From Stock to Monster: An in-depth tuning Guide of the EA888 Engine

[@volkssturm9694]

I have a 2018 Audi S3 8V.5 with the beefed up version of the Ea888 gen 3. It truly is a BEAST of an engine. Besides that, the MQB chassis caters to exceptional handling and feel. I just completed my stage 2 with 034 motorsport and I am so satisfied with it. I should be right around 400 HP, my car is stupid quick to 60 mph (3.8 sec) and quarter mile at 11.9 Sec. If maintained properly including DSG/ haldex fluids, frequent high quality oil changes, (5w-40 Liquimoly) and proper spark plugs ( Im running dense IKH-24) these cars are very reliable. Im at 55,000 miles and I have never had a single check engine light and I drive my S3 hard. Nice video, Cheers from SC, USA

Totally agree I'm big turbo putting down over 500whp and not had one issue runs like the day I got the car!

[@17nano3]

BEWARE.... you are running the notorious RS7 plug. They are well known for breaking & taking out the cylinder & turbo from the porcelain bouncing around on the way out. I lost mine with this exact plug, I changed plugs 2x/yr (3-5k miles) I was good from 40k-65k before my luck ran out.

@@17nano3 wrong I’m not running RS7 Plugs I’m running Denso IKH-24 Might wanna check your head on that lol

[@17nano3]

@@volkssturm9694 the ikh24 is the same temp rating as an rs7 plug. I had 2 ikh24 plugs break & score cylinders 1&3. Search the difference between the ikh24 & rs7 plugs

I'll get the 2024 kodiaq with 2.0TSI EA888 gen 3B miller cycle. 204hp out the factory, about 50 additional hp with a tune - nothing crazy. I think it's enough for most application. It's a family SUV at the end of the day..

[@bcshay]

good vid. EA888.3 with hybrid turbo, MPI, LPFP, on E85, and your standard bolt on’s get you an easy and safe 500 whp. The torque is really the limiting factor here depending on how long you want the stock block to last. Also need to worry about stock dsg clutch packs are usually fine in this range too. GTI can make this same power and has the edge in a roll over a golf R. The gen 4 is showing amazing results thus far on just stage 1 and an intake.

[@pudermcgavin4462]

Would like more on the 1.8 version though I know most crosses over basics wise!

[@SoGReeZ1y]

i love too see

[@2001pulsar]

7R, e85, big boost, goes whoosh! 💪

[@TheCinderellaman10]

I have the CJXH engine version in my 2016 pfl Seat Cupra 290. It has the extra 4 mpi in the intake manifold with injector rail

[@imaudizz]

Ea888 FTW ! over 500whp and still going strong!

[@atom608]

Also TCU tune does add another 50lb of torque down low due to TCU limiting torque. That alone is worth it too

[@ukwan]

I have an A4 TFSI Quattro with CYRB.. which is a Gen 3, comes with MPI in EU. Looking to tune one day.

[@RSXengineering]

Makes effortless power Has DSG and Manual options Very stout and reliable Affordable maintenance Looks good Good gas mileage What else do you need really?

[@bukwheeet]

Looking at an Arteon that has the gen 4. Can you do a stage two upgrade and get similar performance? I know it’s a heavier car but would I need to beef up something else to account for weight?

[@DrewSwansonn]

not sure if this is known, but the new 2021+ models use the EA888.4 or the EVO4 engine, not a gen 3

[@simongruber8366]

great video. DO you have the link for 6:30 maybe? Thanks

[@oscaravendano9332]

can the same be said for the gli i know it shares same engine

[@fedjadrndarski5606]

Gen3 is one of the best if not the best modern 4 cylinder turbo. I have Mk6 GTI with K04 hybrid upgrade on gen 2 engine, timing chain, balance shafts and intake manifold updated, it has abou 370HP and it is one quick economical beast, gen 3 is even beter, less oil consumption.

[@atom608]

Hey if you are having issues with oil consumption look up b-12 piston soak videos on youtube about it for 2L vw engines. Seen people go from 1L per 300-500 miles to not needing to top up at all until they change the oil. This is due to the oil control rings getting stuck.

[@chrisss2630]

EA113 2.0 TFSI its true beast 😉😉

[@mikepollastrelli7725]

I have a mk5 gti fsi unitronic k04 stage 2+ kit. At 134,000 miles it eats it up. 340 hp/tq. Conservative tune but its a beast

[@PhilippeLetangPoirier]

Do tsi 1.8
