The 500 HP Audi RS3 That’ll Smoke Your M2 | IROZ Motorsport

The new Audi RS3 is on the verge of becoming an unlimited pit of tuning potential, following in its predecessor's footprints. Until then, the fine folks at IROZ Motorsport here in Las Vegas, Nevada have done their best to squeeze just over 500 whp out of the infamous 2.5L 5-cylinder engine found under the hood of this 11-second daily driver. Let's have some fun.

Nice video, I love what Iroz are doing with audi's even though i'm a BMW guy myself. Some feedback on the video quality: please fix those in car driving shots and whatever your camera is mounted to on the camera car for those roller shots. That amount of camera shake just looks unprofessional and not fast or stylish in any way. Saw a guy with a big gimbal setup at the beginning of the video when you guys were drifting in the parking lot, surely you can get a better setup for driving out on the road. Besides the camera shake, everything else was pretty cool

I’ve found the best & most fun drive mode for auto X is the RS torque rear (drift mode) You get the car a little loose and drive it with the throttle and it just puts a big ol smile on your face!

[@st37futboltv8]

What have you had done I have an 8y rs3 and can’t find much unless the previous model parts work

[@nickwatkins-ny6bm]

My opinion why this car can be 500HP but so slow is the tuning. The jb4 increases boost but not timing. So there’s a lot more HP under the curve after the torque peak, but as you climb in RPMs power flattens off because the timing tables can not be altered. Forgive me if I miss anything about Syvecs but once we get proper tuning this is going to destroy. Aftermarket is already pretty much there for these to run 1000HP, just need tunes. And TCU tunes, need LSD for that torque steer

[@agnttgr]

[@rickc4459]

I'm wo during the fitment of the wheels

[@advangs]

510hp at the wheel equals 135 horse over stock? I'm trying to figure how, 401 hp stock would make that 109 extra hp, unless you're talking about at the wheel but 135 more hp would equal 375 horse at the wheels which definitely isn't correct when accounting for driveline losses.

[@PapiAndrey]

Obviously it doesn’t make “401hp” to the crank in stock form. You really think it makes exactly 401? The car has been tested making 377whp/355wtq (lb-ft of course) on a dynojet. Not crank, it’s wheel. You don’t know the drivetrain losses anyways and it doesn’t matter when some cars are making more to the wheels than they are rated at the crank. It’s not regulated

[@hankiroz2592]

This car made 365whp on our dyno bone stock on 91 octane. It’s a fairly efficient awd system so I don’t typically attach a huge drive train loss on the top of bigger power cars

[@ElyciusM]

@@hankiroz2592 Audi underrates their numbers. It probably makes 420 or so at the crank in actuality. I’m guessing the 135 is up from about what iroz got on their dyno to the wheels.

[@aliaksandrantsipau7679]

I don't believe it has 510whp. My uni stage 1+ 8v has higher trap speeds and runs 11.4 1/4 on mile on un prepped surface with 530 Crank hp advertised on E30 blend without any additional hardware installed.

FWIW JB4 is not a flash tune its a piggy back. Wayyyy different

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Thanks for the clarification. The brief explanation that followed i.e. tricking the ECU and playing within it's factory parameters better explains it, but you're right, my mistake was using the term flash tune. Which it's not. What likely confused me is that Burger Motorsports offers flash maps as well to work alongside the standard "non-invasive" JB4 installation if that's a route you want to go down. JB4 is relatively new to me, very interesting stuff.

[@apextos81]

pls audi drivers , dont talk about bmw , whe all know from factory bmw are faster , so just shut up and install mods in your audi

[@blackfish4674]

Who cares its modified. A modded 550hp m2 will smoke this rs3 so what's your point? Stock for stock the g87 m2 is a whole second faster from 100-200 km/h than the new rs3

It looks like a 4 door economy sedan that a grocery getting mom would have so there is only so much you can do to make it look pretty. Aggressive, yes it looks aggressive like grandpa dressed up his little economy 4 door, but not beautiful like a Cayman, Supra, Nissan Z or svelte 2 door coupe.

[@colin8601]

"outlawed" ? why

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Unofficially it had to do with emissions but I can neither confirm or deny.

[@raulvladddd]

60-130 time is a joke. 9.6s is maybe 420-430 crank HP, 510 WHP is an exaggeration. JB4s are known to not be very effective but this is very disappointing. I've obtained a Dragy 100-200 km/h time of 9.51s on a manual stage 2 Seat Leon Cupra 280 in Europe, 403 crank HP, which is basically a FWD mk7 Golf R, same engine and is38 stock turbo. FWD with factory LSD, stock weight and only the driver in the car. Love the videos though, long time subscriber! Just referencing the performance claims on the RS3

[@radosaw4935]

true 450 +- at thecrank max.... 510whp will get this car into 10s 1/4 and 6,5s +- 100-200 kmp/h But it`s pretty hot on the desert.

[@raulvladddd]

@@radosaw4935 that is very accurate. I did do my runs in almost ideal conditions at night at very low altitude. But that car is nowhere near 500 HP crank, let alone whp

You aren’t watching enough videos clearly then. Lightly modded RS3s get smoked by Plaids. The entry level IMS850 beats Plaids, iMS1000+ smokes Plaids…

[@slats1987]

Plaid has as much personality as a door frame. More to cars than just speed, theatre for one. Plaid costs a shit load more too 🤦

[@ElyciusM]

Tuned rs3’s walk plaids, while still being cheaper. A plaids tuning potential is weight saving. Still getting smoked by ICE for less money, while simultaneously having a worse interior. Plaid kids are the hellcat kids from 8 years ago.

[@MODIT]

@@ElyciusM Strongly disagree. We all "should" know what it takes to reach plaid 1/4 mile and 60-130 speeds as well as cost. Its surely not just a simple "tuned" rs3 that is for sure, mind you I've been there and had both. A lot goes into them to run 9's let alone low 9's and the ability to run 4's 60-130. Most "tuned" rs3's and maybe can run 10's on a stock motor, no bolt ons etc... Tuned, bolt on, injectors and ethanol 10's all day. Built motor, turbo and the works sure 9's but your balls deep at that point. Wish a tuned rs3 was faster than a Plaid but that is far far from a true statement.

[@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK]

450 whp was fast 20 years ago bro...... 9.61 second 60-130 is laughably slow more like 350 whp!

[@LOOFAHRIGGNO]

450 whp is fast, relatively speaking. 450whp in a car weighing less than 3000 pounds is a rocket. Now, in a car close to 4000 pounds might feel normal nowadays.

[@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK]

@@LOOFAHRIGGNO 450 is stll slow AF even under 3000 lbs. My RS3 swapped Golf R is 3000 lbs but makes 1200 whp! So no 450 is still slow bro!

[@LOOFAHRIGGNO]

@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK come on bro, u talking about 1200 whp cars like everyday drivers on the road have that. On the road you will be faster than most pushing 450 whp in something weighing 3000 pounds or less. We're not talking race car level here. Obviously when ur at that level 450 will feel slow, but that's just u. Ask anyone and they'll tell u 450whp in 3000 pounds or less is ridiculously fast on the streets.
