a6 head on a1

[Code: CB7]

would i be able to put an a6 head on a stock a1?

i found one that my uncle built up, and it would be awesome if we could put in on

Edit: Sorry about the title. not very specific..

Yes it can be swapped on

Just remember that you need a pt6 ecu to run thoughs parts

He could still run it with the pt3, it's not that much more of an agressive fuel map. Now, if he puts the a6 IM on, then he would want to think about the pt6. I bought my car with a pt3 running the Stage 1 cam with no problems at all.

HOWEVER: If the head has been built; valve job, PNP, more aggressive cam, etc; a tunable ECU and a dyno tune should be done to get the most benefit and prevent damaging the engine.

Correct. A PT3 will run it, a PT6 would run it better... but if it's modified, then no stock tune will run it as it should be run. It will require a dyno tune to really pull all the power possible from it. However, the F22A head flows VERY well, so if it was properly modified, it'll be worth the investment.

All F22A heads are the same casting. The chunk of aluminum that is the actual head is the same between all SOHC F22A variants. It's just the cam, valve springs, and manifolds that are different.

if you do the head swap , it would be at your best intrest to put on a h23 intake manny on as well . to get the fully power , do it once and done.if you take the head off , you must take both manny's off.

thanks for all the info guys!

but i finally read this thread

startin to think about just stickin' with the a1 head and building it up.
or would putting on the a6 head bring more power?

Your only advantage would be the a6 cam and valve springs. If you are planning on replacing those in your build than just get an a1 head.

You're welcome for the info. It's a shame you didn't really understand it...

The heads are the same. The camshaft, valvesprings, and manifold are different. If you do any sort of "build" whatsoever, you'll be replacing all the parts that make the heads different... so it doesn't matter what F22A head you start with as a base.

yeah sorry... i'm pretty new at this.
i don't understand much of anything really.

In that case, the first thing you need to upgrade is your head. Learn about engines in general, then learn about your specific engine, THEN focus on how to make it better. You seem to be doing it backwards, and that's only going to end up costing you a lot of money, and getting poor results in return.

If you just ask for performance suggestions, you're going to get all the ignorant kiddies on here throwing part names at you. Half of them won't even know what they're talking about... so if YOU don't know, that could cause problems if you just follow them blindly!
