RS3 8V: One step at a time
Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time
Quick update.....
Unfortunately the car hasn't had any real dyno time over the past few weeks, but further progress has been made during the very limited dyno time available.
As you can see the car is now over 500bhp with the mid range now taking shape with 485lbft. MAHA dynos tend to give around 5% less torque than most other dynos. I'd expect this to be well over 500lbft on other dynos.
As you can see the map is very very smooth and torque is strong and flat through the mid range. Exactly how I wanted it from a general curve shape perspective.
As before, ignore the peak figures for now. There's plenty more to do with the map. More boost, ignition map hasn't been optimised, cam timing hasn't been touched and fuelling map will be adjusted...... plus I'm still on the stock inlet!

Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time
Your still on the standard ECU at this point? Or have u switched over to syvecs?
Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time
Still on stock ecu. Syvecs still doesn't work yet on the 8V.
Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time
Yeah was talking Iain about it when i was up there on Monday, he said they had sent u and 8P thinking it would fit but has different connections.
Your car sounded pretty loud on cold start with the Milltek.

I know things have been a bit quiet on this thread with updates, but offline many things have been progressed.
I’m hopeful that I’ll be in a position to provide a BIG update very soon. The car is undergoing a substantial round of mods.

600Bhp / Sub 10 for the quarter by now surely!

Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time
What a 12 months this has been..... I’ll be glad when 2018 is out of the window!
What with changes in project direction, lead-times on custom parts and some quite life changing personal challenges, 2018 has been quite a rollercoaster.
Anyway..... let’s get down to business!
So, I had previously alluded to going a bit mental with Stage 3 and that ended up with the decision to pull the engine and forging it. The main reason for this was the fact that (at that point) I had decided I’d be keeping this car and wanted to remove any limitations the stock engine would have, opening up options for more extreme levels of power upgrades..... should I wish to change goals at a later date.
Many of you may say “But these engines are taking 700 bhp, what type of power are you looking at then?!” I’m a believer of making sure a package is fit for purpose. Sure, stock engines may be taking x bhp, but how much is wear being accelerated at higher levels of tune? I’d rather invest upfront and then have more options open to me.
I’ll divulge the full spec of the engine soon in a more detailed update but effectively I’m running Litchfield custom spec Capricorn forged pistons, custom spec Arrow rods and a modified head. Engine is built and back in the ‘hole’.
Final fabrication work is being finished on the turbo kit. The ‘robotic’ welds on the manifold look amazing.
As you guys know I like to test and get my own data using my car....
To assist with this a whole range of blowers have been ordered.
GTX3576
GTX3582
GTX3584 (1000bhp capable )
I also have access to a couple of hybrids but we’ll see how things progress.
Can’t wait to get this to a position over the next few weeks where I can start testing and start writing up all the detail of what’s been done.... and how the car performs and drives with these different turbo’s.
I'll put some pictures in a new post.
Watch this space.

Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time
Those welds and pipe work are a work of art .
Re: RS3 8V: One step at a time
I’m a bit late to the party, I’ll go back and read your thread when I have some spare time but those welds are amazing, will be a shame to hide it all.
Cheers
