AUDI S3 Stage 2+ HOW TO INSTALL and DYNO Pulls!!!! [4K]

[@cheynemyles517]

This is the best video I found for helping install the downpipe on my 2016 A3, his attention to detail and showing exactly what to do and how was amazing. Nice job buddy!

[@BlakesGarage]

Oh course, you came to [e-mail] garage I give you all the details. Also, I ended up doing this in my driveway by myself when I reverted the car back to stock so it is doable on jackstands.

[@apancher]

You know you have a good shop when they use a Mustang dyno. They're going for honest, repeatable numbers, not BS. Great video! I am looking for an S3 and to do this exact setup.

[@killer_vette351]

These numbers are still extremely low. I guess every dyno is different but a guy with his S3 in Texas just made 375whp on a mustang dyno. They translated it to dynojet numbers (the shop) and it was 422whp. He is stage 2 e30 like me. I’m 400whp as well. 3 of my buddies all made 270-280whp completely stock as well

102 octane *. That’s why europe is so much better in terms of fuel. But honestly I wouldn’t care since yours is a lot cheaper and it runs the car as well.

I do agree with you , I feel like there is something wrong with the power!!! My Leon Cupra gave me 258 (stock) after installing cold intake , downpipe, RS7 spark plus , RS3 ignition coils , JB4 tune , it gave me 320 on map 1 and 340 on map 3 , now I'm waiting to customize map 6 and see what are the Gain. May I know what is APR gain on stage 2?

Those numbers are to the wheel not to the crank, a stock s3 of that year would be around 290 to the crank so that is a huge increase , he’s probably about 400 hp to the crank right now

[@davidetorriglia1994]

In europe with 100octane fuel on MAHA you have around 300 whp. On DINO 320/330…. The difference is MAHA AND DINO. This is a car that can produce 370 to 390 bhp in stage 2.

[@gazza8596]

In uk you get a stage 1 plus and it took my Audi Quattro 1.8 tfsi pfl to 245 whp and 380fpt I think stock it’s 177whp and 250fpt crazy numbers for not being a stage 2 on a 1.8

Never got a CEL but the car is tuned and that is a requirement for doing something like this.

To be brutally honest these numbers are not great at all. I'm from South Africa and have a 2016 Golf 7R and with just a plug and play tune box i made 238wkw (319whp) and 488Nm (360ft lb) i went to two different dynos after that and the numbers only differed by about 3whp and 7ft lb. I decided to have 3 icn downpipe installed and went back to the first dyno where i got the first figures with my plug and play tune box and my numbers jumped to 252wkw (338whp) and 519Nm (382ft lb). The owner of the tuning shop where i was put a downpipe and stage 2 tune on his wife's 2018 Audi S3 and got 281wkw (376whp) and 544Nm (401ft lb). This is only downpipe and stage 2 tune with no other hardware mods.

[@UtubeRage]

Ooooh you’re running 91 octane!?? Now it makes sense haha. Apr stage 2 is usually giving 340whp and 370wtq...hell even apr stage 1 high torque is putting over 330whp....

[@BlakesGarage]

Yeah those APR numbers seem inflated like there off a dynojet or something. The real thing you have to look at is the deltas from stock. Also yeah I’m on 91 oct and it was pretty hot out around 95 degrees. He also drove the car around a bit before putting it back on the dyno so it was getting a bit heat soaked.

[@Walter_HW]

APR numbers are fake because they wrongly apply power correction factor. Accordingly SAE J 1349, item 5.5.2: "BOOSTED ENGINES SHALL NOT BE CORRECTED for ambient barometric pressure". They inflate the results as if the engine was naturally aspirated one, which loses power due to altitude above sea level and air temperature over 25°C(77°F) as standard parameters. That's a devious and corrupt way to sell fake horsepower.

This is a Mustang dyno which is one of the lowest reading of brands on the market as far as numbers go. So mustang dyno to Dyno jet Conversion I’d make 10 to 12% more power.

[@vroomgc]

An Intercooler doesn't add hp it just makes sure you don't lose hp to heat soak.

[@aimerful]

??? look it up, an intercooler gives pretty decent gains in performance. without an aftermarket IC everything gets way to hot which just limits the turbo.

[@vroomgc]

@@aimerful I dont have to look it up. You just said what I said. It prevents heat soak so that you dont lose hp. It doesnt gain you hp!

[@aimerful]

vroomgc bro are u okay? If you are losing horsepower TO heatsoak because of a stock or bad intercooler, and then you install an aftermarket IC and gain/increase in HP numbers, that’s essentially still increasing performance/hp

[@aimerful]

YES YOU WILL NEED AN INTERCOOLER...after one hard pull your car will heat soak and you will be down 30whp automatically....specially worse in the summer. The stock intercoolers are so small it’s a joke!

NIce videos, but count how many times you say "go ahead and"... its unnecessary filler that means nothing but distraction from otherwise good videos... PS, I've got a Stage II S3 with almost the full catalog of 034 Chassis and suspension parts, but APR intake and down pipe and Unitronic ECU/TCU.. did my first 0-60 a bit up hill and with a passenger at 3.6 seconds which I was pretty thrilled with (93 octane). Next challenge is getting it to corner properly. Even after all the mods, still understeers like a pig, even on 255 tires.

[@BlakesGarage]

Rear sway bar full stiff should help that. Also front camber plates.

[@spinnetti]

@@BlakesGarage Thanks. Done both, Neuspeed endlinks, and actually running less than stock negative camber in the rear too. I road race and modify everything, but this still doesn't corner as well as my 13' bug or MKV Jetta or virtually any other car I've ever had. It's great up to 7/10ths or so, then goes numb beyond that. Very frustrating. I've got 18x8.5 wide ET35 wheels which widens the track a lot, but that wasn't enough. Got some 18x9 ET30s to go on next. Gonna run stagger 265/235 I think, and do a bit of toe out (relative to stock), and loosen everything and see if I can squeeze a bit more camber out of the front. I might move the battery to the front of the trunk too. On the Bug or Jetta with similar mods, you could just dive into a corner hard, lift off and the car starts to rotate. Nail the throttle as you hit the apex and a beautiful drift ensues.. Its really a blast. Gonna keep at it until I can it to rotate.... PS, getting the DP out without a lift was a huge PITA I just gave up and sawzalled it in half to take it out (putting the new one in was easy)... did all my mods on the garage floor lol.

that car should be making 400whp on 2wd dyno.

[@aaronp9835]

If this were mine you i would do an intake, DP, exhaust, slightly larger twin scroll turbo/intercooler, injectors and tune. Probably make 350-400 awhp easily. The some 19/265/40 Carbon fiber wheels and carbon driveshaft for about 60 pounds less rotational mass. 😁👍😌. But i still own a 1991 Supra with a 1JZ rocking a Garett GTX3071R , full boltons, HKS stg 1 cams , plus full fuel and ignition. Have clutch, flywheel, lsd, 4 piston 300zx front brakes and coil overs. Makes 330whp at only 13.5psi. The HKS cams help a bit on the mid/top end. Gonna do some forged rods/pstons soon and jack the boost up. Shooting for 450-550whp. Also have fully custom interior; seats, gauges, door panels etc... as It sits now with 330 wheel horsepower it beats my buddies stage IIISTI and also my buddies 2016 mustang GT 5.0 with an intake.

[@BoostedIntegra]

Lol 3071r is too big of a turbo for only 300whp on the 1J. You also don’t need a bigger turbo to make 350-400whp on the s3 and you certainly don’t need to do anything with the direct injectors. Full bolt ons and port injection/lpfp for e85 will get you there easily.
