a4 performance

[a4matt]

hey i drive a 98 audi a4, i want to add some performance, but there isnt that much available that would give me the hp numbers im lookin for, i would really like to swap the s4 motor into it but i dont have any idea where to start on that, im not sure of anyone who deals with the audi's. any idea's?

[King Ricer]

you could see if SLS could make you a turbo kit or they might be able to do the swap

[PSiedTSi]

if you have $$$ anythin is possible with what you have...its all custom...do you have the 1.8T or what?

[a4matt]

ya i have the 1.8, Where is SLS located?

[PSI2HI]

Oh my. Honestly if you wanted to swap a S4 motor in, you'd be more feasable to buy an S4. We did a clutch on a S4 when we were in our old shop and all i can say is WOW! Those cars are definatly a PITA to work on. To get @ the turbos the motor needs to come off all of its mounts and be slid forward to even access them.

I've never paid close enough attention to an A4 to comment. I assume them you dont have the 1.8T.

[PSiedTSi]

they came in 1.8T and 2.8 all with the option of AWD

[excessive]

What are you looking for? Ive done alot with those 1.8ts and they have a huge following so you just need to figure out your desired goals and budget...

[a4matt]

well im looking to add as much power as i can with out taking away its driveability, im willing to spend a fair amount of money.

[Dangler]

there are a TON of options w/the 1.8T - probably more than the S4's 2.7T

start here - www.mnaudi.com. Tell Jordan (club pres, site owner) that I sent you

matt what do you need any mods for...cant you already beat rays evo..or even my eclipse?

[btleier]

a 1.8t beating an evo? I highly doubt that unless he's HEAVILY modified.

[ravi]

If I were you I would start here:

ECU "chip" - This will increase boost, and will manage your fueling accordingly.
There is many brands to choose from. Stick to these: Revo/APR/GIAC

Revo - (sciperformance.com)
(goapr.com)
GIAC - (awe-tuning.com)

Turbo-back exhaust - once again, many brands/combos to choose from. If you're sticking to a stock turbo go w/ either 2.5" or 2.75" piping.

If you can't find the part your lookin for at those sites, here are my favorite tuners across the US. They'll hook you up with any part at very competitive pricing. I've had experience with all of the following.

1. Avalon motorsports
2. Achtuning
3. ECS tuning
4. Matrix engineering

Don't even consider doing an engine swap... you'll be in WAY over your head. This is a great place to start modding your A4 and it'll feel much quicker. You can expect your hp/tq #'s to be (+50hp and +80tq).

Look to spend around $500 for the chip and around $800 for a decent exhaust system. If you're looking for used parts try the audiworld.com classifieds or the mnaudi.com classifieds.

[a4matt]

first of all i have never said anything about beating an evo, and secondly your eclipse is a peice of shit, the last owner disconected the odometer....hmmm maybe thats why your motor blew to shit. I saw that eclipse lose to a mustang that runs 17's

[PSiedTSi]

who are you talkin to?

[a4matt]

Mwc

[btleier]

good way to make friends on here......... sorry but a stock gsx would take your a4 to town any day.......

why so hostile? please settle down...

[92TSIpos]

I highly doubt a gsx would run anything close to a 17 second run. Stock they are like 15 second cars at the least. If I were you I would get my stories straight before posting.

[PSiedTSi]

that gsx did run 17s

[Jim]

Pick one:

I'm just messing around... Guys i'm sure he knows that a GSX would take an A4.

Just a word though, please leave the personal shit alone, it's started to much in the past; take it to PM (yes they are fixed now).

[Joel]

How big are the turbo's on A4's? My aunt has an A6 with the 2.7 and all I know is that thing halls ass.
