Audi S4 with sneaky twin-turbocharged V-8 almost sneakily swapped at SEMA

Recently, after we visited this year's SEMA return, it seems that the super street network is completely built around engine exchange. Flipping through the content to tell you the story, we have introduced the Judd V-10 powered Supra for Time Attack games and the E46 station wagon for the Mercedes diesel exchange to drift taxi. You know that the exchange list must include the famous 2JZ, which we found under the hood of the Nissan S14, perhaps the craziest: Lamborghini Gallardo runs a huge turbocharger on its built-in Toyota transplant.

All of the above versions have a wild look, and once you look closely, you will find that they have cross-platform exchange capabilities, which is not surprising. On the other hand, this 2014 Audi S4 will surprise most people who encounter it. Of course, it has some graphics on the back, which makes sense because it is used to stand in front and in the middle, and represents 034 Motorsport in a shared space with partners Racingline Performance and EMPI during SEMA week. Remove those stickers and you will be left with a rather gentle appearance, and will not let you know that its twin-turbocharged V-8 is interchangeable.

The paint you see is the factory Audi color from their Exclusive line, called Crimson Mica, similar to its surprise exchange, it is almost black in low light and appears crimson in direct sunlight, fooling most One glance by the way. There used to be a factory-released supercharged V-6 under the hood, which was launched through Audi's AWD system and used out of the box. 034 Motorsport provides a full set of performance components to further enhance the original 3.0-liter engine. However, the temptation to introduce extra liters and a pair of pistons is difficult to push away, which is understandable. Remove the 4.0-liter V-8 from the Audi S6 and place it between the shoulders of the S4, allowing this product to produce more than 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of power. Torque from the beginning.

If you know your Audi, then the V-8 hood will leak something, but if you are not proficient, you will assume that some bolts have been added, and all are based on the inventory of assembly and craftsmanship, and make full use of the factory support Pieces. What you can see is the 034 open air intake with a carbon fiber heat shield and a strong billet aluminum shock tower bracket behind the engine.

The things you can see are far obscured by the things you can't see. 034Motorsport tells us that this demo car utilizes every suspension and chassis upgrade option currently in production. Visited the S4 dedicated section of their website and realized that this is a lot of parts. The chassis has five pages of support, including small, effective upgrades, such as aluminum rear differential bracket installation, density line control arm, drive shaft tunnel support, and so on.

The group also offers their own wheel series, and their 19x9.3 35 ZTF-01 forged model was selected for this construction and set in the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. The matte anthracite finish is perfectly matched with the unique body color. These wheels are specially developed to maximize tire assembly without resorting to fender rolling.

Their Dynamic lowering springs work well with the original magnetic riding DCC pillars and set the car at a respected real-world height. Behind the clean wheels, you will find the brake kit cooperation between 034 and Racingline Performance. The only body modification includes a simple and elegant carbon fiber bumper and ECS Tuning trunk lip. If you have a keen eye, you may have noticed a custom exhaust system that is 3D printed in aluminum and is fully functional. Similarly, there is no sign, it is just an S4 with some small modifications on the outside-this is the goal of this outfit.

Of course, being an authority in the field of European tuning means that you cannot leave alone, but to challenge the limits. At this point, the car has not been hit by the terrible SEMA construction stigma, that is, it is merely a promoter.

034Motorsport told us that it is fully operational and pointed out: “Currently, it runs and drives perfectly without checking the engine lights. We have fully integrated the S6 ECU into the S4 CAN bus system.”

In any case, this does not mean that it has been completed, because now SEMA's plan to end is to continue development and find more power to exceed 700 horsepower by the end of the year.
