Thanks for the recommendations guys, I will check out IVM when the time comes. I have read a lot of good stuff about 034 and will check them out as well. Hopefully will get my car back soon been in shop over a week.

Sure, I can do anything on a sunday. I wish we had a track around here that wasn't at such a high altitude. I want to race. I took out a VW R32 and a benz SLK350 the other day. Not much of a race but it was fun.

[up_in_boost]

What up peepz...... Im in Reno.... DOnt have a Audi yet but im in the market for a 00' or 01' S4.......
Is there anything thats common to go wrong with the S'4s?

[LowA4]

If you get an 00-01 the F hose and throttle body boot are prone to tear. The 01.5-02 don't have a F hose and the boot is still weak but have updated clamps which don't tear the boot like the previous years. The 01.5 and 02 have updated oil lines for the turbos which is a +, and also have esp (traction control), and has updated badges, which I like. Other than that, Just look for the timing belt being replaced, that's a big one.

The abs module is weak in all and will give a solid brake light and blinking. It costs about 200 to have rebuilt. The engine mounts are weak, they tear and leak the purple fluid out. Mine leaked and ripped the top bolt completely out of the mount as I was passing somebody. Normal things like controls arms will go out eventually too.

Not to bad.......whats the max HP people can take the S4 Motors with stock internals before they start going?

[up_in_boost]

How do the tranny's like hard launches? lol...... i will be taking the car to the track from time to time..............

[mrmeth90]

wustefest people! this weekend!

[LowA4]

I have read that the motors can handle up to about 550 awhp. Once you get into RS6 or gt turbos, you need to do new rods and pistons. A stock engine can handle a full stage 3 just fine.The tranny's, not too sure but I know a lot of people track their cars and do multiple hard launches.

[pilihp2]

wustefest people! this weekend!

bleh.
vegas is so far away...

And the girlfriend and I might be moving out this weekend on sunday. I can probably still hang...depending on when and where and for how long.

[Helios_Prime]

So....is anyone going to wustefest...I might be down if someone else goes...its only 4 hours away and I have valentine one...so that may be an inaccurate time too

550 is good enough..... yeah ive seen some guy at the drag strip with stock drivetrain running on DR's and that shit looked like it was gonna launch off the ground! lol........ Hows the maintenance on these cars? heard it sucked? i had a German car before(VW LOL) and if its anything like that then, No Biggie.

What turbos are people using to hit 500's with?....
Sorry for the NOOB questions but i like to get a little informed before i get something then

[LowA4]

Vegas is like 7 hours away, how fast are you driving to get there in 4?

A good stage 3 will have 500+ flywheel easy.

I do all my maintenance myself so it's just like any other car in my opinion. Maybe a little more maintenance but not bad.

Ok good so im on the HUNT for a S4 now!

At what HP are the stock turbos maxed out? Like would the stock turbo be able to push 350HP to the wheels?

[LowA4]

I don't think it'll hit that. I just bought a stage 3- ecu to go with my K04's for now and it dynod at 325/327. I think a maxed K03 car is about 250-300 awhp. Boost is almost maxing out with a chip . I hit 16-18 lbs right now and power drops off fast in the upper rpms. It's also why my driverside turbo is loud as hell.

[up_in_boost]

Damn thats nothing.... What wheel/min is in the stock turbo?

Oh and i just saw how much the turbo kits are for the S4 and that makes me want to go with A4..........

[LowA4]

The turbos with inlets and hardware are about 2,500. the tune is about 700, injectors are 300, and the maf housing is 85.

Oh, I was looking at the complete kit form ARP( I believe?).... They want like 7k!!!.... But 3,600 is not bad at all..... Thanks for the Info......

[LowA4]

Off the shelf kits are rediculously priced. I went through JHM (JHMotorsports) for mine. Just piece it together yourself for half the price.

[up_in_boost]

Yeah, I wonder if anybody actually buys those kits...... So were did you go to get tuned? Local?

[LowA4]

I just bought a house and have to finish my Formula and my truck so I went stage 3- for awhile and will go full stage 3 later. I bought the ecu with a GIAC tune. GIAC is a pretty aggresive tune. JHM/Vast and a few other custom tuners can chip it with great results though. JHM is in the bay, along with 034 which do dyno tuning. When I go full stage 3, it'll be with JHM, they hold alot of records for track times.

[up_in_boost]

That's cool cause I run race fuel at the track, so I would need 2 different tunes..... When you say you just went stage 3 and not full stage 3, did you mean you just got the turbos first?......

[awdjunkies]

He means stage 3 Ko4s without the Fueling end of it.

[LowA4]

Right, I am just maxing out the stock injectors for a few months until I can get the injectors and maf housing. I also need to do some tranny mods, torque converter and tip chip to help handle the power. Look up stage 3- orminus on youtube and you will see. A stage 2 will beat alot of cars out there.

Better yet, Watch the 2 youtube vids on my sig

[up_in_boost]

Sleeper!!! The more I inform myself about the s4's the more I want one.......
Damn them s4 sounded mean as fuck!
was the blue s4 on the video stage 3? Stock drivetrain?
What do you need for a stage 2?
How would a s4 compare to a Evo? In other words, what would be a better choice for a track/drag car? Not hating on the S4, im still getting one LOL.... just debating on which one is going to be my DD......

[LowA4]

Stage 2 is just a chip and turboback exhaust. I believe a stage 2 will beat sti's/evos. I can keep up with sti's with my stage 1. I believe the blue one is stock drivetrain stage 3. With a stage 3 6 speed, you can hit 11's all day long. JHM hit's 11.1's in their full interior s4
