6 Month Review of Stage 2 - B9 AUDI S4 | 034 Motorsport

- Hey everyone, welcome back to Daily Downshift! Just before we go to Stage 3 we wanted to film a 6 month review of the stage 2 ECU + TCU tune from 034 Motorsport. We've had people message us asking about the reliability so we thought it would be useful to address it in a video. We also discuss whether it's worth it versus stage 1 and some of the differences that you get. We hope you enjoy!

Love watching you and Nestor's car journey together! Congrats!
I was surf the web for audi, and all of a sudden i see your video. This is pretty much what i expected. 💥
i agree. installing a HFC and going stage 2 was something i put off, and didn't really see a need for since the power increase is negligible. However, i'm so glad i finally decided to do it. The sound alone is worth it. Way better than throwing $3k at an exhaust system.
Amazing video as always! 💪
IM SO EXCITED I NEED A STAGE 3 VIDEO NOW
Still waiting on supporting mods for it. One big install before the TTE
I have the 034 stage 1 in my ‘21 S5 vert - true, not a lot of pops, bangs and burbles from the stock exhaust, so I added the VPS res delete. Now it sounds great! The car is fast as hell, sounds and shifts awesome, yet I didn’t have to invest in the stage 2 and it’s bolt on’s! I will eventually, but IMO this is the best bang (no pun intended) for the buck. The next planned engine mod will be the IE full intake system, then the 034 stage 2 TCU and before next summer, the upgraded intercooler.
Love the sound of that
cant wait to see your reaction on stage 3....i just went to it...on b9 s5, pure 750 turbo and dynoed it at 550whp (approx 650 crank?) on 94 octane. enjoy the upgrade :)
Can't wait...one more install before stage 3 turbo actually. Quite excited!
You have an ots tune with the pure 750 turbo?
you could definetely see a 50whp jump with a custom tune
good piece of work,
Great video
Love what you done to it! Any interior rattles?
Going stage 2 93 through 034 next week so excited!!
How is it so far??
@@jareds5436 been stage 2 e85 for about 3 months was on 93 for less than 24 hours because 93 was slow e85 is great tho going tte710 this month tho ready for that big power
@@liamsquire6371 any update?
@@mikey.4is ended up going 810 e85 for about a month and half gapped everyone lost 2 races was a ton of fun sold the car tho!
thanks so much for the review. Really should go Stage 2. What wheel/tire set up are you running? I love that fat tire look.
245/40/18. Superspeed RF03RR with Michelin PS4S tires
What’s the fuel economy like? And how many miles or kilometres do you get on a tank?
I’ve had my S4 for about a month now and have already installed my downpipe and intake but unsure if I should just go straight to stage 2 or stage 1😭
What kind of intake did you install
Just curious-what’s an RS style startup?
Hello! What wheels and tire size?
What about 034 stage 2 e85
Stage 3 wont that reduce engine vitality?
Whats the 0-60
im looking at buying an S5 b9.5 im curious if i were to go to stage 1 or 2 and place the car in comfort mode would it still burble and pop / be as loud? and would it change the driving structure in terms of power etc?
No burbles in comfort mode. More power but not drastically different until you switch to Dynamic
Just curious where did you buy the diffuser bro ?? And also what’s the full exhaust system???
ECS tuning carbon fibre bits (incl. diffuser). Exhaust is just 034 downpipe
I had my B9 S5 sportback for little over 2years now and my warranty ends on 2026. I waited 2 years and kept my car bike stock but really want to tune my car with 034. Should I go stage 1 and then stage2? Or just straight to stage2? Or does the stage2 file comes with stage1 file?
I like experiencing every stage to gauge the difference but up to you. Just know you need some mods for stage 2
How'd you get around emissions with the hfc? I'm looking to replace my b9a4 daily with a b9s4.
I went a catted downpipe from Logos Engineering Motorworks and been cel free and pass emissions. Worth it on stage 2-and no rasp
I have a B9 stage 1 with 93 oct. Would it be possible/worthwhile to go e85 for performance and or gas mileage? I have literally no idea. Thanks
performance is much better but mileage takes a big hit
Hi man, did you replaced any internal parts with reinforced ones like pistons, crankshaft, rods, etc? Also did you notice any oil consumption or worn inside the engine? Nice Audi, my favorite one❤️💪🏼
Nope, no internal changes. Only noticed some oil in one of the spark plugs but have not yet found the cause of it
@@DailyDownshiftI’ve also found oil on only one of my spark plugs, stage 1 2020 s4 (going stage 2 once my intercooler comes in)…
Online searches I’ve done make it seem like it might just be the valve gasket needing replaced which is supposedly not a difficult job to do. If that’s what it actually is at least
@@ezmac9439 Thanks for letting me know. Will make a video if I find out anything further.
Would you say I NEED a downpipe for stage 2 or do you think I can get away with stage 2 with intake and intercooler and no downpipe upgrade? I wouldn’t be racing i just wanna juice my car up
Yes, you definitely need it. The stock cat is a big restriction. Even with stock tune, after you change the cat you notice a difference, its almost like the car was stuffed up and you just opened the restriction
What’s the exhaust exhaust setup just thé downpipe or something else too?
Would like to know this as well, sounds great!
Just a 034 downpipe. Exhaust coming soon!
The biggest issue, actually, was no Draggy times during your visit in Mexico. What's up with that?
Guess we'll have to do it again
is that stock exhaust with jus dp in this video?
Yep
Mexico has a lot of cars 🌚
:)
When is the stage 3 video coming out????
When the supporting mods come in, like the hpfp, map 4 sensors, turbo inlet
What BHP & Torque at the crank will you get from this stage 2 tune on 93?
I have a UK tune on mine which is 500bhp and 516 Torque BUT I hear 034 do it better! I need to know how it compares before spending ££££ 👍🏻
Posted a dyno video previously with the details, take a look. 415 whp was best run
How much did you spend in the uk and where did you go to
@@yacubahmed4165 I can’t really disclose the price because it was a pre release (1st customer car in UK) but I can say that the tuner was Revo. They have since however lowered the power figures twice! I’ve always felt the power could be more and have since switched to 034
@@84collection 500HP on the stock turbo and 98/99ron fuel? B.S
@@jimmymcgoo8641 It was bullshit. They miss-sold me. Claimed 500bhp and 700nm
I ran a back to back dyno when I changed to 034M/SPT and 034 tune made more power
Wanted your honest opinion, bro. Been interested in an S4 for 5yrs now. Long story short made the mistake of buying an STI 2 times since then. But now, I've been looking at the B9 chassis. How's the gear box holding and is the engine overall reliable and would you recommend keeping the car long term? Thanks in advance
I had an issue with the turbo and that was replaced under warranty, but that was rare. I think it's the best all around car for the money. However, like any car it will have issues as it ages but nothing yet!
@@DailyDownshift I actually had the same issue with my b9.5. I think they're just weak 😣
@@MLG_1738 what happened
@thenotoriousjoey9956 Some idiot crashed into me and totaled it 😮💨
@@MLG_1738and that makes it weak?
Is there an exhaust on the car in this Visio or is it stock behind the downpipe?
Stock after DP but we just installed an ECS exhaust
What wheels and what specs are they?!?!
Superspeed RF03RR. Full specs in our previous wheels video!
@@DailyDownshift yeah I’m an idiot and saw that video right after I sent that lol
I don’t think my 2019 S5 sportback has the oh shit handlebar up front
0-60 time?
Haven't recorded yet. Video coming soon once summer tires on
Amax comes as standard on the car.
Amax shifts are activated through 6th, whereas previously disabled.
@@seandavis2370 yeah I know that 👍
What’s your tire set up?
The only thing I don’t like about the IE/034 tune it’s that when you rev it parked it only goes to 6200rpms, I believe with EPL “not sure” you could rev it up to 7000rpms and makes it sounds so different and better
I'd prefer to stay within safer limits at 6200 rpm...until stage 3 hehe
EPL closed shop. They're trash
Is it possible to not have the crackle bullshit. I want the tune but not the annoying crackle that Dagestan your vehicle
It's only enabled in Dynamic. If you don’t want it, set your individual drive select to all dynamic except for “engine sound”.
So its basically like a stock bmw m. Bmw > Audi always.
You're forgetting about the RS trims and the R8.
@@Wayzor_ no I'm not. Audi will always be in the shadow of BMW
@@benny.b58 Based on what? Personal opinion is fine, just clarify that's what it is
