I understand this guys frustration but his thread is pointless. Nobody on AZ is going to be able to help him. Stomping his feet like a damn child
I agree, and all it will do is deter others from self-flashing. It’s probably something stupid that he is doing. JHM is bending over backwards like he said, but why the fuck is he ranting.
Another funny part is he says that he is $1600 into everything…like buying a new laptop is now part of the price of a JHM tune…
Who knows, maybe someone might be able to. And even if no one can, he probably doesn’t know that. He’s not blaming anyone in particular, he’s just frustrated. I understand where he’s coming from.
Someone needs to tell MRC and JHM about this before they waste any more time on those useless n/a engines.
Can you imagine the blank stares that would come from the majority of the B8 S4 community if they realised there is an 11.4 @ 125 mph RS4 quarter mile time on a car that is full interior, running pump gas, no meth, no tricks?
And that was driven by someone scared to break a customer’s car? It did that without breaking a sweat, and then never bothered to try after that (nor has anyone else).
It’s comical what gets posted over there.
What’s the link to that 11.4 video? I can’t browse youtube at work

MRC customer’s car driven by a MRC employee during development.
No blank stares, stage 3 b8 will go faster than the stage 3 rs4. rs4 won’t ever go faster than 11.4 and it almost broke the car because it’s compression is too high for boost. top b8s4 times are almost exactly the same as the rs4, bla bla.
those are your predictions? Or did people actually post that?
RS4 will run 10s @ 130 within the next 6 months, stock motor.
Sarcasm on my part, that’s what the response to me posting the video was. I think it will hit 10s.
They already said that? lol
bangoman asked “what’s the fastest Audi sedan on pump gas” and even Arin from APR lost his mind and quoted a B8 S4 that was 6-7 tenths slower than the MRC RS4 lol…NOT TO MENTION his partner Keith @ APR who went 11.8 @ 117 on pump gas in an APR stage III RS4 lol.
Auditude of course says the RS4 “can’t make crazy numbers because of compression ratio”
Let;s think about that…the RS4 trapped 125 mph on pump fucking gas. It dyno’d 500 whp on a dozen different cars. Are B8 guys really eating his shit up and believing he has a fucking clue what he’s talking about?
Then he said “the B8 S4, if it gets a bigger supercharger, will be faster”. Ummm…based on what? Someone remind him that there is an AMD RS4 supercharger kit already running on a few cars that uses the TVS 1900. And that JHM is about to take their kit on their car to Sacramento Raceway and show the world something nasty.
It’s weird how the people in that subforum turn a blind eye to simple facts in order to make themselves feel better.
Meh, it’s right in front of their eyes and they choose not to accept it, not much more anyone can do.
We now have ALUMISIL coated cylinder walls…

A little background…the q-dubz kid PMed me when a few of us were discussing rebuilds. He said he will be rebuilding an engine soon and found a machine shop to do it for him…I said …“cool, man” Can’t wait for that to happen.
Yeah I saw that thread, didn’t even bother posting. I wonder who that vendor is he is referring to about sleving the block. I assume JHM?
Is there no cure for this infection???
bigserve, keep in mind who you are dealing with over there… j has been very realistic with his posts it’s basically auditude, paperish, and that steve dude who are in left field… Auditude only cares about 60-130’s now because he can’t launch and on top of that he only talks about runs that are done in negative 1000+ da’s… lol I would most likely go low 11.6 in those conditions… Funny thing is when he drove his dad’s car it was all about the 1/4 mile because he ran one good time… Ask him out right why he hasn’t hit the strip he won’t answer but we all know why… Paperish posts like 4 hours a day but can’t find the time to hit a strip granted he’s right there are none in LA but go for a drive and prove us all wrong… He would go 12.3 at best! LOL I’d be willing to put money on that… In fact I’ll pay for his gas to get there and entry fee if he can go faster… The steve guy just quotes my times and says “we” are already doing 11.6! LOL Yeah two of us that is with Bear right there… Those guys are something and live in a dream world so probably not worth arguing… Your car would walk Auditudes and be right there with paperish and probably still beat him…
They can’t even see that the two B8’s on my pump gas, 1/4 mile screenshot are actually 4.2’s. I particularly enjoyed Arin pointing out that he has actual data showing auditurd’s stage 1 B8 S4 would not be wasting any stage 3 S5’s anytime soon.
Those that you mention struggle so hard to see beyond the 3.0t. They slate bigserve for spending $$$ to get his 4.2 to where it is, rather than “hey nice car, can’t wait to see if our stage 3 will be as fast”.
Comparing all the pjmp gas times from 4.2 cars is kind of funny.
We have seen that the race gas gives the b8 up to about 3-4 tenths and 3-4 mph. So why are we comparing race gas to pump gas again?
12.0@114-115 is the b8 best on pump, yes? that’s excellent no doubt.
But that tts rs4 went 11.4 but at 125 mph on pump gas. Conveniently none of them are looking at trap speed. That’s 10 mph… And that is gigantic. That’s the difference between a stock b8 s4 vs prime time with $10,000 in mods plus a race gas 104+ file. Think tht would be close?
That is in another world. In a highway pull that rs4 would put a bus length or two ON PRIMETIME… Let alone a regular tune/intake/exhaust b8 on pump gas.
I am trying to make peoples expectations realistic. It’s exactly like you are saying Prime, there are only realistically only two cars in the 11s, yours and Bear’s. These guys don’t realize that, most likely, they would only do 12.0 race / 12.4 pump.
I’d say 11s are possible if they had everything like you two - intake & exhaust & HFC/test & CPS. Plus a light enough car and SOME dragstrip experience. I can’t stress enough, like you, that these guys have to go and set their own times before they should be talking about how fast their cars are. Which is why I talk about Bear’s car instead of yours, it’s a car I’ve seen and even drove, kinda left no doubt in my mind as to how your car runs those times.
Haha, Auditurd…I have seen that reference multiple times on AR but just made the connection now. Ya Jspazz’s post are all spot on, but the trifecta of retards of so far off…
I really dont care what they think about my car vs theirs (epeen size). I am just trying to bring them back to reality
Not only that, I am saying APR stage III 3.0T will surpass the current APR 4.2 stage III by 40 hp (TVS1320on 4.2…has been beaten to death), which is an generous estimate. And they still refuse to accept it, quoting 540whp…are you kidding me? ROFL. /faceplam /slapupsidehead
