Jibberjive's RS6 Build Log

4 minute(s) of a 96 minute read

Look at my 2 edited posts above, I added a ton of pics of the motor breakdown.

There's big changes with my build. I decided to go the GT route and am having Markku at Agtronic Motorsports in Canada build me one of his GT kits (same fabricator as Guruman.) 3" V-banded DP's, exhaust manis, and TiAL MV-S 38mm V-band wastegates. I should have more pics of the progress in a day or two and they should be done in the next week or so.

I got the turbos, wastegates and oil/coolant lines from Shelby at SMS Performance. Good guy who went out of his way to help me out in a bind. He'll get you as good of prices as anyone and if you're local I wouldn't hesitate to take your car there for service either. For others who are homebrewing a GT kit, I'm sure he still has the list of all of the stuff I got for the lines and could get you setup with all of that business as well (it's the same line kit that ATP uses for the stock placement GT eliminators.)

I've got completed 2.8 heads with
-034 1mm oversize stainless intake valves
-034 Inconel exhaust valves
-034 Springs and titanium retainers

So now I've got a second set of stock 2.8 ATQ heads in great shape with about 55k mi that I'm selling in the classifieds. Click the link in my sig, and here's a couple pics

I've also got a great condition RS4 airbox for sale as well

Anywho, here's some pics of the new turbos (unmodified) and wastegates. Can you guess what turbos these are?

TiAL MV-S'

And the lines

I'm looking for 3 good OEM 2.7 pistons if you know of anyone who has some lying around. I also am in need of a Bosch alternator, dead or alive. I'd also consider a 3.0l crank if I could find one super cheap. My clutch is on it's way and as soon as I get the piston situation sorted out it's off to the machine shop for hottank, balance, hone (or bore if I go bigger than 2.7), and decking of the block. By then I should have the modified turbos, manis, dp's, wideband, fueling etc and all I'll have to do is assembly! After that I've got exhaust and the tune, then it'll be driving like a madman daily on E85! From there I'll complete the stereo and the final touches.

Sorry for the late updates, I ran into some financial hurdles (and this may not go super fast because I still have them) and I've been lacking some time because I'm starting a new job.
