Ha, I’ve reduced my collection but still enjoy them once in a while. I also have both nitro and electric. I 100% agree that brushless motor / lipo powered electric vehicles are much faster than their gas powered counterparts. Even the OTS versions are much faster. The 100MPH comment is not an exagferationn. Just look up the Traxxas XO-1, 1/7 scale on road car. Out of the box (after a download of an app) the car will do 100MPH in something ridiculous like 4.9 seconds.

I truly am an overgrown kid when it comes to these types of hobbies/toys. Thank God I have nephews who are as obsessed as I once was who now give me a legit excuse to take them out and have fun.

Sorry - back on topic. ;D

hahaha normally you would be right in your assumption but no not this time lol. i was reworking the plumbing for my sump system as earlier that day 8 gallons of water went missing… my neighbor downstairs found it all in there bathroom downstairs… lol thats a union slip joint with a small section of nylon tubing

#54

I knew someone would comment on that thinking it might be something other than what it actually is. lol.

#55

well it looks like either some sort of industrial dildo or a bong lol

#56

:slight_smile:

reworking the plumbing for your sump system? That sounds complicated. That sounds like a phone call to me. I don’t mess with my electricity or plumbing at home. If it can electrocute me or flood the house, I call in a professional.

ahh, sorry, thought you were talking about your house. Didn’t realise it was for the tank.

winterrunner, RS4 owner, has a crazy shrimp as a pet. It’s some kind of aggressive killer lol.

he flkicks his tail at them and obliterates them…it’s nuts. Apparently if you grab him it’s quite possible to have your fringer broken, that’s how violent it is. Pretty funny.

#59

Sorry to interrupt, gents, would it be off-topic to bring up the possibility of the S4 stock 1320 module on the 3.2 FSI? Lol, maybe a new thread is required. Anyhoo…would make the cost of this blower a lot more feasible.

#60

i believe there was an a5 guy trying to do this job.

#61

ooohhh. was hoping more a B8 avant, but still. any links, or just a local guy?

It seems it’s using Bosch MED9, which seems to have ECU flashloaders available (even through the OBDII port) so a blower conversion to a 3.2 FSI ‘should’ be tunable by a local shop…

#62

what’s a used TVS1320 worth? I think you can get one new for $2000 or so. I can’t see a used one commanding much.

The R&D to build a 3.2 TVSr1320 kit using the S4 hardware would be probably be tuning company type work, rather than ‘I’m going to try this’ type work. So to that end, I don’t think you’d have a big market for the parts until that has been done.

Would be a cool project for APR. Act as a middleman, run a core program for B8 S4 guys who go stage 3, and then sell to A4/A5 3.2 guys.

#63

I think it’s worth a fuckload more than that…the entire module, in which the 1320 is integral, is likely to bolt right up to the 3.2 - it even says in the “self-study guide” to the 3.0T that the intake was basically adapted from the 3.2 - I wonder if the head had any port changes to it at all. The block IS the same…

All said and done, you should be able to make a 350-400WHP 3.2FSI out of this “bolt-on”, if the tuning was figured out on MED9, which is in the public domain. And a damn easy bolt-on, at that, just have to get a pump and rad for the intercoolers.

#64

why would you only make 350-400 whp?

Anyway, I don’t think it’s worth a ‘fuckload more’ than that. Someone just listed a barely used 3.0T inlcuding supercharger etc + 8 speed transmission for $6,000.

#65

I’m not into inflated numbers, but I’d guess 350whp pump/400whp race is typical tuned 3.0T performance. If anyone thinks 12.4 pump and 12.0 race is slow, well that’s up to them, I guess.

I want the link for that motor, I couldn’t find it when you talked about it last time…

#66

Pushing a TVSr1320 to it’s max on good pump gas should push 400 whp without question. The RS4 kits trapping 116-118 are getting a little over 400 on pump. The B8 guys running low low 12s @ 115 are certainly making close to 400.

search for it maybe next time? :slight_smile:

Oh, and 8 days, and zero offers.

#67

Still, dot you think that’ll be a worthwhile upgrade?

#68

3.2 FSI is also Simos :wink:

#69

what gave you the impression that I didn’t think it would be worthwhile? Was it the part where I said it would push closer to 400 whp? Or the part where I said it would be a cool project? Yeah, I must be just being a hater again. I forgot you own a B8, thus you take whatever I say and invert it.

Ha, yes exactly. B7RS4V8itis, you fucking hater keep turning it back to the 4.2FSI…:slight_smile:

You said it would be a cool project for APR, I was hoping it would be a cool project for anybody.

But apparently it is pretty much limited to APR, or GIAC at this point, thanks to the news from silentbob (hey buddy!).

#71

Should be Simos, which is why we never bothered with it in the past.

I’ve actually discussed this a little bit with engineering. The cost and time associated with it probably would not be cheap. And would there even be a large enough market to justify doing so? I still think the idea is pretty cool though.

And well there you go. :wink:
