Audi S6 With 5.2L V8 - It's 1995 yet still a beast

Joel Francisco’s 1995 Audi S6 began its life with a turbocharged 2.2L inline-five engine, which was a powerhouse in its own right. But Joel, an Audi enthusiast and gearhead, had bigger dreams for his beloved car.

The V8 Adventure

First, Joel decided to up the ante by swapping the original engine for a turbocharged 4.2L V8 from an Audi RS6. This V8 brought a significant boost in power and performance, giving the S6 a new lease on life. However, the thrill was short-lived as the V8 eventually gave out. But Joel wasn’t ready to give up.

The V10 Beast

Taking the next big leap, Joel installed a naturally aspirated 5.2L FSI V10 from an Audi S6 (C6). This powerhouse of an engine, paired with Lamborghini Huracán headers, breathed new fire into the car. The exhaust system featured 2.5-inch pipes, allowing for an exhilarating sound and performance. The factory S6 ECU was expertly tuned by Blake Beadle to ensure the V10 operated at its peak.

The Transmission Transformation

To handle the immense power of the V10, Joel equipped the S6 with a 01E six-speed manual transmission. This setup was made possible by incorporating an RS4 rear timing cover and an A6 (C6) bellhousing spacer. This not only improved the car's performance but also added to the driving pleasure with precise manual control.
