RS6 6 Speed Manual Track session Video

[Matt@ravenms]

Hi Everyone.
Long time Since I posted about the Manual RS6 swap I did earlier in the Year... So far logged 4000 plus miles, and this Past weekend took car to a Open track day at Buttonwillow. Car felt Great, and very smooth on power coming out of turns. Right now, car has Stock settings on ECU, cause It was raining very heavy in the AM. But for the most part No problems w car what so ever. Even drove car there, and drove back same day.

Updates: Been getting 20-25mpg on city driving if I'm not too heavy on Throttle. The Alum flywheel, and FX 400 are working perfectly together. Very drivable. Working on getting the Car tuned at GIAC for a custom file. The ER rs6 inter-coolers are working out Great as well.

Will post up when I have more Info and Numbers on Car. but if anyone Interested in getting a ride please Hit me up :race:

Here are the videos if anyone likes to see them

Nice video's Matt. Could you post some interior pics of the car too? What steering wheel are you using? Is your friend driving a B6 S4?

Nice video's Matt. Could you post some interior pics of the car too? What steering wheel are you using?

Using R8/TT steering Wheel right now... The interior is all the Same... I don't have the Shifter cover in Carbon fiber yet. Been too busy to modify it and install in. So Embarrassing as it is I'm using the 2.7T a6 wood trim. :(
When i get the shifter cover in, I'll post the Interior up

[JSRS6]

Seriously awesome Matt! Definitely considering the 6 speed swap in the future. Nice slide btw.

Cool vids and thanks for sharing Matt! I had a very wet track day at HPT during the spring and it was a lot of fun. While the others were sitting in their garages with very long faces or tip toeing around the track, the Audi machines were rolling.

I look forward to your updates! :)

Yeah more info! Were you able to wire that wheel so the airbag works?

[eurotunedrs6]

Very nice. I've been wondering about your car. Last a saw I read it was running properly, but that was it. Glad that you are able to have some fun with it after all the hard work.

[Matt@ravenms]

Thanks, there was a thread about the whole swap, flywheel, etc.... maybe couple months back? Couple pictures in there..

If your every in the Mood to Sell your car, I'll be the First Bidder :) Were looking for a Avant to bring over to the states

Yes airbag and horn work... but only single stage works....very easy to install it.

I'll be posting up more info as far as tuning and any other upgrades.

Great job Matt. I am also looking forward to hearing more about the R8 steering wheel swap!

[ben916]

If my trans takes a $hit (eventually I am assuming), I will bargain with the EW for this instead of another slush box... :)
tempted to take a ride up to Long Beach for a look/see...

[DonS]

I agree with ben916. Someone needs to come up with a turn-key price from a licensed repair facility so we can bargain with our warranty companies - not if, but when the time comes.

I guess the Steering wheel is more important then the 6speed conversion, lol Its easy as 1-2-3 :)

Why yes, yes it did!
On a paddle shift from 2nd to 3rd, it shifted to 4th.

Looks like your stuck in Limp mode now, only driving in 3rd gear And the Fluid is Black and Burned.

Seems like a "normal" problem for these RS6 tranny's since I just had this Happen to my Customer car Cough.... Cough.....

[Matt@ravenms]

Just a Heads up. We are Taking the RS6 back out to ButtonWillow on Dec 19th. for Speed Ventures.

Is this event still gonna happen, Matt???

Forecast of Rain and we (the empirical WE) all know that when it rains in So Cal, peeps drive faster...

[arS6]

Matt, which rear diff are you using?

[Brav]

I believe its matching the 2.7 since its a 2.7 manual trans.

[vitalian]

Those vids are SWEEEET! A 6-speed manual RS6...I'm jonesin'!!!

[Matt@ravenms]

Just a Little update if anyone interested. Car is Running Great, We have about 4,000 plus miles on the car. Right now the Engine is Out of the Car for a New Flywheel. Alum has been Removed and We are now making a Steel Flywheel for more of a Daily driver type car. We have Installed WaterMeth, ER intercoolers, and also have a Custom tune on the car just for the Manual and Goodies. :)

If anyone has any questions, Please feel free to ask.

Going to Dyno Car after all the car is Back together.(BTW we have a Dyno now on Hand if anyone is interested.Dyno-Pak)

[Matt@ravenms]

Matt, which rear diff are you using?

Its a Complete drivetrain for a A6 C5 2.7T 6 Speed
