RS6 audi

saturday afternoon i was completely hammered by a RS6 54 reg , how quick are these things? cause he was a good 4 cars length ahead of me when accelarating from about 55mph, i did manage to gain on him slightly everytime the 2nd kicked in..baring in mind im still stock (not for long)

pretty quick....

443 bhp according to parkers!

I had one of these on my arse on the M25 so put my foot down but still on my bumper until I 2nd turbo come online and I started to pull away. and I am BPU++ with HKS cams. so they are bloody quick.

excuse my ignorance but what's BPU?

BPU - Be ready to piss all over you.

440-500bhp from de-cat, exhaust and 1.2bar boost?????

From the very start I see 'bring your own salt' warnings flashing:

I. Downpipe. The downpipe replaces the factory CATS and allows for quicker turbo spooling and 1-2 psi of boost increase. Good for around 35-40 HP.

That's a lot of bhp/psi increase, no wonder this guy tries to trademark 'BPU'

III. Elevated Boost (17-18psi+). The major gain in HP and torque (up to 440rwhp and 410 ft.lbs of torque to the wheels)

I can't even begin to imagine the sort of 'flywheel' figures they'll be quoting to punters after applying all sorts of 'adjustments' to the above 'wheel' figures.

Amusing

yeah that website is cr*p. just a reference for what mods are changed for BPU etc.

Dont forget they are quoteing form the Export US spec model, with the Steel turbos and Higher lift cams, so yes, it will peak ataround 450 quite easily.

I think it's moer the fact they're quoting the US bhp which is roughly double ours

Double!!! 334 and were 280!!!!

Sorry I forgot to turn sarcasm off. Also 334 US spec and 280 Jap spec is false

US cars were more like 320bhp, except that all Supes make around that anyway. And BPU won't get you more than around 400bhp max.

FALSE!

I have been dynoed at 442 with Jspec injectors and stock ECU (SAFCII). Powerstation's dyno. J-Spec turbos.

What was your at the wheels figure? Because that seems very high for a BPU power figure.

With what mods? Why are you using SAFCII with stock injectors?

360 at the hubs for me at 17psi, give it 9% tranny loss (from the hubs) is about 395bhp. Wouldn't want to run more than 1.2bar on standard japs so probably not more than 400bhp.

US cars were more like 320bhp,....

yep, quite similar spec to the Euro cars, that are rated at 326 because of the (then) availability of higher-octane fuel (compared to the US)

In that case it's nice to know that mine can do around 440 at the wheels running 17odd psi. Accounting for transmision losses and various barometric&capricious factors they might estimate it at well over 500Hp, don't you agree? Nice one.

Lol @ JohnA

instead of laughing you could try to be a bit 'noice' and up my bhp estimates.

Oh sorry... well clearly, with an atmospheric air particulate density phenomenon, as can often be found in the UK, along with a regional temperature abnormality and volumetric pressure ratios exceeding a volume of 1.2 per thousand, I reckon you could be pushing out an easy 550bhp, 600 if the dyno operator likes you, if you know what I mean

...that's better.

Beer attachment sent.

At brunters, I trapped 153mph, an RS6 trapped 168mph, over 1.5 miles iirc.
