If your worried about DD tunes there are plenty of dual stage solenoid driven manual boost controllers. You can set one for putting around town and the other for a little more power. Easy stage will be selectable by a switch…VS an ECU swap.
I also think your crazy for wanting Jfonz to tune your car for the power and CV for streetability…stick to one guy.
Don’t take offense to this, but I’m thinking you should just go buy that R8 or LFA.
The JHM B5 was (and still is) a civilised daily driven car, yes. Full interior, full exhaust, full Audi S4.
I said your build, nyc and guruaman were all 2 year+ build, so zero tolerance has nothing on you guys. He’s only 8 months deep. A neophyte vs. you three.
That’s all I said. Then you went nuts with a 1000 word reply that nobody read. Wanna know why nobody read it? Because a nobody wrote it. I said to shut your mouth because you posted all kinds of abusive shit hurling insults, calling me retarded etc…for what? For being right?
Answer these questions
1. How long did you car NOT run? i.e. how long did your build take from blowing K03s (or however you made the decision to go stage 3) to driving it in stage 3 (not stage 3 minus…not half assed. STAGE THREE. 2 years or more?
2. Is your car even stage 3 yet? Or is it stage 3 minus? To that end, is your build even done yet? Bcause I don’t think anyone sets out to build a half assed GT turbo’d B5 S4 that is slower than the fastest K03 cars. If we lined you up with a stock RS4, and you lost, would the B5 forum say 'wow that RS4 just beat a stage 3 B5 S4, or would they say ‘that’s not stage fucking 3…it’s on a stock fuel pump, busted transmission, stage 3- tune etc.’
If the answer to question 1 is 2 years, say you’re sorry, because I was right.
If the answer to question 2 is that it’s not stage 3 yet, apologize, because I was right.
Thank you in advance for your honesty and candor.
You guys put some serious effort into belittling one another, just imagine what could be accomplished if everyone worked towards the greater good of “everyone”…
Many of us care about the greater good and advancement, a guy with a stage “3” that hasn’t done anything stellar shouldn’t be giving information IMHO besides maybe how not to do things. This jibberjive battle stems from the FAW vs jibber callout…that only amounted epic fail…this coupled with jibberjive hating and leaving this forum once a month only to return like nothing happened.
In the end AR is a place where people get called on their bullshit and when jibberjive gets upset he bad mouths everyone here and runs away…only to return with more little bitch comments and no 1/4mile times for his amazing stage 3 B5 S4.
Then a reason to go 100% with the JHM/CV tune. Because somebody out there is driving that thing to and from work every day, schlepping up and down the I5, maybe even some of the beautiful coastal and hilly roads in the Bay Area or even a cheeky trip to the mountains and Lake Tahoe with a stop at Sac Dragway in between.
The point is, jfonz could be as great a tuner as you want, but his exposure to elements in your car will be limited to customer cars. JHM’s experience will be with a car that has been in start/stop California traffic as well as the dragstrip. Cold starts, hot starts, parked inside, parked outside. I don’t think you can put a price on that.
While I’m rambling, this is also the reason I’d go with APR if I ever got the GTI tuned. They’ve got experience with not only their own cars in hot and sweaty 'bama but also hot and high in South Africa.
Yes, for me a tuner owning the car I’m buying a tune for is pretty important. I remember when I first got my B7, I was looking at VF, and I found it really really weird that they had to borrow a customer’s car to test shit out all th etime. Turned me right off. Then JHM is out there buying a B6 S4, putting it through it’s paces, just as they did with 3 different B5 S4s before it. They now have 4 different B6 S4s that they’ve tested everything on.
I don’t get how tuners don’t own a parking lot full of B5 S4s. They’re quite fairly priced. If you tune on a dyno, and never drive the car…you’re missing out!
What I bolded above is exactly why I prefer the Count Vohn tune. I’m very confident that J-Fonz can tune the car extremely well. However, it wouldn’t make any sense if he could get every nook and cranny right as well as somebody who’s been tuning these cars for many years.
It’s difficult for me to understand how I can have one tune/map that’ll handle both extreme performance for great quarter mile times AND a smooth, streetable car simultaneously. If that’s what you guys are saying I can get here, than I truly have no need for a second ECU. I didn’t know that was possible and I didn’t know the JHM 10.8 car was a daily driver.
As mentioned many times before, Count Vohn’s tune is my first choice. I’m very good at looking from the outside-in and have no issue understanding why he’d prefer to wash his hands from dealing with me and my car. I’m not sure who out there I can/should have a similar amount of confidence in (with many years of experience) but I suppose I’ll have to cross that bridge when I get to it.
As also mentioned, I think J-Fonz is an excellent tuner though I don’t know how many RS6/RS6 hybrid turbos he’s tuned so that leaves a few question marks. I also prefer flash tunes as there’s no need to ship an ECU back and forth.
Examples of fast cars that I know are DD’s and that run on pump gas in the 1/4 mile:
Just a selection of some from the 1/4 mile database here. Not to mention the JHM shop cars. And all happily DD’ing their cars, doing normal things and the occasional 1/4 mile run.
ZeroT, you would be much better served in seeking a solid daily driver that is fast, using the 1/4 mile as a benchmark. A car that can do normal things in normal conditions. That is why we love our Audi sedans and wagons. These are the cars that don’t fall apart at the dragstrip, causing more months of heartache for the owner. Rather than just shooting for an out and out drag car.
Zero WTF ard you thinkig…jconz is a guy who whores himself out amd will try to tune anything b3cauae he needs the biz. Jconz uses stolen tunes and then makes adjustments on them…the facts are right here on this site. You have to send the ecu in because the guy has been caught stealing and using solen tunes and hiding his work saves his ass…jcoz ismt a repitable tuner he is a guy that will take on amy work out of desperation for work. So whwn you have 18 year old kids with shit parts on there cars and real companys wont tune there car the conz will. You just spent what looks to be almost a year akd 3 shops getting your car running and now you want to let someone TRY TO FIGGURE OUT A TUNE FOR YOUR CAR…ARE U OUT OF UR MIND. …sure zero that sounds like its right up ur league…let someone with little experence and no knowledge FIGGURE OUT HOW TO TUNE these turbos on your car…
Egnore that when APR wanted help with tuning the contacted cv…egnore that jhm/cv cars have top spots in track and drivable siuations…hell give me a shot. Ill go download a stolen tune off the one site amd help you out…
As for having more then one file…im pretty sure jhm is using the apr technical flash…if this is true you can have more then one file on your jhm ecu. .you can toggle between several tunes from the cruze c9ntrol selection…now your problems are solved ask jhm for a street and race file…you can have them on the same ecu
I didn’t think that JHM tuning had the control stalk change thing… Do they? Thought it was only apr.
The APR technical flash where I can have more than one setting/map would be 100% perfect. I like the sounds of that. I wonder if that’s something JHM can give me.
Bangoman. I’d rather give up some road manners and have a high 10/low 11 second car. But if that 10.8 second JHM S4 is being driven daily - it sounds like I could have the best of both worlds with their tune.
Chris K and his crazy keyboard, classic.
There are ways to do the programming so that the different maps (timing, boost, whatever) are on the ecu, and you actually can change on the fly at a stoplight. One doesn’t necessarily need to switch the maps based on the cruise control stalk input either (to avoid having to license APR’s patent on the CC stalk feature). I’m sure CV has the skill to add this, though I doubt he has the desire or motivation to do any tweaking to the tune that he’s already ironed out over the years. But it is possible and relatively easy.
Kind of ironic, coming from a 5 year old, 14 sec flop that is on it’s 2nd or 3rd motor, has a broken clutch, and looks like hell. But hey, at least it appears as if you’ve quit thieving, as you haven’t had a nice motor or car since your last one got confiscated.
Oh no, not the backup of the Wambulance Brigade!
And lol at the “can’t post a sentence without offending the forum.” I hadn’t posted here in like a month, and my first two posts were completely benign, with one congratulating FlaS4 on his 3d printer and the other offering information that Zero Tolerance was seeking. It was then that someone started with this whole garbage, hmm who was it? (hint Post #137)
P.S. I have no claim to fame.

You’re right, no ‘stage 3 B5 guy’ should give information on a B5, as I forgot the AR creedo: information on the B5 can only be given by judgemental V8 owners who neither own a B5 nor know much about it. I got it.
And I typed your name into google because I don’t know what car you have, and the first thread to pop up was a thread titled “euroswagr’s quest for 12’s” with a youtube video. You keep on chasing that 12.99 et with your 300whp car, you 1/4 mile god you. 
[quote=“sakimano,post:203,topic:3893”]
I called you what I did because you were acting ignorant (which, unfortunately for you, was the better case, as it turns out that you are just a simple liar). And I’m laughing at me ‘hurling abusive insults.’ Do you not process the inflammatory stuff that you post daily as you write it? Is it just on auto-dial for you and you don’t even realize what you do?
[quote=“sakimano,post:203,topic:3893”]
Yup, my car at 15psi pulls on local stage 3 S4’s, yet logically it’s slower than K03 cars and chipped B7’s. Makes sense. The funny thing is that you are unaware of any of my pulls, and you don’t have any information regarding the performance of my car, so of course you default blatantly lying and “your car is slower than an A4/K03 car,”
Hey retard, go back and re-read the sentence of yours that I quoted. ‘That’s all you said’? Uh no, that’s not all you said.
“this build has nothing on real marathon (but still not running) builds…like guruman, jibberjive, nycvr6 etc at 2 years.”
You said that my build is still not running, and this is not the first time you’ve tried to say this. Quit trying to manipulate with things that are ‘almost true’ and I’ll quit commenting on them and calling you out on it.
Hey fellas, I’m sorry to leave you all salty and barge into the house, crashing ‘the cool kid’s’ frat while you are all trying to give each other back rubs and tell each other ‘no, you’re cooler’ ‘no YOU’RE cooler’, but I’m afraid that you’re just going to have to live with me posting where and what I please (within the TOS of the forum). In fact, I just got an idea. If you all hate me so bad and want me gone forever, I dare you to smite me until I get kicked off (if that’s how it works). It would be hilarious to be a shining and undeniable illustrative example of the what the heart of this forum is: a place that would ban someone like me, yet let the ‘dregs of the Audi community’ FAW and an aggressive manipulator like Saki have free reign. You guys won’t do it ;D
Haha…thanks for googling me, I feel special and I’ll keep “hoping” for that 12.99.
Do you really think I’ve owned one car my whole life? or that I have zero experience with turbo/supercharged motors? Lastly, I have less than 20 passes in my S4, but you think that is it as far as my 1/4mile experience…I never claimed to be a god at anything, but your probably right…you’ve made more excuses to dodge the track than I’ve made passes in my life.
Edit: fortunately for you jibber, I’ve decided to move on from my B7 to pursue a new truck. Even though I am confident that my NA B7 S4 would crush 95% of the B5 S4s running around the streets at this very moment.
[quote=“jibberjive,post:214,topic:3893”]
With all the work you put in to that long pile of trash, you could have used that energy to post some updates to your magnificent gt28 build of yours. I also would like to say that your build and its outcome was the highlight of my life. It has inspiered me to add an s4 to my collection of cars in my driveway.
I own 1 Toyota truck, a black and a white b5 a4, a b5 a4 3.0 and a black 2001 b5s4.
Fuck, I forgot, I sold the s4 for $8000 five months ago.
JibberJACKass, if I wanted a pretty slow car, I would have stole a page from one of your books you wrote about building the perfect flop. Instead, I decided to build a single Turbo car that runs despite how it looks and keep three other cars in my driveway just in case my daily driver needs a paint job.
Jibberjive, answer my questions and if I was wrong I will apologize.
That’s all I asked…answer the questions. You type out novels, but don’t answer anything.
I don’t mind you Jibs, I think you provide good insight and knowledge of the B5 platform.
Now your recent post are a bit on the long end.
Oh, one more thing jibberjive, I took a look at some nice street pulls you had with a stock B7 (with a shitty driver) when your beast was stage 2 “+” and you were getting pulled on like you were in dodge caravan.
Get back to me when you have anything better than a 12.99 to show me…because right now it doesn’t matter if I pushed my car down a track…
didn’t you run 12.86 or something? Jibber can only dream of that lol.
If Jibber is on stock fuel pump, busted transmission, crippled tune, stage 3 minus really, he isn’t pulling on a sorted K04 car. He may pull on a similarly teenage style build K04 car with stock exhaust, K03 tune, stock fuelling and stock intercoolers…tuned by ASP or someone…but he’s not pulling a thing on a sorted K04 car.
I still don’t see where he claims I was lying? He keeps saying it, then keeps avoiding my very simple questions.
