These numbers are still extremely low. I guess every dyno is different but a guy with his S3 in Texas just made 375whp on a mustang dyno. They translated it to dynojet numbers (the shop) and it was 422whp. He is stage 2 e30 like me. I’m 400whp as well. 3 of my buddies all made 270-280whp completely stock as well

oh, I see you changed your downpipe too, do you need to change your intercooler for stage 2? I have awe exhaust, struggling to change which brand of the downpipe, any suggestion?

Beard looks beautiful and I'm digging the square shape..👍

To be brutally honest these numbers are not great at all. I'm from South Africa and have a 2016 Golf 7R and with just a plug and play tune box i made 238wkw (319whp) and 488Nm (360ft lb) i went to two different dynos after that and the numbers only differed by about 3whp and 7ft lb. I decided to have 3 icn downpipe installed and went back to the first dyno where i got the first figures with my plug and play tune box and my numbers jumped to 252wkw (338whp) and 519Nm (382ft lb). The owner of the tuning shop where i was put a downpipe and stage 2 tune on his wife's 2018 Audi S3 and got 281wkw (376whp) and 544Nm (401ft lb). This is only downpipe and stage 2 tune with no other hardware mods.

im happy that my Elantra N makes way more power than that stage 2 .. good work man anyways ,

Would anyone know the tightening torque of the 3 BTR screws on the transmission? I can’t seem to find it :(

Blake hi!! I have an s3 with hydra stage 1! 360hp on dyno… but the Car is stock(no intake And no donwpipe) do you recommend using like that the s3 or not? Pls help Pd* sorry for my writting!

In uk you get a stage 1 plus and it took my Audi Quattro 1.8 tfsi pfl to 245 whp and 380fpt I think stock it’s 177whp and 250fpt crazy numbers for not being a stage 2 on a 1.8

The some 19/265/40 Carbon fiber wheels and carbon driveshaft for about 60 pounds less rotational mass. 😁👍😌. But i still own a 1991 Supra with a 1JZ rocking a Garett GTX3071R , full boltons, HKS stg 1 cams , plus full fuel and ignition. Have clutch, flywheel, lsd, 4 piston 300zx front brakes and coil overs. Makes 330whp at only 13.5psi. The HKS cams help a bit on the mid/top end. Gonna do some forged rods/pstons soon and jack the boost up. Shooting for 450-550whp. Also have fully custom interior; seats, gauges, door panels etc... as It sits now with 330 wheel horsepower it beats my buddies stage IIISTI and also my buddies 2016 mustang GT 5.0 with an intake.

Lol 3071r is too big of a turbo for only 300whp on the 1J. You also don’t need a bigger turbo to make 350-400whp on the s3 and you certainly don’t need to do anything with the direct injectors. Full bolt ons and port injection/lpfp for e85 will get you there easily.

Also yeah I’m on 91 oct and it was pretty hot out around 95 degrees. He also drove the car around a bit before putting it back on the dyno so it was getting a bit heat soaked.

@Walter_Tech

APR numbers are fake because they wrongly apply power correction factor. Accordingly SAE J 1349, item 5.5.2: "BOOSTED ENGINES SHALL NOT BE CORRECTED for ambient barometric pressure". They inflate the results as if the engine was naturally aspirated one, which loses power due to altitude above sea level and air temperature over 25°C(77°F) as standard parameters. That's a devious and corrupt way to sell fake horsepower.

Gonna run stagger 265/235 I think, and do a bit of toe out (relative to stock), and loosen everything and see if I can squeeze a bit more camber out of the front. I might move the battery to the front of the trunk too. On the Bug or Jetta with similar mods, you could just dive into a corner hard, lift off and the car starts to rotate. Nail the throttle as you hit the apex and a beautiful drift ensues.. Its really a blast. Gonna keep at it until I can it to rotate....
