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

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.

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

[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.

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

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.

RIP your wallet.

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

[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.

[Exodus_2pt0]

Small thing, but figured I'd share anyway.

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

[Exodus_2pt0]

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

[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.

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

Easy kill! And its even remotely wet out, forgetaabboutit

Finally got the boost guage installed tonight, and confirmed that I'm running 19psi in low rpms. My logs have told me this, but I wasn't sure.

According to the internet, my k03's should have died months ago. Kind of makes me want to install the methanol, crank the boost and see what happens. Also, tried launch control for the first time a few days ago, and I was pleased to find my stock clutch held great.

It's funny how brave one gets when they have a room full of parts and just need an excuse to install them all.

I'll snag a video of some launches...

How the car currently stands.

[Exodus_2pt0]

Long time customer here...

Moar parts!



That's it for a little while, still need to complete the methanol kit and order a turbo install kit along with some gaskets.

So, like you, I've wanted one of these ever since I was able to distinguish between cars. I must've been 6 years old when I first saw this car and instantly fell in love. Utter dream car for me here, and I've had my fair share of decent cars, (2004 R32, 91' 318is, 89' GTI, and now 14' fiestaST) but still I itch to get into a B5S4.

Keep the updates coming! Looks great.
