S4 NA Auto No 5/6th big exhaust leak
02/23/08 7:54PM
~6mo after building this engine alone with the Atkins video on my parents' garage floor, all new hard/soft seals, rotor housings @~130K [I don't actually know, my friend gave me these because the old ones were thrashed 159K housings]
Also I had an aftermarket single cat, stock catback and a 1" gap between the manifold and the pipe.
[Hence, no chance of 5/6th...]
Also the stupid guy hit the rev limiter a couple times.. Scared me pretty bad.. lol

Well when I'm running it hard I rev it to 7500.... Not sure what was wrong with the guy at Unnatural though.. They even had a max rev field on the signup sheet that I put either 7500 or 7000 in, but seems they didn't look :P
I need to throughly verify that the 5th/6th ports are working next time and then we'll know how worthwhile it is for it to rev past the line. ^_^

lol... Just because it was a cheap dyno day [$35 for the 3 pulls], and I was curious. Oh, also because it was running a motor I built alone with no experience. [This is the reason I want to do it again with better exhaust and working 5th/6th ports]
I had seriously thought about taking the FB I'd just purchased over for it, but I didn't want to mess with switching the insurance over just for that. [at the time, the FB did feel faster.. It was a GSL with a stripped down interior]

hehe yea. It's definitely much MUCH faster with the 5sp in it.
Since then I've gotten an RB collected header and presilencer along with a good condition stock catback.. So in theory I should have working 5th/6th ports [still have to test that]
Though there is an exhaust leak at the front of the presilencer: the studs were collapsing bad when I took the presilencer/y-pipe off to change the driveshaft and trans mounts a few weeks ago.. I was afraid to do any more than gingerly tighten them..
I'll try to remember to bring up the idea of a Dyno day for the next local meeting.
