FOR SALE RS6+ (34/999)

Are the turbo's not under a lot of stress though ? surely they will go bang at some point ??

[Mr V10]

It has uprated Turbos by Loba they go upto 650 BHP, not standard ones.

[sweegie]

Getting high torque outputs from the turbos puts different stresses on them than top end bhp - max torque will be in the mid rpm zone where the turbos can flow well at huge pressure ratios, for relatively little spin rates. This high pressure ratio that puts a lot of load on the turbos thrust bearing, which can indeed go bang.

It's likely that the Loba turbos on Amandas car have very good thrust bearings, hence running the high pressures in the midrance & high torque figures

she also has different cam's

Indeed it probably does, being Loba's no doubt. However, I'm going to go out on a very green, shaky and narrow bamboo shoot limb to say this: "What happens when a car with a slipping slushbox is dyno'd?"

[Shoppinit]

Depends on why it's slipping. If it's slipping because the clutch drums are screwed then not all the power is being transferred from one gear to the other. If it's slipping because your TC is toast then it depends on what's wrong with the TC. If it's the lock-up clutch then it shouldn't make any difference because your TC won't lock under WOT anyway, which is what you'd be dynoing at.

[bam_bam]

So the dyno sheet should have a lower or higher torque number? I know logic should state that it would be lower due to slippage, but dyno's can be confused/confusing in how they measure torque.

[Shoppinit]

Could be either depending on what is slipping. The torque multiplication phenomenon that is induced by the TC only adds to the confusion. I believe this is why so many RS6 display such high torque numbers. Until the impellor and stator are almost at the same speed, there will be some kind of torque multiplication going on. Slushboxes are black magic, I tell thee.

After taking a deposit last week for a sale price of £16,500 and giving the buyer 3 days to clear balance.
He has been a no show!! Despite numerous attempts to contact him.Therfore car is now reduced to £16,500...

[cfcdoc]

Maybe the avants are more expensive to insure because they are so much better?

Indeed and Direct Line arent stupid either, they tripled it when they heard I bought a mugello..fastest colour and they knew it...bobbing rastards..

you aren't interested in a swap by any chance for a non plus mugello

[Malcolmx92]

Would love to swap for another Mugello but would have to be a C6...but not in the current climate....

Thanks any way cfcdoc

[Malcolmx92]

Now fitted with new Alternator from local Audi dealer...
