C92hatchX Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 im swaping an a6 in and i was wondering what all i need/need to do for it to go right in?...can i use my current ECU, Harness, mounts, clutch, tranny?
Pballer2005 Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 http://web.archive.org/web/20070305014436/...om/dseries.html compression. swap a y8 head and you'll be up 10:1
C92hatchX Posted May 27, 2009 Author Posted May 27, 2009 because my rings are bad and if im going through all the trouble to replace them i might as well swap...and im only paying 250 for it
SpeedDemon Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 sounds like a deal. go for it. and yes throw a y8 head on there too
C92hatchX Posted May 27, 2009 Author Posted May 27, 2009 what about a z6 head?...not trying to be dificult just using whats around me...oh and can someone answer my first question?
SpeedDemon Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 what about a z6 head?...not trying to be dificult just using whats around me...oh and can someone answer my first question? a z6 would work great too. not sure on what you need to accomplish the full swap, im not too familiar with the a6. heres a link to some heads on CL http://columbus.craigslist.org/pts/1161672934.html
Pballer2005 Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 z6 and y8 head would both work, but the y8 head would yield more compression. you could get the same affect from milling the head, using a thinner gasket, and using a y8 intake manifold. there are ton of things you can do with the a6 and make it just as good as the z6 or y8. when building either motor, the main advantage with a vtec head is it makes things a little easier for dd.
C92hatchX Posted May 28, 2009 Author Posted May 28, 2009 well the z6 head will need new valves...maybe i can just run the a6 and then build up the z6 head to run properly then swap heads...ill just need the P28 ECU
SpeedDemon Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 sounds like a plan to me. you should be able to get the p28 at a couple places
C92hatchX Posted May 29, 2009 Author Posted May 29, 2009 so will my axles and tranny and stuff work?...
SpeedDemon Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 if im not mistaken(i probably am) any d series axel should work in any d series motor. but im not 100% sure
Nancy Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 if im not mistaken(i probably am) any d series axel should work in any d series motor. but im not 100% sure yup, that is correcto.
SpeedDemon Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 YAY! no get cracking on that motor, gotta have it done asap that way you can trade for a better car hehe
Pballer2005 Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 well the z6 head will need new valves...maybe i can just run the a6 and then build up the z6 head to run properly then swap heads...ill just need the P28 ECU do it, you wont have to do squat with the block, port the head, crower or bisimoto valvetrain, shave the head, i/h/e, tune. would make a very respectable NA daily.
C92hatchX Posted May 30, 2009 Author Posted May 30, 2009 i found a y8 head for 90 bucks...but im not sure if id be able to afford it
