I agree with HxC , the COIL could be going bad . But I'd also check the ground wires .

 

what would you guys do without me........

 

the streets will flow with the blood of the non believers

 

you're right.
it wouldn't be as fun without you.

 

My Turbo'd, Z6, wire tucked, brake tucked, and fuel tucked EE RT4wd Wagon.

New front mudflaps


New Pass mirror as mine did not come with one


New parts not installed
Yakima Roof Rack, EDM Side Markers and rear taillights


Wagon on 16inch Rotas and lowered on EF Springs and no name coilovers. It sits way to low.


EDM Rear Tails


Roof Rack Installed with Bike


Cleaned bay with AEM intake


Fixing some of the Body work. Had a major dent on the pillar and door.


Turbo coming next here is a mock up of a down pipe. I am going to be using an RB5 from a Mazda 626 and a BMC adaptar bracket.


Downpipe for RB5 Turbo


Forgot to mention that I also swapped out the A6 in favor of a low mileage Z6. Before I turbo'd. Also painted the block cast iron color and intake, valve cover is black. I also did a brake line tuck and wire tuck as well.








Finished down pipe




I drove it like this at 5psi for about a month. I origianally wanted to keep the ac with this setup but this would have taking another custom plate to space out the manifold from the block and turn the turbo. After doing some research I decided to save the money and buy the greddy kit made for the z6 that allows you to keep the ac and power steering. However as you may know these kits are made for the eg's so I new their would be some fabing involved. I also want to car to look like it is not turbo'd from the outside and once you pop the hood I also wanted to keep the stock raditator and condenser. All this without cutting the hard to find RT bumper. Posted below is how I put all of this together.

Well I went from the A6 to the Z6 first and that made a great difference. Had no problem with freeway entry speeds. Low end torque greatly improved. The main reason I switched to the Z6 is because my wife and i will be using this car to drive across the country this summer and i want a more reliable motor. I switch on a daily basis from a b16 Da Integra, to gsr crx, and a b16 crx and I wanted the wagon to be as fast as those cars. I knew that I did not want to ditch the 4wd setup in favor for a b series (although i do have plans to build a b 4wd wagon) so turbo seemed like the best option. I started putting together a "homemade" turbo kit and I wanted to keep the cost under 500. I was able to buy the turbo, bmc plate, hf manifold, turbo boost controller, boost guage, missing link and downpipe for 483 dollars.

Once installed the car had great power. I was very impressed with this little turbo. I started making boost quickly and reached full boost by 2300 RPMS. Car made 168hp and 161tq. I didnt not get to run this setup and the track so I am not sure what times it could have put down. I am guessing high 14's low 15's. Here is more of the setup.



















Now my goal was to keep this car as comfortable as possible which would mean keeping the ac and power steering. This turbo manifold setup would not allow me to do this. So here comes the Greddy Kit.

Pics to come

The car is currently down as I am installing a new greddy turbo kit. I had thought about cutting a couple of holes in the bumper to allow better airflow into the intercooler but I took a look at the rebar a notice that it had vents in the bar itself. So I added metal inserts to the rebar to push the air towards the intercooler. I also started on a vent on the bottom of the bumper that would push some air up into the intercooler as well. But before I completed the vent I decided to move to the Greddy kit. Here are some of the updated pics with the Greddy Kit.





I hated this part cutting into my wagon but there really was no better way to route the as I wanted to keep the piping as short and direct as possible.


Working on getting the ac condensor to fit


To make everything fit like stock I had to move to a traction bar. Usually I would just make on of these as we do this inhouse however I happen to have a off brand one that I want to test out. I cut off the original radiator brackets off the car and moved new ones to the traction bar. I moved the radiator reward 2 inches and tilted it forward to match the original top mounting points. Now for the AC Condensor. I moved the condensor back 2 inches from its original mounting point and tilted it forward just like the rad. I also had to cut out a hole in the front cross member on the core support so the fitting for the line out would fit. This actually droped it quite a bit.

Here you can see the condensor before I dropped it and cut the hole.


Here you can see the fitting that I wanted to drop down.


Fitting everything together


Pic of the rad mount. You can see how it is tilted forward


I prefer to make my own oil lines it is much cheaper. Here is a pic of the line.




I seemed to be missing some pics so I am going to go retake some. I will post more latter.

Greddy Turbo Kit


Notice the AC compressor. In trying to keep the AC it became apparent that stock A6 compressor and bracket were to big. So I decided to use the Z6 units however i did keep the A6 Wagon condensor. This would mean that I am going to have to fab a few of the ac lines.


Here is the AC Condensor. I decided it would be a good ideal to put foam on both sides just incase anything rubs.


I then painted the whole thing with flat black.


Here is the traction bar that I am using. It will work for now but I do have a new one I am building.


You may have noticed from some of the pics that I decided to go with a different fuel setup. I did this to clean up the firewall alittle. Lines are stainless with AN fittings and a Earls 85micron fuel filter on the rail. The rail is AEM. I also decided to replace some of my water lines with stainless as well. The injectors are DSM 450's








I am also running a Skunk2 manifold. Now for anyone that is thinking of buying this manifold for your wagon think again. I am not sure if it fits with the A6 but I had to use small head bolts on the IVAC so as not to hit the firewall. I am somewhat worried about engine movement and the manifold hitting the firewall so I will need to figure out what to do about that but as of now it clears.




Back to fitment. I did have to trim quite a bit of the stock rebar.






I also had to cut into the core support some.




I also move the horns to the outside of the core support.


I moved the power steering cooler to sit on top of the intercooler.








Also installed a Accord Lip from a 94 on the front. I am still working on the back.
