So my manual trans/ac class went on a field trip today and everyone drove and my slow *** was in the back of the pack.I started thinking about more power but i need some help.I wanted to get a b16 but theres much more potential and savings in keeping the good ol a6.I have dsm 450s and a 1g dsm bov and thats it.My main goal is to keep my a/c and my full rad or have a eg full rad that doesnt look so ghetto(leaning).

So you're turbo?

 

Are you turbo yet? Well if you want to have some cheap fun, get the Greddy SOHC kit for like $1499 brand new... A sponsor on here sells it, I think you'll need to convert to OBD-I but that's about it. You could even buy a used kit for like $1000. I say just slap one of those on there and get an hour or so of tuning time in, you should have a blast.

Im not turbo yet and would like to build my own kit.Would also like to not hack up my front bumper for an intercooler.Damn im asking for wayyy to much

 

I have seen some SOHC turbo threads in the forced induction forum that you would be interested in, let me see if I can find them for you.

 

Why was the slow car in the back of the pack?

Fastest car should be he never has to worry to catch up.

Ok now to topic on hand, yes search around for some sohc turbo setups if thats what you want, I highly reccomend going to obd1. Sohcs have more room in bay so you can get a I/C and mani fold with out massive hacking.

I really don't like the greddy kit the turbine is fine too small if you ask me but rest meh at best.

Easy part to use is HF mani and a dsm turbo.

 

does anyone have pics of a6 setups? i havent see much

Your avatar is sweet.

Home made turbo kits (the shitty kind) cost about 700$ if you do the work yourself. Vibrant has alot of little nick nacks that you can use. They sell piping for cheap. Anyways, those 700$ kits, with a good 300-400$ tune job, reach a whopping 170-200whp area! It's what I'm doing to my SOHC ZC (an A6 with a better cam). I've seen a video of a CRX with a 700$ turbo setup run some low 13s.

PS: Losing the AC right now would squeeze out a few more ponies, not to mention the gas mileage. My ac = 60kmh+windows rolled down.

 

I have 2/70 air conditioning myself......

 

N/A all the way. get endyn 14.6:1 compression pistons and a custom cam

 

it does seem you are asking toooo much of a turbo kit if you wanna keep things and not cut things and all that, but turbo will be ALOT faster and cheaper to get the power you want than NA

 

You could always go with a JRSC, easier install than a turbo, and no need to cut anything. They are pricey though.

 

jrsc is a great choice,no lag,carb legal, fun "dd", gives a nice bump in hp and tq, i think youll be happy if you need more info hit up (streetwerkz).unless your looking for peak horsepower than just piece a turbo together.

 

N/A all the way bitches

 

n/a and single cam is only good when the cam happens to sit in the block.

torqueless honda motors FTW!

 

we're in the same boat
sure sounds fast

 

Strap on a JRSC! keep the full rad keep the a/c and keep it smog ready!

 

but how much power are you really looking to get? moderate go SC maximum go turbo

 

seriously thinking about jrsc now

z6, greddy turbo, smog legal

 

i have a babied a6 in my engine bay so no z6 for me.Plus i want to keep a/c.A custom manifold that allows me to keep a/c will be pretty spendy
