This means the world, I appreciate it. I truly love this stuff

[@TheAustinmehta]

Glad to see an S4 build! You're gonna love it, Sean has persuaded some things for me too hahah! I'm currently Stage 3+ now because of it

[@TDincorparation]

Been watching since Mazda Speed 3 and Focus ST days, and actually was influenced by your channel and daily drove a 2016 ST3 for 3 years. As of a few months ago I sold the ST and bought a B9 S5 Coupe. Looking forward to seeing the progress of this S4!

[@CameronAlford]

This is great!!! Lots of peeps love S5 this is interesting to see

[@Ken-xr2xp]

Your Stage 1 explanation is the best around. Great take.

[@bassfan71]

S4 are a sleeper for sure. Love the build videos. Keep it up!

[@jasonloza117]

Subscribed for this build. I'm hoping to get either an S4 or S5 once I graduate so a series on this car is perfect. I will be checking out your other builds as well as I like your style of talking about certain things. Great video and love the color!

[@S4Tony3.0T]

Ive got a b8.5 and subscribed after watching your older series on the GTI. Now the S4, gonna love all the new videos on this beast

[@3ssential800]

Super hyped for this build. As someone who is planning on getting a b9 s4 in the next couple months 😄

[@Quattro_rings]

Definitely a fun and comfortable car to live with. First had an ‘18 S5 coupe in Tango Red and later on a ‘19 S4 in Quantum Gray. As Sean from 034 said, the water pump is a known weakness, as well as the oil filter housing leaking and rocker arm failures are things to look out for. The car is too quiet from factory in my opinion, but an AWE track exhaust really woke it up. No trumpet sounds like a VQ motor. Just deep and throaty. Enjoy!

[@SuicideBreezy]

bro ive been looking at b9s for a couple weeks, perfect timing 😂 your builds are always so close to what i would do, much love

[@tschmidy183]

[@Dillon000]

You’re going to love your S5! I’m in LOVE with mine! :D

[@Sdizzle7]

2013 b8.5. The supercharger screaming with aftermarket exhaust and intake is something special, and it pulls so quick off the line.. Plus lowered with carbon kit, I love it as much if not more than my m2. Also with 034 tune and dsg tune, it feels fantastic.. I will never sell the car. The only thing I hate was the MMI bluetooth and screen, but I upgraded to an aftermarket infotainment system. Recommendations for the build. The RS4 grill is for sure a must, and carbon fiber diffuser, and canards around the fog lights. It transforms the body sooo much.

[@eduardopantoja5997]

Keep up the amazing content Cam!

[@CameronAlford]

We will do our best! Thank you so much.

[@DigitalCowboy87]

Small small world man lol... I'm originally from Tucson AZ, my best friend (that still lives there) knows Jeremiah and was actually looking at the white S4 he ended up buying. This friend has been interested in the platform because of me lol. Much like Sean did to you I had been telling him about mine for awhile now and when he first rode in my B9 stage 3 car he was like holy shit haha. My B9 has since been totaled due to a head on collision but I now have a stage 3 B9.5. I'm local to 034 and have basically put every single part they have on both my cars. Whether you stick with stage 1 or take it all the way to stage 3 on ethanol you'll love the car, just an overall great platform. Congrats on the new whip!

[@StockB8]

Currently have the b8.5 , had it for a lil over a year now and I still love it. I do have my eye on a b9 rs5 hopefully sometime in the future I’ll be able to own it

[@marlanefitz9974]

I have a MK7 GTI, how do you like the S4 over the GTI? Mine is FBO, can run e85, vortex xl blah blah blah and haven’t really found anything that gets close to how much the GTI makes me feel.

[@brentmc79]

@@marlanefitz9974 it’s great! My GTI was FBO with a Mabotech turbo custom tuned by Ed at EQT. The S4 is quite a bit faster, with a little more space, and the AWD is great. Honestly, I love both cars.

'18 S4 here with 034 Stage 1 E85/93 & Stage 2 TCU. Modded air box and some other intake upgrades. Wagner intercooler/pipes. Still love every minute in this car. Intercooler is a must. I would do it even stock. Yeah that 91 👎

[@402car_kid4]

Funny enough I was a Honda/subaru/mazda/rcsb kid for basically my whole life but I’ve always wanted a Particular Audi since I first saw them in the early 2000s. Finally found a nogaro b5s4 that’s already had hybrid ra6 turbos and on e85 making 450/475 and I couldn’t pass it up. People claimed they’re unreliable but it’s been more reliable than most of the cars I’ve ever owned. Been looking at getting into a newer b8.5/9 s4 or a used rs3 at this as well now. Maybe even an SQ5 and do fbos. The only thing I wish is Audi didn’t keep making their cars bigger and bigger. Putting a b5 next to a b8+ is a huge difference.

[@MauriceNL1]

What a nice car the S4 congrats! What i noticed is that it is equipped with Hankook S1 Evo tires, i had these tires on my Golf 7R and it made the car understeer way too much. I'm now using Yokohama Advan Sport V107 and the car is way better, less understeer and more grip in corners! Definitely get some better tires for curvy road driving

[@19PatMcDowell90]

Hey Cameron my suggestions for your S4 upgrade your motor mounts and trans mount to 034 motor and trans mount, along with the transmission mount insert by 034 motor, also get the subframe bushings from 034 motorsports, get 034 motorsports or unitronic or apr cold air intake with sealed housing, upgrade the spark plugs to Brisk Racing silver spark plugs ER12YS, APR red ignition racing coils, red EBC front and rear brake pads, Throttle body spacer by AFE, CTS turbo aluminum charge pipes, upgraded front mount intercooler, catless downpipe or test pipe in place of the catalytic converter, army trim full custom titanium Quad exhaust, sprint booster throttle controller, lowering springs H&R, or coil overs, 25MM wheel spacers all the ways around, 034 motorsports high pressure fuel pump and low pressure fuel pump, 034 motorsports 034 motospots turbo muffler delete, and well as diverted valve delete and get a BoV by HKS or by forged motor, methanol injection by AEM, lastly get a staged 2 not stage,stage 2 ECU & TCU tune by 034 motorsports or unitronic are the best you should gain about 200-250 HP to the wheels with all these goodies

[@DJMAZ514]

Bro look into the rocker arm issue and do them if need so cause it’s one hell of a job to do 2018 to 2019 depends the production date

[@willhalsey8094]

The thing about the S models is how well they hide their speed. It's truly scary.

[@midlifemods]

B9 S4! 😎

[@EntaiIIe]

feedback from some b9 ownership experience: the exhaust sounds pretty crappy with MOST configurations, I challenge you to experiment and find something you enjoy on this one : ). the driving feel is a little disconnected, even with the sport pkg. the sport pkg does help tune out some of the understeer at least and makes it feel a lot better in the turns. its just one of those cars that are really capable and it sorts everything out for you no matter how poorly you execute on something.. which takes some of the excitement and passion out of it for me. it's very quick for what it is, and it puts down the power super well, it will surprise a lot of cars. the transmission is awesome and a big upgrade from the clunky dual clutch in the b8's and b8.5s. a comfortable, practical bruiser cruiser that can get down. I have a ct4v blackwing now and I have no doubt that even a stock b9 s4 would heckle me off the line or around town pretty well despite the power discrepancy, they are just efficient.

[@luigymasse4988]

Dude! You need to actually do a c8 such a cool car

[@darrenhopewell7405]

I also have an 8.5 bone stock with an exhaust and you will be surprised how they drive stock.

Your car should have apple carplay starting in 2017 model years, you just have to get into the right MMI settings to enable it.

[@nicoboiardo3612]

It does mine has Apple carplay but for some reason my music off my phone it shows up on the screen but it just there's no there's no sound in it so you have to click off from Apple play and run through Bluetooth and you'll be able to play your music but you'll still be able to use the Bluetooth for your phone and calls like when you do with that is that the navigation for the map it's not going to show the area in or what you shut it off but it works fine you just got to go through the menu you got to you got to go through it you have to go your buddy probably knows what to do but you have to go to car and then you have to go to source and once you get into Source you're going to see where you have to set it up with your phone and that's how it works

[@Shulcyo]

You need intercooler, turbo inlet and new air intake but intercooler is must with stage 1

Just be careful, 034 has more than a few blown B9 S4s now… IE also.

[@034motorsport]

Are you referencing our 0.2% failure rate that has yet to be linked to the tuning at all yet there's ample evidence of single cylinder hardware failures on these engines even while stock? We talk about this in great detail and show you our numbers here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYvVqXmYmseUibs si=i5eeo7sAZI20Q5Vx Cameron is in safe hands with a Dynamic+ Tune on his S4.

[@WCAVD]

We’ve seen multiple failures on stock tunes and hardware, if it was a software issue, you’d be seeing more than “a few blown B9 S4s.” Casting failures, mushrooming of pistons, rocker arm failure leading to the scoring of cam lobes, etc.

[@CameronAlford]

I came across a lot of cars when hunting that had cylinder failure and when I got the background on what the owner did to them.. it was immediately self explanatory and very obvious they played themselves and it was user error. At face value the headlines and the idea of this seems daunting... but the negative experience people are always louder then the mass majority that dont say anything and have a great experience. This is the same problem in every other area of life and business. Negative people are the loudest.. sometimes its true.. sometimes its not. Have to do your own research and seek knowledge from both sides and larger groups before making assumptions or statements

[@CameronAlford]

For anyone concerned here is what I will say -- I dont personally have 20k in my pocket for a new engine for this car.. if I was worried about it I wouldn't be doing this after researching and doing the due diligence. Is it a risk at the end of the day? Absolutely. Is it one that I have enough background and information on and mechanical understanding on to take the risk with confidence? Absolutely, I dont stress about it at all. Anything past stage 2 it's a whole different gamble in my personal opinion. If you are going stage 3 or beyond, you definitely should not be going there unless you have disposable income to cover any of your mistakes or mechanical failure. Be smart! Its all about knowing your limits financially, mechanically and keeping cars fun and doing things the right way so you dont ruin the hobby/lifestyle for yourself.
