You will love the AUDI - they're tops cars :whistling:

Although they're a bit of a "wifes" car - good for her to do the shopping and get the kids from school then dad can give it a bit of punishment on the weekend

Was it like this one?

I tell ya what the GAYEST part of this whole thing is....

Starting the thread with...

the time has come!

FFS! can someone be a little bit more original :blink:

Oh.. and AUDI sucks.

Induction Twin Turbo intercooled

Power 195kW @ 5800rpm

Torque 400Nm @ 1850rpm-3600rpm

Acceleration 0-100Km/h 5.7 secs

Kerb Weight 1615kg

Chip it and get an extra 60 or so kw and alot more torque, then exhaust and intake and im flying!

Sorry mars! ill change it to

Id rather have a big debt and a newer car than an old skyline when i can afford to pay off a new car!??

buy a 180 ya fag

...and be like everyone else? :P

It's sad letting a car go, my current runabout goes on the market as soon as the Stagea lands from Japland.

As much as it has cost to keep it on the road and caused me a lot of problems i'm going to miss it. :google:

Best of luck with the Audi! :nyaanyaa:

servicing isnt too bad actually... its the parts that are a tad more expensive... but still not as bad as getting them overnight delivered from jaapaaaan

im over my imports at the moment, its twin turbo sleeper time!

A mate of mine who used to be on these forums went from a R33 gts-t to a 2.7l tt S4. Said the same stuff as you. Cat back exhaust set him back 5k and took 6 months to manufacture and send from the US. Getting someone local to chip it was a rort they wanted $1600 to load some software.

Things may have changed since then but i doubt its cheap yet.

Dont listen to them Ed! you will love the S4, i used to have a B6 1.8T Quattro work car and that was a very nice drive. Just remember with euro's you go through more brake discs compared to a jap car (usually every 2-3 sets of pads)

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
