C7 A6 1/4 Fast List

[DecadenceFTW]

I see a lot of stuff about S6/7's and how fast they are stock and tuned, but not much about the A6. Why is that? The A6 is a great platform to start with, and an excellent one to tune. So why is there not a list for people with the A vs S who might have a Stage I or Stage II tune? No interest? If I do end up getting the A6, I am making it my personal responsibility to provide stock/Stage I/Stage II numbers for forum members. That's 0-60 times, AWHP dyno numbers, etc. I have an HD cam, GoPro, and other tools that I plan on doing comparison videos with. Sooo...assuming I get home in one piece...and assuming I do pick the A6 and not the B9 S4 or C7 S6...then you will see these things. :)

There is a lot of info on tuned 3.0 motors in the B8 and B8.5 S4 section. Just more interest there. I would bet that most with S6, S7, A6 and A7 owners don't flash tune their ECU just because of the buyer demographics. Look up bhvrdr and he has lots of info on chipwerke piggybacks and Unitronic ecu flashes. That search will lead you to lots of other info including stage 2 flashes with a smaller supercharger pulley and an oversized crank pulley. EPL had a deal including an oversized crank pulley and a flash for it.

I would also check around because the last time that I checked, the newer C7.5 3.0 TFSI motors have a new ECU that hadn't been cracked by any of the tuners. It could have changed since I last checked though.

Yea, I frequent the B8 and 8.5 S4 sub-forum, I guess I was hoping to see something specifically for the A6. It's heavier, different breed of car...would love to see its own brand of attention, not something regurgitated from a different car. But maybe I'm asking too much haha.

I guess I thought that guys get an A6 because it has the same engine as the S4...but with more luxury. So since it's a bit detuned or has to carry more weight, or whatever...I figured throwing an APR Stage I or equiv on the A6's would be pretty standard. Guess I was wrong. I would be getting a C7, not 7.5, although I have been reading up on and subbing to the threads about problems people are having with tuning them.

I'll eventually post the results of the different stages my A7 has been through as soon as I get time to hit the track. I unfortunately don't have any stock results, dyno, track times etc.

I agree on more A6/A7 info since the only cars to compare to are the B8S4. The 2 biggest differences that make for an apples to oranges comparison is the weight difference and ZF tranny.

when I got this car i too wondered why there wasn't a dedicated thread for performance on the non-s. I have read that the 2012/2014/2016 all have different performance times.

Between here and Audiworld, there's some good info on tuning the A6 & S4 (more specifically, the 3.0T). I loved that supercharged engine and it has a lot of potential. I used own a C7 A6.
Since you are considering a C7 S6, I'd test drive them both extensively before making the purchase. I'll just it at that.

Sounds good, I don't frequent AudiWorld as much. I'll swing in over there and see what I can find. :)

I'm stg2 APR and will take my C7A6 to the track at some point for just for fun. I expect a mid to low 12 at ~112-115mph. The biggest factors are RPM range due to the ZF and the actual gear ratios of the 8spd ZF. The low RPMs make a significant difference compared tot he S4s as these motor make their highest HP in the later RPMs. I'd driven several modded B8(.5) S4 as a point of reference. My car also easily walks stock B8(.5) S4s.

I thought of doing stock through stage changes on the dyno as we have a local AWD dyno that I'm able to get on easily. The tuner didn't make himself available to meet at the dyno and go through each thing (understandable as it's time consuming). I'm curious to see what APR is getting ready to launch (dual pulley, E85?). I think this is a great platformbut for those after the big performance,they're likey to go straight to the S/RS.

Love my Stage II C7 A6. Unfortunately, I maxed out on my performance mods a year after owning it. Now I want an S6 but would be throwing away all the money I put into the damn thing already. Such is the life of the automobile enthusiast, I guess.

I feel it is time to get this thread going again. I recently put on the APR dual pulleys, and am running the APR stage 2 tune. Hoping the rain takes a break so I can head to the Grove and put down a few passes. Then I will continue waiting for the release of the C7 A6 dual pulley tune that should be available in 2-3 weeks lol.

What times are you guys putting down for stage 2?

We have the 3.0t database waiting for you guys to hit the track!

What are your thoughts of adding the crank pulley?
