So the last few days I have been on an OWWDEE binge. I'm friends with Jordan Price, owner of mnaudi.com. He is buddies with a guy named Tony, who owns a company named EPL (European Performance Labs) based out of CT. Tony flies all over the country doing flash tuning on S4's and turbo porsches.
Starting wednesday night, I was at an undisclosed location in Minneapolis wrenching on OWWDEES, and then at DB dyno tuning them. What a blast, but what a PITA these cars are! I installed an Aquamist HFS-1 (alky injection system) in a car that has one of the first TiAL dual GT28RS kits to hit the market, and some nasty SMIC's in another S4 with some hybrid K04/RS6 hybrid turbos on it.
I get what these guys are doing, and I am helping them, but now I need your help. They are building an army of fast OWWDEES to prowl the streets of the twin cities. We need to step up our game boys, they are making some DAMN good power.
A few figures. All cars had these ER SMIC's installed, which are very efficient. One car with Standard K04's made 350whp on DB's DD dyno. These are off of an RS4, euro model...
Next car, K04/RS6 hybrid turbos, made ~370whp w/ a slipping clutch.
Next car, RS6 turbos (off an OWWDEE RS6, get it?) made 422whp
All these cars were on pump gas, and these are basically oem components fit onto the S4. The RS6 car is basically on the verge of needing the bottom end built.
Lastly, the thing I wasted soooo much time on, a guy named Ben's S4 with TiAL GT28RS's on it. Spooled at like 4500rpms, with alky, the car made 422whp with boost tapering to ~22psi at redline. These things are capable of pushing 35psi or so, and the bottom-end is built, but we had troubles with the wastgate actuators being too loose. Just adjust them, right? HAH! Almost impossible w/o taking the motor half-out, these things are so crammed. Glad I don't own one! ;D
So why a binge you say? Weds: 7pm-2am, Thurs: 8pm-4am, Fri: 9am-2am, and Sat 10am-10pm. Long days, LOTS of problems, and lots of reasons for me to love my evo, and LOTS of reasons to spur us all into building OWWDEE KILLERS!
Now go forth my friends, build your cars faster :)
Also, I got a ride in the new v10 M5. Freaking sweet! Similar tranny to Anna's car, but sucky auto mode.
