Building an Audi the USA couldn't have | Owner Spotlight

[@Mc_muffintop]

It hurts to see someone else living your dream. Gorgeous car, kudos!

[@BillyPoore84]

sounds like you have some work to do then 🙂

[@_DavidC]

Why does it hurt, be happy for other people’s success, and go get your own

[@Atrociousa3]

Nah it’s great to see someone do it. Would love to do this with mine but that wiring seems like a pain.

[@swift__]

Just means you can use it as motivation or problem solving ( starting with mindset ) you’ll get there👍🏻

[@1dolladolla]

I want to do the same thing expect rs swap in a avant, one of a kind but I’m holding my S4 to eventually do this swap

[@rizrz34]

It was a blast filming the video, thanks for the opportunity! Hope to inspire others to do the swap and see some more cool manual avants on the road!!

Killer car man. A ton of work. I'd rather eat a bullet than attempt the adaptations you did lol

Hey can u help me work on my 2011 avant a4 im trying to engine swap into a s4 engine as well lol made me want one

[@scott3795]

@@seanvines7090not even a please or anything… you just expect the guy to dig out a specific part number for you, to no benefit of his own, and not even put the effort in to ask politely? Use google.

This is for the first time I guess its like a dream showing up and it also gets unleished to everyone else for fine tunement. So much time and effort put into ONE project. I am gonna follow up and see where the tune compass is now accompanying. Great Work and ready for the ever last project. 😊

Yeah like he said we got hosed here in the US market.

[@ProtoxxGaming]

@@ecocav0222 could you not just import one? Seems easier than building one

[@ecocav0222]

@ProtoxxGaming Yeah if you feel like waiting 25 years in order to do so. So 25 years from 2009 is 2034 year before you could legally import one over. That's another 11 years to go. Why wait and life is never a guarantee either on how long you will live. So if you can make one now and enjoy it. Why not?...

In the UK they only now offer an S4 in diesel awesome looking car.

[@Pops_uploads]

Always cool to see one of my homies get interviewed on their sick build

[@deejayyy1681]

Some day I'd like to do something similar to my allroad. Maybe an RS5 swap, I've seen one of those and it's sick! This build is also top notch, enjoyed watching

[@termsofuniverse7251]

Such a sick swap. Its a shame VW/Audi thinks the US market is better off with SUV/Crossovers.

[@mrbushido2839]

Wow Big respect for the owner and build. Admire his dedication.

[@jeffreywong1930]

This is the best of all the s4 swaps I've seen

[@bobbarrett2631]

Great job fella. As an S4 owner and seeing the gearchanges, I really feel that your stick shift is wasting power, due to rev drops between shifts and of course wasting power equates to wasting fuel. Who can change gear quicker than semi autos etc (we have auto, auto sport and paddle mode - all in one) its terrific, and very well mated to the V6 engine, which is great to live with. Respect to you for getting it done - can only imagine the man hours involved in the wiring alone.

[@ZizouOmar]

[@franzgordon115]

Hey great video! I love the swap and that SUPERCHARGER sounds fantastic. I have an A4 B7 that I have swapped to the K04 and all that goes with upgrading to handle that turbo and the suspension to the RS4. I love mine but yours is amazing!!

[@BigSteve_Gaming187]

I'm working on improving my 04' Passat GL 1.8T 5-Speed Wagon.. Still got alot to do with it...That is very nice.

[@betawizard]

Wow!!! I have got to go for a ride in that thing! I have a 2011 A4 Avant Prestige and boy would I love to have it run like yours. Mine looks identical on the outside.

[@markwhite270]

I have helped with other swaps before. They are A LOT of work even if it goes well. Well done sir! very nice S4 Avant!

[@SuperMattboxio]

Great build, cracking story. I know a guy *for real* who partnered with an Irish dealership on building a Golf GTI - when VW had determined that it would be cost prohibitive & wouldn't sell - for less than VW could build it - with stock parts. The guy tells me that this dealership later convinced VW to import GTIs to UK & IRE because of his car... Maybe taking it down to the dealership and meeting the manager wouldn't be a bad idea!

[@j_mars_cars]

Essentially the same build that Mighty Car Mods just did! The sti levorg wagon thing. Wagons need more love, and I’m so excited to see this.

[@Manoah.]

What I love about Audi is that the sedans and stationwagons are identical from the bottom up till the windows. Same goes for my 98 A4 Limousine. Got doorpanels, seats (Except rear seat because of a different latch system) all from an Avant. A year ago I got some complete front suspension from, you guessed it.... an Avant. Oh and my steering wheel came of an A6 C5 Avant 4.2 which is (And sounds) cool

[@grantbradley5084]

Wow that looks like it was quite a project! I’ve a 2012 A4 Avant 2.0 purchased new. Added a KO4, intercooler, IE manifold, intake, Bilsteen coilovers, stasis sway bars, down pipe, cat back, the list continues. Money spent on the car since purchase would have bought me a new TTRS. Ironically I did purchase a 2021 TTRS about a month ago, which got a stage 1 tune last Friday. Now I have two quick toys. What a gem you have!

[@TheTexican05]

Good stuff, Grant! Do you have a build page for your B8 over on AudiZine (or one of the forums)? I would read it. We’re doing a full motor build on a customer’s B8 A4 Avant (2012 MY), need to decide on the turbo and fueling to satisfy it.

[@brandynshroyer4240]

Guy is a mad man , awesome build I could not nor would I want to do that wiring. 😅

[@randomrangoon5476]

I've got an A4 b8 avant quattro I'm building (slowly) So this video is amazing, so thanks for it

[@TheManmoths]

Awesome, awesome build! I’ve got a B8.5 RS4 Avant in the UK, so weird that the US never even got the S4 Avant, let alone the RS4

[@rizrz34]

Just occurred to me when I said "double what a factory s4 would make" I must've been referring to boost pressure, lol. Stock S4 peaks at about 10-11psi and mine peaks at about 20psi with the dual pulley set up. Woops

Having lived in NJ previously, what I’m curious about is how the emissions stuff worked out. The 3.0 has got to be producing significantly more you’d assume. Love the car, love the concept.

[@rizrz34]

Emissions are no problem. It’s a factory S4 ECM, so they just plug into OBD like normal and as long as there’s no faults and readiness monitors are set it’ll pass. Just ran it through inspection in December and it passed 0 issues 👍🏻
