Ok guys on monday my car goes under the knife with ECS

Base kit at first but things changed rather quickly

New plan... blower kit with the Paxton 1500

AR long tubes

ECS blower cam with supporting hardware, oil pump and C5R timing chain

3'' exhaust BB Fusion and meth kit

Plus an ECS upgraded A6 to live under the new power.

Finally to finish this project off my new friend Gerry at wheels for less is putting the new 360 forged GT2 U series in full carbon

please feel free to comment on any additional things im missing


Thanks Guys

I just wanted to add the guys at ECS are great...... Chris and Doug took a lot of time helping me decide they were very patient with me. I'm a life long customer i would never stray !

Nice! Essentially the exact same setup I have on my car but mine is A&A with a Vortech T-trim (same blower). You'll love it! Looking forward to hearing results!

londonk

Im sure they will post results. How do you like the way your car feels for the seat of the pants power

NSANEC6

Nice build. Great looking car! Looking forward to seeing the results.

It's nasty! T-trim spools quick and power is at an instant tap of the pedal. Car rolls hard!

Stock short block? A6 or 6speed hows the car holding up ?

WickedVetteLT4

Stock block. Built circle D 6L80E w/ 3800 FTI converter. Holding up great so far on 13lbs with meth. I was going to swap to a YSi but ill most likely be keeping the T-trim so I don't lose power under the curve. Car went 9.55 @ 144 w/ a 1.5 60ft.

i was wanting to do a converter but i was worried about drivability... how does it do on trips ?

WickedVetteLT4

Honestly... It's great! I'd drive it anywhere. The converter is aggressive but its hardly any different when just cruising around. It's the perfect size IMO to perform but keep drivability unaffected.

SWEET, Thats gonna be a nasty b1tch. Sounds like you will need a fuel system and whats in ECS upgraded A6? How much boost?

Le Mans Z06

He won't need it, but that should probably be the next step. Sounds like a solid build.

DOUG @ ECS

In the works already, we'll post up pics along the way. Oh and yes the car is getting our stg 1 fuel system too.

algZO6

quit beating around the bush. what did you guys come up with for the A6?!?!?!

londonk

Im in Cincinnati Ohio so i think im above sea level somewhat, so i want the car to run strong !!! so i told Them to just go ahead and do the trans to. I dont trust anyone around here to work on my car. So its a long way back to ECS if it breaks. So im thinking do it all at once and be done with it....The next time it goes back is for a forged 416 and what ever els. Im very excited i usually dont get worked up over any car but im digging this one

speedraider

you are gunna crap yourself when you feel the power, Mine is absolutely sick and that is without a cam. Oh yeah, sticky tire time.

DOUG @ ECS

We have been building A6's for a long time, nothing new really. I will post up a break down of what is switched out when I have a little more time.

londonk

Oh yes... i hope i do crap myself LOL because its really hard to go backwards when you modify cars... This is what i came out of last year. It was truly a monster and would burn rubber going a 100 Mph with big Mickeys on the rear....this car sounded like gates of hell were opening at wot... im going to miss that car! New doors open and old ones shut...

That C5 is sick!!

You'll be happy with this setup. Car will be nasty but completely practical at the same time!

For sure ... I had an exhaust ordered that was a 3" system the vender told me it was ready to ship and it was on hand well that was BS its not on hand its sitting in a warehouse 3000 miles away from my car so now its back to square one. Im going to have to purchase a new system and overnight it to the guys at ECS. Im saying this because i dont want to put a rift in the rotation of the shop its a matter of common courtesy to the guys working on my car...The first vender said it was a 3" system but come to find out it was a standard system. 2 1/2" So ill try again in the morning to find a vender who knows the difference in the two sizes lol
Im liking the new Borla but it bottle necks at the muffler to 2" so that not an option. What exhaust do you have?

Luffsvette

I am intersted in this as well. look forward to the trans upgrades
