APB Block Versions

[euroswagr]

Now can you please answer me this?

1. your goal is 600 on a 2.7 and 750 on a 3.0…why are you trying to achieve this? What are you trying to accomplish when you reach these goals? If you are going to the track please predict your 1/4 mile goals in correlation with your HP goals.
   )the stock block is too weak for you. How do you know that? you have never been to the track, or even dyno’d your car and please don’t mention your virtual dyno.
2. Give your boy with the built 034 single Turbo the push that he needs to take his car to the strip and take it to the dyno. All tracks are open now. You predicted his power to be above 550 and his block is still intact, right?

FAW, why do you get to ask these questions?..your one of the biggest examples of the dyno does not equal the 1/4mile time. Asking a B5 S4 guys to predict his 1/4mile times based on his whp is really a hilarious idea. How many B5s have 600+whp and run low to mid 12s? When cars that dyno around 500whp run low11s… B5s are all over the place when it comes to dyno number power figures and real world results.

BT obviously has some amazing machinery at his disposal, so if he builds or re engineers his block for 10,000 hp and that makes him happy who cares? It’s not like he is claiming 10s passes or bashing everyone else’s setups. He is an obvious enthusiast that is doing everything right that I can see…if not borderline OCD. It’s a hell of a change for the B5 S4 platform to have a guy like him around and I enjoy seeing his progress.

Spending time with the family right now so I’ll get back to you later or in the morning FAW.

There is nothing wrong with him making progress. He said I
had an attitude, why? I hope its not because I am not agreeing with this whole block thing.

Now on to you and your slick joke. Let me first say this to you. I never said my car would be fast. I never predicted a given HP for my car. I never said what my car would run at the track. So in all actuality, I don’t have anything to prove to anyone. The 3 different times my car went to the track I ran above 15 sec, and two 14 sec passes and I am proud of them. I am in a position to do better and that is how I want to keep it. It is something that you aren’t capable of doing, because you have exhausted your cars capabilities.

Me, I have an attitude? Please explain.

Perhaps I should have said “Negative Attitude” because your first and second posts were very negative… you could have said “Thanks for the info, even though most people really don’t need to be concerned with this at all…” that would have been a positive attitude… but anyway lol

1. Why am I trying to achieve 600 to 750 whp? Mainly because I can lol. No really that’s about it.
   I want to, I feel I can, so I will try
   The car is my Daily Driver, but will also be going to the 1/4 mile track and some Autocross events this year. Maybe even some real track days.
   As far as goals, I don’t really know what it will run. The car will be full weight AC and all, so I’d like to see low 11’s I guess. I think that’s pretty realistic. But I’ll have to learn to drive the car at the track first.
   I’m planning on going to a test n tune at the end of April with the temp 2.7 setup.

2. My analysis and experience tell me that the stock bottom end casting and mains structure is going to be my weak point given everything else I have planned and covered already, so why not make the bottom end as strong as possible so I never have to worry about it? I am planning on running Nitrous on top of the 750WHP so extra strength is never going to be a bad thing…
   But a lot of it comes from my customers, people I talk to every day. My customers are some of the best engine builders and minds in the world. From Nascar, to NHRA pro stock teams to the best VW/Audi heads you can buy, to people that make entire billet engines, from the pistons and rods to the cylinder heads and blocks. They are people I deal with every day. So I not only set my standards high but I also have an extreme knowledge pool I can dip into.

3. You mean Monty? I estimate him to be at around 475 to 500 WHP right now. He runs 2.8 FATS all day long on just 93 and with full car weight, you do the math. He is planning on going to the dyno soon I believe once he gets his Meth Injection system installed, at which time yes he should then be able to hit 550WHP or there abouts. But tat will be the limit of his 5858 turbo I think…

But overall I just love the B5 platform, it’s such a very capable platform but one that many areas aren’t pushed to potential… so I’m trying to push the limits.

Cheers!

Take your cockroach ass back to flopzine, or take your flower pot to the track.

Hugs and kisses, rainbows and sunshine back at you, teacup :-*

For those that are interested I took some pics of the block versions today.

Version 1:

Version 3:

http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q755/britishturbo/APBVersion3Casting_zpsb5b0a7ed.jpg

Both were S4’s, the “Version 1” being an early 2000 block, cast in 1999.
The Version 3 block came from my 2001.5 S4, cast in 2000.
