It’s not bad! And you can pick them up for cheap.

@50mubarak here, it was 540 on high boost with octane. Low boost around 490-500.

I can't decide!

@@s4owner damn! Praying my bill isn’t that high 🫣

@@s4owner I hope it gets fixed soon, and it all works out for you. I really do! Head up.

@@S3Ranj I'm assuming it's because of the v6 engine tbh

@@S3Ranj cheers mate

@@bxbbyscars absolutely!

I think it did, but that engine wasn't built by Ares. Since Nathan has had it, it's been doing crazy numbers! I could be wrong, but that's what I recall.

It’s a fair comment to make. I used to drive the car in med boost 1.9 bar for 95% of the time. But tbh, I’ve been seeing a lot more cars tuned at 2.2 on a stock block, and I’m like.. does that sound promising. I do think it’s more of an intricate thing, meaning, I think boost pressure has its own variables, and I’m no tuning expert. But I think if it was kept at a lower boost, it would have been less likely to have blown up. I’m actually going to remove the current MRC map once’s it built, and go with a different tuner.

@@S3Ranj The videos you’re doing are brilliant - answers so many questions for people who will have who have / are thinking of tuning. I’ve done mild modifications to mine and will be looking at a stage 1 next and this has given me plenty of food for thought. You don’t always find these answers on the internet!!

@@ImRJHead love that man! Thank you! I’m actually super excited to get back for the 2nd instalment which is the week after next. Engine will stripped for the video! 🙌🏾🙌🏾! Make sure you enjoy your car this summer!

@@S3Ranj boost also varies by IAT. On a hot day more boost is required to achieve the same performance so the turbo has to work harder / generates more heat

@darrinscoilsclouds1498 For the new Q5, they annoyingly changed it to Haldex. You're right. It was always a proper AWD system, was the case for the A4, too.

@@S3Ranj no, they may have changed from a torsion set up. But it's still not a haldex system. Haldex is front wheel drive bias with the motor mounted like that it can't be.

@@fachim-t8480 I’m not a fan of 4x4s, so I’m not going to try say anything 😂

@@phiIiptx it’s actually relatively nippy. Whilst I don’t think it was done for the intention of speed, it does actually make the car good for efficiency.

@@neil1997 That I genuinely didn’t know. Which one?

@@S3Ranj late T6s (w/haldex) and T7s en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Multivan_(T7)

@@neil1997 no way! I proper want a T6 one day.

@@S3Ranj you want the V6 with 300ps 😁

Wait….WHAT?! Seat, VW, Skoda, VW, and Audi are all part of the same group?! 🤯 🤣

your forgetting a few more…

@@nme_cs2 Bugatti, Ducati, Porsche, Bentley..that’s genuinely all I know.

Spot on 🙌🏾

It was. But, 95% of the time, it was driven around in the med boost setting, so around 1.9-2 bar at 520bhp. High boost was 2.2 I think, or 2.1.

@@S3Ranj Did the engine blow on high boost? I know if you want reliable power you need to forge but if you ran medium boost and never high boost. Do you think it would have blown? Or would you have to go low boost like 1.7-1.8 bar to not blow the motor eventually?

@@johnboy2436 The engine blew when I took it back to get an additional map, which was a race fuel map. When it blew, it running just over 2.2 bar of boost. It’s hard to say whether it would have blown if I didn’t get the additional map, I genuinely do not know. I drove it for a solid year, no issues. I think a safe power, following my conversation with Nathan would be 1.9 bar at a MAX! Also make sure you have all the other supporting mods, and you keep up with maintenance. I think it should be good. Whatever you do, drive it, and enjoy it! You having it at 1.7-1.9 should be fine. Nathan’s S3 was 530BHP 1.9 bar and it’s still fine to this day. From what I recall anyway.

If we take my exact set up for example, I’d say around 500-520BHP.

@@liamrochford3649 Fair, it is valved, so you have the ability to make it very quiet. Thanks!

I can’t comment on that. But, I focused on the handling first, as the car handled horrible from stock.

I partially agree. My car for instance hadn’t been driven hard. I regret not doing so. I use to drive it like a queen all the time. A real waste. There are too many variables though. My brother has an RS3 8P, much higher mileage than mine, driven hard, and it’s fine. Like I said, there are many variables. Nathan touched on maintenance, boost pressure, other modifications etc. So to answer your question, quite simply, because there are people out there with cars that are near double the power. It is straight forward, and it isn’t. Depending on the context.

@@S3Ranj yeh I agree the variables are there but pushing more power will always put more wear on the components which will lead to prematurely failures. One way to look at it is say someone has a 500hp one and it lasts 100k miles before failure then it was probably a good one that would do 200k plus

@@nickthegriffin I do partially agree with you, like I said. There are other things too, that play in people’s thought process, such as, risk versus reward. In any case, I’m glad my engine will be future proofed, so to speak.

@@S3Ranj yeh that's also a good way to look at it 👍 I'm old as f 😂 been doing this for years & although technology has changed as the Americans like to say " no replacement for displacement" 2.0l 4 cylinder will always be a balancing act when looking for performance

​@@nickthegriffin Ha, very true indeed! Thanks for watching, really appreciate it.

Never a bad thing to have the knowledge!

Stage 2 innit 😂

@@TandTProject LMAO! At first I was like what does he mean…but it’s the first time I’ve used two mics!

Yessir!

The amount of air the turbo pushes into the engine.

@@incognito96 ah nice thank you

Adding onto this, in this video they used bar, 1 bar is around 14.5psi.

2.2 will actually be fine for the built engine, just not a stock engine.

I've learnt that there are so many factors to consider. Boost pressure clearly has a lot to do with it.

1.9 bar 506 bhp, 2 track days and no issues touch wood!! But I look after it and no silly pops and bangs or launching. Great video.

@@ck6uk that sounds sensible. Thanks man!

Thanks bro 👊

As VD said…”quarter mile at a time” 🏁

Noted for the next video!

Interesting. That is probably what I want around 600bhp. I don't want anymore out of this car tbh. Just seen your videos, good stuff!

@S3Ranj 200 bhp per cylinder is getting there. Like he says there are many variables but oil pressure is the most important thing to stop the rods touching the crank bearing. 600bhp should be safe all day if done properly. My ttrs is built for 300bhp per cylinder....that won't last but I'm OK with that 🤣

@S3Ranj thanks for checking out the videos man 💪

If that’s what you took from the whole video…HELP!

Incorrect, that quote was “simple logic” referring to the more you compress air, the hotter it will get as molecules are forced closer together (basic physics) Regardless of air to fuel ratios, that increase in boost will always see a hotter mixture. This is why we see increased exhaust gas temperatures as we increase the boost - the more power you extract, the more heat it will generate with the same afr ratio As for “the more heat due to pre ignition” - pre-ignition is a result of increased cylinder/piston temperature, not a reason for increased cylinder temperatures. It is a pre-spark combustion caused by fuel igniting prematurely as a result of cylinder temps exceeding the lower heating value of the fuel used

I can't comment, as I didn't do well in Physics! 😅

If pre-igntion was the sole cause for more heat I dont think the intercooler would be before the air reaches the engine..... 😂 Its almost like compressing air does indeed cause it to heat up 🤔 hence why the more boost you run the larger/higher density of intercooler you want to run to keep intake air temps as close to ambient as possible.

Thank you mate!

😂😂😂 based on what? Our extremely good reputation? Quite slanderous comments there buddy - care to elaborate?

@@wosa9461 Welcome to the internet! 😁

From my experience, and things I've heard, I'm not concerned. I'm confident my car will come back better!

Sounds like a shout. VRS, EcoTune, Ares, all sensible from what I've heard. Thank you man!
