This is essential in an internal combustion engine in which the motion irregularity is the physical effect of the operating principle of the engine itself. The flywheel gets the excess of the engine cycle work versus the lost work, in the form of kinetic energy, by minimizing the angular speed fluctuation. To better understand the reason of that, let's briefly recall the main functions of this very simple device. Not long after this invested into some wheels and at the time a set of Porsche lobsterclaws came up at a good price so put them got bored quite quickly, made the car drive terrible! Shortly after that my better half bought me some kw coil overs and still being in my early 20s it had to be Low Every since buying it always been keen to do a manual swap and this is what she looked like when I first got her.īeing on the spanners as a mechanic it didn’t stay standard for very long, within a few months I had an exhaust built completely straight through no silencers or underfloor cats but opted to have them on flanged so they can be reinstalled.įinally decided to go for it and do a manual swap!Ī little bit of history.I’ve owned the rs6 since around late 2014 and enjoyed owning it very much.Of all the parts that can be replaced or modified, as allowed by the technical rules, when tuning a road car engine into a racing unit, the flywheel is among the first ones on which attention is turned on. ![]() Loads of other stuff happened but on to the 6speed swap Here’s some photos of it actually being used Then just continued to just actually use it daily up untill the last 6 months where a change of job means I’ve now got a works van and no longer needed to use it everyday. So about 3 years ago I managed to pick up a donar car for a steal. Here she is when I first picked her up with MOT for £260Ĭar I managed to bag was a 2.5tdi quattro a6, the reason for this is from what I’ve read the 2.5tdi boxes have the longest 6th gear. Then got annoyed with faffing on the floor so I decided to get involved with the forklift So the Saturday morning 21st dec I removed the engine and gearbox from the rs, not my first time! Now with this swap I’ve sort of just been doing it in my lunch breaks and Saturday mornings and I haven’t managed to take that many photos but I will do my very best to fill in any gaps or if anyone wants so see anything more in-depth. That’s a far as I got up as a couple hours were chewed up by taking the recovery lorry to go pick up the donor car from a friends farm and bringing it back to work. I’m my lunch breaks I got the turbo and manifold removed from the drivers side of the engine to remove to auto box. Photo you can see the flywheel and clutch: The following weekend I got to donor in and removed the following: I also removed the Sai system as the pump hasn’t worked for ages. Got my rocker covers back from the powder coasters and got my new plates through! Ttv flywheel and rs4 clutch kit, the clutch kit I’ll be swapping out to a ringer racing stage 4+ kit once I’ve got everything working and I’m happy with everything. ![]() What flywheel are you using, and how are you going the box to the engine? are you using a spacer plate? Took a while to do this on my phone so sorry for the lack of grammar remove pedal box from donor and slave lineįollow me on Instagram for day to day updates on my story jb weld intercoolers (new ones when I come back from newyork) So hopefully the 4.2 s6 starter will arrive with the correct size gearbox shim tomorrow so I can redrill and grind for the starter position. original 01e uses 10 bolts to secure to engine I think people make more of a big deal about using an adaptor to use all the bolt holes and here’s why: See the first post I did say what flywheel I’m using and it’s a ttv flywheel. original 01e spacer I’ve used is 11.2mm thickness this makes the crank sensor position and clutch throw is correctĪt a later date I might use the spare upper Alu sump I have and re-drill the spare to accept the remaining 3 bolts that leaves one decent bolt hole I haven’t used and I’m happy with that the three bottom bolt holes in gearbox originally boleted through 15mm piece of Alu of the sump of the engine attached (not really holding a great deal due to the structure of what it’s actually attached too in my opinion. Starter motor meshes perfectly with flywheel Got the hole drilled and starter aligned: Hope this helps getting an understanding of my point of view. Reason for this is one the donor car is vile inside and two it’s not a two minute job being stuck in there aha So I set about tackling probably the worst bit in my opinion about the swap and that’s pedal boxes.
