Hey guys, I'm kinda stumped here. These are the basic mods I've done to my car and I'm looking for about 300 horsepower out of my d16a6.

srp pistons 9.5 c/r
eagle rods
valve job/guides
full gasket kit
arp head bolts

The only concern I have is that my head will not be able to rev high enough to actually use a big enough turbo with the 6500 red line. W

I don't want to invest in a new valvetrain...thats way too much money and I know I could swap a vtec head but I just put this engine together and got head work done on it.

What do all you a6 guys do about you're rev limit?
Will I be able to hit close to 300 with this setup?
What turbo would you recomend?

Just feeling a little bummed about my 6500 red line...

Thanks,

Joe

 

Easy flow 300whp, stock redline is 6800rpms isn't it? T3/T4 hybrid will easily do what you want..

 

stock redline is 6500...i want a t3/t4 turbo but if it doesn't spool unitl 4000 then I won't have much room to play

 

You probably will see full boost around 4000rpms my JDM a6 redlines at 6800 I get 15psi a little after 4000rpms more like 4500rpms but it begins spooling around if not under 3000rpms. Its good fun think about it you aren't making bugger all power down low N/A anyway...

 

yeah that doesn't sound too bad...i want to make sure i buy a big enough turbo to support my 300 (maybe a little more ) goal. So I think I'll go with about a 50 trim t3/t4 and down the road do up my valvetrain with some isky stuff.

What trim is your t3/t4?

Thanks for tha help.

 

50 trim would be good, I actually have a ball bearing ihi vf22. But was going to go done that road so have looked into similar setups.

 

T3/T4 50 trim is perfect for your goal. I will be using a Precision SC50 (basically same as T3/T4 50 trim) and I am aiming for 300-350whp. You could probably safely adjust your redline to 7000rpm on the stock head.

Yep, this is what my turbo D was seeing
