funny thread just got seriuz

post pics of your car…we need to see this way sicker looking B6 beast! Show the S4 bitches a thing or two. I’m an RS4 owner so I can be mean to both of you groups.

What is that the only thing that I saw when reading his post.

Listen man, I’m looking at it from an honest perspective. If you want to go built motor/supercharger…then DO I IT. I’m sure it will work out great with JHM handling it. But I’ve also seen you in the past look for short cuts and cheaper ways to do things. That doesn’t exist, do it right the first time.

I’m not hindering sales bud, but I’m also not a JHM salesman so I’m sure they won’t dock my pay. I said the 3.0 bolt-on performance market is a GREAT oppurtunity for 3.0 guys, but getting into motor builds and superchargers is going to miss most guys who drive a decade old 3.0 A4…regardless of how sick the color is it will still be an A4 with A4 interior, brakes, styling. The difference is you’ll have $30k into a $8k car so you better be happy in the end.

You usually don’t like what I have to say, but I’m going to give it to you straight…if you don’t like it then ignore me.

WAY SICKER…?

Since when are we talking about the B7? We are in section for B6’s buddy. And I never said anything about my car looking better than your car. If I ever sold my car I would buy a B7 hands down they are my favorite S4 if you recall my post in my thread of the silver B7 saying it was flawless, not a B6 because I don’t like B6 S4s which is why I wanted a USP.
And my point was you’ve said at least twice to buy an S4. But anyways in this case you car would look better IMO if it wasn’t red, Cuz I hate red. Anyways back on topic…

Like CV mentioned, we are currently looking into power adders for the 3.0L. I am not going to talk about what method we are going with until further down the road, but I can assure you we have compared both Supercharger and Turbocharger as well as power-per-dollar. We don’t yet know what a stock 3.0L can handle powerwise, but I can assure you that we will find out and of course share our findings of safe power levels with everyone.

There is currently no ETA on this project, but I can say the more 3.0L products we are able to sell the more funds we will have available for the R&D of this kit. That being said, everything you buy from us that is for a B6 A4 3.0L will contribute to bringing more power to this platform.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and the continued support on the 3.0L product.

So…it’ll be twincharged and nitrous.

putting up a nogaro blue S4 is a bit mean, sorry but nothing is better than Nogaro

thread jack: anyone seen the anniversary of RS2 edition of the B8 RS4 in Nogaro…so hot

anyway back to the bickering peeps

#49

that Nogaro B8 is a joke. $12,000 for a paintjob and blue suede seats (that don’t match the exterior)???

Anyway, as for fairness, let me quote sir sicks-a-lot

#50

Its a toss up, I used to like the nogoro the best hands down, but now I don’t as much, its close, but IMO mine is better when its under the right lighting, mine changes shades a lot because of the kind of blue that it is and sometimes it gives off this shade of blue that isn’t so great. I had the chance to buy a B5 S4 that was Nogoro but I didn’t. And its all a matter of opinion anyways. And remember my car is an A4, so considering it takes one of the most popular and best colors to show up my car, thats saying a lot about my car. Seeing how it is JUST AN A4.

#51

lulz

#52

No, Brilliant red, light silver, moro blue, imola yellow…all would have sufficed.

I used a nogaro picture only because you brought nogaro up.

#53

LOL, you guys crack me up. whats so funny is only you guys would try to argue a matter of opinion. You really must have no lives. And its Not just you but there are so many people on here and hella people on AZ do it too, that have to try to prove someone wrong any chance they get on the internet no less. But it really cracks me up you guys are tring to debate an opinion. My car is the best color because I say so, i bought exactly what I wanted. If Imola was the best, then I would of bought Imola. I bought exactly what I wanted. a AWD V6 Manual. and I bought it in blue, I found a ocean blue B6 USP but it was far away and it cost more at the time I would of needed a loan at the time and I liked the denim blue better and got lucky it was only an hour away from where I lived. and I chose denim over ocean and the nogoro B5 because I liked it the most. So much for discussing mods for the 3.0…

  1. All depends on the delivery system.
  2. Yes
#55

With the same Vortech that the 4.2 uses. Because isn’t that the one you recommended would be best? so if you say so then thats what I would want.
Also can you estimate what you think the gains would be??

#56

way sicker

#57

I don’t think he is saying that.

On a b67 s4 for example you can make 400-450 whp pretty safely…but you can make 375 whp and kill the motor if you do a poor job of power delivery.

Same on the B5 S4…the JHM rs6r turbos make enough power to make 600 whp which will require a built motor … Bit if you manage power delivery you can run them safely on a car with stock motor.

So peak power doesn’t matter when it comes to safety. Faw asked what peak power the engine can handle…and that totally depends on how you go about it.

#58

Are you telling him this, or asking?

The Vortech supercharger used in the B6/7 S4 and RS4 kits can give the 3.0 more CFM than it will ever need. If your this serious about performance and potential, give JHM a call and see if they have some options for you. I hope that you have $15k laying around though.

Does anyone know the limits of the 3.0? You can’t just estimate the potential horsepower gains without knowing what the motor can handle because like I mentioned the Vortech will probably be more than the motor will ever need.

#59

Both, I think Count said one top that it was best to use the same Vortech that the 4.2 used. Are you saying that 15 kit for the price of the kit and labor?

I would too like to know what the 3.0 can handle in its stock form. is there any technical or mathamatical way to figure it out or do you just have to push one to its limits till it breaks to find out??

Can you estimate it by how much the S4 and the 1.8? and the 2.7? and just kinda find the mean value of all those and have a ball park for where the 3.0 might land?

#60

$15k plus assuming you do it right…engine/supercharger

I’m sure you could test 3.0 rods and make a mathematical GUESS overall. But then your playing with fire because parts weaken and deteriorate at a certain rate. How many miles do you have? 100k plus? See where I’m going with that. It’s really hard to just put a number on it.

Also, rods and pistons aren’t the only concern. You have too look at the valvetrain, piston rings…lots of things change with the addition of FI.
