Hey Everyone,
Today I thought it would be a fun idea to take a step back and do a follow up on all the mods that brought the B5 S4 to where it is today. It has come a long ways, and I've always thought it was fun to reflect on what were my favorite steps along the way.
All of the mods listed have their own respective videos. Each video should have links to the parts, so rather than posting 30+ links here, I'll link the playlist so you can find what you'd like:
• B5 S4 Build Series

You give me so much confidence about owning my s4, you’re absolutely carrying b5 content on RU-vid and I’m hyped to see where we take our builds!

I’m refreshing my b5 1.8t . I got the bigger side intercooler from apikol. all the maintenance is done down to a new brake fluid reservoir. I got a new stigan turbo k03 and am just lightening the car where I can . The turbo is performing well with no problems. The car runs tip top and I’m very proud of how quick it’s become . You’ve been giving me motivation to keep up the work with your videos

@aShamelessHigh 4 месяца назад

Is the turbo loud tho? I'm tryna get a turbo for my 1.8 that sounds like a jet engine spooling up

@jaypers232 Год назад

Love it. Fellow Washington B5 S4, also maxed out stage two. Need to install coilovers but while competent, i don’t have the tools to get it done properly. Same goes for the 1-2 Shift collar. Great content brotha

@christopherschwalbe2072 Год назад

It has been awesome to see what you have done and how far your car has come! I have been following you since the first S4 video when you trailered it home. I have a B5 S4 with a bunch of similar mods, but still follow your channel. I am really looking forward to when you get the new turbos! Awesome videos man!

@steveschmidt5574 11 месяцев назад

Really great video. I am an OG B5 lover and your channel is great! Keep up the good work!

Super informative. Should be useful for B5 owners for years to come

@damionblazer7139 Год назад

Cant wait for the wheel setup to come for the s4!! great video

It's been a long time coming haha. Those stock front calipers narrow the choices so much. Thank you for the support!

Cinematics and story telling make simple things so relaxing to watch

@montystevens1949 Год назад

Getting mines all back in shape. I need a few interior trim pieces and the factory airbox. I got the car with the oem one deleted. My biggest headache tho is the radio. For whatever reason its stuck and I can't remove it. I apparently have a ground fault somewhere in the wiring harness to it causing com issues with my obd port and a/c controls. The fuse on the drivers side dash keeps immediately blowing. Other than that the car is great! K04's and supported mods coming soon! Great video!!!

@morganlee2644 Год назад

Your videos remind me of gears and gasoline and deserve way more views than they get

Good looking B5 planning to get it and do a project also i saw a imola yellow b5 but planning to do it on A4 not S4 but i have a slight problem cuz i can't find with 1.8T here in Europe. But still im gonna do it watched your video and there is some motivation ❤️

@user-tr4qi9yo9h 9 месяцев назад

All the way from Capetown south Africa here we done have the b5 s4 only the base model a4 I have been a bmw owner for the pass 7 years and recently found a liking in the a4 b5 model and watching this video I made up my mind next. Car I'm saving up for is audi only problem I hate front wheel drive car skids is life 😅😂😂

@max.b92 7 месяцев назад

Ive been driving, and working on b5's for about 12 years now. This gave me the boost i needed to keep going on a b5 1.8t build i gave up on last summer. Your s4 is very tastefully done. And all that euro impulse carbon fiber man you must have clos 3k in carbon in that thing with the intake pipe and mirror caps. nice! And anyone wondering if the bcracing coilovers are worth getting, absolutely hands down. Make sure you get the swift springs option.

@CliffB5A4 11 месяцев назад

If you have the sport optioned seats in the A4 they have large bolsters, the standard ones dont. I went and brought a bunch of CD's to put in the stacker because i want to keep the interior as it came factory, this is the first car i haven't ripped the stereo out of immediately haha.

@HUGO-xo2mv 11 месяцев назад

you can install a digital sound processor, so you can keep your stock radio unit, but still have all the advantages besides a display from a good alpine or whatever

@9k827 Год назад

Not going to expect much for the 2.8, but should be a good watch as usual.

@HunterDirection Год назад

Most everything other than the turbo related stuff will apply! Physically the 2.8 is pretty similar to the 2.7 without the turbos. Everything suspension, interior, and whatnot would still make a huge difference on the car. Thank you for the support!

@theloveoneh2002 4 месяца назад

@hunterdirection I'm interested in the front bumper, and if with the replacement speakers if you went aftermarket or got back OEM, and if aftermarket what you did to get around the issue with the built in amps on the OEM speakers

I have the B5.5 Passat with 4mtotion, AWM 1.8T and 5 speed manual, all OE and only 117K miles. Love my car.

@joshrevell7134 Месяц назад

Just brought myself a b5 1.9tdi haven't been happier with a car

@jimmywest1 11 месяцев назад

Where do you buy and find sway bars for example? I don't find any good site at all in Sweden and I don't find any upgrade kits on ebay/amazon etc.. I'd appreciate a link or two.

@quickestmargaret 8 месяцев назад

excellent video

@brandonb88 Год назад

I daily a 2.8 with Quattro/manual.. no aftermarket for this motor, so I lowered it and called it good.

@b1g_merxy778 11 месяцев назад

Same here, but with a 2.4 and fwd. No engine mods so gotta stick to mods that fit all B5 models

@aShamelessHigh 4 месяца назад

2.8's sound really really good. Underrated

@S4rce 8 месяцев назад

what make and model of the head unit you replaced with and why you selected that over others. Thnx

@gamingvenom3379 5 месяцев назад

hi man i recently picked up an A4 B5 1.8t FWD and replaced the offside driveshaft along with rear gearbox mount and still sounds like there is a slight rub/vibration and supposedly -5 out on one side

@izzyvw7510 Год назад

Sweet video.

@patrickbernard5458 10 месяцев назад

Anyone know how to get a similar mod to the rear suspension when you have a non quattro that doesn't have a rear swaybar ?

@unknown-sy4lq 3 месяца назад

Mobilspec makes a really good bluetooth fm transmitter, its not cheap but worth it. I believe it was around $120

@Raj3w3ls 2 месяца назад

I have those same wheels where did you get the center caps

@whiterabbit4580 8 месяцев назад

Hi, considering that I might not be able to own an S4 ever, should I actually put some money in the a4 b5 1.9 afn that I already own? car is at 400k+ km and has a pretty sad interior.. board itself looks as new, but chairs and armrest looks bad.. also exterior needs to be remade, rust and maybe color.. another thing is that I find it impossible to find where to buy car mats that fit properly.. Any answer would do, thank you!

@dylanbaker828 11 месяцев назад

Hi, been trying to do some research on how the a4 2.8l will handle turbocharging. Some people say that the engine doesnt handle boost well at all and isnt a great platform for engine modifications. Would you say that you agree?

@max.b92 7 месяцев назад

Its not worth doing. By the time you get it running you could have bought a 2nd clean b5 a4 1.8t. Better to get 2 b5's and daily the 2.8 then try and turn a 2.8 into a s4

@Orion-jr6fi 9 месяцев назад

hey this is super informative, but i'm curious - how much of this info crosses over to the b6?

@HunterDirection 9 месяцев назад

Super solid question. Very much so depends on the engine itself. If you have a 1.8 any of the 1.8 mods I listed for the b5 are pretty much a direct crossover. I had a blast with my b6 avant. I will say that the B6 platform has some big improvements in both stock suspension and overall build quality. The sway bars really made my old avant handle well though.

@looped7979 6 месяцев назад

1.8 20VT or S4 ? The S4 sounds better, goes faster and looks nicer buuut.... It's around 400lbs (200kg) heavier, understeer is gonna be worse and the maintenance looks like a nightmare. I'm really undecided here, any clues ?

@georgeskountouflis3136 5 месяцев назад

Anyone knowing if B5 parts match for b6 aswell?

@ryantheguitarguy2359 Год назад

B5 content = Good content

@Datswisha Год назад

Have you ever had a problem with your upgraded coil packs popping out? Considering if I need the 034 conversion that comes with a plate to keep them secured. It's a lil bit pricier but I want to know if it's needed for piece of mind.

@HunterDirection Год назад

So far I haven't had any issues with that on the 2.7 or the 1.8. I will definitely keep an eye on that as I go into bigger turbos though!

@KaMil-gw2qr Год назад

You can also source BEL valve covers, then you can just use the push in coil packs without any adapters. APB valve covers require the adapter. Or you can purchase C5 RS6 coil packs and use them with the APB valve covers and no adapters as they are the older screw in style.

@AB-jo1pe Год назад

It’s a shame you delete comments that give actual info from people who have owned these cars from longer then you’ve been alive.

@HunterDirection Год назад

@@AB-jo1pe The comments were likely auto deleted for having a link or something. I haven't deleted any lol.

@AB-jo1pe Год назад

@@HunterDirection nope, didn’t post any link. But good to see you’re not doing so. The coils won’t pop off. They aren’t under any load or pressure. The problem with the conversions is the adapter harnesses, which stink. They are bulky and on many cars cause misfires because they aren’t grounded correctly. Wiring it back to the ecu is the best option, and a few people make a harness for this exact purpose.

@datorr7470 11 месяцев назад

I picked up the same set of wheels for my B5, rear right rubs a little, probably bad shock, any thoughts

@HunterDirection 11 месяцев назад

Could definitely be a bad shock or some sort of a control arm bushing. Maybe even the control arm is bent. I haven't had any rubbing with these surprisingly haha

@raudiJesus Год назад

B8 calipers and pads and B6 rotors. Direct bolt on poor mans "big brake kit". Got the idea from German Elite Tuning. I've also heard you can use B6 rear calipers, pads and rotors for the back but haven't done much research on that yet.

When you say updated headlights, are these the facelift ones? I just got my equally abandoned 1.8T Avant B5 and I'm in the process of rebuilding-updating it 🎉
