HI5! We rock! :no:

seriously though, it shits me when a car has the same colour plates then the car... it shows a complete lack of creativity... it can be hard to read if your running from the cops though...

Hey Heysey,

Sorry - old post but want to say congrats!

I too went from a Skyline (R33 gts-t ser2) to an Audi S4 :(

Done any more mods yet??

I got a little carried away with mine.. Was just about to upgrade turbos but instead had to move overseas for work and thus sell!!

I'm sure you have done a fair bit of research but to give you a better indication.. With just a chip (Giac tho) and cat back exhaust (which almost went the whole way up the car) managed a 13.003 and 1.8s 60ft (first time out to WSID, heavy 19's and a seriously slipping clutch!) Power wise was more like 250 kw's - running 1.55 bar of boost too (would hit 1.55 by about 2250 rpm)

Things you must change - Throttle body boot, BOV's (get rid of the plastic stockies) and you will prob go through a couple of AFM's even with the stock airbox..

Some recommendations:

- C/O's, Sway bars and semi slicks make the thing stick like s%$t to a blanket!!!

- Go Giac chip...

- Get a manual boost control (to smoothen boost from fluctuating)

- Go exhaust from turbo back (lots of work involved tho)

- Upgrading turbos is the way to go (but expect about 10k+ and then some)

- Upgrade you I/C's to RS4 units.. Much better flow and much better cooling

If you haven't spoken to Nils (Milka) on the audi forum already.. I suggest you do.. The amount of times I went to his place for help on little things haha

Ohh one more thing.. I very highly recommend upgrading the centre diff to the Stassis centre diff (for the S4) it sends about 20% more power to the rears and helps a huge amount on reducing understeer and more oversteer - which is needed on this car!!!

Well ive finally stopped driving it long enough to take some pics.... and after having it just over a week now im totally in love... i never knew a car could be so good out of the factory....

as one of my mates put it, this car is over engineered! it hits full boost by 1800rpm, no need for a hard launch, it does 0-100 in 5.5, even less with a chip... the recaros are beautiful, soo comfortable, havent been sore or restless at all, the standard bose sound system is great, the car handles so well i cant think quick enough to keep up with it yet, so throwable into corners, tad of understeer then hard on the gas and the car just sticks and pulls... the dash is soo nice to look at, white on red... just beautiful!

can throw 5 people in the car, still be comfortable, and the car still feels bolted to the road, safe, secure, and farken quick...

ill get it chipped shortly, as the chip improves the performance so much its like bolting a highflow into a stock rb25... just mental!

ill tint it, maybe a subtle exhaust for better breathing, chip, and just polish the body back up to immaculate..

really i couldnt be happier, ive had my fun in the skyline, ill get one to drift in a couple of years... and ill still float around here...

now for the pics!

Hey mate,

hows the os thing going? didnt you sell your S4 before you left?

Ive just stuck a full turbos back exhaust on her, 3.5" dumps to 2.5" split piping all the way back, the power increase is pretty nice and it wants to rev its tits off all the time now! i cant believe the difference its made! but fark it was a pain in the ass to install!!!! ...as for a chip ive been leaning towards GIAC now heard better things about them...

Ive done the TBB, threw an upgraded stock one in there while i waited for the samco one to come so ive even got a spare! ill probs stick 710Ns in just as a precautionary measure..

Coilovers are definately on the cards, just tossing up how much i want to spend etc, im thinking H&R ones from the states going for $1200 ish..

sways are in order!

semi slicks.. hmmm

i want to make it handle a bit better, dont have the cash to blow on turbos just yet! she does have 120km on it so they will prob go in the next year or so, then ill get serious on the engine work and make her an animal! with the ICs, ive almost been tossing up a front mount kit...

havent spoken to Nils yet but i will shortly...

ill post some updated pics with the tints and the awesome detail that was done on her makes it look alot better.. now for some B6 S4 rims or BBS Ch and coilovers :D

yours looked tidy as.. how many kms on it?

Andrew.... lucky mum cant drive manual or she might like my car too much!!!

Yeah going very well!! Tax is fantastic over here, only one problem for me..... I miss cars soooooooooooooo much!!

haha good to see you are doing research before jumping into things..

Will pm you from ozaudi about a couple of things :P

When I bought it I only had like 45k's on it (but that was many years ago now)..

Talk soon

Rob

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
