Audi A8 - 20VT - 520HP

Does it still have the OE interior or fully stripped that out? i have to adjust my mindset a bit around a A8 with RS2 engine, but now I think about it it would be an awesome combo if you ask me

Looking forward to some videos WITH engine sound off course

Looks like a real sleeper. How much did that cost you then if you dont mind me asking?

About 2x the price of a regular A8 here in Norway.

Looking foreward to spot this a8 on "ring 3" around our capital

Hope we meet

Damn... it's BEAUTIFUL!!! I love early A/S8's... and with a 5 turbo... it's porn to me!!! lovely, amazing car! congrats mate! Hope you can make and share some video! ^_^

Thanks man! I will get some vids soon.

Looking good, any videos?

Not yet, working on it

I've seen this car as a Jonus project car on Gatebil.. A shame he didn't finish it.
You'd have to love the space in the engine bay with the D2 chassis...

It's a finished car. He made a thread with this car and the V8TT. He is still working on the V8TT. This one is complete

Thanks for the compliment guys

Nice car, like the setup in the bay. What turbo you running?

Updated spec list in first post. I don't know more any more specifics details than that.

superb limo running on great engine.
Welcome to the Forum.
You mention it bypass the BOV / DV, how does that setup?

Thanks I'm not running a BOV, so the turbo surges when I let off the throttle. Very cool sound compared to a BOV.

Hey guys,

Haven't been on here for a while, since I have been car-less, but I just picked up a 1996 Audi A8 with a RS2 engine. It's built by Jonus (famous Audi builder) in 2009.

It's fully built and is capable of 800HP on E85. I wanted this as a daily drivable car, so boost has been set to 1.8 Bar, where it produced 520HP/650NM (Engine HP) on 98 Octane (Dynapack). It runs on a safe A/F ratio and safe timing (Autronic SM4).

I will post the dyno sheet later, but here are some pics that the previous owner took.

I have removed the RS8/R5 badges, and it's now badge-less, making it a bit more of a sleeper. It also helps with the cops/road authorities as it looks "mysterious" now

It sounds AMAZING, it has a raspy exhaust note (gotta love the I5 engine), with lots of turbo noise. It doesn't run a BOV, so it sounds like a rally car when you let off the throttle
