Hello,
Might be a dumb question to some, but since the S6 has the 5.2L V10 that the R8 has (obviously detuned), what are some performance mods that could be fitted to the S6 that arent advertised in the extremely limited S6-S8 mod list? Are there any?
Thanks
Two different motors for the most part. When you look deeper the V10 R8 has a much different power curve. We’ve had people do the intake off an R8 but overll it makes the car slower as the R8 has higher rpm working point.
Oh yeah, I know how much better the r8’s engine is, but im talking like lightweight crank pulleys, bolt on stuff like that since I feel like the r8 platform has a bigger aftermarket than the pretty rare s6 and s8?
Thats my idea, I’m probably wrong
You can buy a lightweight crank pulley for these cars from JHM, I have one and it makes a noticeable difference how the engine revs up. Just a fyi.
Don’t forget the spacers and tunes they offer.
Yeah, my car is currently leaking from what seems to be the crank seal, so I already copped one and will install at the same time… Just had to have an excuse…
Yep, already installed the spacers, and the tune will soon follow when my daily will be all repaired and wont have to saily my S6…
I didn’t really notice a difference with the intake spacers to be honest, but I imagine they help with the temps. But the car wasn’t really running tight when I bought it so it’s hard to compare to a baseline.
I don’t think it gives you a power boost, atleast I didnt notice much either, but I think it stops the power dip when the car is warmed up…
Yeah I imagine, it would
Yeah the intake spacers are a heat barrier. We did a few logs and pulls a few years ago and the intake air temps went up with the intake air temps. The intake temps were almost the same as the cylinder heads at almost 200 degrees. Intake air spacers in some situations dropped the temps by almost 100degrees. Some not all but when the intake is saturated with heat. It’s noticeable power wise. .
