very curious about the difference between the s4 and the rs4 as they seem to use the same engine-but power outputs are a lot different.

do they use bigger turbo's,etc.,uprate it internally?

just curious about what i can get out of my s4?

 

Bigger turbo's
larger diameter manifolds
Cosworth worked heads
Cosworth rebuilt the engines
Different ECU
Bigger intercoolers
Bigger exhausts
120bhp
Different Cams
Bigger injectors
There's loads more too.......

 

Body mods too....

Rear quarters
Front wings
Bumpers

Etc Etc....

 

yes i know about the body stuff,as was tempted to fit rs4 replica bumpers but may look silly due to arches.cheers rob.

was more interested in the mechanicals.........
easier to buy an rs4..mmmmmmm anyone driven a 2.7 bi turbo rs4?

 

Cant help with your question - but just wanted to say the RS4 looks awesome

 

yeah, good idea, buy one so i can have a go

 

Komp ratio are also different, so different pistons

 

quite expensive for an s/t v reg car-£15k or so,.......

would love to see how it goes though with the extra power as the s4 feels like its missing something-its quick,but very smooth-feels like it would be much better with some more boost!
only feels like about 8psi or something.........30psi!yum,yum..............BANG¬ !

 

Jay, ive got an RS4 Bi Turbo. Absolutely stunning car even though its 6 odd years old!!! Performance wise, there is still probably very little that could worry it in terms or straight line, handling and braking (ive got the newer B7 V8 Model front brakes).

That said, they are expensive and they hold their money really well. But pretty rare.

Any questions give us a shout.

cool,thanks for that-what power are they actually-out of the box?
im really liking the s4,love the look of it,especially in nogaro blue,and its very practical....feels very solid and nice to drive......just needs some more power.may get it remapped and see what its like then-and some porsche brakes or rs4 ones.

or it may get sold,knowing me!

 

I drove a s4 with full rs4 turbos manifold was so say mapped to around 400 bhp.Tbh felt slow and not 400 bhp but it is a huge car went ok.Was strugling to keep up with the my clio v6 round the twisties in the s4.He did know the road better than me and the s4 is more motor way beast i supose.

 

really boring cars best kept well alone

 

Mine is 509bhp, and there ain't alot of cars out there that will keep up with it....especially on the sunny side of 190mph.....5 up...in an estate.
STD they are 380bhp. Chipped 420bhp. Exhaust, cats and stage 2 is like 450bhp..... Bulletproof.

 

how did u get a crash helmet over ur EARS...........................

 

borrowed your's

 

What do you have to do to get them to 509bhp?

Was looking at getting one next and been interested in them for ages.

 

Alot of cash.
Engine out
Bigger turbo's
Sports Cats
Manifolds
Downpipes
Boost pipes
Headwork
Cams
ECU upgrade
Fuel lines
Fuel pumps
Water injection
Air filter.
With that you will need
Brakes front and rear
Suspension
Anti roll bars
Bushes

Like anycar really, if you spend the money, you get results. The more you spend, the faster you go!!

You don't have to go too crazy, but with all the other mods on mine......£75k + car !!!!

 

that looks fuckin cool...

 

Very nice Chris


Brian

 

Ive got an RS4...



...grill and suspesion on my S4 does that count



cossymad, i like, very nice

 

my yellow rs4 will be for sale soon,away getting new turbos and that fitted to it

i havent raced one car that has bet me yet,they are awesome,i think you should get one at some point jay you will not regret it

 

As the other RS4 owners have said above Jay, Just all round awesome and bulletproof.

You wont regret it, but then knowing you it will be sold in 2 weeks again!!!

 

ill put it on the shopping list.........

 

Looking at an S4 for my next car, Thats lovely as an RS4 shame I cant afford one!

 

Turn the traction control off then

Or are u refuring to the fact you don't need to waste countless hours repairing them etc!

 

only joking this one's mine and i dont have traction control or any driver aids

 

here's pics of my old one on track/awaiting at coombe with john roberts at the time both cars had 458bhp mtm kits on them

 

cool,saw the audi saloon out on track at donnington on 27th dec.very quick car.

 

I used to have an S4, thought it was great, carry the family and a few other things if you want, and superb on the twisties.....sold it bought another m3 evo for nice power slides but i do miss the confidence you get in the wet with the audi. Would love an RS4, in fact would take one over an M3...........and that comes from someone that loves M3's!!!!
