Got Torque?

B6/7 S4/RS4

Heading to Lowes to pick up some random shit, was doing a few 2nd gear pulls and on about the 3rd pull, felt my shifter move back like my motor mounts had unbolted and well… close. snapped the passenger side motor mount bracket lol.

Hahahahaha stern mounts to strong. If your breaking this much stuff with stage 1, I foresee you tearing the car in half when you go stage 3

#3

lol -NICE! In a weird expensive way…lol.

Like Lout Jnr said, Stage 3…you may as well weld the entire car together now.

#4

fuck son! Do Work!

that does suck though.

#5

I have a feeling he might be the one flying out of the car or breaking instead of just parts lol

It’s amazing what happens when you go big power. It shows you where the weaknesses in the car are.

I had a conversation about the GT built motor B5 S4s with Jason from JHM last winter. It was interesting because he was saying that the power just rattles the cars to pieces.

Going stage III+ B5 isn’t that big a deal cost wise anymore (around $15,000 for the kit + build) but there’s another $5000 you could/should/will spend on solidifying the rest of the car. All these little things like above. Pretty interesting. Of course just about nobody in B5 land does this, so those guys like D SHOT or EVILEVO end up shying away from launching their cars or doing pulls as a result. They love the dyno though…

#7

see the funny thing is you don’t even need big power, drive the car hard and you’ll break shit

<----- speaking from experience

#8

Yeah but didn’t yourt car have nitrous and a 2.1 litre blower on it at one point? :slight_smile:

#9

no the green one had the fun stuff, mine was the trans tune car

#10

Were you trying to get the wheels off the ground?? lol

#11

I’ll never stop trying to do that!

I’m sure if I put some big ol slicks on the back and had them grip down, I could lift the front end up lol

#12

Damn D you really know how to put a car through its tests. Thats how you get stuff done. I suppose we should start a list of the parts you put to bed so we can start making stronger ones.

Oh and I updated your name. Thats the one thing I asked to be added to the site.

#13

Breaking parts, records and hearts lol

#14

Very appropriate name

Yeah M3 Owners

#15

LOL ^ That’s awesome.

#16

we’ve all heard the saying that there’s not enough power till it spins the tires going into top gear

well, I think the true measure of torque is ‘there’s not enough torque till you launch it, the front end comes off the ground, and the body twists so much that the driver’s door pops open’

Definition of power and torque from the rally scene …

FWD - You hit the tree with the front of the car
2WD - You hit the tree with the back of the car
4WD - You hit the tree with the side of the car

Power is how hard you hit the tree
Torque is how far you drag it!

#18

And for the turbo diesel guys, you know you have enough power not when you throw a rod, but when you throw a block.
