My NEW PROJECT | B6 Track Car Build | Episode 1

[@hobbypyromane2.05]

Calling a 285 kph (180 mph) car slow, is interesting. I think there are some issues with your engine or mine is just a 1:100000. Maybe try a dyno run for reference? I guess it’s just a perspective thing. Love that you picked such an unusual car.

[@jtg8034]

This channel deserves more attention it’s so down to earth and just a real expiernce keep up the great work

[@yasufumikataoka9747]

Love your content, including all of the ups and downs. I have recently bought a B8.5 A4 6MT and I can’t wait for the latest content about your B8. I want to take my B8.5 to at least the K04 upgrade. Your content is inspiring!

[@mixmaster6796]

I have the same car. Sweet ride

[@OpaqueV2]

Same car as well OP, so glad I found this channel. Going stage 2 soon! I’m sure you’ll love yours as I love mine

[@Lizarragapablo]

As a fellow 3.0 owner, I’m looking forward to your build and subsequent engine choice. Easily overlooked on the 3.0 is confirming proper functioning of the intake manifold changeover valve which often fails in the high rev position and thus reduces your low end torque. Typical failure points are tears in the rubber diaphragms, the N156 solenoid mechanically failing, and worn out tabs that connect the vacuum actuator to the changeover valve. All of these failures will usually NOT result in misfires or check engine light. Keep up the good work!

[@only88mph]

Watched all the way through, so happy to see a b6 on KZbin!

[@peekaboo4390]

Looks all very familiar as I am doing the same on an 03 3.0 B6 cab. Cat delete, SAI delete, Aircon delete, JHM 2.5 downpipes and a Milltek exhaust... quatro and trans swap from a what was a FWD CVT. The 3.0 is a solid power plant and very reliable and can be supercharged and there is a JHM 3.0 tune available. Fun stuff

[@smrsocmoneyracing2552]

The 3.0 is a good reliable motor. It makes good power out the box and revs well. Paired with a manual transmission, it can compete. It's only down side is the lack of aftermarket support. But, a creative person can find their way around that because many parts swap over to the 3.0 from the 2.8 and 2.7t. I'm digging this build man.

[@hobbypyromane2.05]

Hey, I like the 3.0 too. Do you have any further information on those part swaps? I love my b6 and would really appreciate if you could point me in the right direction to find out more.

[@revo97]

Welcome to the B6 gang!!!

[@mattbourne1350]

I have a B5 I bought about 6 weeks ago that I am bringing back from the dead. Sat for nearly 10 years before I bought it, now I am turning it into a rallyx car. Looking forward to watching this build!

[@ondreue]

Just discovered this channel. Subbed!!!

[@danieljadorie829]

Finally, I have watched all your videos and am now caught up.

[@texastwostroke9638]

Subscribed. Another B8.5 owner here. Looking forward to the B6 build. Drivers mods are the best investment, although I am looking forward to hearing what you repower the B6 with. If the 3.0 can be swapped out with the 2.7t, that would be excellent knowledge to document.

[@xandermacha6230]

Been waiting for another Audi series

[@joenekks6983]

glad to hear about ur sponsorship, will use 034 soon because I’m having some hesitation problems on my b8. excited for the build🤟

[@PBGarage]

Great car, and the perfect platform to drop a 2.7t into once you start wanting more power.

[@joshh694]

Hell yeah. A 4.2 or a turbo vr6 would be sick

[@shelbymccaul6505]

Really excited to see this build progress! I hope your oil pump chain tensioner is good. Mine was really grooved and the tip was cracked. Also the cam chain tensioner shoes. Also, the are check valves under the valley pan. They’re expensive, but I think they’re worth it. My cooling system was soooo full of crud. I’d suggest draining the block if you decide to do a flush. You may have seen some stuff when doing the rear main in the block. I sure did!

[@FlinkFilms]

Thanks for the tips!

[@shelbymccaul6505]

Welcome, hopefully you found it helpful and not annoying. Regardless, these V6’s are all similar and with the right love, amazing. 2.7? VR6 with a big turbo? 3.0 supercharged? I can’t wait! Does this unit have an 01E or the 0A3?

[@FlinkFilms]

@@shelbymccaul6505 it’s got an 02x. And definitely leaning towards either a 2.7 or a vr6. Both would be a ton of fun and sound amazing

[@alexios_18]

Glad I came across this video. Great content. Just subbed 🎉❤

[@13BranonSamsung]

Cant wait to see you at midwest next year hopefully with both of the audis💯

[@Joseph-hy2yz]

My first car was a B6, I loved it despite how slow it was lol. I have a B8 now just like yours. I'm stoked for this build!!

[@user-rp2gh6hb1h]

Any engine problems with your b8? I Have a 2011 a4

[@Joseph-hy2yz]

@@user-rp2gh6hb1h not really. i’ve had it for 2 years and had to do the water pump, pcv, and cam timing magnet. It’s also stage 2 so idk how those parts would last stock.

[@andrewfoster6639]

034 rear sway bar in your future? It'll revolutionize your life!

[@FlinkFilms]

Absolutely. Gonna give it all the handling goodies I can

[@filipcarlberg03]

I have the exact same “broken pixels” on my display. It’s really identical to yours

[@4BillC]

I have a 2004 A4! She is in need of some stuff. I may want some parts if you're looking to get rid a few things. Off the top of my head AC system parts and the plastic bits in the front bumper...

[@MyzteryMedia]

Love your content and glad to see another Audi on the channel! Coming from a fellow videographer I love how you shoot your non cinema content you’re super underrated. Almost bought a b8a4 but got a B7A4 instead since it has the same motor my stage 2 mkv gti had. Keep up the great work!

[@gattlingkitty09]

I love the old body style cars, bought a c5 a6 2.7 70k miles auto but it’s a fun daily :)

[@gattlingkitty09]

And I know late 90’s early 2000’s aren’t old but my 2001 is old enough to legally drink in the us so

[@Tonyk24]

Can’t wait for this build!

[@Byefriendo]

3:27 this is an amazing shot. Im still living my b8 a4 dreams vicariously through this car lol. My one is even black as well! But dual clutch so got issues ):

[@pole120]

I think you know how I feel about track car builds. Let me know if you need anything.

[@beezermedia]

OooOOHohhohohohohohohoho 🐒 omg @11:00 you own shorts?!

[@shreeshaipod]

It might not make the most power but a properly maintained 3.0 will be a great seat time car. They're pretty stout... likely from the lack of any boost or high cylinder pressures 😅.

[@MycketTuff]

When people talk about Audi 3.0 it's never ever ever the NA gasoline engine. Don't even know the aftermarket for these, should be a fun watch!

[@FlinkFilms]

Haha that’s the truth. Makes finding parts somewhat difficult. Aftermarket is pretty sparse unfortunately, but that just leaves more reason for an engine swap down the road 😁

[@Long-nd8bq]

JHM has a few things for these cars and you can make them quick with some weight reduction and lucky his is a manual.

[@garretbehm6980]

looking forward to the engine swap

[@NoBoost1]

This is cool. I actually learned manual in a v6 a4 (b5 2.8 though) and even though it wasn't the fastest, was still fun.

[@FlinkFilms]

That’s awesome! I bet that was a fun and frustrating day

[@AlpoMartinez88]

Dude I have the same car b6 with a 1.8 but I’m thinking 2.7t swap with anti lag and big brakes and etc

[@diegoalmanac9160]

Swap for 1.8t easy to work on and you can swap the k03 to bigger turbo v6 engine is just hard to work on and no many aftermarket parts

[@kevdog9408]

Keep up the content

[@hunter.220]

034 is the best

[@nolanmcgilvrey1619]

Hey man! Awesome stuff! Some maintenance is coming up for me and I was just wondering if anyone had done any of this and I found your video so that's cool! How much did this cost in parts for all of the stuff you did? Thanks!

[@DanBee123]

Bro your dry humor dad jokes kill me

[@LLoydDStiff]

Nice 👍🏾

[@Eric-dz1sd]

Hey buddy so I have a B7 fwd auto the question ⁉️ is do you think that my trans will hold up or will it need some upgrades to it?

[@presidentpd]

i love this bro

[@ryanferguson110]

How is the boss turbo kit holding up? Thinking of getting one.

[@IrizarryRegenerativeFarm]

If you were just getting into cars at 26 and we’re gonna get a b6, what tools would you need that you wouldn’t have from working on a f150 or civic. Also how difficult is it to work on Audi vs hondas

[@FlinkFilms]

In my experience, Hondas are easier to work on, at least older civics, based on their simplicity. This particular b6, with the 3.0 is sometimes pretty darn frustrating to work on unfortunately. The 1.8t model is a bit easier since it’s not as crammed in there. Tools-wise you’ll want a set of triple-square sockets and Allen/torx sockets if you don’t have them yet. Another very helpful tool is the rosstech “hex v2” cable paired with vcds software (its free to download, but pc only) for scanning and diagnostics.

[@IrizarryRegenerativeFarm]

@@FlinkFilms ive had 3 accords, I’ve done basic maintenance. I’ve put coils on a 240, but I want to get a lot better with cars and I’ve always wanted a tuner. Should I get a Honda daily for a year and learn with that and transition to b6

[@Sixthpanic]

Stick a 5.2 in it, and throw some turbos on it.

[@davidmusiyenko4158]

Nice

[@fastboatster]

Need to do b6 2.7tt swap asap)

[@btwlbchris3360]

1.8t swaaaappppppppppp

[@melvincrawford8305]

Swap that V6 with either a 1.8 or 2.7

[@mikemayers9353]

i swear i was looking at a b6 3.0 the other day

[@nahshongrandison9512]

I just got my b6

[@hamcham4053]

we need ep 2

[@ryanferguson110]

What fueling upgrades did you have to do on your A4 besides bigger injectors?

[@FlinkFilms]

034 hpfp upgrade. My most recent video of the B8 goes through all of it in some detail

[@ryanferguson110]

What's up man? Who was the guy that tuned your A4? I am going big turbo on my 2012 gti and need a good tuner. Thank you

[@FlinkFilms]

Ward Performance Tuning is who you’re looking for

[@elchucapablas]

I have a feeling you’re going to put a 5 pot in there

[@AJ...99]

I've always wondered something about the rtv sealent; is there any way of knowing if any is squished into the oilpan? and if so is it a problem?

[@FlinkFilms]

I’ve always wondered that too. I would assume that’s why the directions say to wait 24 hours before adding any liquid to the engine so it doesn’t seep into the oil

[@MikeFico998]

Yo is this car jacked up on a SkyJacker kit??

[@FlinkFilms]

😂😂😂 certainly feels like it. Not for long, thankfully

[@artisticmrfaulk587]

Love all your videos!! Your B8 build taught me so much about our platform!! Hey if you get the chance check out my build. Would love to get your opinion!! I’m doing the 034 recirculating catch next!! Yes they are awesome !!!

[@billbilicki7327]

Chris Why doesn't your brother love you 🤣😂🤣

[@billbilicki7327]

Was going to turn my mk1 TT into a track car when i got the avant until i found out how much it would cost to do a proper roll cage.

[@FlinkFilms]

😂 I’ll ask him

[@osbertcororia2094]

Hii.... Which engine code is the engine?

[@FnGRZupra]

Get an E46 330ci, Miata, lots of cars better than a understeering Audi for the track. You never really see Audi on the race track for a reason, it's mostly BMW, Porsche, Miata, S2000

[@VS666]

flink my man i can't help but try and steer you in the right direction. i know your a die hard audi man and you're not afraid of tearing into an engine but you absolutely have to reconsider a different platform. the juice is not worth the squeeze with this car. the amount of time, effort and MONEY that will be dumped into this thing will not be worth it. go with something more tried and true, simpler, and cheaper. i'm not going to make recommendations so people think i'm biased but there are so many better and cheaper options that will be so much less headache and easier to work on

[@FlinkFilms]

Haha I appreciate the warning man. Honestly I’m not sure I’d even consider myself a die hard Audi guy, but I got the whole car for less than a grand so can’t really complain there 🤷‍♂️. Plus for this year all I have left to change is suspension and tires. So overall it’s costing me WAY less than my b8 has. Even if I were to 2.7 swap it, it would still cost less than what I have in the b8 😂. But I will agree with you this car sucks to work on. If it wasn’t for my desire for ice racing, and simply for the deal I got on it, I probably would have gone for a civic or something else K-powered. But I can’t COMPLETELY copy Gears and Gasoline. I am curious though, what would you have recommended?

[@VS666]

@@FlinkFilms Either way I am excited and ready to watch the whole series. All wheel drive and manual is a very short list and pretty much all of them are going to be headaches but a rear wheel drive car while ice racing will teach you some really good car control. I would have recommended a 350z (HR) or 370z, C5 Vette, or any Miata. The problem is everything is so incredibly expensive right now, truly a bad time to buy anything worth a damn. Since you got the Audi for almost nothing even if you're into it for under 20k it should be a lot of fun building and learning. 19k worth of parts will go a long way!

[@FlinkFilms]

@@VS666 a Z car is definitely on my list of cars to get at some point in the future. The only rwd car I’ve ever owned is a Yukon haha

[@SilvaDSD]

Hello my friend swap v8 4.2 + turbo 0.6 bar ;)

[@shelbymccaul6505]

2.7 swap!?

[@brianlim1601]

Does anyone know why 1.8t is a better platform for power? 13:10

[@Long-nd8bq]

not much more you can do with a 3.0 car. Stock it's faster than a 1.8T car, but the 1.8T can be tuned, big turbo swap, etc. More potential. My 1.8T B6 has 550cc injectors, test pipe, full exhaust, and a custom tune and it has 3500 RPM launch control, no lift shifting, etc. The 3.0 car was a little stronger from the factory but tuning yields only a few hp gain compared to tuning a turbo car. The 3.0 cars are good for 2.7T swaps.

[@brianlim1601]

@@Long-nd8bq you don’t say, i actually own a 2004 1.8t quattro, never thought about modding it, kept it stock since i bought it of someone with 95k now it got 108k. Only problem that i cant fix is an oil leak its not a big inconvenience but it is a problem. Like 2-3 drops a day.

[@2uned08]

I’m also building a b6 a4 track car we should collaborate sometime
