Re: Before and after remap

Throttle response seems sharper, it's the torque that has made the real difference for me, and seems to rev harder past 5k rpm. More fun and testing yet. Yes will try a dyno run at MRC for comparison as well. PS how do upload a video .mov file to this site? Sounding better and better to me. I'll ke...

Re: Before and after remap

From what I have heard and from having a dyno done some years ago on my old B7 RS4 I think it hard to get accurate figures. My B7 showed only 203 KW (272hp) at the wheels ! I guess in an ideal world it would be necessary to do all the runs back to back on the same day to get a fair comparison. Have...

Re: Photos of my RS4 B8 on H&R Springs/Spacers

Now that makes a lot of sense!

Maybe 10 mm and 12 mm might be safer.

Re: Photos of my RS4 B8 on H&R Springs/Spacers

Thought i'd share these with you. The setup is, H&R Lowering springs that are made for the RS4 with the DRC option. Plus 24mm front H&R Spacers, and 30mm Rears. The car is sitting nicely but with this setup, there is a bit of rubbing upfront when cornering hard and coming down from a speed bump, wh...

Re: Collect the RS4 this week

SWRS4 - I guess to change the front bumper needs to come off ?? May, just undo 2 torx screws and the std number plate holder undoes and I then lined up the holes in the front grill and drilled the Lakin plate ( powder coated aluminium) and mounted it directly in place of the larger plate holder. Ma...

Re: Collect the RS4 this week

Just FYI, if the size difference between your front plate & the mount irritate you, there is a smaller unit available through the dealers. I've seen it on the spares system. Nice car though. Got one fitted on mine - but not OEM - it's a LAKIN. Nice pice of work and it's exact same size as number pl...

Re: Anyone planning on upgrades to their b8

No it's a standard Map to work on the car as standard, and then if you choose a full exhaust system they can map it to that exhaust, if your just replacing the rear box then the standard map is fine. I asked them to take it off, as been having issues with random Throttle response (revving to 1500-2...

Re: Anyone planning on upgrades to their b8

Thanks for the response N7BSE, Look forward to seeing the before and after plots. Could I ask why you had it removed? Also do you know if its a custom map for the Akropovic exhaust? I was thinking of going Milltek, which is about 40% of the price, if I had the spare coin would prob go Akropovic. We ...

Re: Anyone planning on upgrades to their b8

Hey Marz, You looking into exhaust and ecu remap options? Yep sure am. Akrakpovic and APR is my preference, but i would like to know a bit more about this DMS remap. Looks like DNA performance, in Burwood, i think? might be the place to get it all done. Nearly, I'm on the other side of town, but is...

Re: Anyone planning on upgrades to their b8

I have had a DMS remap, and Akropovic full exhaust system fitted. Just ordered KW3's and some spacers. Getting my wheels changed to a different colour, am still keen to change them to Bentley GTC 20" 3 piece rims but unsure at this stage. I do like the look for the supercharger kit but again the ca...
