Audi Tuning | VW Tuning

Completion of Jon’s “RS4 Conversion” project is in sight, with the VF Engineering supercharger kit installed and the car running. Over the next few days we will be doing some data-logging for VF to make sure everything is running as it should. Some other minor tweaks are being worked out and then Jon should be ready to drive this to his new home in Santa Clara, CA.

The stock intake manifold is completely replaced with the roots type MP90 Eaton supercharger, mounted with VF’s in-house CNC machined aluminum bracket system. The unit is positioned in line with the original serpentine belt which is replaced with a longer OEM belt. The key to this design is that the OEM active-spring belt tensioner remains fully functional and eliminates belt slip or the need to manually tension the belt.

While we ran into a few small snags during the installation process, over-all we are very happy and impressed with the quality of the parts included in the kit, and from the support we’ve received from VF Engineering.

An order was also just placed to Status Racing for a set of carbon kevlar backed Ring seats which come with FIA approval since Jon intends to track this car regularly. We’ll see if we’ll have this ready for Son of Quattrofest!

Wrapping things up as I type this. Details to come very soon.

Jon continues to accumulate parts for his “RS4-Conversion” project. With a huge exterior transformation and interior upgrade behind him, the B6 S4′s power train will now get some much-deserved attention!

Details about the build will be shared once we begin work in the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, we’ll continue drooling over these parts…

Jon and I went up to JMI to pick up his S4 now that the majority of the exterior work is complete. Jon’s 2004 Audi S4 has been completely transformed and now takes on the shape of the B7 Audi RS4. This transformation took on the look of the bull-dog-stanced, newer generation Audi RS4 by replacing both front and rear fenders, front and rear bumpers, all-4 doors, hood, trunk, headlights, and tail lights – all of which can ordered right over your local Audi parts counter. Much credit goes to JMI for an incredible job making everything fit right!

This close-up picture of the front bumper shows careful, clean integration of S6 LED driving lights on the B7 Audi RS4 front bumper.

H&R wheel adapters allow Jon to fit the Porsche-fitment Work VS-XXs he picked up at a steal.

Front bumper installed and fits nicely!

Jon also has a set of 18×10 Volk Racing Wheels he intends to run both front and back, and having the car on the lift made test-fitting that much easier. Clearance is going to be super tight back behind the wheel up front but we’re happy to see it’s going to work!

Despite it’s “almost finished” appearance, there’s still plenty to do to complete what Jon has in store for this incredible project. Alcon big brakes are next and some tires are enroute for the Volks. There’s even a new surprise planned for under the hood… We’ll of course keep you posted.
