The 2021 Audi C8 RS6 Avant is the ultimate expression of supercar performance wrapped in everyday usability. Beneath its wide bodied, aggressive design sits a twin turbo 4.0L V8 producing 674awhp, paired with Audis legendary quattro AWD system for relentless grip in any condition. From highway pulls to back-road precision, the RS6 Avant delivers blistering acceleration, razor-sharp handling, and the unmistakable presence of one of Audis most iconic performance vehicles. This spring, one lucky enthusiast will have the chance to take home this RS6 Avant through our sweepstakes elevated even further with support from some of the most trusted names in the industry. APR is supplying the performance software tune to unlock the RS6s true potential, while AWE enhances the experience with a signature exhaust note worthy of the cars performance pedigree.

Take your braking to the next level with our Stage 4 Front Big Brake Kit, engineered for enthusiasts who demand maximum stopping power. This high-performance kit includes quality, race-inspired braking components, delivering track-ready performance and precision stopping directly to your vehicle. Each part is designed and tested in-house at ECS Tuning to ensure quality, reliability, and compatibility with your application. At the heart of our kit are massive ECS 18Z 6-piston front brake calipers, which provide exceptional clamping force for consistent, fade-free braking. These calipers work in tandem with large 2-piece floating rotors, which reduce stress on the rotor hat while allowing the friction surface to expand independently under heat. This floating design improves braking leverage and ensures that your rotors maintain optimal performance even under heavy, repeated stops on the street or track. Additionally, our proprietary rotors are cross-drilled and slotted, giving you the perfect balance of durability, performance, and cooling. The slotted surfaces provide improved bite and consistent stopping power, while the cross-drilled pattern allows heat and gases generated during braking to escape, reducing the risk of fade and extending rotor life. Complementing the rotors are ECS EP24 "Enthusiast Performance" brake pads, formulated to deliver aggressive stopping power, smooth engagement, and reliable performance in all conditions.

Is your engine throwing a misfire code? The problem is generally a failing ignition coil. Ignition coils provide spark, which is an essential step of the internal combustion process. If the spark is faint or nonexistent, power will decrease, and your engine will experience misfires. Moreover, as a vital component of your ignition system, coils should be changed every 40,000-60,000 miles. If you're experiencing misfires or ignition-related faults, or if you're due for a new set of coils, choose ECS Tuning Performance Ignition Coils for a durable, long-lasting upgrade that is sure to earn back lost performance. ECS Performance Ignition Coils are an excellent upgrade for vehicles of all performance levels. These direct plug-and-play coils provide greater spark energy than factory ignition coils, resulting in a stronger, more consistent spark. The attractive red housing with ECS Tuning etched resin complements any engine bay.

Whether you're upgrading your high-horsepower FSI build or planning a preventative pump replacement on your daily driver, choose our High-Performance Water Pump for increased cooling and reliability! To surpass the flow rate of the OE water pump, our engineers focused on refining the pump's impeller. By optimizing the blade angle, shape, curvature, and width, they were able to extract a sizeable increase in flow over the factory design. For even greater efficiency, the impeller is CNC-machined from lightweight billet aluminum. This provides a drastic reduction in weight compared to cast aluminum alternatives and grants a further boost in flow. Using advanced CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations, the final design delivered an average 14% increase in flow compared to stock! However, with longevity in mind, our engineers didn't stop there. To match the refinement of the impeller, billet aluminum construction was also chosen for the construction of the pump housing. A custom, heavy-duty Viton o-ring was sourced for the pump housing sealing surface, providing increased sealing power, fluid and temperature resistance, as well as durability. A double-row bearing was designed to exceed OEM pump service life, ensuring that this water pump will outlast the competition.

I purchased this car off our co-worker, Evan, after pestering him 5 times for it, with the full intent of doing a 4.2L belt driven V8 swap out of a 2000 S8. Since purchasing, the swap is complete along with replacement of the entire B5 S4 front & rear subframes and suspension. I rounded out the build with an 18Z BBK in the front and B5/B7 S4 BBK in the rear. To keep that V8 cool I took a MK4 Radiator and flipped it with some persuasion with a tig welder along with an E-Fan conversion. Up next PAINT...

The wheel that redefined OEM+ just got its evolution. Introducing the NEUSPEED RSe10R; a modern refresh of NEUSPEED's all-time best seller, the original RSe10. With its flow formed construction, precision-engineered fitments, and iconic split 10-spoke layout, the RSe10 earned its place as the go-to aftermarket wheel for VW and Audi enthusiasts worldwide. The RSe10R builds on that legacy � bringing sharper lines, deeper spoke pocketing, and a more aggressive overall stance, while retaining everything that made the original great: lightweight performance, perfect fitment, and daily-driver durability. From daily commute to weekend canyon run, the RSe10R offers a refined look that doesn�t shout � it shows. The sculpted spokes and motorsport-inspired silhouette make it an ideal match for modern Euro builds that demand both form and function.

Constructed from heat-sensitive plastic, your factory 1.8T fuel injector cups are prone to self-destruction. After years of constant exposure to engine heat, vibration, and chemical-laden fuel residue, cracks will form in the seat of the insert and create a multitude of issues. Boost and fuel leaks will eventually prompt a lean running condition, a rough idle, and multiple diagnostic trouble codes. With these issues in mind, our engineering team set out to create an everlasting, performance-minded replacement for the factory insert. The result is a precision-machined piece crafted from 6061-T6 billet aluminum a material selected for its excellent strength, durability, and overall resistance to fatigue. Unlike the brittle OE plastic inserts, our billet cups are built to last under extreme stress, ensuring your injectors remain perfectly seated and aligned at all times.
