2003 Audi RS6 build thread

Builds

2003 Audi RS6 V8 BITURBO - meth injection - epl custom dyno tune - custom downpipes & exhaust - wagner ICs - hybrid turbos - Hyperboost diverter valves - turbo timer - IPT torque converter - kw v3 coilovers - Hotchkis Sport Sway bars - DPE S15 19x9.5 wheels

My mods since I purchased the vehicle are Wagner intercoolers and 18" Enkei wheels. I made the RS6SPEED badge just for fun on the water jet.
The next big thing is a 6 speed manual transmission. below is a few photos of parts I have purchased for the big swap. Now I must decide on a clutch which I have not even put much thought into yet.

I call this a build thread but just to be clear I do very little work on my own due to my lack of time, tools and most importantly automotive technical knowledge. :slight_smile:
Steve K. is doing the transmission swap in Pittsburgh. (He makes the adaptor kit.)
Props to Innovative and SPAM for work done to sort out the car after purchase.

Edit: My photography skills aren’t great either.:slight_smile:

Forgot the clutch slave picture. :slight_smile:

14

So jealous of this

15

So does anyone have any advice on which clutch I should purchase? The car has lots of torque so it needs to be stout but I want shifts to be somewhat civilized if possible.

Something like this?

Does a 2.7 clutch work on a 4.2? Call South Bend. Tell them your situation and power goals. They will make a recommendation.

17

Ya i would go south bend, and yes the trans/clutch combo is the same for a 4.2 or a 2.7 Ive tossed around a manual A8 :stuck_out_tongue: But ill wait till I get to practice on Justins RS6 first.

Im watching this thread with great anticipation. :slight_smile:
