the A6 is a great bottom end to build on, just as good as a z6 :thumb:

also, you'll need a P28 ecu. That ECU uses a 4-wire o2 sensor instead of the VX's 5-wire o2. Other than that it should be a direct swap :thumb:

keep the vx wiring harness, the only thing you might need to do is run wires for the 4 wire 02, or modify the harness to make it work. I've never done that swap before so I'm not 100% sure. You'll need the p28 pinout and a 4 wire o2, and then run the wires to the right pins from the 02.

Just buy a stock P28, none of this modifed or chipped junk from ebay. just a bone stock P28, should be about $100.

The P28 is what you need for the z6 head. it's vtec, not vtec-e like the vx has.
