ECS Tuning really hit the bullseye with the ECS Tuning Audi B9 S4 3.0T Valved Exhaust System. Crafted from T304 stainless steel and TIG welded, this non-resonated, full cat-back exhaust system delivered the race-inspired sounds I've been craving.
Today, I upgraded my S4 replacing the weak stock battery with a lightweight lithium solution from Antigravity. My car is heavily modified and I wanted da bit of a weight reduction. A light weight battery made sense more than removing the rear seats to reduce weight. Although the battery swap was straightforward, the car required adaptation coding to recognize the new battery, a process I performed using VCDS, as shown in the video.
I'm trying to get the Stage 3 videos out quickly for those following along and maybe working on their own build. Today I released my 034Motorsport Downpipe video which covers the full in-depth install of the catalyst. I'm going to have some audio clips coming soon as the next video will feature the ECS Tuning valved exhaust and sound comparison with the 034 catalyst combination. The install overall is time consuming, but not complicated.
This thing is absolutely massive and I'm sure flows very well. This inlet mates up perfectly with the P34, S34 and X34 intakes. It works for the B9 and B.95 S4 & S5 as well as the B9/B9.5 SQ5. The support turbos include the TTE710, TTE810, Pure750 and TS2. This huge inlet should flow very well for that big turbo! The installation is pretty straight forward, but may require a few small tools to reach the inlet fasteners.
Today I installed 034 Motorsport red top high output ignition coils and some fresh OEM NGK spark plugs gapped to 0.022". This setup will help support my Stage 3 build with the TTE710 Turbo. The ignition coils are supposed to provide higher output and aesthetics, and fresh plugs gapped down are a good idea for a hybrid turbo build. If your plugs and coils are getting a bit old, this is also a great option for you, but you don't need to gap the plugs down on a stock turbo.
The VADpro VAD28 device powered by CANchecked which has arrived in the North American market. This device offers support for up to 64 vehicle sensors that can be displayed in real time. The display is incredibly customizable and can be configured with custom screens, alerting and widgets. There is also an easy to access data logging facility which stores log files on the internal SD card. The data logs can be viewed over the USB plug with a laptop and the included Display Setup Software (DSS).
Today we'll be installing the 034 Motorsport High Pressure Fuel Pump Piston Upgrade Kit for the 2.9L and 3.0L EA839 engines. I'm going to be installing it in my 2018 B9 S4 as part of my Stage 3 build to support a larger hybrid turbo from The Turbo Engineers. You'll definitely want to stay tuned for the rest of this video series!
The 034Motorsport Street Density Transmission Mount is a performance upgrade for the factory transmission mount assembly. It replaces the factory mount's soft rubber damping medium with a high durometer rubber, which provides better support at higher power levels. This mount is a direct, drop-in replacement that limits unwanted transmission movement and improves performance. 034 also offers a billet aluminum Transmission Mount Insert that can be used with the upgraded mount to further improve performance. This insert fits into the large void in the factory transmission mount, limiting transmission movement without sacrificing ride quality or increasing NVH.
Soft99 Brake Dust Cleaner is a product that promises to remove brake dust from wheels. But does it really work? I put this cleaner to the test against the stubborn and excessive brake dust of my Audi S4. My car turns its wheels charcoal gray before it can chew through a tank of E85.
