Audi S8 Bi Turbo
I’m proud to announce the first S8 Bi-turbo in our club, and the first of the country.
The S8 is model 1999 with 340hp on original form.
The owner is one of the founders of Audi S Club Brasil and is a great enthusiast of Audi Cars. He has the S8 and Another A8 in his house.
In past events he run against RS4, RS2, S4 and even S3 and feel a lack of power in lower speeds (until 200km/h) but with good aerodynamics and a reasonable power, he could keep the pace above those mark against the RSs. However, maintain speeds above 250km/h for long periods are becoming difficult due to traffic, and high-speed acceleration is a must.
So, he started to think about increasing the power of his great car. Doing some research on the internet he only found one S8 Bi-turboed. Even though he didn’t left this lack of information affect his goal. He went to Herrera Motors, one of the best tuner in Brasil, and tell him his project and expectations.
In 75 days the car started with two turbos and all plumbing in place. In 90 days he was ready and in the 91th day, he smoked my RS2 (with about 340hp) from stand still to about 300km/h (20 cars ahead).
The car is running alcohol as fuel (available in every gas station in Brasil) and with only 0,3bar of boost has an estimated 450+hp. To accommodate the intercooler, new front and rear (only for combined visual) bumpers were made. Auto-meter’s fuel pressure and hall meter were added to the cabin.
The transmission is holding well the rise in power for a while, but some noisy is audible when the throttle is hammed and it power downshift one or two gears.
After some accommodation time (and learning), the boost will be set to 0,6bar and 550hp+ is expected.
Below, some pics of the car and the great Bruno Herrera and his Brother (the tuners).
