Now that the car has been tuned with ‪@IEtuned‬ Stage 1 91 & 93 octane tunes I needed to put them to the test! I headed out to the back roads of Mexico to do a few 1/4 mile runs and see just how fast my 2018 Audi S4 really is now! In order to make an accurate comparison I detuned my car back to a stock power level. Then I proceeded to ramp up the power with their Stage 1 91 and then their Stage 1 93 tunes. I paired them with Integrated Engineering's Aggressive Launch TCU tune as well to get the most out of the car. Boy, oh boy, this car is gonna be FUN!!!

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@thatnext7326]

yessir cant wait for more build videozzzzz!!!

[@96ej]

Excellent video! As far as I know you kind of want the transmission to shift hard because a smooth shift usually means more heat in the transmission.

[@VancityAudi]

Doesn't have anything to due with more heat. You don't want a drop in acceleration on gear changes so the ZF8 automatic drives through the shifts.

[@ThesGt]

hey man love your videos, i have the same car, even the color lol im going for the stage 1 tune from IE thanks for the review. I wonder why you havent change the intercooler yet? most of what i have read from other S4 and S5 owners is that the stock intercooler is a must to be upgraded, i have read very good comments from users that have made the change as well, try it out! IE also have the upgrade :) cheers!

[@VancityAudi]

Thanks for watching! I haven't upgraded my intercooler yet because I try and upgrade one piece of hardware or one type of software at a time. That way I am able to see how much of a difference they actually make. The intercooler upgrade is coming to the channel soon!

[@ThesGt]

@@VancityAudi great!! cant wait, subscribed!

[@headshotharry2313]

Idk if you just had a tune or a intercooler. Intercooler is a MUST on the b9, literally you are getting heak soak by the top of 3rd gear from a launch its insane. The power comes on so much different with a big juicy FMIC and intake.

[@VancityAudi]

I state multiple times in the video that I had no bolt on parts installed. I am very aware that my IAT's SUCK, lol. I logged all of my runs and could see a ton of timing being pulled because my IAT's were too high.

Surprised how good the B9’s exhaust system sounds stock !! With that said do you remember what your 93 IE tune did on your B8 S4?

[@VancityAudi]

I do! Full bolt on, Stage 1 93 I ran an absolute best of 11.80.

[@MeatloafMelvin]

Man, I need to get to a better location and try times again. On 034 stage 2 ECU and stage 1 TCU (034 doesn't have stage 2 tcu for the 9.5 platform yet) with intake, turbo inlet, intercooler, catless downpipe, and awe track exhaust im only managing a 4.1 0-60 (3.9 with 1') at 78 degrees, 2000 feet elevation and a DA of 4000-4500.

[@scottc78]

Now that's a proper family hauler. Makes me wonder how much better of a 60'/ET you might get from the Race launch. Might be worth testing separately.

[@VancityAudi]

I was hoping to test out the differences in the launches at a higher power level. I might just test the race launch on the 93 file and make a post about the results on IG/FB.

[@scottc78]

@@VancityAudi I know the Unitronic TCU tune for my RS3 has a more aggressive track launch file too, but I've never tried it. Figured it was too much for Michelin PS4S tires on the street

[@VancityAudi]

@@scottc78 on the track your car should be able to handle the 3800rpm launch with a lower boost psi. On the street you'd want to use the 3500rpm launch.

[@VancityAudi]

Well considering I chose Integrated Engineering to tune mine you'd think that would answer your question, lol.

[@darrinscoilsclouds1498]

Have any tunes that you have tested have rolling anti-lag and launching control? I’m looking for a tune for my B9.5 s4 with rolling anti-lag and lunch control.

Hey bro I've just bought the 6 speed manual ... Are the quarter mile times a major difference from the dsg

[@VancityAudi]

MASSIVE difference. First off it isn't a DSG. It's a ZF8 Auto. Secondly, no manual car will ever be shifted as fast as an auto can shift so your ET will be MUCH slower than the Auto.

[@norbertovazquez1173]

Hey man quick question, with the stage 1 93 octane tune how would you say reliability is? Considering 100 horsepower more and +100 torque. The car in question is a 23 S4 daily driven and just wanna be sure it’ll last a while.

[@VancityAudi]

We've seen failures on tuned B9 S4s, but most of them are all '18's and '19's. I haven't heard of any 2023's failing yet, so I'd say you're pretty darn safe. Make sure to use promo code VANCITYAUDI for a discount at performancebyie.com/?dt_id=312953

[@MeatloafMelvin]

@@awhs5435 Not possible. No B9 or B9.5 platform is running 10s with 2 bolt ons and a tune on pump gas. 034 Motorsport was the first to have the car in the 10s and it was Stage 2, FBO, E85 and 220 pounds of weight reduction. B9 platform is not capable of running 10s with stock turbo and FBO without weight reduction. If he had a Hybrid turbo I'd be slightly more likely to bite that.

[@henrycervantezzz5566]

How much boost will it let you build in Street launch mode? I couldn't get past about 20-25 percent and it wouldn't let me rev past about 3k. Stage 1 93 octane ecu stage 2 street launch. Thanks bud. Only managed a 4.0 , 0-60with 93. All stock hardware no weight reduction.

[@VancityAudi]

I never logged the Street launch to see. It is much too low in my opinion though. With a decent set of tires you need to use the Aggressive launch at the lowest. I prefer to use the Race launch and then not build all the boost you can for the most effective launch

how did you get the agressive launch option? I don’t have that when I installed my tune?

[@VancityAudi]

First off, did you buy a TCU as well? If so, you'd see that option when tuning your transmission and not your engine. If you don't see it, I'd reach out to IE.

[@andytran-ry7yc]

@@VancityAudi yeah i got the tcu as well

You have to buy the TCU tuning to access all of the different files.

[@henrycervantezzz5566]

@@VancityAudi great thanks, would you buy the TCU tune if you only plan to flash stage 1 and don't care about ever putting into launch mode? I really just want the extra power for everyday commuting/driving. Don't see myself drag racing or even taking to track.

Weird that your shifts are so noticeable. '18 S5 here and it's almost powerglide smooth. The TCU does learn a little though so that jerking could get worked out. Doesn't seem to be slowing you down.

[@VancityAudi]

I feel like it is slowing me down a little. Hopefully it sorts itself out or my transmission needs some calibrations or adaptations?

[@VancityAudi]

Hahahaha. That is coming up soon! E40 runs tomorrow morning!

[@besnikseferi1809]

Idk why but it seems that it’s short shifting from second to third and I think that’s making the trap speed and the time suffer

[@VancityAudi]

That's the way it has been tuned. From what I understand it is because the turbos are tiny on these cars and they die up top, so short shifting results in quicker times.

[@sharduljagtap6521]

Yes the short-shifting is part of the TCU Tune (optimized shift points feature). It basically optimizes the power output to allow for continuous torque & what @Vancity Audi said as well.

[@mrwiltonchan]

Just as important...how does the tune sound?

[@VancityAudi]

🤣 hate to break it to you, but a tune doesn't change the sound of your car. The only stupidity it added was more obnoxious pops and bangs when in Sport/Dynamic
