A 2000 S4. Now that doesn't sound cool at first but this car has a 3.0 V6 with two huge garett turbos. Car makes like 600-700hp. Pics Chris at Anderson Motorsports built the car. And let me say the quality of work is unmeasurable. The car can peg its 25 psi boost gauge at like 3K rpms.
Just hope you don't ever have to work on it.... My friend has a circa 2004 I think S4 and had to replace the stock turbos on it a while back. He literally had to disassemble the entire front clip of the car including part of the suspension I believe and/or pull the motor. It's a great car but you're in for a HUGE PITA if you ever have to do much substantial work on it yourself. That being said I would totally rock that. -Steve
I figured that... but then again... you do get to drive other peoples nice cars without having to blow all the money.. best of both worlds...
i dunno, i'd take that car in a heartbeat..... reliability? who cares, start modifying any car and the reliability drops
All Audi S4 after 2002 comes with a V8 engine with no turbo. The last 2.7 V6 with Bi-Turbo ends with the 2002 production run. You are correct about the removing the full front end and engine to get to the turbos. They're a pain to work with but rewarding when done proper. K04 FTW!
I'm not sure about the Anderson's S4 if they port it from a 2.7 to a 3.0 liter but stock engine are 2.7 and the most hp running K04's on a 2.7 pushes hp in the 400-500 range depending on tune up. If they did widen it to a 3.0... it could very well push near the 600-700 hp mention.
They must have taken the V6 3.0 liter none turbo and Frankenstein that engine up with a turbo and drop that into the S4 or ported the 2.7 into a 3.0 as I mention. Either way, it's still a bad ass format to gain mad HP. That's what I like about my car also... keeping it stock looking with a little beef to keep up with a few cars.
I would of never been able to tell just from looking at those pictures. I got to ride in one last fall at BIR. It didn't feel like it had much untell you pull up on someone and than leave them behind. I assume we will may see this car in May at BIR.
Its not the newer ****ty 3.0. Its a 2.7 punched out to a 3.0. It also has 2.8 heads that have been gone through.
I saw this car on the road today by my work (near Iroc's work too) and it looked pretty mean, sounded nice too! But yellow ftl.
Agree'd! But the speed3 had a K04 on it and I was very impressed with it, spooled very nice and made good power.
I recall a speed three in my rear view mirror. Also I have seen K04's on vw's and they are slow as crap.
K03, K03sport, and K04s are all a joke, any turbo inlet that can be clogged with a dime should not be on a car.
sick car. Bet its mean as hell. Not sure about those HP levels though, 700hp sounds kind of like an over-exageration to me.
agreed, 700 might be a bit much, but even my buddy's 2001 S4 with the popular RS4 converasion and K04 upgrades resulted in 400+ at the wheel and IIRC 450+ torque
hell no...besides beating the heck out of that thing at 150+...he truly babies it nowadays (maintance wise)
