i run my stock a6 hard all the time, shift around 6k alot and redline it often. my a6 has about 110k miles on it. doesnt burn oil or smoke or anything. do you think it will blow if i keep doin that.

 

...

yes, it's not good to do that - motors werent made to run at 6k for very long, shift about 3k and save yourself some money and the life of your motor

 

3k??? screw that. ill just do what ive been doin for the past year and if it blows ill put another one in

 

ok GRANDPA


i beat my car to ****...and she loves it....shift around 5-5500...dont do like i do and shift at 7..haha

Then why ask with so much concern on it blowing?

 

i know, sort of a pointless post if you aren't going to listen to someone's advice... its your car and money, do what u want - i think people like you look stupid on the road thinking your honda is fast and redlining every gear... have fun

i was just wondering if it would blow it. i just want it to last long enough until i start buildin the bottom so i can boost it. then ill def push it hard all the time.

 

What are your plans for the bottom end?

No I don't think it will blow if you keep doing that. But, you might run into problems with it driving it hard all the time. One thing is for sure though, you are not going to get to 200K miles beating on it everyday.

 

Depends on the motor, how well its balanced..
How well you take care of it.
and some times its just luck some motors run forever beating on them..some take care of their motor and it blows for no reason.. too many factors..

 

Driving the engine hard wears it out faster? SHOCKING!

 

well it shouldn't wear it out faster...

If properlly lubed the bearings hydrodynamically float on a bed of oil, and the metal parts should never interact.. thats the theory behind it all Except for start up....

LOL

 

bore it out, resleeve, put better rods and pistons.

what else is there to do. i made a list of everything i was going to put in it but i lost it. what else is there to do to get it ready for turbo?

 

if you really do redline it everywhere you go like you say your a dumbass. And if you ever get a turbo you'll probably realize by then, hopefully, that its pointless and if not you'll end up killing yourself because your car is so damn fast!!!
