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.

[@MrMillenium67]

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

[@A-DUBCLUB]

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

[@RawkustvOfficial]

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

[@TomCalilaphitherepeople]

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

[@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..

[@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.👌👍😁😁😁😁

[@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

[@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...

[@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 👏🏻

[@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👍

[@Taoukiif]

Needs a new exhaust

[@poyhju2]

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

[@chrisdooley6468]

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

[@24Kawai]

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

[@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 👍

[@Kingdonnerkebab]

RS6 next please James 😎😈

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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. 👍

[@A-DUBCLUB]

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

[@alanbooth7280]

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

[@Spendarellaa]

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

[@SciroccoThePunisher]

Pocket Rocket!!

[@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.

[@HammerRocks]

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

[@lewishammett8264]

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

[@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?

[@44_Mark]

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

[@jasonbrook2268]

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

[@rohanp7051]

The yellow suits it so well!

[@faisalleeds]

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

[@IlCanaleDegliEroi]

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

[@mo-hammadabunaser1367]

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

[@MrJWW]

Imagine! Mental rally spec S1! 😱

[@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.

[@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👌🏻

[@CE11SCAN]

310bhp in thats gonna be nuts

[@joecooper3073]

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

[@Dododude96]

Love this Little beast Enjoy your tune man !

[@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.

[@garoarabian3017]

Love these cars simply because they come in manual transmission 😊

[@richieduck67]

Love this little beast good to see it get an upgrade

[@richardhurr31]

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

[@mrmoloch4033]

Great storytelling.

[@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.

[@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

[@leeshear2652]

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

[@AndersonHDx]

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

[@MrJWW]

😄 Welcome!

[@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

[@elvisgonzalez7YT]

Yeeeees, Love the S1

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@vmvg7564]

Next you should make the front grill black!

[@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

[@Pickchore]

See you at the party Richter.

[@joshuawatson1604]

Give us a garage tour !

[@jamesavickers5961]

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

[@hdmk213]

Your best car, love to see it tuned!

[@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.

[@jdv9665]

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

[@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?

[@crispyworldtoday]

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

[@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

[@supercardan2740]

There is people on instagram with s1’s pushing 400 and 500 bhp 😱

[@rv9990]

Dan Alleyne MTM (another audi tuner) makes a S1 with a 5-cilinder TTRS block! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hni0dYuVfsiVo9k

[@rinzinnamgyal4335]

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

[@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

[@cordes85]

id like Mighty Car Mods to actually put an Audi S3 engine swap into the S1, and remap that engine ECU, Strip as much metal as possible for carbon fibre bonnet, panels, roof, take the back seats out, and put the S1 engine in the Back, have 2 engines lol. I have seen it done before.

[@cmphoto_]

How the hell do you only have 388k subs

[@MrJWW]

Only been going 2 years - all in good time 😄 thanks for the support 👊🏻

[@domivoe]

Please collab with Daniel Abt. I think you two would get along pretty well 😊

[@jimclements3190]

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

[@jameshounslow7013]

Just one more mod to do..... Remove the sticker from the back window. Can’t understand why dealers put it there, it blocks a big chunk of the screen when looking in the mirror, not safe. Anyway, another great vid, thanks!

[@Rubenmeij]

Make it your project car! Would be awesome 😄

[@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

[@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?

[@schubioncars]

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

[@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.

[@mikezg3471]

Thanks for talking warranty too :)

[@samporter4882]

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

[@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.

[@CarObsession]

That certainly looks like a good way to hoon about!

[@JLo9668]

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

[@julianhindson1241]

Inspired to get tuning on my Octavia VRS now...

[@abishkdesai]

Next the exhaust 😄

[@enorrie1462]

Love it James, next up is the wrap.

[@howheattt1067]

Neat little fun car!

[@iantodd5807]

Told you they were good lol. By the way the warranty isn't brilliant, look at the small print as mine said it covered the vehicle for 2 years from first registration. When the clutch went on mine at 30k they weren't interested 😊

[@neilridsdale7617]

The NSA warranty is a complete backup of the Manufacturers warranty, It is in place should a manufacturer legally reject a claim, then the NSA will take on the claim etc, The Policy is very comprehensive etc, However the Clutch is regarded as a "wear and tear" item by the manufacturer, Audi themselves do not cover the clutch (unless its due to oil contamination etc) as its wear and tear. And Therefore the NSA can't cover as its a Backup of the Manufacturers warranty when the Manufacturer does not cover it in standard trim if this makes sense, . However the ABT tuning is not as aggressive as most tunings on here, and we have only ever in all of our years ever seen a couple of cases in the whole of Europe of cars requiring a clutch in the many S1's we have tuned!!

[@Jushwa]

That’s the right kind of car to go down the “tuning hole” with.

[@MiniEggs1999]

RS1 - JWW - Edition

[@tshepotyson5323]

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

[@01phantomx]

£4235.56 is the quote I just got for same map and their exhaust ! Is that right. Nuts money!

[@Kompoism]

Hot hatch tour 2.0... This is the car!

[@STEVEBHPDEVON]

Now it just needs a exhaust:-) good job James:-)

[@dolphinoegglet7263]

This car is so rare I thought it was sold.
