I run best 7.36 @95 with back seat rests out with 90km remaining in the tank at a street road event@Castertondrags 2023 was my best. At Portland South Coast raceway i run 7.40 is my best so far. 4 weeks and season starts gain ,we are hoping e20 will help a 7.29 😅😊
(Google translate) Why would you sell a perfect RS3 8V2 for the 8Y, which is uglier plus inferior in almost every way? It's like the Golf 7 compared to the Golf 8, the generation before was the pinnacle. And it's the same with the Audi RS3. From the outside, the thing looks like it's been hammered into shape and the front is a disaster, as if the radiator grille had degenerated like a birthmark mutating into skin cancer, spreading all over the front. The headlights, a sporty jagged edge on the 8V2, now a fallen L or - as some call it - bags under the eyes, depending on how you look at it. Then the exaggeratedly wide cheeks at the back - why do they need that on a vehicle that's primarily a front-wheel drive? I would understand it in a BMW M3 with X-Drive or a Porsche 911 4S etc. The interior is a ridiculous joke with lots of creaky plastic and a scratch-prone fake piano lacquer finish. B-pillars uncovered on the sides. The design of the digital speedometer display is a clear step backwards. The only advantage would be the so-called torque splitter for the few people who want to know it on the race track. In addition, the 8Y is always slower than the 8Y with the same tuning power level. Only in the stock state Audi gave the 8Y a little more torque for better stock launch. But as soon as you do Stage 1, 2, 3 etc. it is irrelevant and the 8Y is more effective. In any case, I am so happy to keep my 2018 DAZA and thus drive the top of the RS3 models. Next year, a 2022 R8 V10 will be converted to biturbo with 1250 hp by HGP in Germany and then my girlfriend will drive my 640 hp sedan. But 8Y? No thanks. I had hoped for an improvement in the design, especially of the headlights, with the current model update, but unfortunately that didn't happen. The "fallen L" headlights are still there, as is the mutated grille that spreads across the entire front... But probably you had to get the 8Y due to leasing background etc who knows... 🤷🤔
Thanks Brian. Going to Try to tackle this myself soon. What did you use for the ceramic coating ?
you know saying "mexico" is a red flag to the HP. Just gonna get you a nock on the door, if its a slow day.
Look at the slope my guy
1-2% slope won’t make a difference from all the testing I’ve done
IS2000s on my '19. On that car, the dust is WAY worse but the pads are leagues better than stock! Those were dangerous on a modded car. These pads are so damn good!
Sitting in staging and everything getting hot definitely doesn’t do it any favors. That has always been my issue at the track.
When you did the 11.92 @ 116.29, was that still with a little E85 in the tank?
Yes
So most of his runs on 93 gas are in the lower 12s, at 112-113... Just like I told you before.
@@DMCarReviews On his other video, he posted a 11.94 @ 114.93 on 93 octane even in 82 degrees.. still patiently waiting for your video of valid dragy run of a stock m340i x drive trapping 115 like you say they do.
@@JVette01 Want a video of an M340i trapping 113-114 in 90 degree weather and a high DA? I have that run saved on video :)
@@DMCarReviews Yes I'd love to see it.
Your 1/4 miles times aren't too bad really, Low 12's. you did a 116 mph also which is not bad. The explanation of bogging down at the racetrack makes sense, you can hear it too. Also, didn't you already ran a 11.9 in the past? The launch control on the OEM car must be as briefly as possible, I strongly believe that holding for too long hurts the times. Lastly, there is nothing worst than having to pair up with a dragster next to you. Your chest shakes, you can't even hear your own engine, revs and is the most distracting thing on the most critical moment.
Same thing happens with my cars. It's faster on the street from the pull off lane, than the strip. Not sure why.
I hope someone makes a full grille for the 8Y
nice video take the ttrs 1000hp to drag strip
Doing some updates and then I’ll have it back out :)
@@briansaxon did you try 60-130 yet on the ttrs?
My 1/4 miles was the exact same time on the street. Although I supplemented with 110.
Use VehiCAL for logging unless you have something very specific lined up.
I’ll be using Unilogger once I tune the car
@@briansaxonWhat's the refresh rate on Unilogger and how many parameters can it max log, only the ECU or more at the same time? VehiCAL can log infinite parameters at the compromise of sample rate - can log in all control units even TCU and ECU at the same time, it's mostly used for stock stuff or platforms / cars that don't really have dedicated platforms and solutions behind them - just a tip - it's way better than VCDS for stock stuff that's for sure - I still use it even outside that for logging ECU + TCU + Haldex at the same time.
I have never achieved faster times at the drag strip compared to the road in both my RS3 and TTRS.
Higher da at the track didn't help
It didn’t, but the short track was slower for sure.
keep em coming
Got me excited for boost season coming up.
Carplay has a settings option on the screen to change background colors if gonna keep screen on. Gotta be distracting.
I might be wrong but it seems like you were sitting on LC longer at the track than on the road. Pretty sure back in the 8V days we would see better launches when not holding L/C too long.
It’s possible, I’ve played around with it on the street and haven’t seen much difference but on the track there might be
my rs3 (series) has about ~411 hp with shell v power 100 octane (vmax german autobahn ~ 173 mph GPS 😁). yes, well, we pay significantly more for petrol (2 Euro / Litre). fun costs!
This is one of the things i really wish would have been included on the previous gen rs3/ttrs.
How are the steel breaks on the 8y? I take it they don’t have the issues the 8v had?!
They’re great, except the dust!
Going down the same path Brian. Glad I found your video. Just received my front and rear iSweep 1500 pads today and will be installing them tomorrow on my 2024 RS3. Same lovely color as yours by the way! I have OBD Eleven and will try the Ebrake release with a feature found on the OBD Eleven. I had an 8V RS3 as well and loved that damn car. Enjoyed it more in some ways as it was tunable. Will also be doing the Matrix headlight activation as you showed in another video. Expect to keep this awesome car for a long time and would like all the features available. Fingers crossed for an affordable ECU tune in the near future. Thanks again!
Shell 93 V Power mate . Make another video soon as you can 😅 . If not Shell, maybe Sunoco or Exxon / Mobil 93 . Idk if it’s placebo but Shell 93 feels like it burns faster but I feel faster lol
I do plan to test out local fuels once I can get a proper logger for the car
How did you do this? I need to do this
Check out my full video on it and in that video description I have a link of the company I used
Im still ready ro drive up to you and get this done! Im 2 hours away!
Changed to these exact pads myself on my 23 8Y RS3. Have a few hundred miles on them. Doing great so far. Absolutely no noise and a LOT less dust.
330 whp on 93 is really weak....Mustang dyno? Most 8Ys are closer to 400
I agree, if you look at the chart you can see the dip in power in the higher rpm on 93 octane. Once ethanol was added that dip goes away. This just shows you how important good quality fuel is and clearly Sheetz 93 isn’t great quality 93
Brian..love your Audi content bro.. Can you share the specs of the wheels your running? I have a 21 ttrs running stock setup but thinking of getting some 18 inch lighter wheels
Te37 are 18x9.5 +45 . They’re a 5x114 wheel redrilled to 5x112
@@briansaxon Was redrilling them an easy process? Did it yourself? Btw are these the wheels you originally had from the first ttrs?
@@brianchuck9264 they are a different set. I had Paul at Supreme power take care of everything with the ordering and drilling
Ok thanks ..I would need to find someone that knows what they are doing here in florida.
I had these programmed on mine about a month after I got the car. One of the vendors that does this was having a good sale that was almost half the price of what this usually costs. I think I paid about $300 plus the cost of a USB to OBD-II dongle that I got to keep. I even got the race timers acrivated, which is not a US option. The matrix lights are a must-have. They have probably already paid for themselves with as many deer I have spotted at night I could have hit. Don't really care if they are not approved yet. Just DOT beaurocracy. I have not been flashed once by oncoming drivers when these are on, so these are pretty spectacular.
Infinit Performance have multi map tunes for these cars already. Its done remotely too. @infinitperformance
It's disabled on the north american market because regulations don't allow for european configuration matrix lights. So this is probably illegal to enable (not that anyone cares).
Is this a scam? It is asking me to sign into facebook when I’m already signed in.
No the link works when you click it from a laptop. It was doing the same thing for me when I was clicking the link on my phone.
Not a scam, it’s just trying to take you to their Facebook page
I read to put 3 gallons E85 and the rest 93
Do the sensor deletes affect the driver assist braking?
No, the car thinks the brake pad sensors are still working perfectly fine
Great vid. Wish I saw the front caliper come off. How is brake noise on these compared to oem? My 24 squeaks like mad.
No brake noise at all, the front caliper is just two 21mm bolts, very easy to remove
Dude I can't stand the noise from the brakes. And the brake dust is atrocious.
@@SkittlezGTI slightly embarrassing but fuck it. Race car noises. 😂
@@the1stdude I just push the loud pedal and I forget about them
Have you some how measured difference between new and stock pads? Do you have any updates about audi tt rs?
The used pads had a lot of life left at 20k miles. Ttrs getting some upgrades :)
Hey man, appreciate the honest results. Best I got was 12.0 @ 113.8 on Vegas 91 octane with 72 degrees, 2500ft elevation, and 4100 DA.
I'm not surprised. My 8Y RS3 felt like it made about 330-350whp on Vegas 91. On an E30 blend, it felt like 400whp. Idk where people are getting "400whp stock" because this car does not feel like that on normal pump gas.
@@JVette01 We are getting it the same place you would get it if you were to Google RS3 on a dyno and see what most people have gotten! Nobody is making anything up it's just what's out there for results!
My 8y has 439 PS and 640 nm torque stock. Brand new car. but to be clear with german gas. We are able to get 102 Octane gas everywhere on aral gas stations. Every stock 8y in germany made 415-440 PS on dyno so far. 🤷🏻♂️
@mrhealth2957 @JVette01 was running his car in mid summer 100 degree tempaturees often on 91 octane, so he wasn't making full power!
@@speeddemon311 Yvette is a little princess
@@Jack-fr9bk It's like he thinks people are lying when it's out there to see with a quick Google search!
To clear up some confusion It made 365hp and 372 tq on the e25 blend and 329hp and 355tq on normal Sheetz 93 octane The car is still on stock calibration for these videos
Great video for the comparison. Ive thrown in about 2 gallons of E to a full tank on my 8Y to see if there was a difference. My butt dyno had said yes and so did my gas mileage. But the shows my thinking was correct. I grabbed E from Sheetz as well. Would be cool to meet up sometime. Im not super far from you.
Where are you at? I can help get your car coded to have matrix lights if you haven’t had that done already.
@@briansaxon Im about 2 hours and 20 minutes south of Pottsville PA. Im interested in matrix headlights.
@briansaxon what're matrix lights
@@Jack-fr9bk check out my newest video
@@briansaxonLet me know how I can come get this done!
Hey man, How are you enjoying the 8Y? Now that you own both (8Y & TTRS), could you see yourself consolidating and enjoying the RS3 solely? I’ve been considering this scenario and getting an 8Y vs having 2 cars.
That’s a great question, my problem is that I usually push a car too far past what is a comfortable daily so having both allows me to do that with one car and I can keep the other car civil.
@@briansaxon IE: IMS750HS and be done and happy with what it is on the 8Y
Mine made 383 on a dyno jet stock aswell on 93
Ya, certainly shows how not all 93 octane is created equal.
They have about 400 WHP completely stock on 93 shell octane in US!
Every dyno reads different the fact he’s doing an 11.9 stock shows that
You American guys calculate crank horse power and then call it WHP. Anything to inflate an ego. Believe whatever u like but performance times don’t lie
@@speeddemon311clearly it doesn’t make more power than what it did. I’m not sure i understand what your trying to say
"Unitronic" - when it's available, I assume. I've got a '24 with a JB4 on map 6 using an E30 mix and the car hauls. I will be doing some dyno runs in October. I guess that dyno reads low. 330whp seems low compared to other types of dynos. I've seen these things dyno near 400whp stock.
Based on how it responded to the ethanol I’d say Sheetz 93 is down on power because the factory ecu is pulling ignition timing to keep everything happy. So unfortunately I’ll have to log some of the local gas stations to see what’s the best quality fuel that doesn’t pull timing
what are your AFR’s and fuel trims ? I’ve tried running e30 mix’s before and i always run too lean. scared to push the car when it’s lean. It definitely goes when the car allows it. I run map 5.
@ZombieGunner707 these cars do get a little lean tip in at lower RPM to spool the turbo. This is normal.
What were the mods you’d done to the car prior to putting the e85 in? Did you change spark plugs? Thanks
It’s 100% stock.
What tune are you putting on it?
Unitronic
how full was the tank when you added in the gallon?
Roughly 8 gallons of 93 and 2 gallons of e98
keeps the 8y vids coming bro!!!
When I had my 2022 with Uni Stg 1+ ECU dyno'd, I put in 2 gals E and rest 93. It did 488 hp and 513 tq....on a Mustang Dyno.
2022 as in 8Y? 👀
There isn't Uni tuning for a '22 yet.
