The 5 cylinder audi engines have always been monsters. I remember years ago there was that Dahlback racing Golf that was around 1000hp AWD as well. And that was way before any of the newer tech was around.

To be fair, it's a wholly Audi developed V10, so saying it comes from the Huracan/Lamborghini, would be weird. The 5.2 odd-firing Audi V10 is a development from their old 4.2 V8 FSI.

[@sashaghovanlou8175]

I used to think that as well, but the Audi 5.0V10 used in the rs6/s6 etc was not the same as the lambo v10 5.0. Different bore and stroke. The two 5.0's were separate motors, one from audi and one from Lambo. The subsequent 5.2 v10 is derived from the Lambo v10 and now the block manufactured in Germany in an Audi factory and shipped to Lamborghini, but the design is in fact Lamborghini.

[@DAMOSMITHERS]

As an ex vag parts manger , here is the explanation of the part number. The first the digits are the type. 07k is 5cly turbo , another example is 059 v6 2.5 tdi plus other variants. Second 3 numbers are the part type so 103 is head parts, 115 relates to oil system and so on. Next 3 is the actual part number then comes the end letter or letters , they are the superceded part numbers starting at A and running though to B and C and so on. So yes the block is very similar as its a 07 but not the same as it would have the same first 3 . If that makes sense and your still awake😴

Thanks for this, Scotto.. As a fellow old school 5-cylinder fan, I really appreciate this kinda stuff. Kinda makes me want to buy a TT-RS/RS3. This stuff seems miles ahead of the AAN in my ‘93 UrS4. For years we used to complain on motorgeek about how the stock heads on the 3B/AAN just didn’t flow great.. The heads on the 07k seem to be a big improvement. And dual forms of fuel injection seems like a big plus, too. (And I’m one of those elitists who used to scoff at Haldex-equipped cars - these cars are so fast, it kinda makes the whole criticism moot)

The VAG connection to GmbH really is great. It's a good thing there aren't lambo logos on some VAG parts though or our egos would explode. Zac pumping blocks aside, it's no joke how fast the front end weight increases when you start modifying a car. Skid plate, solid mounts, bigger brakes, bigger wider wheels, thicker sway bar...and no added power to balance it out. Weight is hard to manage.

[@lauriebrooking2429]

The firing angle of a 5 cylinder is great for spooling a turbo, a bit like a 3 cylinder. That's one significant reason they can make so much power.

Oh boy this is my kind of shop, my dad has a previous gen rs3 8P iron blok with a tune,about 410 hp crank. I have a 2005 regular a3 8P 2.0tfsi quattro manual(AXX EA113 engine like in the mark 5 gti 200hp) i had the engine swapped by a BYD EA113 from a edition 30 golf,basicly a s3 engine and had that build except for pistons crank and cams, head is cnc ported by LOBA motorsport in Germany and had supertech valvetrain put in, and IE conrods for stock pistons with race bearings, currently running a hybrid TTE420 rurbo.As a daily it goes well but it's heavy.1550kg with me in it after weight reducing the car. it made 414hp and 545nm crank limited by the stock s3 injectors, they had to use a 165 bar fuel return valve to get those numbers without injectors. These engines are hard on fuel, now they seem to be putting rs3 injectors in to get more power, and thats the goal in the long run along with a TTE480+ hybrid turbo or maybe a G25 garret, we will see,i like the spool on the hybrids for the street.Still got some schrik cams lying around but nobody could fit them because they have no timing marks apparently. So they have to be degreed in.I think cams with hybrid turbo would work great since you have the spool and midrange from the turbo and the cams could strenghten the top rev powerband.But maybe 1 day.😅 Here's the dyno run kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpPMlK2kntZjnZI

All of the V10/Lambo fan-fare around these engines is so silly. The "Lambo" V10 is a VW/Audi engine that was designed as part of a parts-sharing effort with their other families of engines. It was developed from the VW/Audi V8 FSI engines, they basically just added another 2 cylinders and made a 10 cyl crank and camshafts. The V10 was originally designed for the S6 and S8, then they later put it in the Lambo. When they made the 07K, they just borrowed the same "parts-bin" formula from that whole V8/V10 family of engines. No part of the design/parts/concept has anything to do with Lamborghini, and it only has a loose association with a V10 because both engines were made from the same "parts bin", and they happen to have the same cylinder spacing.

[@deweberis2709]

This Lambo technology comes from the time of Audi's LeMans dominance. Racing technology transferred to the street cars. 👊 This 5 inline is like half [one bank] of a V10 Lambo/Audi.

I've got a 2019 but have kept it stock. My concern with modding these is that you still can't have a full forged block.

Not sure how well the DCT is going to hold up either.

Dude don't be afraid to throw power at these engines. They can handle over 600hp very reliable without touching internals. Same goes for the dsg.

[@gregzoller9003]

So I’m still somewhat confused. The VW 07K vs Audi RS3, which is also a 07K? Is the difference that the Audi block is aluminum and better internals and the VW is iron? Other than that, are they drop-in compatible (mounts etc) if you’re doing a swap?
