My engine bay

[mtbrider]

Thanks to Mike and Greg for the newest additions, it took awhile but it was worth it.

[boostedAvant]

[AudiA4Turbo22]

nice!

^^ It's still slow.

Yo Josh, you're local to me. Let's see how that ER kit fairs up to my year-old 71R Elim. I need to know if that beta kit being offered to me is gonna be worth it!

[A4 TSCHUSS]

please video this if it goes down.

I'm down. I'm in Charlottesville right now but can come up for the weekends.

^^Remember that I came from a 71 eliminator so I know how both feel.

Please bring me your car so I can remove a TON of unnecessary shit from the bay!!! The stock clutter seriously bothers me, especially with that setup!!!

Too bad we dont all live in FL, where they dont inspect for emissions....

[dougyfresh]

Looks nice Josh.

I'm going Ninja in my engine bay. Just wait...

As Shawn stated it is not needed. You would know if you had a compression problem.

damn!!!

I know. So how does this ER kit compare..butt dyno wise?

Or live in a place where you can get an exemption....

Shawn, I wasn't going, but a few of my local crew are taking their B6 S4's out so I may go. I hate putting that kind of miles on the car. It's maybe 6-7 hours for me.

[boostedAvant]

I'm just wondering what all this stuff you'd remove is? Not to be a rookie but anyone know of a thread with this info on it?

[A4ringedONE8T]

Gonna take a guess from my experiences, much smoother than the Elim's but runs the speedo like no ones business

Its only about 1,200 miles for me ... think you can handle that!

If its in the engine bay and looks like clutter, it can most likely be removed Here's my engine bay, compare it to the one pictured here

Looks great. Hope to see yours and other audi's at waterfest. I went to a local show on sunday and was very dissapointed of the turn out and the vendors. Hoping to pick up a couple parts while I'm there.

Not to threadjack, but catch my post in the Pittsburgh Thread. I may wanna head out now and can probably cover hotel with rewards points if you're interested and haven't booked hotel yet. Chad and Ryan are both going with their S4's....

When the elim kit was first installed it felt fast but truely this kit is much faster even with the conservative software settings I have now. I can't wait to throw a little more timing at it.

You should bring your tools and on your way up there stop by and clean up my engine bay. You can put a sticker on my car if you want.

All you need is a screwdriver unless you've still got all those one-time-use POS clamps. I'd love to see the pile of hoses when Shawn's done with a car. I really want to do this, but have no idea about that whole system even after reading all of Shawn's and all those guy's posts on it.... I was confused when they started getting in to what does what. I just want to know what to get rid of, lol.
I'd love to burn my suction jet pump in a big unused-hose-n-gasolinefire. I've replaced that leaky-ass thing like 3 times already.

[mtbrider]

I already have my SAI out and the IE block off plate is installed in my car. See Shawn it wouldn't be hard, just a quick stop on your way to Waterfest.

[Redgoat]

I say there should be a writeup with pics :) Anyone else agree?

There kind of is. But it gets real in depth as they all agreed and disagreed about what could be removed safely.
Plus, if Shawn writes it up like that, then no one needs him, lol.

A DIY would be tough. Everyone has their own version of what should get removed and what should stay. Mine is written up on a bentley schematic and differs a whole lot..

[Redgoat]

step by step for different things? That way you could choose what to remove... Just an idea

[B6Lovin]

its not really as difficult as everyone makes it seem. if you're any good at those puzzles where you follow the line from one end to the other you're set.

basically start at the TIP, then follow all the lines around the engine bay... if it's PCV, SAI, or EVAP related - take it out. if it's a sensor, leave it plugged in and simply ziptie it up somewhere out of the way...

then start your car, if it idles like shit you have a boost/vac leak -- look over it and try again. if you've plugged and removed properly you'd never know you took anything out...

took me an afternoon to get 90% of the way through it, the rest will just stay off my new engine..

[JerseyShoreA4]

I can't wait for waterfest if everyone is going... I need to save money. I wish I had more shit done to my car.

My car should be running by then but I'm not going. I've got mountain bike races out in PA in late July that take priority.

Unless you live in a state with emissions testing. Not every tuner is willing to disable all those CEL's and fix the Readiness Codes.
