I have the same car. Sweet ride

Same car as well OP, so glad I found this channel. Going stage 2 soon! I’m sure you’ll love yours as I love mine

Hey, I like the 3.0 too. Do you have any further information on those part swaps? I love my b6 and would really appreciate if you could point me in the right direction to find out more.

Thanks for the tips!

Welcome, hopefully you found it helpful and not annoying. Regardless, these V6’s are all similar and with the right love, amazing. 2.7? VR6 with a big turbo? 3.0 supercharged? I can’t wait! Does this unit have an 01E or the 0A3?

@@shelbymccaul6505 it’s got an 02x. And definitely leaning towards either a 2.7 or a vr6. Both would be a ton of fun and sound amazing

Any engine problems with your b8? I Have a 2011 a4

@@user-rp2gh6hb1h not really. i’ve had it for 2 years and had to do the water pump, pcv, and cam timing magnet. It’s also stage 2 so idk how those parts would last stock.

That’s awesome! I bet that was a fun and frustrating day

Absolutely. Gonna give it all the handling goodies I can

And I know late 90’s early 2000’s aren’t old but my 2001 is old enough to legally drink in the us so

Haha that’s the truth. Makes finding parts somewhat difficult. Aftermarket is pretty sparse unfortunately, but that just leaves more reason for an engine swap down the road 😁

JHM has a few things for these cars and you can make them quick with some weight reduction and lucky his is a manual.

In my experience, Hondas are easier to work on, at least older civics, based on their simplicity. This particular b6, with the 3.0 is sometimes pretty darn frustrating to work on unfortunately. The 1.8t model is a bit easier since it’s not as crammed in there. Tools-wise you’ll want a set of triple-square sockets and Allen/torx sockets if you don’t have them yet. Another very helpful tool is the rosstech “hex v2” cable paired with vcds software (its free to download, but pc only) for scanning and diagnostics.

@@FlinkFilms ive had 3 accords, I’ve done basic maintenance. I’ve put coils on a 240, but I want to get a lot better with cars and I’ve always wanted a tuner. Should I get a Honda daily for a year and learn with that and transition to b6

Ward Performance Tuning is who you’re looking for

I’ve always wondered that too. I would assume that’s why the directions say to wait 24 hours before adding any liquid to the engine so it doesn’t seep into the oil

Was going to turn my mk1 TT into a track car when i got the avant until i found out how much it would cost to do a proper roll cage.

😂 I’ll ask him

034 hpfp upgrade. My most recent video of the B8 goes through all of it in some detail

Haha I appreciate the warning man. Honestly I’m not sure I’d even consider myself a die hard Audi guy, but I got the whole car for less than a grand so can’t really complain there 🤷‍♂️. Plus for this year all I have left to change is suspension and tires. So overall it’s costing me WAY less than my b8 has. Even if I were to 2.7 swap it, it would still cost less than what I have in the b8 😂. But I will agree with you this car sucks to work on. If it wasn’t for my desire for ice racing, and simply for the deal I got on it, I probably would have gone for a civic or something else K-powered. But I can’t COMPLETELY copy Gears and Gasoline. I am curious though, what would you have recommended?

@@FlinkFilms Either way I am excited and ready to watch the whole series. All wheel drive and manual is a very short list and pretty much all of them are going to be headaches but a rear wheel drive car while ice racing will teach you some really good car control. I would have recommended a 350z (HR) or 370z, C5 Vette, or any Miata. The problem is everything is so incredibly expensive right now, truly a bad time to buy anything worth a damn. Since you got the Audi for almost nothing even if you're into it for under 20k it should be a lot of fun building and learning. 19k worth of parts will go a long way!

@@VS666 a Z car is definitely on my list of cars to get at some point in the future. The only rwd car I’ve ever owned is a Yukon haha

😂😂😂 certainly feels like it. Not for long, thankfully

not much more you can do with a 3.0 car. Stock it's faster than a 1.8T car, but the 1.8T can be tuned, big turbo swap, etc. More potential. My 1.8T B6 has 550cc injectors, test pipe, full exhaust, and a custom tune and it has 3500 RPM launch control, no lift shifting, etc. The 3.0 car was a little stronger from the factory but tuning yields only a few hp gain compared to tuning a turbo car. The 3.0 cars are good for 2.7T swaps.

@@Long-nd8bq you don’t say, i actually own a 2004 1.8t quattro, never thought about modding it, kept it stock since i bought it of someone with 95k now it got 108k. Only problem that i cant fix is an oil leak its not a big inconvenience but it is a problem. Like 2-3 drops a day.
