yeah, that B5 absolutely walked my old S4, which was basically stock RS4 fast. It put 3-4 cars on my from 3rd to top of 4th. I’d estimate it should run 12.1-12.3 @ 115 in the quarter mile (the B5). Seeing the RS4 put 3-4 cars on it in similar pulls…and put 3 buslengths on it in a 1st to 5th pull is mindblowing.
That was indeed a mind blowing video. I don’t know if the frankinturbos are better then the RS6 turbos but I know there suposed to be better then the ko4’s. No matter how you stack it that RS4 was moving out.
Frankenturbos are veeery similar to , but slightly better than K04 turbos. They flow better up top.
RS6 turbos are another notch up.
The reason for the thread is because I heard that the RS4 in that quick video went to the dragstrip. I was wondering what it ran.
OMFG. I watched this video several times. That car sounds like hell on wheels. What a great sound. What a absolute destruction of the Vast tuned car. Was the stage iii car really racing?
I would love to hear more information about this car. OMG I can’t get that sound out of my head. Is there more footage on that car? I could watch it all day long.
Was this inspiration for your switch? If so, can’t wait…
lol if you heard it in person you’d shit your diaper. I did multiple times. Then when i rode in it i jizzed everywhere. Brutal machine
there’s more footage, but…
but…?
HOLY FUCK NUGGETS. I WANT RS4!!
Makes me want to part out my car and ditch it for an RS4
fuuuuuuuuu
lol
you guys need to remember
- this is a TVS1320…a.k.a. not a very well chosen blower for the RS4
- this car in the state it’s in vs. a sorted JHM supercharged S4 wouldn’t be far apart
- the stage III avant is a typical K04/FT stage III car (actually it’s atypical in that it was running well, but you know what I mean…typical performance wise for a good running stage III B5 lol)
Take Jason’s car or 91GL’s car and line it up with that B5 and they would kill it also.
Jason (Jason Harbinson from JHM) told me he didn’t think that RS4 felt all that fast when he was driving it. He was comparing it to his B6.
I just can’t wait to see a JHM Vortech kit on an RS4 without the 425 whp ceiling on its head…THAT’S going to be a funny video!
but y’all won’t see it! Privacy issues.
Maybe just the soundtrack then? ;D
lol…
The soundtrack really isnt bad either. Some of those pulls sound mean as all fuck!
lol - so do some editing magic and blurr whatever is needed.
I know they were saying the RS4 has some parts of the motor that are more stout than the non-FSI 4.2s…How much power can the RS4 hold on a stock block?
–I’m really thinking about getting into an RS4 within a couple years
I think both the RS4 and S5 will handle 500whp no problem, probably more. Forged rods and pistons in both motors, which may also help with the cylinder wall scoring issues (less piston expansion)
WOO HOO!
Don’t tell the B5 world though. They’ll never believe 500whp on stock block. So many of them would always point to the inability of the V8 cars to make serious power as their excuse for holding on to their B5s (the $50,000 acquisition cost aside probably had something to do with it too). This despite the fact that their OTS stage III B5s only made 380-410 whp lok. I’d always see them post 'if I could have a blown V8 making 500whp I’d sell me B5 right now and buy a ‘XXX’. Well, let’s see who steps up in 2012…beacuse that’s happening.
Dan’s getting ready to mount that blower to his Sprint Blue killer. Looking forward to seeing that happen.
They have forged rods/piston from the factory!? …Now all I need to hear is that JHM’s carbonator works, then I’m sold.
I can add some information. Part of that information is that. SOMEONE took a lot of time to put that clutch in the car and then some other people left him stranded as they went and raced the car…just saying LOL
Maybe I know what the car did at its next track visit 
Either way great editing and respect. Very classy thumbs up to sakimano for sharing this
The RS4’s and S5’s have much stronger supporting features so they go well with FI mods.
