3liter fun!

[3.0 King]

just for fun lets build a 3liter and try for a budget of $5,000. lets see what we can do and what gains are made.

part list:

AWE LWFW/clutch combo-$1,200-$1,800 instl.
Stasis cntr-diff-chng 4/1 88%rearbias12%front-$550-$770 instl.
3.0 King downpipes-$900DIY
Milltek resonated cat-back exhst-$900DIY
GIAC chip-$200DIY
Shortshifter-$200DIY
Stasis Coilovers$900DIY

over budget by $670, it is what it is.
Thats $5,760 dollars on a build that gains you what? Well the car will feel like its on rails and the power made by the chip, dp's, exhst, LWFW should bring a solid 25-35hp increase. that puts the car right around 250chp not bad and you know the car will be solid and sound amazing. who's first...lol

To anyone that has not heard a 3.0 with 3.0 King's downpipes and a Milltek exhaust, it sounds absolutely amazing. I couldn't believe it was a Milltek when I heard Craig's car.

[04a430]

has anyone used that differential in an auto/tip? if so, what were the gains?

[T0M3K]

Sounds interesting, how about economical, all engine parts?
I'm just trying to fit my budget somewhere

There's also supersprint headers to go with that noise.

[Papachristou]

why didnt you DIY on the clutch/differential? that differential install is super easy! i love how it makes the car handle... we have same suspension and diff mod... you are right, the car does handle like its on rails, i can do things other people dont even think are possible in a car!

[Gondi Stylez]

I'm waiting on the DPs!!!

[AudiA4_20T]

you can do the diff mod and save $400

[TonyD]

Stasis raised their prices on the Street Sports.

[3.0 King]

point is...shit cost money! u slice it 2ways i slice it threeways still cost the same...lol

[AudiA4_20T]

lol Steve believe me I know... I thought since I had the parts already this new motor was going to be cheap

[LivingLegend]

Anyone have any video of how this sounds?

[AudiA4_20T]

If God made an exhaust, it would probably sound damn similar

[A4ringedONE8T]

How do you figure a LWFW gains you power???

You haven't heard the F50 then.

[edge19lw]

is the giac chip really only $200? i thought it was more

[Craigo]

How do you figure a LWFW gains you power???

It gains you power the stock clutch is robbing you of.

anyone know where to find those downpipes?

[AudiA4_20T]

anyone know where to find those downpipes?

PM steve (3.0 King)

[Ill 3.0]

they'll be available soon from 3.0 King. I should have some in a few weeks and I'll post pictures. You can PM 3.0 King if you're interested, also details are available in a thread I started several weeks ago.

[aaaudiprotein]

Why not to make a custom exhaust for much cheaper?

[3ohAvant]

i'd do more of the DIY, do a magnaflow system to say some money, throw on some used h-sport sways found on AZine classifieds, then i'd do a ram air intake (more throttle resp).

sell OE wheels, buy lighter 18" wheels, and get some good 245" rubber.

but the rest looks good to me!

^^^ditto, your so right i tried things in my car that i would never try in another car and i felt safe while driving like a shit head

let me know how you do the ram air!! i want better throttle response damn it

[PCYC]

i am so close to that setup, i just need the diff, chip, and new suspension and i am almost there haha
where do you get the Giac chip for 200 and how intensive is the DIY?

[3ohAvant]

Sorry brain fart, I meant to say velocity stacked intake. Either way, I still got much better throttle resp from it.

I did it this way: Get a stack, filter, and a silicon reducer, ohh and 2 clamps : )

FWIW, I left the OE air tunnel in place.




I have a stack on my audi, i'd have one on the porsche too, but it won't fit, its too big. My brother has one on his 1.8t GTi, and my parents on their ML55.

can we see a pic of your setup, i wanted to run an intake and was curiuos to see how this would look.

Ok, lets say I'm happy with the road holding on the Sport Suspension already. Lets cut the cost and give the engines the full tread. Cut the shoping list short and see - hmmmm still some serious $$$ for 35HP gain.

3.0 King downpipes-$900DIY
Milltek resonated cat-back exhst-$900DIY
GIAC chip-$200DIY

Total $2000

[Maverick]

first, never waste money on GIAC file because it costs around $500. the gain is in single digit so go figure. you do get better throttle response and no more speed governer.

more of the 3.0 owners should step up the game to fight against the 1.8T Bt/BAT/BAMFT guys.

if any of you wants to do the built Torque Converter and Valve Body, let me know. they need to be done at the same time.

Ya any pics if its possible (Any problems when raining?)

[3ohAvant]

The breather ws from a local auto parts place, under $10. it fits on the OE hose.

and yeah, I know, its filthy. I'll get it cleaned soon. that and I've been way too lazy, and have not made a heat shield, although literally once in motion, the air isn't any hotter than w/ a stock airbox. (i've VAG logged it)

its way up high, so not a big rain prob. its no more an issue than stock, I use the OE factory "air tunnel" i forget the name of that thing right now.

[G Men 08]

hmm looks simple enough.. pretty noticable throttle response eh?..

[3ohAvant]

very easy, and yup, much better throttle resp.
