034Motorsport B9 S5/RS5 Parts, Tuning, and Upcoming Product Thread!

Well, the 034 TCU tune only makes the TCU and ECU talk to it can handle the higher TQ, so it is not a true TCU tune yet.

Oh, got it. I thought it was a formal TCU tune.Thanks for the info

The Stage 1 TCU tune that comes included free with our ECU file remaps torque limits and recalibrates the torque safety systems to work with the added power of Stage 1 ECU tuning.

Later stages of TCU tunes will provide more changes to the Transmissions shift behaviors, but for Stage 1 we were quite happy with the shift points and behaviors.

One of our customers sent us his YouTube review of our Dynamic+ tuning he did on his B9 S5 Sportback. This video was great to watch, and 11.79s @ 116mph with a 3.57s to 60 is definitely cooking on the 93 file! Can't wait to see what it does when it's running our Stage 2 file optimized for hardware upgrades!

Available Now from 034Motorsport: P34 Cold Air Intake for B9 Audi S4 & S5 3.0 TFSI!

034Motorsport has developed this comprehensive performance intake solution for the turbocharged 3.0 TFSI engine found in the latest generation B9 Audi S4/S5. Subsequently, the P34 Cold Air Intake System offers discerning enthusiasts measurable increases in horsepower and torque, sporty induction and turbocharger sounds, and a functional airbox and inlet hose design.

Throughout the development process, multiple designs were modeled, prototyped, and tested - all to ensure that the P34 Cold Air Intake System delivers measurable performance benefits and superb fitment. The result is a partially-enclosed airbox which uses the factory fresh air inlet duct and heat shield, while housing a massive 5" inlet conical air filter, and a matching CFD-optimized filter tube.

Minimizing Unnecessary Filter Shrouding
034Motorsport focuses on optimizing every aspect of the intake system across a broad range of variables and compromises. A critical component of a high-flowing performance intake is the ability for air to flow around and into the filter. If the air cannot flow freely around the filter, it will be restricted from getting into it. Many aftermarket kits fit too large of a filter in an enclosure that cannot accommodate its size, thus choking the filter and reducing its overall flow. This often happens when a product is engineered for one variable at the expense of others. 034Motorsport conducted extensive tests and refined its development of the intake design to allow for maximum airflow surrounding the air filter, allowing for optimal airflow to, and through, the filter. The final result is the right size filter in the right size filter housing, creating maximum airflow and performance with OEM level filtering; the ultimate goal of any intake system. Be cautious of any intake that brags only of air filter size, without taking into account the detrimental effects of shrouding the filter.

Pressure Drop Improvements
Pressure Drop is the difference in ambient air pressure and the air pressure measured at the throttle body across the engine's rpm range. The higher the pressure drop at any given rpm, the more restrictive the intake system is, reducing airflow.

Intake Configuration	Pressure Drop
P34 Cold Air Intake	1.64 psi @ 6500rpm
Stock Intake	2.22 psi @ 6500rpm

Dyno-Verified Wheel Horsepower & Torque Gains
The P34 Cold Air Intake System for B9 Audi S4 & S5 was engineered with performance in mind, and is a free-flowing replacement for the factory airbox and turbocharger inlet hose. As the fruition of this design approach, the P34 Cold Air Intake System yields a measurable reduction in pressure drop at the turbo inlet compared to the factory airbox, with a corresponding increase in horsepower and torque throughout the powerband.

Any substantial increases in NVH with these?

[034Motorsport]

Any substantial increases in NVH with these?

The beauty of many of our Billet Inserts is that there is no/extremely minimal NVH added. This is because the insert sits freely in the bushing until loaded, where it takes up the slop. These rear subframe inserts in particular do not introduce any perceivable additional NVH.

The 034Motorsport 2-Piece Floating Brake Rotor Upgrade Kits for the B9 & B9.5 Audi S4/S5 are complete replacement brake rotor kits, designed to work flawlessly with the factory calipers found on the B9/B9.5 Audi S4/S5. While reducing weight, the rotor retains proper thermal mass in the rings to adequately capture heat, while utilizing 72 directionally curved vanes to forcefully flow cool air through the rotor to dissipate heat.

The central hat portion of the 034Motorsport rotor is made of 6061-T6 aircraft specification aluminum. The disc is constructed out of a proprietary metal alloy that can withstand immense braking temperatures while holding form. From the factory, the same straight-veined rotor is used on both sides of the S4. The 034Motorsport rotors utilize 72 directionally curved vanes to forcefully flow cool air through the rotor to dissipate heat and are unique to the left and right axle to provide a substantial increase in cooling efficiency over the factory rotor design.

The face of the rotor utilizes J-Slot slots to clean the pad and surface of contaminants and allows hot pad outgassing, all while reducing overall braking noise compared to a traditional slotted rotor.

The rotor and hat have a floating mount system that utilizes high-strength alloy steel bobbins. The pins take the load from braking events while maintaining the axial and radial float between the hat and disc, allowing for safe expansion and contraction from heat.

B9 RS5 stuff is slim to none.

I’m an rs5 owner and I’ve noticed the same thing. The 2.9tt just doesn’t get much support. Looks like most rs5 owners are keeping their car stock but it also seems like the 2.9tt platform isn’t really mod friendly as well. There was a user who did stage 3+ On the 2.9tt rs5 with upgraded turbos and only got into the high 10s. On the other hand 034, just released a stage 1 tune for the 3.0t with stock turbos pushing the same 10s.

Best to wait for their stage 1 tune towards the end of the year that they’ve been working on. When that gets released, I’m sure there will be more supporting mods. No point for them to develop all these supporting mods with no tunes to utilize em.

[ninjamanRS5]

Looks like I’ll hold on to the RS5 for a year and pick up a C8 Z06 or lightly used McLaren lol. The RS5 has potential but with the lack of aftermarket support, this isn’t the car to have if you desire to customize it on many levels. So boring!

Our B9 RS5 program is in full swing and will have the same level of support and offerings as our B9 3.0T program. As with anything at 034Motorsport, we spend copious amounts of time refining and perfecting our products, which inherently takes time. We're confident that the products we release will be transformative for the RS5, and that you guys will love the improvements they provide.

Check Out The TCU Tune Here!

Features:

Optimized Shift Points
In order to take advantage of the increased powerband from the turbocharger, Dynamic+ Tuning optimizes the shift points in Sport Mode to maximize acceleration while retaining smooth drivability.
When purchasing the Stage 2 TCU Tune, you will be offered specific calibrations for either E85/Race Gas and for 91/93 Octane (Pump Gas) when flashing! Both TCU calibrations are included free of charge. Each specific TCU variant sets shift points to correspond to the optimal RPM for the powerband that your car now has from your upgraded ECU tune.

Kickdown Switch Disabled in Manual Mode
When in Manual mode, you no longer need to worry about accidentally pushing through the kickdown switch on the throttle pedal!

Improved Shift Speeds
To further enhance the acceleration of your Audi, the ZF8 shift times are dramatically decreased in all driving modes, which ultimately results in quicker acceleration.
Shift pressures are also increased in Sport Mode to maximize performance. In Sport Mode, you will notice less lazy shifts, more firm shifts, which ultimately results in quicker acceleration.

AMAX Shifting
AMAX Shifting is a shifting strategy that stands for “Acceleration Maximum.” These gear shifts are the fastest and quickest possible for optimal acceleration. These are activated in shifting after launching your vehicle from a stop using launch control.
AMAX shift points are now optimized for specific RPM setpoints for Pump Gas ECU tunes, and Race Gas/Ethanol ECU tunes. Select the specific TCU file to match your current octane when flashing your TCU!
The S4/S5 has AMAX now activated in the 4>5 and 5>6 shifts where it was previously disabled from the factory.
The SQ5 now has AMAX activated in all shifts from 1st through 6th where it was previously disabled from the factory.

Improved Torque Management
As with any automatic transmission vehicle, the ECU and TCU computers work synchronously to properly apply torque to the vehicle's drivetrain in a safe and reliable manner. Within both the ECU and TCU, there are factory safety tables that limit overall torque output based upon what the factory first tuned the car for. The ECU reports the output of torque from the engine to the TCU, and the TCU decides if this is suitable, or too much. If it is too much, the TCU will command the ECU to reduce torque output based upon its safety tables.
034Motorsport takes a holistic approach with its Dynamic+ Tuning and aims to retain as many OEM safety protocols as possible. While it is possible to tune around the factory TCU torque limiters from the ECU side, this is done at the expense of torque safety features that are integral in keeping your transmission running safely. 034Motorsport’s calibrators tune the ECU to work with the TCU to provide accurate torque values and recalibrate the appropriate safety ranges for the TCU. Taking these extra steps to retain OEM safety systems on the ECU and TCU side is just one of the many reasons that Dynamic+ software provides substantial yet reliable performance increases.

034Motorsport B9 Audi S4/S5/SQ5 AL552 ZF8 Stage Descriptions:

STAGE 1 (INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE OF 034MOTORSPORT EA839 ECU TUNING):
034Motorsport Stage 1 Transmission Performance Tuning Software for the AL552 is included in the Dynamic+ Tuning Bundle with our Stage 1 & Stage 2 ECU software.

The Dynamic+ ECU Tuning accurately reports torque values to the TCU to ensure that all safety systems are intact in both control units, and the added torque from tuning is properly adjusted for when driving/shifting, including all safety systems designed to protect the engine and transmission. This results in better shift quality as the transmission is not having to reduce engine torque or having to adapt to misreported inputs.

STAGE 2:
The 034Motorsport Stage 2 Transmission Performance Tuning Software for the Al552 is designed to further improve the drivability and performance of your Dynamic+ Tuned Audi B9 S4, S5, or SQ5. Dynamic+ Stage 2 TCU Software can be used with our Stage 1 OR Stage 2 ECU software.

034Motorsport Stage 2 TCU Tuning further improves shifting performance and speed for casual and track driving in all driving modes. Dynamic+ Tuning also activates AMAX shifting in more gears to ensure the quickest and most efficient shifting strategies while launching your vehicle. Kickdown in Manual Mode is also removed.

I have the 034 Stage 2 Tune with the ECU tune from IE. Is there any difference between the 034 TCU tune and the IE TCU tune? Wondering if the switch is worth it or not.
