Driving my Audi today

[Dan Topp]

8 k on my timing chain job,still working on my vette after the paint job and the list of missing parts filled a full page.200 mile trip,but the speeds on the tollway have to be seen to be believed

Very nice. I am very happy with my 12mpg in my Camaro lol. It has used 2 gallons this week literally driving out of my neighborhood and right next door to drop off the boys. The smell of gas and that thump is worth it lol. My Flex gets 31-35 hwy if I am not on it.

43 mpg with the silver bike. 27 mpg with the orange bike. 14 mpg with the Ram. All fun to ride and drive. The orange bike is a tire shreader at any speed with the motor work i had done to it.

The engine is a 11 2.0 gen3 cast iron block aluminum dohc 16 valve turbo 18.4 boost 9.6-1. 3.25.B & 3.65” stroke. Was tuned with a revo stage 2 k&n cold air and apr downpipe and magnaflow exhaust.Bought from McGrath Audi.At 60 k I decided that since the symptoms of timing chain failure were a destroyed engine,to replace it and since the oil pump is easy at that point me and my vette guy worked on it.

I only did this thread because of the new cars 3.6 engine with around the same horsepower would have to be going downhill to get that mpg.And the pressure was on to trade it in.

I spy some Texas Speed lol. My buddy had one similar to yours. It was pretty dang quick. He got t boned in it and they totaled it. He was pretty upset until he went out and bought a Viper lol.

Everywhere I go in his shop I find all kinds of Texas speed stuff.My LS7 build is almost done I worked all day putting the inside back together and he reinstalled the shifter Only thing left to get is some missing switches and cracked trim then widebody wheels and tires I did pop for ICT billet coil brackets since the rest is blacked out it should work.The stuff that isn’t seen shouldn’t be so pretty but he needed this that will never be seen again for working with the dry sump.

So that's a pic of the swap in your first post. Sorry, I was confused and trying to figure out which engine it was.

To explain I trust my vette shop enough to drive back and forth to the state I escaped from due to taxes traffic and crime.So the Audi is perfect when I don’t need a trailer .

Very nice! I couldn't find a decent 6 Spd C6 car. They were either trashed or more than I wanted to spend. I only have two more years left on inspections. Then my 408 will get unleashed.
