Ashes to Asphalt - The Tale of the 034Motorsport B9 Audi S4 Built in 24 Hours

[@StreetRyde]

I just want to thank 034 for the support they showed me and are continuing to show me when I lost my S5 the same way they lost their S4. They help me figure out the issue and help me with locating my new S5. STAND UP COMPANY!

[@sebastianlorenzo4935]

This is why I love 034. The real talk. Forever a customer.

[@034motorsport]

Thank you for your support! Transparency is key!

[@Need4Built]

It was an honor joining you all on the drag strip with my SQ5, and seeing the new B9 S4 running a 10.0 within 24 hours of it being dead stock. I was horrified to hear about Phoenix burning down. Props to the entire 034 team on taking a horrible situation and turning it 180 degrees around. Just goes to show how hard they are willing to work to make things happen. Either that being in the tuning, hardware, or marketing departments, they will put in the effort above and beyond. Good work guys. See you in the 9’s.

[@034motorsport]

Was great having you there too, thanks for the support!

[@Vaguh]

It’s amazing that you were able to build a replacement that quickly. I love how you guys turned a negative situation into a positive outcome. It just shows how quickly you can turn a b9 into a 9 second car! I appreciate you doing a video like this. People forget that making power creates potential for setbacks. It’s just part of tuning. Thanks again!

[@034motorsport]

Thank you for recognizing and appreciating the effort, yes it's an exciting time!

[@VancityAudi]

Regardless of our differences in the past, I don't wish anyone to lose their vehicle the way you guys lost yours. Congrats on the success with the new test car. I'm sure we'll see it deeper and deeper in the 9's soon enough. With any luck I'll be right there with ya.

[@034motorsport]

Thank you, Adam. We wish you good luck with your car and progression as well.

[@theadamdude445]

This felt like a VINWiki episode, what an awesome story! More of these!!! Just… not involving any car fires 😂

[@IMPORTEKNIKA]

Absolutely phenomenal! Through the years, I've seen 034Motorsport inspire, innovate and imagine. Pushing far beyond limits, boundaries and possibilities. You all truly understand and wholeheartedly believe in what can be achieved through hard work, dedication and commitment. You've supported and encouraged others through challenging times including my own company's need for PPE during the worst of Covid and "Ashes to Asphalt" is yet another example of 034Motorsport turning buckets of lemons to jugs of race fuel. I know that when I invest in 034Motorsport, I am supporting folks who are not only passionate about its work, but genuinely care about its relationships with communities and enthusiasts globally. Kudos and thank you 034Motorsport for all that you do! I'm immensely proud to represent Team 034! 🏎💨🏁

[@karstgeo7290]

Great story! Glad I've got some 034 kit on my car.

[@easterislandstatue4059]

This made me walk out to my B9 S4 and check my oil cap to see if it was loose. It's solid. I did recently replace my PVC valve because that is what actually leaks.

[@SquashPile]

Same.. I was in the garage on the treadmill and thought I smelled something. I came back inside and this was the first YT vid after the treadmill. 15 seconds in I paused and went back to my garage lol.

[@GOOGLM3_NY]

This is the answer. Blow by making it past. Motor runs in vacuum. Pressurize the crankcase... I banged my head against a wall for a month trying to figure out what in the hell. A quality smoke machine is worth its weight in gold.

[@DekiaryCarter]

This reminded me of Porsche’s Journey to LeMans series. Ups and downs but you and the team came out strong. Keep up the great content.

[@johnrobinson9684]

Great story!!! I have your stage 2+, with 179mm crank pulley, ECU and TCU tune in MY12 A6. Love both of them. Keep on doing what you do best!!!!

[@034motorsport]

Right on!

[@ucisigma]

Way to go 034! Love the content and products you provide to the B9 community. Installed your sister company’s PCV/Catch Can combo to mitigate this issue after replacing my oem cap and hose. Racingline’s solution seems to be a good option for the time being.

[@034motorsport]

Thank you for the support!

[@nicknalu395]

034 being a top notch company as always. It is my pleasure to have 034 products on my B9 S4 and this only makes me feel better. Love you guys and what you do for us!

[@034motorsport]

We appreciate the kind words!

[@liamsquire6371]

this gets me so excited for my tt810 soo close to having all the parts. Also 034 is the BEST tuning company i have ever worked with fast replies helpful staff great community you guys are seriously the best can't wait to see whats next!

Such a cool story. Huge props!

Nice work y'all! A well done bit to document something that shattered dreams, but turned out creating new ones and making them reality. A truly classy company, proud to have 034 software on my B9! Gotta go check my oil cap now tho BRB

[@034motorsport]

We appreciate your support!

[@srlbeln]

Feeling lucky to have avoid a fire myself when my own oil cap blew off due to the PVC valve getting clogged. Definitely looking forward to how 034 solves this problem and glad everyone is safe!

[@fishbone470]

You guys are the best!! Love your products! Keep up the great work!!

[@gkott78]

Failed PCV? Out of an abundance of caution I just ordered a new PCV for my B9 SQ5 after I saw a video story of someone losing their Stage 3 S5 in a similar fashion. Well done on the replacement build!!!

[@034motorsport]

Correct Gary, glad you're aware of the issue, and thanks for the kind words!

[@SuitedUp2The9s]

Such a great video highlighting this journey of the pheonix. This is a great mark of an even greater organization to take this horrible turn of fate and turn it into a success story! So glad to hear the driver on Tuesday night was ok! It was really cool to hear Javad say friends and the faces that were shown even outside of all of the departments within 034 was really marvelous to see! Big props ladies and gents! Cheers!

[@034motorsport]

Thank you so much!

[@garrettjoseph3500]

Badass , I’d like to see more build videos like this , possibly b8.5?

Rock on ! Turning a perceived Liability to an Asset is the core to solid engineering and fantastic business leadership. I’m almost inspired to rapid prototype to the oil cap issues, whip up a 3d model and print it in PA12-CF. You guys should hold competitions for parts engineering lol

Solid story and great committment and passion from the team, I need to know - why is your company called 034Motorsport? What's the back story? I only have one 034 part on my car so far, but I will surely buy more based on the R&D you guys have done!

We will work on releasing something in the coming few months, for the time being check the factory hose and be sure the check valve is functioning.

[@jshaw1552]

Where is the the P34 intake for the SQ5???,

[@034motorsport]

We are not developing a P34 for the SQ5 at this time. While we'd love to offer a plastic version of the X34 intake system, the mold fees involved would land the intake near the price of the X34 system. We are developing a sub $400 intake system that will be a competitive option! This will utilize a massive filter and a carbon fiber heat shield!

[@jshaw1552]

@034Motorsport I wish it was a air box ...but I'll trust the process

[@Kiss__Kiss]

So with the oil cap issue, how was it resolved? Unless I missed it, I wish that would have been mentioned within the video.

[@034motorsport]

It’s not 100% resolved, at the time of the filling I’d the video we didn’t fully understand it but it now appears to be an issue with a failed factory PCV check valve that pressurizes the crankcase, first step is to check the factory hose to ensure it hasn’t failed, see our Live #139 where we discuss this more.

[@Kiss__Kiss]

@@034motorsport Right. Is that something 034 will future proof? or will you be selling RacingLine's PCV? Since you already sell some of their products? PS: Thanks for your reply.

What rpm do u launch the car ?

[@034motorsport]

The RPM varies based on whatever is required to build the requested torque.

[@vivanbhathena999]

what timeis the s5 doing

[@034motorsport]

Our RS5 ran a 9.9 that day, we have a video of that here on the channel, check it out 👍🏼

[@austin144]

What kind of wheels and tires are you using? I want to get the same setup but not have to downgrade on brake size

[@034motorsport]

For the drag strip runs, Enkei RPF1 17x8 wheels wrapped in 225/40/17 Hoosier DR2 tires. This required some shaving of the factory front calipers to ensure proper clearance.

Did you fire the guy that burned the s4?

[@034motorsport]

No, but we have him a hug for not dying
