Upgrading to GIANT Brakes on my A4! | B8 Big Turbo Build | Episode 18 

the porsche sticker clip was great 😅 great job, they look great behind those wheels

Burst into laughter at POORSCHE 😂 Love your production quality and humor, it’s fantastic!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 poorssche…. I love the pondering. I can’t wait until my S Line is done ✅ looking Fyah 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I own a swapped mr2 but I used to daily a 2.0 Quattro a4 b8.5. I miss it and want a manual one! I want to replicate your build one day. Thank you for all your work

I would give bleeding one more go before making a MC change, note the B8 MC is the same as the 2018 S8 (6 piston 400mm). I have found manual bleeding to produce better results, and it takes quite a bit when you're switching out lines due to how much air is introduced. Manual bleed, ABS output test via VCDS, manual bleed, the calipers might like a little mallet tap as well to dislodge bubbles.

Thank you very informative and they do look good. Great idea on the naming nomenclature.

Your videos always inspire me to do something to my B8. Lately I've been shopping for a B8 S4/S5 but the prices are through the roof and absurd for the mileage.

The Tesla EPB addition was a unique and an innovative touch. Hopefully, you're able to pitch-in into the forums on how we could do that? I'd like to upgrade my Rear Calipers to a 4 pot variant just like yours as I'm running the Macan setup up front and S4 rears in the back

love the Porsche big brake look on an Audi. A nod to the RS2, and so clean. nicely done.

Love seeing your channel grow. Nice video also! Can't wait to see what's next

If the b8 suffers similar soft 1” of peddle with BBK like prior model years, there’s a 1-2 psi valve you can install where hardline meets soft line. Pretty amazing addition to the BBK as it firms the peddle significantly.

Nicely done man. I run Akebono pads and rotors and I am happy with how they perform.

Dude I absolutely love the "poorsche"

I am looking at an Audi A4 (B8) wagon and came across this video. I may or may not leave the engine stock but incase I decide to make some power I'm happy I watched this and know what parts can fit on the car to give me some extra stopping power. amazing video as well besides the brakes, production and information overall is also great.

Bigger brakes don't exactly make you brake faster, but help more with brake fading, although more braking force fyi more piston calipers do help...nice kit

Excellent edit intro

Love the POORsche branding. I get crap from the whiners because i installed mk2 TTRS calipers (4 pot monoblock caliper) on my b8 avant and didnt repaint them. Running them with 355x32 full floating rotors and running s4 setup for the rears didnt want to go to a bigger rotor than that drop quite a bit of weight over stock. Did new seals before installing if i ever repaint would probably do 4 rings or s line logo. The larger splash shields are like $30 direct from audi (4H0-615-311-C, 4H0-615-312-C). Was running EBC reds but they were pretty dusty switched to Hawk they seem to have better performance havent run long enough to tell if less dusty.

Btw I’m sure you know this by now by 034 does offer two piece rotors for the Q7/SQ7 platform which are insanely almost 14lbs lighter.

Lmao the up badging jokes hahahaha and the caliper covers!

Brother, Your videos are killer!

Your funny 4:43 i loved it was great 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm putting Porsche on mine its a B6

Upgraded master brake cylinder will not make any difference in brake pedal travel unless the inner bore diameter of the master cylinder is actually larger than what you are running now. Usually, the upgraded master cylinder will have a larger diaphragm to give increase boosted pressure to the hydraulic system and not necessarily a larger inner bore diameter of the cylinder. These are two different things. One way you might be able to check is research what Porsche uses on the latest 911 Twin Turbo S which I believe is running 10 piston calipers up front and 4 piston ones in the back. Given the sizes of the front calipers, I'd say the hydraulic fluid displacement is probably more than what you are running with 6 pistons and the back ones being equal at 4 pistons on both and I don't believe the OEM brake system will have large brake pedal travel distances. If the inner bore diameter of the master cylinder 10 piston front brakes are not significantly larger than what you have now on your car, then upgrading the M/C will not change the brake pedal travel! It sounds like you still have air in the system and didn't get all the air out. Remember, all the brake pads that move when you apply the brakes only move 0.010 inch! This is about half the thickness of a typical business card! The hydraulic fluid is filled up completely to the back side of all the pistons in the calipers. What ever distance the brake pads move is the distance the slave cylinders move - no more, no less. Given the piston sizes of the total number of pistons on your car, 6 pistons x 2 + 4 pistons x 2, you can calculate the volume of the hydraulic fluid displaced when you apply the brakes and it will be some but minimal! Your existing M/C can easily handle this amount of brake fluid required at all four brakes!!! And if you have the inner diameter of your M/C, you can easily calculate the distance the M/C piston must travel to give the above calculated volume of hydraulic fluid required by the brakes! Hope this explanation helps.

Ah yes exactly what I've been looking for, I've been in the market for a big brake upgrade for my A5

Looks killer.

got a link to the rear kit for calipers and ebrake caliper?

Currently sitting on a pair of 365mm OEM Wave rotors from a 2018 R8 for either my B8.5 Allroad or my C4 Avant. More than likely going on the C4 due to engine swap needing more than 280mm front rotors.

looooool poorsche what class!!

Very cool upgrade 🎉🎉

So amazing what you did with the sticker lol

Would definitely want a two piece disc to bring the unsprung mass down.

Nice job my friend =) i have the same setup at the front; but not on back only 1 piston 330mm from a7, but put the parts numbers on the comments, I dont have that brake discs, that is a 380mm i have 375mm,

My man

Looks awesome man. I’m jealous

If someone want to know, the Macan S mastercylinder + brakeservo combo fits to B8 with just minor alternations to the brakelines. The piston diameter is over 28mm. Works well with the Macan S brembos or Akebono calibers ☺️

nice to my country on Your brakes :D

Awesome job Chris! The Big Brakes look great, nd clearly work well too! Pooooorsche ... lol :)

I know on the B7 ones when You lose fluid You got to do an ABS cycle via VCDS when bleeding, have You tried this maybe it will help?

Awesome video! I’m going to be going this route and I’m sourcing the parts. Hope you can help. Are the rotors 380mm?

Watching him bounce around is his seat towards the end. That would get old fast.

How did the paint hold up at the track? I’ve seen people use “high temp” spray paint like this for calipers and absolutely cooked it on the track. Bubbled, dried, and flaked off

Good shit Chris

I was dying when u read the comments 💀💀💀😂😂😂😂

My 08 bmw 135i came stock with 6 front and 4 rear piston brembo brakes and I want to see if I can mod it to fit my b8.5 allroad

Can I ask what hardware was used to fit these? I know requires some spacers and a longer bolt, but not sure which.

Hi mate, great video. Did you come across anything about the pads not covering the complete rotor surface? does this not create bad lips?

you'd get a double thumbs up from me if I saw those calipers on the road lmfao

Awesome job there Chris... did you use a wheel spacer for clearance and if you did can you tell me the spacer milometer.

What's the size of your wheels?

What is your wheels size and front discs size?

Did you had to do anything to the knuckle or anything for the callipers to fit? And what is the disc size?, trying to do that on my a5 b8.5

I have A B8S5 About to pull the trigger some Are these better than RS5 8pod since it has a bigger Rotor to start with.? And what master cylinder are you replacing it with ? Can't wait for that video.?

What did you do about the rear electronic parking brake?? Those macan rears didnt look like they accepted the parking brake??

Im looking to get 4m q7 brakes on my b8 s5, what bracket would you need for the b8 series? And what size bracket spacer did you use? Thank you

HI, I’m interested in buying the calipers. Which Caliper Adapter Bracket should I use? D3507 or D3517. Would appreciate your feedback🙏

Do you have part numbers for the rear Caliper bracket made to hold both rear and parking calipers? Also whats the part number of the Tesla Parking Brake? Wanna do this upgrade too!

Great work and a very informative video. Is there any other option for the e-brake? And will the front brakes clear 19x8,5 et43 peelers?

Where did you get the mount for the rear so you can mount the Tesla parking brake from

Would you happen to have a part number for the front caliper brackets?

did you change the brake fluid to make sure it is fresh as it ages and absorbs water

You got me lol.

Do the fronts have the same squishy feel like the macan front 4 pistons have issues with??

So Im going from 1 piston all around to 4 piston up front in about a week or so. Do you think with only adding 6 extra pistons ill need a new Master Cylinder where in your case you added like 16. Im super nervous for the install because things are never as easy as it seems. also I should only have like 6mm of clearance with my calculations

Whats the wheel inc? 19 or 20

Really enjoy your videos. I'd like to upgradethe brakes on my '12 A5 B8. Did you use the carriers that came with the calipers or something else?

Love the quality content. What wheels and tires are you running? I found some 20s and I'm wondering if they'll fit even if I'm on lowering springs.

Hello, are your brakes brembo 18z? Where did you buy the adapter?

do u think anything other than a ko4 big turbo kit for a b8.5 a4 would be worth it or would I run into problems I was looking into the cts ko4 hybrid kit but would I have to build my engine???

I see my joke was extremely accurate

Do you have a link where I can get the adapter to run these brake calipers ?

i wanna ask if this 4M0615107BT brake caliper will fit on a5 b8.5. thx

Great video., Any chance you still have a link for mounting kit? Tried to find by name, but unfortunately no luck.

For Those Interested In a More Bolt-On setup, I Used C7 A6 / A7 3.0T Calipers and Stoptech 356mm Drilled and Slotted Rotors. DIRECT BOLT ON SOLUTION.

What year is the Porsche cayenne rear brakes

I need that wing! Where did you get it? Clean ass a4 sheesh hopefully mine looks like yours soon

I prefere only the Audi rings in the calippers.

You don't run adjustable upper control arms correct? How do tires wear?

So did you paint the fan on purpose or on accident

The intro has me ded

Hey Chris how many miles on that bad boy? just got to 154k and thinking about buying some new rotors/pads/etc

will this work on my b7?

Hey man, i’m using macan front and rear calipers for a time now and the brake pedal kind of feels mushy. I believe it’s about the master cylinder? Do you have any suggestion about the potential upgrades?

I’ve been modding my b8.5 a4 for a while now too, and I’ve wanted more ponies out of it for a while now (I have the full stage 2 k04 setup on it), but go damn it gets expensive and I have no idea anymore if it’s worth upgrading internals and turbo (again) just to get a 100 more horse😢 I love the a4 but why tf they make the block so un-upgradable 💀

Mind telling me where you got the honeycomb fog light covers?

trying to fit some of these q7 calipers to my b8 a4. you mentioned the previous kit owner already modified them to fit. you mention the spacers for the caliper to adapter. do you know if there was any grinding done on the adapter itself to get the calipers to sit with the discs perfectly centred?

Why red man? Just why…

I'd keep what you had than have flat face rotors with no slotting in them because performance wise it's a downgrade.

Nice Vid! Do you know if those calipers are plug & play on a S5 B8 like the Q5 4 pot calipers?

i have a 2013 audi s5 8.5 supercharger will this mod also work for me?

😄👍😎

my car is IE stage 2 with all the stage 2 supporting mods but I feel like my car is still unreliable if you could just insert the 5 page maintenance list in this comment section😭 but fr I need some help man🥲
