Help finding parts for a04 A4 3.0 !!

[Sky_69420@hotma]

Hey,

I have a 2004 A4 3.0 TIP AWD that I will soon be starting a project on.

I will be adding a RS4 body kit and R8 rims. I also want to add some performance parts. I want to add an exhaust system, cold air intake, chip the engine and maybe coils to lower the car. I was going to go for the turbo but I don’t want to drop 3G's for power that I don’t need and probably shouldn’t have.. lol

My problem is im havening a hard time finding wholesale performance parts for a 3.0. I used to use car domain but they seem to very little parts for a 3.0 and their site is not working very well.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

forget about power if you are not even willing to drop 3G.
RS4 front conversion get it from LLtek but i dont think you will do it after you see the price.
just do a nice subtle body kit, coilovers, wheels, and exhaust.

[Sky_69420@hotma]

I am getting it from LLtek and I negotiated the price.

Its not the im not willing to drop 3 g's on performance parts it just that im not willing to drop them just on a turbo charger. Im not racing at the moment and there is no organized racing in Vancouver. I herd of some people going down to Seattle to race there cars but im not sure of the details on that, so I don’t need a turbo right now. I can easy get another 120+ horse power with a few key upgrades and tweaks, that I would have to do anyways if I got a turbo.

You sure were all thinking of the same motor here?

[PCYC]

thats what she said. 3.0 are freaking expensive to mod, and the chip add 5-6 hp on pump. meth and nitrous maybe? but its not the easily modded 1.8t.

[Sky_69420@hotma]

Yea with a good chip you can gain over 65HP on a 3.0 and yes its around $450 for a chip.

But that’s not the point I want to know if you guys have any good online supplier’s or do you buy your parts locally?

How exactly are you going to get a gain of 65hp out of a 3.0 w/o forced induction???

[PCYC]

word. where is this chip shit ill buy two. just because i feel like iam cheating the company.

ill even buy one for the my 3.2 a6, and my 3.0 a4

who make the chip? that would be awsome! Please be real! please be real!

No way in hell a chip could give 65 hp on the 3.0.

Just curious. Where did you get that info from? I've never heard of a chip for 3.0 that can increase your HP by that much. I highly suspect that the chip you were referring to would be compatible only with 1.8T.

Get a supercharger and call it a day if you crave for more power out of your 3.0.

[A4natomical]

funny thread.

hahahaha. right. funniest shit i have heard all morning.

[Ill 3.0]

I don't even know where to start...

[skeeball]

I'm not even gonna touch it.

[illaudiill]

I have a 3.0 ....Milltek FULL exhuast system and Hyper flow intake 14HP....Chip .....17 HP.....Crank pully, Shafts, Gears, Flywheel, Power steering....22 HP to the engine 37 to the Wheels. a total of 53 HP from mods....car pushin....273 BHP with a total of $2900 spent

Throw in another $100 to make it an even $3,000 and then do a run or two on a dyno (and prepare to be surprised/disappointed).

I've never heard of "gears" making more power...please expound

moreso, do they make a manual steering rack for the B6? If so, could someone chime in on it's drivability with all that weight up front...

This became kindof a flame thread here... bottom line, do some searching and you'll see why everyone here is laughing... forced induction is where you make real power, for some reason people all over continue to use 'honda-math' to try and estimate hp...when even hondas don't get big gains on all the little parts...it's that fact that they do 100s of things and spend thousands just to get their n/a #s up...

with exh, intake + tuned (chip), you're looking at a peak gain of 6-12hp, and a couple thousand bucks lighter... you won't see much more then that without a power adder.

it's a pretty much all or nothing deal... either drop the 5-7k on s/c, exh, intake, tuning, etc... or it's not really worth it IMO...

that is all.

[Ill 3.0]

exactly. plus since when did Milltek make downpipes for the 3.0?

[Sky_69420@hotma]

Ok I made a slight mistake I was talking about the wrong chip the diesel chip which gives you a 26% increase in horse power. Which would have given me around 65 horse with the other upgrades installed.

I found this programming chip that gives you a guaranteed increase between 20-25% Hp increases. I talked to the company’s rep told them I would be dyno testing it and they gave me a full money back guarantee. So on top of my manifold bypass it’s going to be around A 60+ HP increase. You guys can say want you want about company’s lying about their chips, put company’s tend to lose money if they offer a money back guarantee and then lie about your product’s. For the guy who said are you sure it’s not for a 1.8. The bigger the engine the more HP gain you can get. That’s why trucks can get near 100 HP gains.

Its only $300 a very good price compared to other programmers and chips

Next time I won’t even bother with the details. Ill just ask for a good place to buy parts.

[Ill 3.0]

Ok. Good luck and be sure to post up dynos afterwards.

[lfloodt]

well i have a 3.0 and had 2 2.8's and never heard of such big gains w/o a sc. at first i thought you made a typo and meant "5-6 hp!" so keep us all updated on the $300 65hp gain, please.....

First off I'd like to know what a "manifold bypass" is...and who tried to sell it to you...


It's one thing to read hype from a given company or website... But just take a step back and think...A "chip" isn't some magic device that unlocks some engine easter egg the oem didn't want you to have... The "chip" is resocketing your ecu and replacing it with a eeprom chip... All that's on that chip is a different tune... Now typically, this tune will be a leaner a/f through most of the powerband, and more timing... what you need to see is that you can only tune 'so far'... after that, you can't squeeze any more power out of a motor without moving more air (higher comp, s/c, turbo) or creating a hotter dischare (no2). The folks over in deutschland have done a fantastic job of tuning the car from the factory, and there's little margin for improvement... that margin is there to account for environmental variables considering they market the car all over the planet...

if you make an additional 60hp on pump with a stock 3.0 using just fuel/ignition tuning, the keys to my B6 will be waiting for you...

For the guy who said are you sure it’s not for a 1.8. The bigger the engine the more HP gain you can get.

1.8t > 3.0 n/a

That’s why trucks can get near 100 HP gains.

Most of those pushrod v8s are choked off at both the intake and exhaust sides, running rich from the factory to increase reliability, toting laughable cam profiles... Hence the reasons people can make those gains from big displacement motors... Those same motors see HUGE gains when forced induction is thrown in the mix...

Next time I won’t even bother with the details. Ill just ask for a good place to buy parts.

May sound harsh, but you're doing the right thing by posting here... talk to the folks that have done this before... Forums in general are a great place to find out what works and what doesn't, granted you still need to weed out the b/s here and there...but we're a dose of reality...everybody needs that from time to time.

[Sky_69420@hotma]

As i said before the chip gain is after all the tuning and upgrades not on the stock engine. I talked to the company rep i didn't read some BS off a web site.

+1

and I'll finish with that...

Seriously, please start thinking about what you're writing here. Do you honestly believe a tuner can find a 30+% increase in power for a normally-aspirated engine that he's never laid eyes upon in your particular configuration and is tuning via remote control?

While I find it almost impossible to believe a tuner can find 65hp by optimizing just the fueling/timing of a stock 3.0L engine (which is all that a chip can do), there's absolutely no way I can believe they can find 65hp in an engine that's been modified from stock in several critical ways without 1) having physical access to the car in which it's installed and 2) strapping it to a dyno!

Not trying to slam you here, just educate you a bit, as we all had to start somewhere...

[Audized]

For the guy who said are you sure it’s not for a 1.8. The bigger the engine the more HP gain you can get. That’s why trucks can get near 100 HP gains.

Most of the trucks have some sort of forced induction. By simply modifying fuel/air ratios on a N/A engine, it's hard to believe you can gain that much. Having said that, you had mentioned that the chip is meant for 3.0 with upgrades and special tuning. I suppose 65 HP isn't impossible then. Good luck and make sure you report back so other 3.0 owners can benefit from your experience.

[AudiA4Turbo22]

HAHA! JEGS is not made for Euro cars! and my friend bought a similar chip for his 07 camry for like $100 and it wires to ur MAF sensor, and it made it slower!

[nimski62]

LISTEN TO THEM dude. lol i didnt, and I now have a blown up 3.0 sittin pretty in the garage.

[3.0 King]

reading seems to help those in need of info, ya!
