The Stand off. Testing the bentch mark Stage 2+ 1.8T Vs 3.0

You would think that they would keep it all the same through out the world…guess america likes to be different ;D

I am from Australia - and I am hoping to have the fastest 3.0 in australia for a while and then spread the JHM word, it would be nice to have the fastest B6 A4 but there are only handful of BT 1.8’s floating around and I really do mean only a handful.

That would be pretty darn cool!

I’m kinda hoping to have the fastest n/a 3.0 in Canada myself ;D

ok ok ok.

You guys asked for it. So here it is. The new video.

http://audirevolution.net/videos/75/take-2-1.8t-stage2-vs.-jhm-3.0-stage2

please keep in mind that the 3.0 still isn’t all finished project wise. There are still more parts to be tested that we didn’t have time for and still more advancements to be made in the TCU tune.

This car has OEM hogged pipes the catless aftermarket 2.5 pipes should help even more when there ready.

haha fucking awesome… cant wait till they release this stuff.

Count, do you know if they need any beta testers with a manual trans car and BGN motor?

thats siiick! I really want to throw some rocks on AZ so all the asses can eat their crow they deserve but I will try to be the bigger person and restrain myself, lol

Wow. I can’t wait to get this tune in my car. When’s it gonna come out!?

I say we keep all the 1.8 guys in the dark and then blow them away when its realeased and throw up some actual numbers. This is completely awesome though. I can not wait for this to be bolted up to my machine :slight_smile:

The tunes are available now. We just have to send in our ECU’s. After retruning my test ECU I took out both of my ECU"s and sent them out.

Just Email the V8@jhmotorsports.com adress thats what I did.

As for the video that is exactly what it feels like. While its a na car and were not getting 100,000,000 hp there is a much different feel to the car. Its something you will enjoy and be able to feel the difference. The power was very noticable.

Im going to dyno my car stock and jhm modifyed. For me I don’t care about the numbes because the seat of the pants is real and its much more fun to drive. Im more interested in getting it to the track and seeing the difference. The dyno is kinda a waste if you ask me so Im not very motavated to do that.

We should definitely keep az a lil left out of the loop for a little bit. Until we all have ours up and running. God I can’t wait till Tuesday night. I hope all you guys get this greatness soon!

Wow the hogpipes really wake the car up a good bit (in addition to the revised tune). I can’t wait to see it with aftermarket DP’s on there

Sorry guys I couldn’t resist the post on AZ, i’m too siked about this! I always knew even before JHM tuning the 3.0 was the way to go and I’m glad I was right cuz I can only imagine what is to come… (dreaming of SC’er)

Is there any price set for them? If you dont mind sharing…

Even a ball park figure will work, just want to see how many kids I have to steal lunch money from!! Lol

x2

^I would guess pricing is going to be in line with B6/7 S4 pricing. The components are basically the same (i.e. tuning, piggie pipes unless you diy, etc).

And I just want to say, that video is awesome! Very shocking results, I can’t wait to see some more small additions made and some of the 3.0 guys getting out there with them. As I can attest with the S4, as time goes on it will only get better, and all those little things certainly add up!

“and all those little things”

says the man with headers and a SC

Dang! Didn’t go on the internet for a couple days and this pops up. Awesome video, very excited to be up to that performance level ;D

Great video…exciting times.

I think it is time for Keaton to go stage 3

I never really understood the 1.8T thing. Maybe its because I would see soooo many of them in for service. To me the 3.0 is a much more dependable and powerful motor. I always felt there was more to be had in the 3.0 platform, its good to see some of that is getting shown now.
