no way…that is hilarious! Here is my 600whp firebreathing monster…that can barely keep up with 350-400whp cars.
^^ there’s a thread on that on AZ. I’ll try to look for the link. Pretty funny

12.2 aint keeping up with my 362WHP dyno proven race gas B8 S4… Heck it won’t keep up with my car on pump gas 93… Dyno’s FTL… LOL…
here’s the AZ thread: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/579267-Twin-charged-b8-s4-making-500-whp-on-91-map-at-the-dragstrip-(race-fuel)
Yeah, makes sense…at the b5’ers making excuses because thats what they do.
“My Stage 3 b5 makes 700whp on 40 psi, but I am only doing 12.5 because I have a boost leak, and the tune needs refinement, and it was hot, and I had just gotten a manicure and didn’t want to ruin my nails”
and then the B8 guys being like
“Please tell me more about how you b5 guys are geniuses and we should all listen to your advice about how to go slow with super high hp cars.”
Revo just announced their “Stage 1+” pulley upgrade.
Sweet axis labels.

How MTM of them
wow that is just insulting. They can’t take 2 seconds to add a y axis to this graph? Maybe Revo should have just gone down with stasis.
LOL ;D
would fit in well in that ‘Inconvenient Truth’ film
[QUOTE=LOWLIFE_S4;9890193]I have the feeling those aren’t going to be cheap or even close to the cost of the original 4.2l is with low miles. I would laugh if those aren’t making the “400hp” stated. I’m sure it’s 400 crank which would still put the real numbers down in the very low 300’s. They are still using the original fuel system which is pretty restrictive. Let me know if one of you buys one and has it dyno’d or better yet take it to the track and get some 1/4mile slips or video.

interesting comment about ‘real numbers’
lolol so ‘real’ is now dyno wheel horsepower? that’s hilarious
where’s the auction he listed? I guess it’s over? Anyone see what it was about?
Spyker was going to sell a bunch of assets to pay tax debt. Part of those assets were a lot of 85 Audi 4.2 v8’s. The engines looked the same as the 4.2 BHF. Although, Spyker rates them at 400hp. Some were wondering/speculating if they are the same 4.2 v8 found in the b67, if so, would it drop into a b67, and how are they rated at 400hp (Spyker) vs 340 (Audi), etc.
They do seem to be extremely similar, but can’t find anything to confirm they are the same.
probably just rounding up
also don’t forget the Audi 340hp output assumes lots of things
- shitty Audi manifolds
- shitty Audi downpipes with 4 catalytic converters
- shitty Audi 2" catback with crimps and noise managing mufflers and resonators
- shitty 91 octane fuel (lowest denominator)
- restrictive Audi tune
if you took the engine and dyno’d it with a set of 2.5" downpipes with no cats and a good Fast Intentions 2.5" catback while running it on 93 octane and a good tune I’m comfortable you’d push around 30-40 whp more than stock…which is around 40-50 hp crank more than stock…which gets you pretty close to rounding to 400!
Yup, sort of what I would assumed as well. Also it seems Spyker was able to pay those debts by other means and pulled the aution.
