I just barely got my crc was wandoering if any ome has any opinions or experince on building an a6 I was wanting some help on the build.

 

It's a great motor. Clean it up, replace anything that is wrong. Do a basic tune up; cap, rotor, plugs, wires, oil, coolant, ect. Get a decent 4-2-1 or 4-1 header and possibly a 2" catback exhaust. The factory air box works fine, but smooth tubing should help flow a little bit and a lot of people just like the sound of cone style filters.

I would just opt for basic bolt ons and possibly tuning if you can afford it. I'm not sure what cams are available for the D16A6. But with bolt ons and a tune I've seen them put down 116 HP and 116 FT-LBs. Which, in my opinion, is amazing for a SOHC I4. It is a great motor.

 

Glad to hear it. The one in the car I bought had grenaded, so I found another one in Indiana.

It has been sitting on a pallet for a few years, just waiting for me to get around to refreshing it with new seals and the other assorted items.

I even sourced the OEM front pipe for it, with the stock exhaust manifold.

 

If you are going with OEM exhaust manifolds, try to get one from a D16Y8. It will bolt right up and has a much improved design.

 

I'll agree since 4drEF is usually right. I know the A6 exhaust manifold was less than performance oriented.

 

I was thinking of just keeping the car as is and swap it out with a gsr or b16b if possible can't decide between the two options of swap

 

GSR>B16B by far. The B16B is too expensive for what it is. It's been called a 'fanboy' motor for a long time.
