APR Presents the World Premiere of the Eaton TVS1740 Supercharger

B8 S4
#1

Eaton, the world’s most respected supercharger producer, has began production of a supercharger-rotating group to fill the gap between the existing TVS1320 and TVS1900. APR is pleased to present the first applications of TVS1740s for use anywhere in the world.

For the past 12 months, APR’s Engineering Teams have worked tirelessly with the TVS1740 to develop three new Stage III Supercharger Systems for the Audi’s 3.0 TFSI engine and the 4.2L FSI V8 as featured in the B8 RS4, B8 RS5 and R8. The new unit’s displacement is perfectly matched for both engines, providing for optimal intake port sizing, superior cooling, minimal rotational loss compared to higher displacement units and satisfies packaging constraints across over 10 Audi platforms.

The results of the new TVS1740 when packaged within APR’s integrated manifold designs is nothing short of breath taking and produces brutal acceleration with minimal impact on drivability, reliability and average fuel consumption. When compared to turbocharging, the TVS1740 produces faster response, a more robust power band and considerable top end performance advantages. Perfectly matched to the refinement of the driving experience Audi owner’s expect, the TVS1740 remains true to the TVS technology found in current offerings by creating the smallest parasitic loss in its class and by only slightly increasing in-cabin sound with just enough supercharger whine to remind you of the serious weapon at your control.

Announced today at APR’s annual global dealer conference, the first application to be available will be the Audi R8 V8 and RS5 4.2l FSI with other applications released throughout 2013. APR is proud to be on the forefront of real world engineering successes based on Eaton’s latest technologies.

Nice!! Any idea when you’ll be able to release further info? E.g., price, release dates, vids, numbers.

#3

A blower for both 3.0t and 4.2FSI? Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. We get first dibs on 1/4 mile slips rights? ;D

#4

What’s really interesting about this is that Apr is filing a big enough order to have Eaton buid it. That’s somE big fucking business right there.

Edit Nevermind… There’s an oem in on the order.

#5

Arin, some questions :

1 which oem?
2 compressor map from Eaton?
3 how long will install take on an rs5?
4 how long will install take on a B8 s4?

That’s all for now. Thanks.

#6

Interesting… Well Arin did say we would all be surprised… I like the easy install…

Arin, Thanks! Anything else you can share at this point? Eaton make a performance map like they have for their other blowers? Rough time frame on the 3.0 motor? Boost level potential?

#7

I’m unfortunately unable to legally disclose that information.

Same applies here at this moment.

We expect a couple months.

Summer eta but once that becomes more solid I will update.

#8

Lol I meant Labour times for install

Hopefully you didn’t…couple of months at $100/hr would add the fuck up!

#9

Just dropped the wife and son off at the airport as she is going to stay in Florida for a week with her parents at their beach house… Will have her look into said OEM customer when she returns… My guess would be MB…

#10

LOL! I think he mentioned on AZ a 30 minute install time if you have a CPS… That helps with the cost for sure!

#11

We are looking at about 30 minutes estimated install time.

#12

Are you sure OEM was referring to an automobile manufacturer and not an aftermarket blower manufacturer?

No, just speculating…

#14

[quote=“Arin,post:11,topic:4130”]
That’s awesome… Sounds like you basically unplug everything, remove lines, unbolt old blower, remove old blower, place new blower, bolt up new blower, connect all lines, plug in everything, fire her up! Obviously, ecu has been flashed… What about purging the CPS, will that be required?

#15

TBD but I have a feeling it will be necessary for cooling.

#16

How is that possible on an rs5. It’s impossible!

#17

^lol. I think that is only applicable to 3.0 applications that have F/I already.

#18

3.0t only

#19

Hey, maybe something you can disclose…how much does it weigh compared to the stock 3.0T supercharger module?

And will it use the same 70mm TB?

Edit: will it be able to go to 2.4 PR or so?

#20

Good question. I’ll have to find out.

[quote]And will it use the same 70mm TB?

I’m going to keep that one close to my chest for the moment, but I will post a smiley face. ; )

I don’t’ know what that means.
