HOW TO BUILD A MONSTER 600+ HP AUDI S6/S7 4.0T

[@beccasays7903]

I have 2013 S7 I’m looking for help regarding a valve cover leak. Having trouble finding info online on how to remove the passenger side cam cover/valve cover. Do you know if it’s an engine out process or can it be left in and if so do you have a reference point to follow. I haven’t been able to find anything online to help with this repair.

[@drewwave9736]

I been waiting for a video like this

[@steveschriver1871]

2018 S7..... Already completed an APR stage 3 turbo upgrade with DSG tune. Unfortunately I made the rookie mistake and bought Chinese turbos ( So they failed after 17k. So I have to do this swap all over again. After researching many of the better turbo brands i come to find many of them are also "made in china" and assembled in U.S or Canada. Do you know where the HPA turbos are made? And how are they holding up now? Great channel and videos are well done.......to the point ,,,,no wasted time for viewers! Keep up the great work.

[@savagepandaprojects]

What's up! I'm glad the video was helpful. It's been a few years since I've had the S6, but I didn't have any issues with the HPA turbos. I think they had some early version of them at one point that were Chinese, but I remember asking them before I purchased them if they had improved, and they confirmed they were better than earlier prototypes. I can't remember if they were made/assembled/balanced in their Canadian facility. Given the price, I would still assume there could be some sourcing from overseas as with many large auto part distributors. Personally at this time I would not get them again because they shipped in separate pieces so they had to be re clocked and sealed prior to install. Would have rather just had drop in ready turbos.

[@Painkiller75u]

No hate on APR but why didn’t you go DS1 or IE tune? Awesome progress. Do you plan to get the srm intakes down the road?

[@savagepandaprojects]

A few reasons, DS1 doesn't have Transmission tunes, IE only has stage 1 currently. Probably hold off on doing intakes for now.

[@Painkiller75u]

@@savagepandaprojects understandable, but if you ever get around to it SRM makes a good dsg tune for the ds1 platform👍🏼

[@bentubeblu]

@@savagepandaprojectsnot sure if the S6 is still a project. Have you seen what JHM has been doing with their tunes?

[@savagepandaprojects]

@bentubeblu S6 is gone but still in the family. Good buddy of mine has the ol Panda S6 lol last time I talked to JHM was a couple years ago I remembered their tunes were in development. Hopefully everything going well and encourage more support for the 4.0T community

[@JDMmick]

allot of good info in very little time

[@savagepandaprojects]

That's what this channel is all about brother! No wasting time! Lol

[@WhatsyourForte]

your S6 is going to be a monster.

[@savagepandaprojects]

Yes sir! Ready to make some serious gains 💪lol

[@ronburgundy4375]

Super simple formula. Intakes fownpipes cooling ignition fuel ethanol

[@PoloDREAMz2000]

Forgot to mention changing out those restrictive inlets. Don’t want to stress those upgraded turbos out bro.

[@savagepandaprojects]

Definitely a nice add on but the tune was developed to run without them so not a critical issue. Same goes with downpipes.

[@britt-james]

Would Bigger turbo inlets and upgraded hpfp and srm fuel lines have any effect on the stage 3? Would it make it run worse?

[@bbigrocker1]

YES, I have a S6, if you want to smoke Hellcats. The trick is more and cooler fuel and air in and fast exhaust exit out. What tune are you using?

[@britt-james]

@bbigrocker1 I'm on apr stage 2 now....apr intercooler, roc euro intake with ecs turbo inlets, I recently purchased cts turbo cooler Brick and srm fuel lines.... I was looking at 034 hpfp upgrade but I won't be going e85...I work out of state and car sits alot so I'll prob just stick to pump and race fuel. I was hoping the fuel lines would add benefit to just have moving more consistently fuel flow when needed.

[@bbigrocker1]

I don't know what your flavor is, but run 5 gallons of E85 and see how it hits you. I take it your turbo's are stock? But even with stock turbos, E85 will roll your socks down@@britt-james

[@bbigrocker1]

The fuel line upgrade is well worth the effort with certainly compliment your other mods@@britt-james

[@Skatetypeshhh]

I’m currently stage 2 APR with tcu

[@jasonricksgers2447]

I have so many questions right now in regards to my s7 what oil resovoir are you running I can’t find a good one and those tunes that you are also running what fuel are you using to max out power to get the bigger numbers?

[@savagepandaprojects]

APR stage 3 APR DSG tune HPA RS7 turbos 93 fuel only Would suggest the JHM oil feed line kit for best results Thanks!

[@DeadWolf47x]

Do you know if swapping s6 turbos for rs7 turbos and downpipes, would it cause it to fail emissions, I've been trying to figure out which route to take

[@savagepandaprojects]

Yes will need oem dp's most likely to pass

[@TheNostalgiaLife]

What aftermarket intercooler would you recommend for an RS7

[@savagepandaprojects]

Depends on how far you are going for the build. Lots of good choices for factory replacement APR, 034, AMS, JHM etc. Beyond that SRM has A2A for big budget high hp builds

[@saabsquad]

Looking forward to these parts after I fix my trans

[@adinpuce2964]

Is there a good video on how to replace turbos

[@wolfguard1180]

There are plenty videos on that subject on it and very detailed to boot

[@SirDeathstroke]

I have a 2014 Audi S7 wanting to go stage 2, what exactly should I get for that and what should I do about the turbo filter problems without upgrading turbos

[@savagepandaprojects]

Honestly man, I would either allow the turbos to be replaced under the extended warranty or just simply delete the oil screen and go stage 3 with RS7 turbos. On a 2014 the oem turbos likely have significant wear by now. Up to you! Thanks for watching

[@emre_kahraman]

Great video! Keep it up! I have a custom tuned DS1 stage 3 S6 with boostedeuro TCU tune.

[@savagepandaprojects]

Nice! Great combo 😀

[@jasonkristof9182]

How do you like the Boostedeuro Tune with the DS1, thinking of going DS1 but debating TCU tunes, thank you!

[@emre_kahraman]

@@jasonkristof9182 I’m really really happy with the BE Tcu tune. I also heard SRM was good too. Majority of the people have BE

[@jasonkristof9182]

@@emre_kahraman those are the two I’m debating between!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@emre_kahraman]

@@jasonkristof9182 no problem 😃

[@Beardchanics]

Really Sweet build! Hoping to bring my S3 to those HP numbers eventually.

[@1drbulpeter1]

Hey there, I would like to ask about your engine, did u tune bone stock engine with those stage 3 upgrades? Turbos and stuff

[@savagepandaprojects]

Yes 100% stock unopened engine with 70k miles

[@tbbigrocker149]

What's opinion on meth injection? I have an A2A intercooler with port injection. National Speed told me that it's very caustic.

[@savagepandaprojects]

I'm sure there are some benefits there my only hesitation would be 1.) How many customer tuners are out there that offer support for that? 2.) What are the consequences if there are any failures?

[@tbbigrocker149]

I'm skeptical to say the least. Thanks@@savagepandaprojects

[@chorks23]

This is cool man I thought about getting a sq8 and making it a rsq8 .

[@savagepandaprojects]

Sounds fun! APR just released stage 1 for the RSQ8 it's quite impressive

[@bolesawchrobry4910]

Hey I’m about to start working on my s6 c7 , I found lots of parts online but Im located in Toronto so it’s not much to go with, I was wondering if it’s worth to go with carbon intake , but definitely I’ll start with other parts clutch etc to prepare her to handle more power, can I ask you couple questions ?

[@savagepandaprojects]

Sure let me know what you got man

[@tbbigrocker149]

600 is childs play. Let's get a 1000

[@savagepandaprojects]

thats some big boy power right there!

[@tbbigrocker149]

I was running an IE stage 2+ tune on E85(pump) but the car made so much heat it melted the fins in the intercooler. But the IE tune is no joke. But I'm GREEDY.. LOLOL@@savagepandaprojects

[@bilalmalik2821]

i’ve seen 700BHP MRC tuned audi S7 with race fuel. without race fuel 650. why’s yours 600?

[@savagepandaprojects]

Could be some variation with different setups as there are so many factors with modified cars. Here in the states APR stage 3 is rated for 634 crank HP. Thanks

[@lltaboollyt5988]

What blows my mind is a that a twin turbo v8 car only has a top speed of 155

[@savagepandaprojects]

you really need to go above 155mph? LOL

[@lltaboollyt5988]

@@savagepandaprojects yes indeed😁

[@kanaanlopz]

You can Delimit/remove the governor so it'll hit well past 155 for those autobahners out there

[@brettlee211]

It's limited for a reason. I love mine for the power between 0-155mph. Also how fast and effortless it reaches the restricted speed is incredible.

[@brettlee211]

Forgot to mention certain death at anything above 155. So I'm fine restricted. Still fast af!

[@breezywiththefro]

I’m looking to do this build on my 2013 S7 to replace blown turbos. Could you give me a cost breakdown of what is ABSOLUTELY necessary first please? If I can do the minimum then add the other stuff later that would works best for me. Thanks!!

[@savagepandaprojects]

Thanks for watching I would start with trying to get the turbos and PCV repaired under factory audi warranty first. If for some reason that doesn't work out you want to address the oil screen, PCV and replace turbos. Really up to you if you intent to stay with stock performance levels or if you want to actually make more power with aftermarket upgrades.

[@breezywiththefro]

@@savagepandaprojects THANKS for the reply! New sub… love your content 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. But yea I planned to upgrade anyways…. Blown turbos just sped up the process I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️ lol. Def getting the PVC repaired this week but didn’t know what else to do beyond that. I’d like to replace the stock turbos with RS7s. Do I HAVE TO get a tune when I replace with RS7 turbos? If not, what else necessary when upgrading the turbos? I can add the rest later

[@savagepandaprojects]

@@breezywiththefro glad to help! If you want to run the upgraded turbos then yes you would definitely need the tune. Both engine and transmission tunes. Thanks!

[@breezywiththefro]

@@savagepandaprojects Perfect thank you!

[@breezywiththefro]

@@savagepandaprojects I just found your video breakdown to cost for this build and it’s EXACTLY what I needed!!

[@Skatetypeshhh]

Can I send my s7 to you?

[@savagepandaprojects]

You sure can! I do handle upgrades for our out of town clients. We have built dozens of 4.0T cars. Glad to help!

Who has a apr stage 3 file still... I need parts

[@savagepandaprojects]

You let me know what you need man glad to help!

[@ihci]

Missing power on the table with the stock s6 intake. At least upgrade to the rs7 intake with rs7 inlets to match your turbos.

[@savagepandaprojects]

Not required but would certainly be nice to have 😀

[@tbbigrocker149]

I'll post when I get CERBERUZ back

I absolutely love this car....BUT it's crazy that u can get an Infiniti m56 with 420hp...NATURALY ASPIRATED!!! IMAGINE IF U BOOST IT...U WILL STILL HAVE A LUXURY CAR WITH MONSTER HP!!!

That is a pretty rare sedan indeed! Love the 5.6 V8... only problem is that old 7 speed transmission in those cars just isn't going to work well with forced induction
