ok, so a b8 swap isn't my best idea. I guess when the time comes, I'll either sell the car or re-ring the b6.

Hmm, me thinks he needs motivation, possibly metatarsal to gluteus impact.

that's pretty much it, I'm lazy. I want as little effort (and time) as possible for this. as close to directly "plug and play" as I can. my car, my decision.

I can, I just don't want to.

yeah, it feels best between 3500-5500 as far as acceleration goes. so that's a sohc thing then? I kinda thought it should be good to 6 or so. I was wondering about swapping a b8 sohc instead of the bp so I don't have to mess with wiring things up, does the b8 behave the same way?

it's not a huge deal to me, as I don't get up to freeway speeds with it very often anymore. I'm reasonably sure that I have a small exhaust leak where the manifold (header?) bolts to the rest of the system, it's not noisy or anything. that's probably why I can smell it, but I imagine that what I'm s...

It starts to run open loop, ignoring O2 sensors. Verfied with a real time OBDII reader. Keep it under 110kmph.

just for my own info, does it run open loop at idle too? I don't know all this computer stuff.

OBDII B6DE? It starts to run open loop, ignoring O2 sensors. Verfied with a real time OBDII reader. Keep it under 110kmph. so is this pretty normal then? I mean, I can understand the fuel consumption going up some, but to the point you can smell the exhaust while you're going down the freeway? mayb...

The deep dark baffles of HELL open up, and your B6 exuberates incredible amounts of Bad @$$ness!!!

really though sounds like your VICS are running open.. are you running a SOHC or DOHC?

sohc 93 5 speed

I've noticed that my mileage gets much worse if I'm going over 70, which is about 3200 or so, but today I was doing it with the window down and I could smell it! first I thought the old motorcycle in front of me was running rich, but then I realized it was me! is it just because my engine could use ...

or is there some part in the distributor that affects advance?

what controls the timing advance on a sohc b6? is it all in the ecu? mine seems like it's going all over the place when I accelerate.

good to know I'm not alone, but for now it's stopped doing it, so whatever.

cool thanks

what cars do you find the g series in? and how much can they hold up to?

yes, I have the 1.6 sohc, but I was tossing an idea around in my head and wanted to know if the tranny would hold up. these guys running 12's in the 1/4, what tranny are they running?
