueling will be handled by a Magnafuel 750 MP-4303 fuel pump. Fuel regulator and filters are Aeromotive Fuel rails are -10 an, building for the possibility of E85 if Canada ever gets some. Fuel lines were run in Aeroquip socketless
I cut out the secondary firewall and cut the battery tray back to the mount tabs for the steering rack. It gives us a solid 5" extra space in back of the motor. As well we cut and modified the passenger side frame rail to accommodate charge piping. The A/C is being retained, so a custom plate was made to utilize the old fittings, new lines will be run in Aeroquip.
I purchased a B7 RS4 8 piston 365mm front brake setup, and rear brakes are B5 S4 calipers with 300mm rotor upgrade. I tried many sets of wheels for the build, refinished a set of Work VS-MX, but they wouldn't clear the front calipers, looked at a set of HRE's which actually fit, but ended up buying a set of OEM Lamborghini Gallardo Casseopia wheels 19x8.5 and 19x11 with Quattro friendly rolling stock 235-35-19, 275-30-19. Still waiting for the wheels to arrive, they shipped today.
I have had a couple different clutches selected and purchased for this build, first was the new style VAST stage 4, but in truth there is no way that this clutch would hold what I hope to eventually make for HP#'s, so I picked up a Spec mini triple, claimed to be able to hold over 1400ft/lbs.
There will be no rubber/silicone couplers, instead pipe coupling will be done with Vanjen clamps, similar to Wiggins, just less well known and less costly, also not bright purple
Progress was slow over the last year and a half, but has been moving steadily in the last several months. Hopefully I can have it rolling this summer, but I am not going to press things, I just have too much time/money/self invested in it at this point.
Now on to the pics
