thanks dave, could not have done it without your help in getting me the engine


switch from sri to cai! and y didnt you get the stage2s in the 1st place/....

i was thinking about it but im afraid of getting the cone soaked in a storm and bogging out my car. i am getting stage 2 cams soon. i bought stage one when i had my a3 so never really thought about stage 2's at the time.

the tq numbers are nice though wow!

Very nice numbers, very simular results to what I had with the K24a4 (almost identical setups). To be honest with you, with the stage 2 cams I only put down 195whp and 165wtq...so your right on the money with the a1 head. I bet you can get that thing to 200 with stage 3 cams and a better header (I would go stage 3 cams instead of 2 for the A1/A3/A4 heads).

can't wait to see the same numbers on my car :msmile::mwink:

Jeff set it at 7200 i believe. with the mods i had the motor really did make any more power afterwards. whatever Jeff says i believe haha. to keep it safe he did that.

awesome, this the exact same setup i'll be running! :mbiggrin: i <3 ephatch.
i have my skunk2 stg 1 cams in my A3 for now...i'm saving up (sort of) for my a1. i need new tires first:mcry:

did you run your k24a1 with cams on the stock ECU (with upgraded fuel injectors)? if yes, did you notice any problems?
are you using a type-s DCRH?
do you have a 5speed or 6speed?


edit: oh yeah, got any videos?:eyebrows::eyebrows: a clip of your speedometer pulling through a gear or two would very helpful

Hey man

got your pm. i will answer right now! you can run on stock ecu but you need the 310's. i have kpro so i could use stock 270's. I am using a ep3 specific dcrh with a custom 2 1/2 inch exhust. But the big thing is using the stock muffler. trust me im telling you to use it instead of lets say a hks or somthing. if i was boosted it might be different.
I have a 5-speed, i do not have any vids but i can try to make one if i had a video camera lol. you would like it i think.

why not HKS?:mmad:

lol, well simple thing is i took it off and my car woke up. and i mean in the lower rpm range. since im not boosted having a open muffler like that kills the tq. yea i might get a few extra ponys up top but im not at 7000 rpm all day long. ill trade a few ponys for some more tq numbers. and 162tq is great for just having the mods i have from what im told.

after watching my video you can clearly see the stock muffler is not hindering anything. it infact helped me bigtime.

hks is a great exhaust but not for what i need to do.

HKS exhausts will cause the loss of alot of low and midrange power and be as loud as fukc! For the minimal gains in the topend, it just isnt worth the hassles.
For a track only car this is fine, but for a DD/autoX it sucks big raw green donkey dugans.
