How quick is a tuned RS4? 0-100mph?

Was just reading the RS6 forums and a fellow who just got his C5 RS6 back from Grizz for a remap, exhaust and suspension bits measured his car on GPS: 0-60mph 4.1s 0-100mph 8.9s 30-50mph 1.4s 50-70mph 1.9s I would like to ask how would a tuned B5 RS4 compare? Maybe if it had remap, gutted precats+de...

'manual' rs6

hello,
Anyone heard of a manual converted RS6? Or at least a RS6 engine mated to a manual transmission?

Just look how far to the right the power curve is for that 1.8l... It's just like those 1000hp supras that has only 1000rpm of power range. Of course, here's MRC 3.0l vs the ultimate torque monster... twin turbo V12! http://www.dyno-plot.co.uk/dyno/dynoplot/id%3D538_271%26sort%3Dpow%26but_sea%3Dqs/i...

http://www.dyno-plot.co.uk/dyno/dynoplo ... /index.htm

Here's a comparison plot of 3 600hp cars:
MRC tuned RS4 2.6l
Nissan skyline RB30 3.0l
Toyota Supra 3.0l

The rs4 just monsters the others in midrange torque and hp. It has lots more hp from 2500 rpm to 5250 rpm.

Why RS4 has mega midrange?

Had a quick play on the dynoplot website.

The RS4 graph has such a huge midrange hp and torque ie around 3000-6000rpm.... compared to similar peak power engines eg. S4, and even bigger displacement eg. nissan rb30 and toyota supra 3.0l.

what design by cosworth made this possible?

There is from us, as well as from possibly other sources. Oh and the 700+ hp is nothing yet :lol: What kind of engine is the 3.0? Is it 2.7 engine 'enlarged' to 3.0 like usually done in Japanese cars? Sorry for my ignorance. The dynoplot website is very interesting for the 3.0 because the torque cu...

There is a dynoplot on the dynoplot website showing a 3.0l RS4 making 700+hp.

The torque curve is very impressive.

But the 3.0l puzzled me as I didn't know there was a 3.0 engine?? :?:

That's a whole novel! :lol:

Anyway from what I see, viperbl's practically built it all again.

Turbos are Garrett gt.

edit: with built internals... big pics of Pauter rods in there.

Re: Tell me about 600hp RS4s, esp. Lucas' one

Been watching Doug's videos on Youtube. There's a few vids of 600hp RS4s... One doing 202mph with 3 people in the car :shock: Do they all run RS6 turbos? I know they all need big fuel pump and injectors, FMIC, downpipe and cats...but are they all on standard 'internals'? 550hp seems the max for sta...

Jimbo, if memory serves, your car was remapped to run 20-22 psi at redline, yet on your graphs I can just see it going under 1.4 bar above 5500 RPM... so that could explain your low power numbers...on the other hand, I have a few dyno sheets of cars that did in the 600s on RS6 turbos, and not just ...

I've dug out an earlier post from ZeroK66 re: circa 600hp. FMIC - £800ish Tubular manifolds - £1500-2k RS6 Turbos - £3k Remap - £500-800? Labour - 2kish? Injectors and pump - £500-700? Custom Exhaust - £1.5-2k These prices seem pretty much current. Anyone know where some savings can be had? Can the ...
