HOW TO BUILD A 500PS+ 8P RS3 [STAGE 3, HYBRID TURBO, WAVETRAC LSD, BILSTEIN, VERKLINE & MORE]

Do you want 500PS+ from your 8P RS3? This customer dropped off his 8P RS3 after wanting to go to Stage 3. Stage 3 typically entails a larger turbocharger, amongst other supporting upgrades.
This customer commented on oil consumption, which mixed with our pre-tuning health checks and oil in the intake and in the engine bay lead us to believe that there were issues in the bottom end and before we could install the upgrades or tune, we should investigate and possibly build the engine.
Upon inspection, the bores showed wear and material transfer. The decision was made to oversize the bore and install Mahle Motorsport pistons and forged connecting rods to solve the issues and upgrade away from the factory items which can fail with the higher output. All of the associated tolerances were checked and adjusted as required.
Whilst there are many turbo options for Stage 3, this customer opted for a fast spooling turbo which gives instantaneous low-down response with an excellent top-end. A combination that would see BIG gains all across the rev range, without any losses, whereas with a larger hybrid you'd have to accept the lazier response as a swap for a better top-end power output, should the customer want to upgrade later-on, the engine is built.
At the same time a Milltek cat-back exhaust was installed to replace the factory cat-back which would be restrictive at this power level alongside 200-cell HJS cats installed into the second position for emission compliance.
Handling is taken care of with BILSTEIN B14 coilovers which optimises the damping and spring-rates with coilover adjustment to get the ride height set to the customers preference. At the same time H&R anti-roll bars are installed to fine-tune the balance with Verkline and RacingLine adjustable drop-links set to setup the length correctly with the lower ride height.
For cooling Forge Motorpsorts's intercooler replaces the unknown intercooler which was already fitted, which will helps to keep the charge temps consistently cool and a HEL oil cooler kit is installed to help keep the oil consistently cool.
🔴 Baseline output = 395HP & 428lbfts (400PS & 580NM)
🟢 Max gains = +105HP & 92lbfts (106PS & 124NM)
🟢 Peak gains = +104HP & +58lbfts (105PS & 78NM)
🟢 Max output = 499HP & 486lbfts (506PS & 658NM)

Best video on the channel so far. Awesome build. Maybe do a follow up video with customers feedback.

[@RegalAutosport]

Thank you and thanks for watching! We’re meeting up with the customer next week to shoot this exact video 👌

[@ArnestoGTI]

Haven’t even watched the whole video yet and I’m SHOCKED by this quality of work and the documented video, you guys are just insane..❤️❤️ New owner must have spent so much ££££ on the build 😩🤤

[@RegalAutosport]

Thanks for the kind words! Hope you enjoyed it ☺️ - let us know what you think when you've watched the other part

[@jjustdrive7894]

20k car and 20k conversion?

[@JordzyBrev]

Customer has very deep pockets

[@RegalAutosport]

Dammit, title should have been ‘BALLER 8P RS3 UPGRADE’

[@JordzyBrev]

@@RegalAutosport oh yes, he must of spent thousands

[@johnsnow5239]

Wow this guy dropped some serious cash here!!

[@RegalAutosport]

Sure did!

[@devonutopia]

Loving my 516PS Stage 3 8P RS3. Engine itself is lovely and the Loba turbo is just awesome. Would like more power I think though! haha! - do you offer stage 4+ on RS3 8P? I am only just down the road in Devon too.

[@RegalAutosport]

We do not, sorry!

[@The-Audi-driver]

How much was this all together? Not including the car just the parts, the coil overs are which ones 14 or 16?

Awesome Vid! Watching all the way over in NZ. I have an 8p RS3 and would love to get this done!

[@RegalAutosport]

Thanks Matt! Welcome from the UK!

[@r32vw86]

Tbh all that just for such little gains :/ is t it better/cheaper to sell the engine and fir a daza and stage 2 that

[@RegalAutosport]

Depends what you like ;)

[@תומרבןדוד-ר7ס]

great video what is the size of the piston? 83.0 or 83.5?

[@RegalAutosport]

Thanks! I am not sure

[@robinpaulse4608]

This is a really awesome video. Great upgrade to the car. Well detailed. The captions and explanations are well appreciated for sure. Love the before and after dyno figure comparisons. And your shop's workmanship looks hella top notch. Please do continue doing what you are doing

[@RegalAutosport]

Thank you Robin! Your kind words are massively appreciated, each member of the team puts a lot of effort into the video from the customer service, techs to content creator and we’ll make sure this get shared with the team. We’ll for sure continue, thanks again!

I really despite the fact that the US did not get the S3 or RS3 8P.. Didn't find this fact out until a while after I bought my 2.0T, Man ignorance was bliss lol

[@RegalAutosport]

It's a bit of an odd one!!

[@eaatapro]

Hello guys, we try to upgrade the injector to 8v but is totally different the gasoline ramp, how you do this adaptation? Congrats for the video, amazing job.

[@RegalAutosport]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching. This car was custom tuned, so any differences would have been taken into account during tuning if required. Specifics of the tuning changes we do not provide unfortunately.

[@dennish5689]

Awesome Video :)

[@RegalAutosport]

Thanks Dennis!!

[@ArnestoGTI]

How come you guys used 10w40 first and then 10w60? Also why 10W? Shouldn’t you have used 5w40? Most of VW Audi cars take 5w40. I guess because it’s forged and tuned? Thanks.

[@RegalAutosport]

I believe the 10w40 was mineral running in oil, this oil helps to bed in and break in various items within the engine after being built. Then when ran at full load, we went for the 10w60. When you increase the output, the clearances need to be optimised for the use case. So we changed the oil to fit our customers use case and build spec.

[@ArnestoGTI]

@@RegalAutosport ohh i think i've heard this before that when you build an engine you have to use different type of viscosity until the first 1000miles or so that you will need to drain the oil again.

[@vincentsabelo4182]

I really love this ❤️ yoh # Audi rs3 2011

[@RegalAutosport]

Thank you!

[@amirelnakhloul]

Great work! Very nice guys. But, im confused. This engine 5cyl 2.5 tfsi also brings the problem of excessive oil consumption like the 2.0tfsi?😑

[@RegalAutosport]

Lots of cars can have this issue, overheated oil, poor quality oil, long maintenance

[@Rommellollis]

Great video and great workmanship. Really impressed. Well done.

[@RegalAutosport]

Thank you!

[@tylerg749]

Would it be okay to upgrade to the 8v RS3 injectors for better fueling?

Great video. Workmanship looks spot on. Do you use thread lock when installing ARP head studs out of interest?

[@RegalAutosport]

Have you guys had a dealings with the newish esso supreme99 fuel??

[@RegalAutosport]

None at all, we tune for Shell V-Power which is 99.

[@arronlowley5659]

ive been thinking of getting an 8p rs3, is the uprated hpfp the only fuelling mod needed to get over 500bhp?

[@RegalAutosport]

Thanks for the comment, usually the HPFP is all that's required. To get the full information, it's best to speak to a Performance Specialist by using the contact info in the description

[@РоманГалушка-ж2е]

Incredible work! Its hard to belive how easy its looks like. But everyybody knows it gigantic job

[@RegalAutosport]

Thanks for the comment and kind words!

[@ZanicL3]

Would this not be much easier to reach on the 8V compared to the 8P? Or is the engine not that much different?

[@RegalAutosport]

Yes it sure is! Full intake, intercooler and downpipe can see above 500HP with a DSG + ECU tune. Which we have also done a few times, checkout our other videos :)

In the words of 21 Savage, a lot

@@RegalAutosport yes! I’m sure I’m not the only one pleased with this reply. I know it’ll make your videos longer, but I’ve wasted multiple hours watching the power nation guys do it on pushrod V8s. Why wouldn’t I watch it on a VW turbo 4, or a bimmer straight 6

stock engine strong enough for arround 525 HP 675 NM

but for how long... who knows! This engine would not have run 525HP / 675NM for long with poor cylinder shape and pickup on the piston.
