Marnell Balmeo<\/a> enjoyed driving his turbocharged Pontiac Firebird WS6. The power and torque delivered by the boosted V8 left a great impression. So when it came to build another project, he wanted the same thrill combined with something unique. <\/p>\n

Marnell started with a 2001 Audi S4 (B5) that came from the factory with a twin-turbo 2.7 L V6. It is now powered by quad-turbo 6.0 L LQ4 V8 sitting on custom mounts fabricated by Marnell. The motor features forged internals, ported factory heads, and four On3 GT35 turbochargers. <\/p>\n

Why four turbochargers? Marnell figured if he was going to build something unique, why not go all out. The V8 and four turbochargers consume a lot of space in the engine bay. Due to this Marnell relocated the radiator to the trunk. <\/p>\n

Marnell retained the factory 01E six-speed manual transmission and AWD drivetrain thanks to a Kitcarchassis adapter<\/a>. The transmission holds the power using a twin-disc clutch. <\/p>\n

Marnell reports the car is able to reach 0-60 mph in 2.7 sec and 60-130 in 3.7 sec. You can follow the the project’s progress on @marnellbalmeo<\/a> or his YT channel<\/a>. <\/p>\n
