My buddy Anthony joined me with his Unitronic - Stage 1+ tuned B9 S4 for a 1/4 mile comparison VS my Integrated Engineering - Stage 1 93 tuned B8 S4. This was one hell of a fun day launching a B9 S4 for the first time and finally seeing whether or not the new B9 S4 is quicker or faster than the B8 S4 is. Another massive thanks to Anthony for coming out and letting me test his ride. If you'd like to see more on Anthony's car you can check him out on Instagram @audi.b9.s4

A roll race would favour the B8 even more than a dig. That doesn't surprise me the B8 won. Instant torque vs building boost. Torque may be lower but it happens extremely quickly compared to a B9 which makes more peak torque but takes longer to get there.

I drove a b9 s4 and immediately hopped in a 340i rwd, both auto. The s4 felt like it was on another league in every way, the transmission was smoother, steering feeback and precision was much better in dynamic, the ride was better, and the engine felt more dramatic. It just felt more refined. The only pro of the 340 was the better rear seat room, which is important to me. But I'm between the b8/8.5 and the 340i. I don't know how the b8 compares to the b9 in those areas, and aftermarket support/maintenance is also a factor too.

Really cool to see how horsepower vs torque affects quarter mile ETs and MPHs. Given a half mile, or a 60-130 run, your B8 would likely start pulling away. Wonder if a future TCU tune will make a difference for the B9's 0-60 and MPH too.

The MPH proves what the dyno showed, that the B8 is making more HP. The torque gets them moving off the line but HP pulls it through the traps at the 1/4 mile. 11.85 1/4 mile is very impressive. Considering the B6 and B7 V8 S4's with a tune and exhaust can't get out of the 13's. Even with more displacement and more HP stock, the improved transmissions and forced induction V6's are a better choice for performance.

I peak at 24.5-25psi in 4th gear on E30, but can only make around 20.5-21psi on 93 without pulling timing. Not sure how much boost the Unitronic is rated for, but I’d imagine it’s something similar

@@reecemcdaniel7675 I'd be more interested with your timing advance using an E30 tune with JB4 than a 93 tune from Uni.

We all know the true performer in the Audi line up is the B5 S4. Smaller car, lighter car vs B9. Run one that has been tuned to stage 3!! That B9 S4 will be smoked. When it comes to forced induction turbo>supercharging!! Nice video.

[@VancityAudi]

If you think that the B5 S4 is the true performer in the Audi lineup I think you need professional help, lol.... Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion

[@LWRC]

@@VancityAudi You might want to go to a B5 forum and ask those guys. I have both cars and the B8 is not in the same league as the B5. Not even close. I don't know what is needed to make the B8 perform at the same level as the B5 but it isn't worth the time nor $$. B8 is just a heavier car to begin with and you need a lot more HP to overcome that. Go ahead an run a few B5s and see what happens. The fact of the matter is turbocharging is just more efficient than supercharging and there is no way you can get around that!!

[@VancityAudi]

A forum created and made for the owners of the specific car in question probably isn't the best place to get an unbiased opinion from, haha. An RS3 or TTRS will smash a B5 S4 in a drag race and is MUCH less likely to break down. I have seen and heard of some very fast B5 S4's, don't get me wrong. But in terms of cars in the Audi line up that are true performers I'd also put anything with a 4.0TT V8 ahead of a B5 S4 as well, like an RS7. Even with all its weight you're still able to run low 10's in one of those beasts where as Stage 3 B5's at it's very best is a mid to high 10 second car. Just my opinion of course and we're all entitled to one of those, just like you are, haha.

[@LWRC]

[@MrWilburlandaverde]

[@Poopeepooo123]

just by looking at that dyno chart. you already know which car is faster. the car which make power to redline and doesn't drop off will win. the b8 just needs a better launch with no spin.

[@VancityAudi]

Sadly just by looking at a dyno graph means squat when determining who will win in a 1/4 mile drag race. Weight, traction, unsprung rotational mass all play a bit part in drag racing and what makes a car quick & fast.

[@tmtoplak222]

Thought stage 1 would put you closer to 375-380 torque and 425-445hp in the b8.5.

[@VancityAudi]

The numbers I show are at the wheels, not at the crank like you are stating. You need to add a minimum 15% to account for the drivetrain loss.

That doesn't seem to be the case. Upon a quick search, the DL501 DSG transmission found in the B8 weighs more or roughly the same as the ZF8 auto that comes in the B9.

The weight/size difference of the wheels alone is hilarious. I will never understand why people put 20s on something they want to go fast. Unsprung weight is the enemy.

The owner of this particular B9 is just an everyday guy that enjoys his car. It's not all about performance for him. Unlike me, that always builds my cars with performance in mind and looks second
