Default *SOLD* Very Slightly Used Murph Stage I Kit For Sale

*SOLD 03/04/09*

I have a Murph Stage I SC kit for sale that was only used about one week and 100 miles. The kit was purchased by a 928 buddy from 928 Motorsports and installed in his 90 S4 by me in May of last year. Here is a link to information about the kit: http://www.928motorsports.com/parts/murf928scstage1.php

The car was driven about 100 miles with the kit installed before the owner had to leave town without the car. The car sat unused for months and the owner decided to sell the car. He asked me to remove the kit to sell separately, which I did. The car was sold and shipped off, but the kit has sat boxed in my garage since then.

Below is a picture taken in May 08 of the kit laid out when I received it followed by pictures of the kit as it is now. An extra fan is included that could be installed in front of the radiator. A number of parts, such as the fans, are assembled. The blower intake snout adapter box has some "assembly" marks on it from my efforts to persuade it into position. The small filter for the blow-off valve was damaged during removal. Two of the large tie-wraps were used, but two remain. One bottle of blower oil was installed, but two remain. Otherwise the kit is as new. The lower radiator hose is not in the packing box yet but will be included. I didn't unwrap all the parts for the current pictures, but I will do so to make sure everything is there before final packaging and shipping.

The kit was purchased for $5995 + $120 shipping. The owner is asking $4500 + shipping, which I believe can be done well below $120. The extra fan is included. I need to pad the parts in the main box a bit better and box up the SC unit for shipping, but it could be ready to ship in a day.

Bill.....what sort of hp numbers result from the non-intercooled SC setup?.....is it basically bolt-on with no changes to injectors, mapping, etc?

John:

Carl says at the link I provided above:

"The engine does not have to come apart - even the stock injectors do not have to be replaced - this is a straight bolt-on installation that will net you more than 400 HP at the tire!"

I did not dyno this car, but I'm sure Tim Murphy has plenty of data to back that up.

Brian, just because you have a "get-out-of-ticket's-free" card doesn't mean you get to rub it in our faces forever. How many "I can go faster than you" cars do you need?

I guess I'll wait for your Rev-Limiter to weigh in before i get too jealous.

This kit can be modifed to run with 42lb injectors and stock fuel pressure (would need some extra bits from Murphy).
Stage 3 is those bits along with an IC and smaller pulley, shark tunes LH / EZK chips.

Average power for an S4 auto with this setup is 400rwhp.

I thought I had dyno charts on the web site. Looks like I forgot to activate that page. Give me a minute....

Yes, I think that's a good discount even in today's economy! Priced for quick sale, as they say.

I'd prefer not to in this case. I'm not at liberty to give up the 3% charge I believe they will take, if I am not mistaken.

Only briefly. He's probably up to his ears trying to stay employed in the financial services industry in NYC.
