So I'm making plans for a future build on my d15b7 after I swap my z6 into my eg8.
I'm looking to get a a6 cam regrind not sure on all the specs for it cause that stuff just Flys over my head. As the motor sits now it's a stock b7 with the head shaved .100 which bumped my Compression to 12:1 it's in need of a serious tune haha. I'd like to get longer rods to bring the r/s ratio up.i wouldn't mind destroking it to be able to put longer rods in and machining the Pistons to bring down the compression height. I'd also like to knife edge the crank and have it balanced.
Mod plans
Stronger and longer rods
.5mm bigger low compression pistons to compensate for the longer rods
Possibly a shorter stroke crankshaft to allow for longer rods If needed
Knifed edge crank shaft balanced
Crank scraper
A6 regrind
Port and polished the head weld and reshape the bowl
5 angle valve job
Lightened flywheel
Removing powersteering
Full exhaust
Upgrading to ITBS
Switch from wires to coils using AEM
Titanium valve spring retainers
Bronze valve guides
New bearings
Arp head studs
I'm not looking to build a high horsepower engine just building a fun motor that can Rev a little higher then the stock b7 so when I finally find me a hatchback shell I can drop it in. I've drove a couple high horsepower cars but my eg8 with my b7 is by far the most fun car I've drove but my b7 will keep up with 5.0 foxbodys lol and it will put you back in the seat and it surprises my friends. So what do yall think of my plans so far. Any machine work will be done by me or my dad at his machine shop.
