hahaha im not a n00b to the euros

cimg0703vt6.jpg

thats my old ride, always loved the audis! will be happy hopping back in one...

yes the parts are expensive, but the build quality, engines and drive is superior to alot on the road!

Sewid- im mates with a couple of APR dealers, and a full exhaust in stainless turbo back is about 2.5k and to chip the computer will be about 1200 but that gives about 50more kw and 80 or so nm so there isnt much else you need to do! Ill eventually do apr stage 3 which will see almost 300kw at all 4 reliably!

abo- yeah the newer models have the V8s thats what your thinking of maybe? turbo goodness is better IMO.... depends what brakes and where.... the afm is a bit dodgey on the one im buying and shall be replaced for $300 new one... not bad!

WTF - i know ill love the s4, drove it for a while tonight, so refined and effortless i was just crusing through the gears and looked down to be doing 20+ the speed limit! that damn massive torque curve is to blame!!!

insurance is less than half that of the skyline... go figure!

I thought they had 280kw at the fly. Maybe that's slightly newer models.

Parts are the biggest ripoff ever. My boss has an A8 and the fuel pump died. $2k just for the pump.

That's the RS4 model, Adam.

The old RS4 (same model as Haysey's, the B5, but with higher-spec everything on the 2.7TT V6) had 280kW flywheel.

The newer (and still current) B6-series S4 has the new 4.0l V8 and cranks out 253kW at the flywheel, and the RS4 has 309kW. Strange fact about the new Audi V8 motors as used in the S4/RS4: they use a timing chain, but it's at the BACK of the motor to make it shorter so it fits in the engine bay.

you used to be my dori hero Ed. now your just a metro in a euro car..

:thumbsup:

give me your car sammeh and ill happily drift it anyday.... dont worry mate ill get the Haldex Diff upgrade to make the car more RWD biased and come drift it :worship:

Is the S4 a car where you can do DIY mods? (Or even want to try)

It is to a certian extent, its got full audi service history so ill continue that on so i get good resale, not audi servicing but im mates with an audi specialist, im not going to mod the engine much apart from intake, exhaust, chip and later down the track RS4 turbos and intercoolers....

Ill more than likely do suspension/ sound system myself and brakes......

Its more the fact that i dont want to be stuffing around with cars in every spare minute i have, yeah i enjoy it but not if i have to fix a car before i go to work the next day.... im buying one that is quick, complete and i wont want to mod for a while... its just a time constraint mainly and the fact that i want to get in, have fun, take it on long journeys and not worry..

GoldZilla - the best thing is that everything RS4 bolts up to the S4.... so with RS4 goodies on it good for about 450hp :domokun:

I never use to think much of Audi's but I have to say i am a big fan these days..

Especially of the new RS6 Avant wagon..

Claims they have around 600hp

same. but i prefer the sedan..

i wish i could rid myself of my car.

mmm audi S4. the gay mans thinking mobile. or is it the thinking mans gay mobile. I forget which, but the message is clear.

1600kg AWD with 200kw (about 150awkw i'm guessing) it's not my faviourite recipe for excitment. but i can't argue that it will have a far nicer interior than the skyline.

0-100kmh in 5.5sec, full boost by 1800rpm..... thats pretty fun in stock form, chip, exhaust intake will make it a sec or so quicker easy!

Heading down to canberra again tomorrow to drive this blue one

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
