RS4 Supercharger Argument

B6/7 S4/RS4

Breaking News: We have some performance info from AMD!

Well…sort of. They claim it is half a second faster from 3000-8000 than the APR supercharger. So it’s 60 or so RPM/second quicker. Not that great really vs. a TVSr1320 on pump.

They have also confirmed that they’re not going to find the limits of the motor…which makes sense since they use customer cars as their testbed.

^^^that’s the long winded way of saying we can’t afford to put our money where our (big) mouth is. So we put our customer’s money where our (big) mouth is.

Further, they’ve claimed a half dozen times in an argument thread on quattrofail that their kit is available and ‘on the market’…although the reports we get from potential customers are that there are still loads of delays and excuses. Pretty much a failboat all around. Lots of the usual fanboys of AMD chiming in with ‘I’ve ridden in this car and it feels fast!’ . Pretty lame. They really need to grow up and become a big boy tuning company already.

Lets bee real con@amd is just pissijg in the wind. They have 1 unit on 1 customers car and they are hopinv fo make it look like this kit is working. .con@amd is now chamgijg his big 600whp bullshit caim down to there is issues with cylinder pressure…lol what a fraud tuat guy is

#351

Blah blah blah . If it’s not on the market it’s not for sale .
Period .

Somebody somehere might have started this project but its clearly not finished .
They might have a better time selling it without a tune .

Duud40 my thoughts exactly. Bla bla bla boo hoo hoo

First, I know this is all pretty anecdotal and may be of no value to this board…but then again maybe it will be.

I rode in the Car #1 AMD SC’d car at The Ridge Motorsports Park yesterday. I’ve never rode in an APR SC’d car, so I can’t compare in those terms. I can say that the experience “felt” as fast as ride alongs in a V10 R8s I’ve been in. At the end of the front stretch the speedo was in the 150mph zone. I was hitting 120…maybe could have hit 130 if I had been confident enough to push it (I’m very novice compared to other driver)

Car was definitely fast. Turn 2-3 at TRMP are pretty uphill and in my car it is a 3rd gear spot. He took those turns in 4th a few laps and 3rd a few laps. Surprisingly, there was no noticeable difference. My car would have lugged BAD in 4th.

Final bit of anecdotal info: we chased down and passed a TTRS in pretty short order. Both drivers are ACNW Instructors…who knows if they are even in skill or not…but we caught it in under a lap.

It was a lot of fun and the car was definitely fast. I have no plans on getting one (I have enough power and need to get better at driving) thought I would share.

^^^good info

the 1900 should be awesome for these cars. Especially top end. Monstrous.

Hopefully the tune doesn’t hold it back where we traditionally drive these cars (0-100)…and where EPL tuning has traditionally run into trouble.

How many cars are supercharged now? Did that guy with the Avus Ti car finally get his kit on? RS4PER or something? He was supposed to get it back in November, but kept getting delayed. I think he had downpipes first (AMD made exhaust as well)

p.s. don’t forget the stock TTRS is not really a monster. A JHM tuned/exhaust RS4 would sit door handle to door handle with a stock TTRS at any discipline (dragrace, road course, whatever you like other than maybe sliding under low barriers). Also, an R8 V10 would have it’s hands full with an APR RS4. I would imagine a 1900 kit making 500 whp should RAPE an R8 V10. The TTS RS4 for example is faster than any R8, including the GT.

JHM tune/exhaust RS4 vs. TTRS - who would win?

Funny timing. He just posted a photo of his aviva on QW.

#356

who?

#357

RS4Per

#358

oh

Hopefully he gets it out to a dragstrip or puts a pbox on from 0-100 or something so we can do some stock vs. supercharged comparisons like the APR and TTS kits have. Since we know AMD doesn’t own an RS4, it will mean they will (again) lean heavily on their customers for testing…which always turns into a riot lol.

#359

A fun time to be an RS4 owner!

#360

The car was actually doing just under 170mph at 8300 rpms in 5th gear by the end of the straight.

#361

Wow! Guess I should have not made that post this morning…

#362

Nah, it was a good post - gives us some idea of how fast the car was. Not the bit where it “felt fast” but taking down a TTRS with ease gives us a good indication. And most importantly, you gave us hope that the thing is up and running and being tested hard, it seems.

#363

Yes hopefully we see and hear lots from the half dozen owners of the kit. I think mjackson said there were six?

Rs4per got one this week and he posts on qworld so maybe he will chime in.

I can already sense the dragstrip stuff won’t happen via him though since I think he lives in so Cal and there are no tracks within a million miles of there.

People don’t get that we are all just genuinely excited to see another kit on the scene. Forged internals and a good blower kit means a $35,000 rs4 plus a ten thousand dollar kit can see you making 500 whp in an ultra rare car that is very capable wherever it goes (strip, road course, groceries, office).

Years of broken promises and then m90 kits (vomit) and lies… It’s over finally it seems and the car is starting to kick some ass. Fun to watch.

#364

RS4Per lives in SoCal? OMG, this forum is amazing.

You fucking idiots probably think I’m actually Michael Jackson…you guys want some autographed Thriller Albums?

#365

why are we idiots? Where does he live?
Do we know everyone’s address? I was going by recollection based on his intro thread from 12 months ago. Is per a place? I thought it was his name. It’s Swedish.

Man you really are a useless little mouthpiece. You asked me how to change your username. I think I just thought of a good one for you…

#366

Seattle area. Installed at AMD.

#367

Most people drive up from Socal for a set of down pipes and a SC install.

#368

Hey shit for brains…anyone who wants this kit can’t exactly mail order it. Anyway what’s the big deal. Mickf29 from your area drove to jhm for a tune and downpipes install. I’ve seen guys drive hundreds of miles especially for a beta install.
