B8 S4
#181

this is quite a revelation.

As we’ve seen in the past, APR has had the good sense to step away from a project when it just didn’t move the needle enough. They made a B67 S4 supercharger with an Eaton M90 (think small V6 blower for 6000 RPM domestics). It didn’t do much, and after consulting with Count Vohn on the project (which according to MeowtheManatee and TwitS4Estate would only be about Ford axles?) they decided to shelve the project and eat a giant financial shitburger.

So maybe they did that here, and Mag went ahead?

I don’t think APR would make such a high integrity decision and then agree to whore their reputation by tuning it (since the tune will inevitably be blamed for the shit performance since the blower moves the RS4 and Z06 so well).

It’s definitely confusing!

Question: does this mean you’ll finally be able to run 11 something?

p.s. fucking traitor for selling your Rs4

;D

#183

Still happy with my decision :smiley:

You are onto something. Now just imagine if there was a contract stipulating X# of purchases and a company realizing that they could never sell that many after signing said contract years ago…

I’m still trying to see a German car other than a 911 go 12’s never mind 11’s. I can’t figure out why every S4 ran 13’s at the last JHM meet in Sacramento. You can’t attribute Auditude’s runs to “good conditions”. He is a unicorn. Like the billionaires at Uber. Peak conditions. Peak performance. I’m impressed that he can do it and it seems credible because the Internet has amplified his achievement, I just haven’t seen anyone repeat a performance within a full second of that. Unless there’s some secret sauce we don’t have. Maybe he’s the Walter White of cooking his own fuel. Or like many New Yorkers, cooking the books.

West…you…are a fucking idiot.

#187

^^ ya I don’t even know how to respond to him anymore. He must be intentionally dense.

#188

well I’m glad west is still west… lol at least he’s consistent.

#189

This is like the drag racing stories. Maybe you guys build motors? I could go stage 3 1740 charger and I would run 12 seconds flat, barely.

For the 1,876,461st time, check out our 1/4 mile database. HAVE YOU STILL NOT LOOKED AT IT??

Nimwit.

West you are just a custom NASA underbody/diffuser and $500 modbargains front lip away from 12’s. Have faith.

#192

Lolololol

#193

A funnel… Hmm.

#194

drob that was some funny shit lol

#195

Lol! Why are they making people take out a stout aluminum reservoir for that? I’d hope that’s an option.

#196

Saki, thanks! I was thinking more you’d grudgingly give me credit for sticking with a big old German NA V8 :-). If I wasn’t on Tapatalk I’d karma you.

Thanks Rich for coming back here…yeah questions for sure…

1.) Have they said what pulley you are getting or offered any choices? I’m curious how fast they want to spin that blower, and what PRs/boost levels they are aiming for.

2.) Are they offering 91/93/100/104 tunes?

3.) is communication through APR or Magnusson? Curious who will support the upgrade path that goes from here, esp in terms of tuning.

An aside, I’m kinda floored there’s no HPFP upgrade, when the injectors must be close to maxed out on race has stage II. Unless they don’t need to run the 11.0 AFRs like the stage II setups did, because of the increased 1740 blower efficiency.

And promise you’ll do some logs…definitely want to see how they calibrated the mass flow of the new blower with the new pressure/IAT/AFR.

#197

Another great member returns. Rich think about maybe making your own thread on this. It would be good to have a thread here so you an actually speak about your thoughts on a forum that wont fill the post with flame posts. So far it sounds like the guys who have gotten this kit are more tools then real car guys. It would be nice to have good information from a good sorce

#198

Rich come by us… I’ll dust off the vag com laptop and help out. It’s been a while since I made up some data graphs.

#199

Haha higher displacement funnel???

Probably so you can gravity bleed the blower. I wonder if it has similar bleed screws to the 1320. Does the divorced system still burp in the same way as factory?

#200

you’re either dumber than dumb, or are trolling

either one is worthy of your forum life ending. Hopefully your karma reflects this in short order.
