Audi S1 Gets Audi S3 POWER! 310hp ABT Tune!

[@tommy2x4_]

Time to ABT the RS6 😎

[@LaGantoise]

Somewhere next month.. "I am on the road once again to Richter for an ABT treatment with the RS6."

[@MrJWW]

Ha ha probably! 😂

[@IonactiveConsulting]

Litchfield RS6 upgrade - I recommend it :)

[@depechem0demusic]

Not quite so cool is informing the insurance company of the modification

[@tadassimasevicius9641]

Willy Lamb I think better ecu remap, piggyback is useless compared to ecu remap, piggyback not delivers a power like custom ecu remap does

[@AutomotiveMike]

Power banana!

[@Pickchore]

Automotive Mike - That's what she said.

[@PBazBarrett]

Nice one James, takes me back!.. in 2001 my S3 8L warranty was ending, and I went down that route.. Still got it garaged up today.. Perfect!.. Its been covered up since 2002!.. Still like new with super low milage.. Watching this has inspired me.. Looking forward to using it again, it deserves a blast out!. Great video Thanks for sharing..

[@TomCalilaphitherepeople]

mr.jww make a garage video or garage update pleeease we want to see your car collection

[@RawkustvOfficial]

O Boiiiii! The gates of TUNE have opened and there is an RS6 shaped black hole just on the other side. (:

[@MrMillenium67]

Now do the same to your RS6 James, you know it make sense! ;)

[@OfficiallyGuChi]

MrMillennium67.. yeh dude.. if he tunes the rs6.. i believe it adds a further 100 hp.. just from tuning.. correct me if im wrong.. thats the results from a rs4 or s4 tune.. something along those lines

[@1fab976]

even more! the ABT RS6-R has 730 HP (:

[@marijnvanvliet9957]

Ever drove a rs6? crazy fast. Fast enough.

[@tadassimasevicius9641]

1fab 97 Abt rs + made specially from abt, piggyback is just a piggyback that adds more power, I think if you buy just a piggyback and want 700hp on rs 6 you pay about 7k eur it’s just insane money, better to make ecu remap for 1k eur and save other moneys for other modifications

[@tunes4life]

Love to see genuine happiness from the work and time you put in your cars... never over the top... just pure natural stuff at all times...

[@stuartrichardson6309]

Great little car. Reminds me of my days at the garage when we would fight over the keys for the Peugeot GTI 1.9 they where like skateboards with engines the smiles plentiful.👌👍😁😁😁😁

[@qutya1]

Really liked this style as you showed the process throughout the video and not all in once! Great video as always, James! Greetings from Hungary!

[@lapamful]

Wow James, been waiting for this video for two years or something, ever since you introduced this car! Awesome mate!

[@MrJWW]

Ha ha I guess it was going to happen at some point!

[@poyhju2]

Excited to see some more content with you exploring the world of tuning..

[@mbangs81]

Enjoyed that, good work James 👍🏻

[@Lc-vz9cc]

Great video as always James. I’ve been looking to tune my wife’s nearly new S3 saloon but was concerned with the warranty issue, this has given me another option! Great work, keep up the brilliant content 👍

[@robertmaddock1813]

Really enjoyed how you edited the modifying and driving in this video. Difficult to be original but you continue to achieve this.... great stuff fella.

[@SortaProfessional89]

You HAVE to do the same mods to you're RS6!

[@Spartan168]

mattybeatzkidd your* how the hell did you get that wrong

[@SortaProfessional89]

Anthony no one cares

[@chrisdooley6468]

God I wish we got these here in the states. This must be seriously fast w that much torque.

[@IlCanaleDegliEroi]

dont think I've ever been so early, great to see the s1 back on the channel. Ciao!

[@24Kawai]

I’d keep an eye on the clutch. I’ve heard that they go from the extra power from remaps

[@OfficiallyGuChi]

Finally big bro has joined the tuning family!! U car will have massive balls now.. so to speak

[@d0718]

I feel like there is an empty niche for tuning content amongst the youtubers.. buying a car like the S1 or maybe up to the RS6 and tuning it with ABT, MTM, Brabus (in case of Mercs), Hamann (BMW) etc is even cheaper than buying a supercar and doing the usual ppf-exhaust-wrap content, yet far more novel. Thank you James 👏🏻

[@HammerRocks]

What's the new 0-100kph (0-62mph), and 80-100kph time?

[@faisalleeds]

Great video James, good to see you take the leap into tuning

[@ActivisionUK]

i noticed at 11:27 you can see the middle resonator on your exhaust system, you need that removing for a straight piece of pipe! can be done at most garages for as little as £80, a place local to you James where i had my Golf R resonator taken out is ‘1 Stop Motorsport’ in Crewe (Third Avenue, CW1 6XL). It really opens the cars exhaust note up and is the best “bang for your buck” upgrade you can do on an S1/S3/Golf R etc.

[@AW-oi3oe]

I’ve recently got an S1 as my second car, is this worth doing or is the difference barely noticeable?

[@Taoukiif]

Needs a new exhaust

[@SciroccoThePunisher]

Pocket Rocket!!

[@tonywalters5396]

I also just started this journey in seeking a bit more engine emotional release as I call it and did this to my TT RS plus intercooler and decat. Results are amazing from a 2.5 engine. Try the RS6 on a stage 2 and you will be hooked on tuning.

[@D_pawson]

Why bother waiting for Amazon or BBC to churn out 7 episodes a year when there's content like this every few days👍

[@ruimarques_]

That breathes a bit more life back into it and makes it even more enjoyable.. Plus great video, running us through the whole process. 👍

[@tdimac]

Same power as my ED30 golf so I can guarantee some extra smiles per gallon. Love the fact it still looks almost standard like my flog. I've always been about the Q car look. Top marks 💪👍😍 the extra fun factor will have you and your good lady arguing over who has the keys.

[@44_Mark]

Congrats on the modifications. Bet she feels awesome round those B roads. Fantastic car 👊🏻👍🏻

[@Dododude96]

Love this Little beast Enjoy your tune man !

[@baptoufragilise]

I love this car and the color. These little mods makes it almost perfect! I think it might need a bit more exhaust sound 😉 awesome video James as always! Keep it up! Cheers from France

[@AndersonHDx]

How have I just came across this channel?? love the video. New subscriber!!

[@MrJWW]

😄 Welcome!

[@Kingdonnerkebab]

RS6 next please James 😎😈

[@SamAustin]

Great Video love the little hot hatch ! How much does it cost for the ECU upgrade?

[@nicksimpson23]

Awesome video as usual. Your watch is amazing, is it an AP watch?

[@MrJWW]

Thanks! Yes good spot the watch is an AP Royal Oak Offshore Diver 👍🏻

[@nicksimpson23]

Mr JWW haha thought so they are such a beautiful watch, I could never afford one though😂🤣.

[@D_pawson]

Just googled it and jaw dropped at cost. Worth more than ruddy car. Arnt they good investment tho.

[@nicksimpson23]

D P definitely, they are also a piece of art IMO.

[@PoloDaBear]

Used watches are never worth more than new ones unless they're very special limited editions, definitely not an investment.

[@jasonbrook2268]

The S1 is Awesome car you have made it even better .

[@lewishammett8264]

8:23 goes to paddle down🤣 awesome video and awesome car!

[@alanbooth7280]

Richter tuned my Pirelli Edition Golf GTi to about 300bhp and it flies. Enjoy

[@jdv9665]

Yeahhh🔝 i’ve waited this video for so long!

[@leeshear2652]

Great Video, like you say it gets addictive. 500hp S1 anyone 😜

[@camd3041]

I'm really happy to see you doing modifications to cars now, I think you would be very surprised at what else you could do to the S1.... or a different 20k hot hatch.

[@Spendarellaa]

I can’t believe this was the last S1 video you did.

[@CarToneHK]

I'd have gone for a full KW V3 coilover set so the low speed compression can be custom adjust for a relatively comfy ride while maintaining the a good body control coupled with a lower ride height

[@Ewanm9389]

haha James i love how pretty much every gear change your hands went for the paddles first, anyway keep up the great work man.

[@richardhurr31]

That's a massive jump in power. Car should feel transformed.

[@joecooper3073]

Now it’s a proper pocket rocket, great job👍

[@AdamLeask]

I've been hoping that you'd get the ABT tune for ages. Good going, bet it's a hoot to drive!

[@tadassimasevicius9641]

Adam Leask and why not custom ecu remap?

[@johnrayner2744]

Mr JWW - Engine upgrade & performance clutch in working progress - Sold because of the very nature of an Audi sport R&D & Heritage - It's not all about the BHP, it's how you deliver the longlivity & engine life, with the added bonus of emissions control - These boys know what their doing !

[@johnrayner2744]

Just had the ABT Controller & performance clutch fitted, all good & definitely performing as it should have done before leaving the showroom from new - Yes 80 BHP Does make difference in all gears with an extremely smooth delivery

[@richieduck67]

Love this little beast good to see it get an upgrade

[@schubioncars]

13:00 this is why we love you James! :D awesome content buddy!!! as always... :D

[@WiZe1972]

We’re lucky here in Switzerland as ABT is covered by the official Audi warranty and the mod is done on their dealership 😬

[@AJtheSwede]

WiZe1972 Really? That's awesome👌🏻

[@paddymicklefield1381]

Welcome to our world James! You’d be surprised just how far you can take tuning on turbo’d Audi’s. My 2007 RS4 B7 which is NA, is now stage 3 tuned producing 630 horses at the crank. 20 more than my V10 plus. Which thrills me more?......The B7. If it had the 7 speed Dual Clutch?...😵omg. Your welcome to test it anytime

[@rohanp7051]

The yellow suits it so well!

[@jimcole5359]

Ah, tuning, the ultimate expression of one's self in a car. I do have a couple of suggestions for you though James. First and foremost, upgrade the brakes. You have to be able to stop ;-) Second, upgrade suspension so that you can add adjustable shocks which will allow you to weight balance the car for more precise control and safety. If the audio of this video is any indication, you might want to consider an exhaust upgrade as well hehehe. Beautiful content as always James. Looking forward to the next vid.

[@hdmk213]

Your best car, love to see it tuned!

[@crastinator_pro]

If you are running out of tuning ideas for the S1 you should talk to Jon Olsson. I think he is the go to guy for sensible tuning ideas and subtle modifications.

[@Franksey180]

Great work James, would have liked to have heard what the "before and after" torque figures were as that is the shove that you really feel in the mid range on boost. On older generation Haldex / Quattro cars it's possible to pull a fuse to simply disable the 4WD and run the car as FWD so it's easy to put the car on a conventional dyno and get accurate power/torque readings without any power losses through the prop shaft to the rear wheels/diff.

[@rinzinnamgyal4335]

Awesome Mr JWW.. lots of love frm TIBET 🥂🥂🥂

[@robertangela1077]

great car! nice greetings from bavaria. I had the aec last friday installed. now only the suspension is missing - as you can see in the picture ... it's already ordered😎 the pass roads of the alps are waiting

[@mo-hammadabunaser1367]

RALLYE BUILD!! BRING BACK GROUP B QUATTRO MADNESS!!

[@MrJWW]

Imagine! Mental rally spec S1! 😱

[@elvisgonzalez7YT]

Yeeeees, Love the S1

[@samclarke8819]

As a stock S1 owner it now looks like I need these mods!

[@skullman290400]

The only way I could do that was if you had to do a little more work and I would be happy with it but you have a hard day and you don’t want me working on your day so you don’t want me doing that so you can get it all over with your own thing I would be fine if I was just a bit of work but you can just come in at any moment I would just have you work and you could do whatever I want to but you don’t want me working with your other work so you have a hard day to do so you don’t want me working with your own job so I can do whatever I can work with your other stuff but you have a lot more than that would make me a little more than you can handle that would make you a little more than what you can handle the rest is just to make sure that would make it to work and then I don’t know how to handle that I just don’t want you can just be careful with

[@MrAnderson321]

Great upload!!...really enjoyed that whilst having my lunch. 👌

[@oscarpozuelo6578]

Hello, I have an audi q7 4m 3.0tdi 272cv Abt control unit from 2015 that was installed in another similar Q7. Could you decode again?

[@shanescarlife]

Damn. Now i'll have to tune my S4. Can't have that little S1 in the same power range! Thanks for making me spend money, James.... Lol

[@MaxPower-zp7wy]

Mr JWW. Just subscribed to your channel. Love the videos. Could you find someone who has a Porsche 959 or even rarer 959 Sport which was incredible for it's day and is more so iconic and special even today. It's a very special car and probably the original father of the modern supercar. The technologies this car demonstrated were unheard of in the 1980s. Porsche 959. Beautiful.

[@mikezg3471]

Thanks for talking warranty too :)

[@grahamcardwell5947]

Oh good choice James if you want to do a little comparison video feel free to borrow my mountune focus RS 375bhp but a little heavier and totally different all wheel drive system

[@tshepotyson5323]

Love your videos MR JWW. You inspire me a lot.

[@CE11SCAN]

310bhp in thats gonna be nuts

[@cnmperformance8414]

Love these videos! Keep pushing James!🔥🔥

[@jimclements3190]

Yeeeeesssss! Brilliant affordable content,,right where are my S1keys,"just popping down to ABT wont be long dear".lol

[@enorrie1462]

Love it James, next up is the wrap.

[@garoarabian3017]

Love these cars simply because they come in manual transmission 😊

[@snsofhumor]

Please mention the consumption/co2 change and if u have to use higher octane fuel from now on.

[@MrJWW]

CO2 stays identical to stock Car amazingly. ABT have to adhere to strict German emissions laws.

[@K5SSY]

@@MrJWW how much is the ECU upgrade on the S1 please?

[@mrmoloch4033]

Great storytelling.

[@willpettit9370]

Looks great James, the only think you need to do now is get to signature group and have the mirror caps, front grill, and badges blacked out. Keep up the great vids ;))

[@marchatrenaud1577]

I also have an audi s1 ABT with lower suspension... wilkl you change the exhaust as well ?

[@crispyworldtoday]

Awesome video! Do you need to upgrade your brakes or are the original brakes good enough to stop the extra amount of power?

[@jamesavickers5961]

Think this is my favourite car of your collection love it grazie Mille ciao

[@Zed_Zone]

Awesome informative vid... Did the brakes need to be changed? Also how about a garage update... Is the 458 the only supercar in there at the mo?

[@IonactiveConsulting]

Another brilliant video

[@vmvg7564]

Next you should make the front grill black!

[@archimikebilll]

Hehe, yes James, I started with just the exhaust in my mini gp, then upgrade with ohlins coilover, sway bars, air intake, tune stage 2, now going for a full forged internal and new clutch. Welcome to the blackhole! Haha

[@JLo9668]

Cannot love this video enough!! @mrjww did you need to upgrade the clutch?

[@JohnSmith-fu3ec]

How much was the tune? I heard that the audi S1 has a weak clutch. Did you have to change it?

[@CarObsession]

That certainly looks like a good way to hoon about!

[@scoobygregwrx]

What I want to know is how much did that all cost and what does it do to the mpg? I am genuinely interested in having this done to my S1. Many thanks

[@Jcstuart1]

Did you ever pursue this further? I’m now looking at the same for my S1

[@381jot]

Did you have to upgrade the clutch or was it OK with the factory one?

[@StopTimeToEnjoy]

amazing video BUT DAMN THOSE SUNNIES ARE SLEEK ASF 🔥🔥🔥

[@Rubenmeij]

Make it your project car! Would be awesome 😄

[@gunbunny1125]

Does anyone have any ideas as what I could possibly do to my 1.5 a3 i had a look at tuning but it says only 1.4 to 1.6 or would they do a 1.5? Cheers guys

[@Pickchore]

See you at the party Richter.

[@samporter4882]

Yeah do a Garage walk around at your house ! would be awesome

[@s1dew1nd3r4]

How has the clutch been since this?

[@paulfrost3501]

This the last vid on the A1 abt What happened to it ?

[@abishkdesai]

Next the exhaust 😄

[@fn_kurt1190]

Yellow is cool and i know this car is mainly your wife’s car, but it would be awesome if you and your wife came up with a new colour to wrap it that you both agree on, other then that, awesome video, always love the style of your video’s :)
