Ive been looking at remaps for D2 S8s this morning. Its a car Ive always had my eye on. Ive seen a few people claim their S8s are above 400 with a remap, induction and exhaust change (possibly decat). I would have thought it difficult to even get close to 400, let alone above it without using Forced Induction.
Is this really possible? |

Honestly I'm doubtful, we've had a few S8s on our dyno in paris and they hardly ever produced the stock BHP, a remap got 10 BHP max out of them, now maybe with a full decatted exhaust you might get close to 30BHP on top of what they do stock, but over 400, I think you need a very optimistic dyno in oder to get that... |

Once upon a time ABT did a chip which, when combined with an exhaust, did get close to 400bhp. I only know of one car with it, and that's in the Netherlands.
Other than that.....no hope at all |

i've seen people get considerable power out of naturally aspirated cars but it takes one heck of a wallet.
talking serious money splashed on porting, aggressive cams, different pistons, upgrading electronics, etc.
and they run like a complete bag of shit unless on full tilt when you do.
pennies spent on forced induction in comparison. |

Just to bump my old thread... anyone know of a good FI setup on an S8 then? A centrifugal-type supercharger would seem to suit it best IMO. |

Speak to Ben at Avperformance. He is our (A8/S8 owners club) god when it comes to servicing and maintnence and is working on a supercharged S8 now.
I'm going to supercharge mine once I see how that one turns out and runs after a few thousand miles. He's ex Audi master tech, Rollys Royce Jet engineer and work is top notch. |
