My VW MK8 GOLF R goes STAGE 3! (Hybrid Turbo)

[@TRHamza]

More power for the MK8 Golf R. More to come!

[@TheChrosty]

Can you please explain compressor surge for a newby like myself

[@AN-vt3kl]

How you get your mot done etc., after all this tuning?

[@littco]

@@TheChrosty surge is when the turbo isn't able to sustain the Pressure ratios in the intake system and the boost(air) blows out back up the intake ( like a release) when the balance equalises the turbo boosts up again until the next cycle, this then sounds like a whoosh whoosh. Once the Ve of the engine is such that the air is able to consumed the surge will go. You overcome this by reducing the flow from the engine or using a compressor wheel that supports the Pressure ratios you are trying to run.

[@fedjadrndarski9020]

@@TheChrosty Too much boost for too low flow. In that case air goes at wrong way, instead into engine it runs away from compressor. With adequate N75 and boost map that could be resolved. Surge on high rpm could destroy turbo, because of high flow and high exhaust manifold pressure, turbo shaft, seal and compressor wheel could be destroyed. Forged compressor wheel can sustain more stress on big and hybrid turbos.

Hamza pal will you be going to stage 3 on your DAZA RS3? We’d all love to see that.

[@naeemazahar8102]

Not sure what’s quicker, the MK8 or Hamza getting to stage 3 on a MK8 R!

[@jamie_ar]

Sounds like a fighter jet on that Dyno 😍

[@iStewy]

Worked with turbo technics a good few times in my line of work being a turbo engineer myself. Great work but i will say the hybrid wont need the anti surge that was fitted, the comp wheel will probs need balanced a bit better with the shaft being left stock. A slightly smaller comp wheel or even remove the anti surge and run a few mm smaller comp wheel to compensate. Wont get that bog down surge happening at 4-5k

[@gaijins30]

Agree 100%, similar situations were happening when the mk7 came out when comp wheels were increased in size, larger in ratio to exhaust wheel creating the surge. Prob need to move to a new frame rather than increasing turbine wheel size looking at how little meat there is between the turbine housing and the wastegate port.

[@drasticdagger2987]

Bro please give it a clean... it is BEGGING for one 😢

[@connor5147]

Interested to see how reliable this new gen 4 engine will be as when you push the gen 3 over 500hp it’s a ticking time bomb

[@fokdat6318]

Regarding the gen 3, it’s more when reaching 600+ nm they become ticking time bombs, they really can handle some horses. High torque in the lower rpms is what breaks the 2.0 tsi

[@sp3ckedout224]

From the clips we’ve seen in this video it won’t last very long. There is too much strain on the engine

[@TRHamza]

We will have to see I guess

I wouldn't use 5w30 on any modded car beyond 250hp, you better start using 0w40 or 5w40 to avoid rod bearing and timing chain wear

[@macauleyholmes6403]

I have stock s3 8v I believe 5w30 would be better than 0w30 My local garage says 0w30 is better for these engines

[@PKperformanceEU]

@@macauleyholmes6403 0w40 is the go to for anything that makes more than 250crank, preferably 0w50 above 500crank

[@TESTA-CC]

you need a 4inch down pipe off the turbo will help with the surge, it's building up to much pressure. The exhaust is your restriction, the turbo is good to go for more power. Make a larger downpipe and exhaust before touching the turbo.

[@Chechenyzforthewin03]

If i had the money I would make an offer right now! Car is looking and sounding mad well done! 👌🔥🔥🔥

[@PapiAndrey]

Do you know if the hybrid turbo has the same radial-axial technology as the stock turbo? Not sure if I missed it or if it was mentioned, but that was the big hype around the Continental turbo and how the engine was designed to take advantage of it. You can see how even tuned, the 8R here makes 600nm at 2200rpm and holds at to 5500rpm, incredible response and awesome design.

[@Mac_F87]

From what I’ve seen the RAAX technology helps with turbo lag and react to changes in engine load quicker. I guess both go hand in hand. Seems to be more of an efficiency thing to try and help reduce emissions first and foremost. By the sounds of it this hybrid doesn’t struggle with lag since Doug was having to hold it back in the lower rpm. Maybe this hybrid retains modified compressor design that’s why it’s causing surge.

[@PapiAndrey]

@@Mac_F87 indeed, It’s Able to move the same amount of air with a smaller wheel. So with the same size wheel as an is38, It’s able to respond quicker and move more air at the same time. Precisely what you see comparing the Continental unit with the is38. I don’t know if you’ve seen what the raax technology looks like compared to a regular radial wheel, but it looks like this hybrid has a standard radial wheel without as much of a curve on the blades as the RA wheel has. But since it’s a hybrid, they would have to clip the back of the blades for it to fit because the turbo housing itself is different to a normal turbocharger housing. I would expect it to still have an advantage over a normal turbo, but the difference wouldn’t be as big compared to radial vs radial axial. I’m going to see if I can talk to turbo technics about this

[@SICKKERSER]

Stop using octane booster look what it has done to ur stock turbo

[@Peylix]

This is cool. But man, look at all that orange gunk covering your turbo's exhaust side and downpipe. That's MMT, one of the main ingredients in octane boosters. That shit will also gunk up your cats, 02 sensors, and more. Not worth it.

[@PapiAndrey]

Yeah I think some ethanol or fuel that’s higher octane to begin with is better. But I don’t think they have e85 readily available at pumps like we have in the US. Meth would be good too

[@Peylix]

@@PapiAndrey yeah, I didn't want to make assumptions on fuel types that are or are not where he's located. But I do know MMT is nasty stuff. Found out the hard way with one of my cars. Never again lol

[@TRHamza]

I’ve only used octane booster once so it was surprising to see it so orange. Unless there was something else causing it. Ultimately it’s just a nice added feature for when going to an event/or chasing times as we don’t get higher octane as easily here in the U.K. However at the minute it’s a bit pointless due to no map switching so I daily it in 99 Ron.

[@Peylix]

@@TRHamza doesn't take long using it. Prolonged use is when your plugs start fowling and 02 sensors fail. I'm catless but after talking with folks who arnt, it doesn't take long before those get clogged. Not as fast, but maybe within a month of usage from reports on forums. But I fowled several sets of plugs and 02's when playing around with boosters for a summer on my MK5. Same orange gunk. My K03 and DP looked the same albeit a little worse since I ran it for longer. It really is nasty stuff. I personally won't ever touch boosters again. It's race gas only for my MK5 or E85 for my MK7.

[@one40i19]

What did it run stage 2+ob 100-200? Seen mk8 cs run 6.7 on some E

[@hxrxxn_]

needs a nice steering wheel maybe an interior vid would be good

[@PapiAndrey]

I think the stock steering wheel is great. Maybe a leather stitched airbag or a carbon fiber trim that holds the airbag and buttons. The car would look better with real carbon fiber trim instead of the fake one, even those 4d carbon fiber vinyl wraps look better, you could easily think it’s real. It’s the fake carbon and center console that make this car look cheaper. Takes maybe $/£10 to get some leather and have it stitched and a little more to wrap the headliner in alcantara. Little stuff like that brings up the interior a lot and doesn’t cost much if you do it yourself

[@rullmad]

hello hamza I have a 2022 model golf 8 R car. I drove my car very hard for 1 year. (track, drift, drag)Naturally there was a problem with my car. When I take off at full power, there is a vibration that starts at 70-80km/h and ends at 100-120km/h.Vibration comes directly from the rear or from the middle of the car . tires new Balanced, no dents on the rims no vibration at constant speed, it just vibrates at full power. do you have any idea about this?

[@kjph7438]

Deposit going down on a golf R today …… or not! Thanks to yourself! 😅 The car is standard , the only optional extra is the black Pearl paint! No DCC or performance pack. Price is good, but every video I see tells me DCC is a no brainier . Coming from a Cupra 290 estate with DCC and 19’s , yes the ride was more comfortable but still ended up destroying 2 allows . Test drove the car and found the ride was very good. So good in fact I was glad I didn’t have the function of DCC , changing it from one setting to another was bothersome in the cupra as I always felt it had way to much roll in the comfort setting. Too hard then for Irish roads on the cupra setting.On 18’s (golf R) the ride seems perfect. With these options missing , my question is , is the golf alot less desirable, when it comes to resale? Is there anybody else out there with standard cars that can help me decide on whether to purchase now or wait ?
