A6 camshaft in A1 problem

[wildBill83]

Have you bled the coolant via the bleeder valve on the thermostat housing?

We are way past that now. Its determined that it lopes due to the more aggressive cam profile.

And yes I did via the bleeder valve on the thermostat housing.

I have an A6 and it doesn't lope and I didn't see where you actually confirmed it had a regrind other than suspicion in the thread. Did you remove the dizzy and look at the end of the cam? Where there any markings on the cam itself to identify it as a regrind?

Got a photo of the cam?

Also when I put the H23 plenum and an IAB spacer on my car it idles a bit like it lopes... just throwing that out there.

I think maybe you should reread the thread. All that is in here I promise.

As for a pic of the end of the cam I don't have a photobucket account and i just got done with the ignition timing. When I get around to making an MRT I will have some pics but I don't have any of the end of the cam because I thought it was a regular A6 camshaft.

I also have functional IABs. No spacer.

I have functional IABs too.

Sorry, I missed where you said it was a 272.

*foot in mouth*

No problem.

I was under the impression that the item below was an IAB spacer. And if so one would either not have functional IABs due to the IAB plate and butterflys being removed or they would have double stacked a spacer with the IAB plate and butterflys.

Double stacked with longer bolts. Adds length to the runners. H22/H23 plenum is a larger volume plenum than the A6 plenum too and the throttle body is a nice addition as well.

Here is an example (not my intake and appears both plates are non-functional):

Also look here for stacked with functional IABs (also not my intake):

Thanks for the information. I'm looking for more modifications to do before I go and have it tuned. I think I'm just going to stick with my H23/A6 setup as far as the intake manifold.

Friday morning I'm going to order an Apexi WS2 catback, Magnaflow direct fit catalytic converter and a red AEM short ram intake. That should do the trick before having it tuned.

As for gauges I just ordered a Glowshift 94-01 Integra A pillar gauge pod and AEM digital gauges. I got the UEGO wideband, oil pressure and oil temp gauges. I already have the oil filter sandwich adapter for the oil gauges.

So I should be ready to go have it tuned by the end of next week when I'm on vacation.

I contacted Humble Performance about that ECU. They record the number on the ECU I guess so they had the info on hand. I will not be able to just plug it in because the car it came from had high compression and some other stuff done that I don't have.

Its an older S 100 Hondata as well. But they can still tune on it no problem.

I need a wideband in order for them to tune it. I already ordered an AEM one and it should be here friday. Along with AEM digital oil press and temp.
