My A4 3.0 V6 6-speed DYNO & progress thread

[vteckiller2000]

thats interesting, did you brake boost this time?

Nope, it felt really slow since it took a bit to spool too. The car won't let you brake boost, it cuts throttle if the gas and brake are on at the same time.

so when you did the prior test using first gear from 20-55 you got the same result as only a second gear pull from 20-55?

Wow 14.4 is really good. What was your 60' if you say the launch was bad?

14.4 is k04 with a gutted car good.... But you would know since you set the stage 2+ record with mid 15s, lol

Yeah, I am assuming it was from the shift. My car shifts really clunky.

It was 1.977 sec. I held it at 3500 and quickly fed out the clutch. It was pretty jerky, I was just concerned to not slip it too much and get the clutch hot.

To be fair, ambient temp was around 28 degrees and I am running the high octane map.

hey can you do a 20-55mph test so i can compare? i know an auto has longer gears but its all in fun just as a reference point, and do a first gear pull from 20-55mph, then a second gear only from 20-55mph and give us your results ....

Me?? That's what... 30-90km/h? Lol. Sure I'll do it after work... Weird test but I'm up for it.

EDIT: your time was 6.6? Somethings up... I took some videos of myself doing 0-60 pulls (not brake launching or anything) and IIRC It was a bit under 7 seconds.

[A-FourLO]

ye you lol, oh uh IDK what kilometers that is but yea that would be cool

[vteckiller2000]

32-88 kph I believe.

[meistah]

Lol I'm guessing 4.0 tops... we'll see though

[Zingo_310]

I might go out in a little and try.. Need to get gas anyway

[meistah]

Do eeet. I have a meeting after work so I won't be able to until later tonight

[A-FourLO]

awesome

[meistah]

20-55 is the new 60-130

[A-FourLO]

20-55 is the new 60-130

lol hey well with this test you can gather some data and still be under or at the speed limit

[Lout Jnr]

20-55 is the new 60-130

HAHAHA soon we will be talking about FATS.

Zingo hurry up and get gas

[vteckiller2000]

HAHAHA soon we will be talking about FATS.

LOL you mean CAPS?

[Zingo_310]

HAHAHA soon we will be talking about FATS.

Zingo hurry up and get gas

I don't want to now
I just rode to gander in my buddies 5.0 Lol..

I love his car, so sick.


but anyway, I broke down and went out for a quick spin. I did about 5 or 6 pulls and was getting 5.3s. That was with about 3/8s tank of gas and added weight of a passenger. (180lb brother) lol

I'm JHM tuned both ECU & TCU auto 5 speed with the modded air box. I was running 6.2s going 20-60 then I realized it was to 55. So I was still quicker going to 60

We know that the cats are killing your car Zingo, after seeing the video between Keaton's and motorsports car your 20-60 time will dramatically decrease I'm thinking high 3's maybe a dead 4 seconds

[Zingo_310]

Yeah I know, really can't wait to get those out and gone for good. Having my "little" brother in the car doesn't help either. Still, over a second quicker than ops

[Lout Jnr]

Yeah that does show that the stock computer isn't going to do much to adapt to the extra flow of the op catless dp's

[Zingo_310]

That's why I feel like the dps are going to be a huge difference. I'm running stock exhuast up to the mufflers too.

were your runs only a second gear pull? or did u pull from first?...regardless i still suck....i think ima put that stock airbox on an go for a spin sooner than later

[motorsports916]

I'll do a pull tomorrow and see what's good

[Zingo_310]

I was pulling from first gear. I didnt really pay attention to rpms really. I might go out and get a video here tomorrow or something. Torque converter kicked in nicely when I punched it.

Def try the modded stock air box. Not just because it is "my" mod, and I use that very lightly. The math and results from it are impressive for something thats "free". While air is being forced into the TB could be reason your car might be sluggish, kind of gasping for air to where some of us the TB is getting air forced down its throat.

Interested in seeing what Mike pulls, as we have identical set ups besides the gutted cats in his. Unless you have the Dps still from test fitting? bastard...

[motorsports916]

Lol. I wish. I'll get a whole dps back set up here shortly. Just waiting for more moneys.

[Zingo_310]

I'm hoping to get a six figure tax return back... lmfao

I'm going to have a blast taking mine out for the first time alone. I might actually take my cats and shoot them once the dps are installed.

[motorsports916]

Kill em with fire!

[Zingo_310]

Kill em with fire!

Whatever I do, it will be on film, and it will be very pleasing.

[Lout Jnr]

Well you have two so there better be more than one torture method lol

This Audi A4 V6 3.0 6-speed i must say it is a very nice car with lots of potential. It has a clean title and 140k miles. I live in miami and this car was a Boston car for all of its life the owner drove down here to live and sold it to me recently. It has alot of rust underneath the car but i am slowly alleviating all of the oxidation and grime from the car as to me this is the only way to learn by taking apart cleaning and putting things back together. Ok on to the fun stuff.

i also have the same car and i really like it. i've a question for you: what did you use to remove the rust underneath the car? and if i'm going to do it by myself, how to do this?

oh ok maybe you could do a second gear pull just for reference and make sure you are alone in the car, and yes i was thinking of making a vid too but i am uber slow so its nothin special lol, plus in my 1/8th mile Vid you can calculate 0-60 becuz i take second gear deep so when i shift third i was at 60mph.

[A-FourLO]

Ok got some improved results from the 1/8th mile last nite, and also managed to re-time my 20-55mph 2nd gear pull and improved there as well. IT seems that there was some ECU re-learning necessary. Which makes sense since for 140k plus miles this ECU has been doing the same thing lol.

My 1/8th mile time improved from a previous 10.369 @ 67.1 in stock trim.
I managed to run a 10.156 @ 69 mph last nite with the 3" single catless exhaust. I am def satisfied with the results given the MPH is ~ 1.9 mph improvement and time improved by slightly over .2 tenths, also as a side note the ambient outside temperature was a good 20 degrees warmer than my previous time when i was stock. (Still was 73 degrees outside though).

I did a 2nd gear pull today and had an average time of 6.0s. With some times being as low as 5.8s but that could be attributed to human error IDK. So i knew the 1/8th mile was a def improvement but when i clocked in a 20-55mph 2nd gear pull over .5 tenths quicker than stock that was the "icing on the cake".


Thanks,

Nicely done, that is a good time for stock computer and gutted cats. If you work it out your 1/4 time would have been 15.7, which is great.

Do work, congratulations man. Solid gain.
