nearly bought a S3 last year, even it's a 225hp tubro 4wd, it's don't go as hard as my skyline.

so i don't think yr friend's a3 can touch u even mod, if he really does, install a boost controller!

They are SO sweet! i want one!!

u cane the crap out of it if it's a A3 1.8 turbo, audi feels very torqey, but dreadfully slow against the clock, but if it's a S3 be prepared to get cane. as with audis ther are many obstacles to clear in regards to modifications , it's not just as simples as bump the boost and hope to hell, the management on them are very smart and will pull back power if it sense more than regualted power is being deliver, did u know that on a hot day it bumps the boost up and reduces it on a cold day to keep power constant.

It is a A3 1.8t.

I know there are many skylines in the 10's-11's but here is one quick A4 1.8 Turbo Quattro:

Gone in 12.1 seconds

This is as far as I know the quickest daily driver A4 in the world. Its in Victoria as well.

The video shows the run, I can't quite tell but in the other lane it looks like a skyline to me...:shake: hehe

Not bad for 1.8 litres.

A healthy tuned gtst of the ilk you describe will put down a sub 14 1/4 mile pass. Go buy a Whiteline KCA349 rear diff cradle kit (bout $100) to make sure you hook up off the line a little easier.

Put a light flywheel in and you can get mid 13's with 10 psi of boost.

The A3 does a 15 second 1/4 mile, high 15's on a 'real' dragstrip (magazine tests are conducted on road surfaces wich always yeild better times --- think g-tech, this goes for the factory skyline car claims)

errr:confused:......so what's with the drag strip's surface that gives us slower times?

extra slippery?:burnout:

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
