B5 S4, operation money pit. Forever evolving, never ending.

[DER E30]

I know a certain Vette I would like to take down on the way.

Easy kill! And its even remotely wet out, forgetaabboutit

[Exodus_2pt0]

55# Bosch Ev14 injectors


RS4 inlets and SRM bipipes with methanol bungs


Devils own pump/check valve/ progressive controller. The nozzles and other lines escaped through the hole in the box. Luckily the expensive stuff made it! Not going to sweat the small things. Should only be about $75 to complete.


And, the money shot. Will need to clean them up, but they feel good.


Just need a timing belt kit, turbo install kit, and some various gaskets I'll be replacing while I'm in there. I'd like to have this done before I go to the beach in August. I know a certain Vette I would like to take down on the way.

[Exodus_2pt0]

Ruh roh. Wife just sent me this. More details tonight.

[Exodus_2pt0]

Small thing, but figured I'd share anyway.

Harness for boost gauge. Not going to allow for any wiring issues.

[Exodus_2pt0]

RIP your wallet.

Total cost so far <$1600

Turbos, meth, rs4 inlets, injectors are all on their way and included in that cost. This kit is about ready.

I'm patient, keep snagging deals.

[HennaE30]

I'm between one of these and an E46 M3... I'm really excited to see where the car goes. Subbed.

RIP your wallet.

Thinking I'm going to run a stock s4/rs4 plate though and just not launch it.

Oh yes, and I have decided a GoPro will be a mandatory part of this build.

[bmwstudent]

I was behind one of these on the way home, killer exhaust note!

[Exodus_2pt0]

Inlets will be on their way as well. That wraps it up!

F21 turbo's, check.
RS4 Inlets, check.
52lb bosch fuel injectors, check.
Methanol injection dual nozzle kit, check.
Lightweight flywheel, check.
6 puck clutch, check.
RS4 Pressure plate, check.

So now it's just odds and ends. Need to order a turbo install kit from ECS, and my wife is buying me a timing belt kit for my birthday.


Icing on the cake, is I get 2 paid days off for finishing all of our Grainger online training. I'm thinking a 4 day weekend is in order, with plenty of beer for myself and a friend or two or three.

[Joe G]

Awesome. They are silly fun cars when there is that much power in the mix. Just wait until it snows.

[Exodus_2pt0]

F21's, Devils own methanol already setup for the car, 52lb injectors, aasco single mass flywheel, rs4 pressure plate and 6 puck clutch. All of those are on the way or will be shortly.

The best part? It has all cost me <$1600. PP and clutch are brand new, flywheel has been rebuilt by aasco with new bearing and friction surface.

Also, I will have a lift and fully equipped shop to do the work in. Fuck yes I'm excited. Going to wait until my timing belt is due then go all out.

Will be keeping the stock cat back and side mount intercoolers now, shooting for ~350whp, then once those last two items are taken care of 400whp should be cake.

[Exodus_2pt0]

Frankenturbo f21's and methanol. One turbo needs a rebuild but the CHRA's are only $225. The turbos and meth are still being pulled from the car but all items are paid for, just waiting. Hopefully the exhaust housing isn't too damaged on the bad one.

[Exodus_2pt0]

No apology necessary, if you read through this thread I have been far from immune to its potential problems.

Still love it though!

And I can't say what's in the works until the items have shipped. Don't want to jynx it.

[jink0619]

I've owned one of these, I remember right after I paid for it, friend says to me "Congrats on buying one of the most unreliable car" At the time I was thinking...HATER!!! Lol but as time went by I truly understand why smh. Very nice car when it works tho, just have money ready.

Sorry for being negative GL
