MRA1900 Breakdown with Jose Mercado of MercRacing

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Jose Mercado from ‪@mercracing‬ came to the Audi C7 Owners garage last weekend so we could install his beautiful MRA1900 onto my A6. We filmed an entire install diy that will be released very soon, but we also thought it would be a great idea to have Jose break down the supercharger & give you guys a look at why it is so special. Let us know your thoughts & questions (we than how much hp it's making) in the comments below.

    Leave your comment and questions here... other than How much HP does it make and what are 1/4 mile times. That info is coming! In the mean time, check out the Supercharger Kit here: mercracing.net/shop/audi-3-0t-supercharger-kit/

    Fantastic looking kit with great potential for the 3.0T! When I saw this vid pop up my immediate thought was to hold off on my current plan to upgrade from my current B8 S4 with the CAKA 3.0 to a C7.5 RS6 and go for this kit. But as my car doesn't see any more than around 6k miles a year I can't justify the cost to go all out and modify it from stage 2 to 3. Wish this kit was available a couple of years ago! Can't wait to see it available as a complete kit with matching tunes to see what it puts out on peoples cars. The current stage 2 tunes available for the 3.0T are fantastic and hold it's own against many much more powerful cars - this stage 3 setup looks to be an Audi RS/BMW M/Merc AMG killer! I'm sure the likes of MRC and APR will be watching with interest and we'll see them offering tuning packages at some point here in the UK. Thanks again for all the hard work and keeping interest in the 3.0T alive!

    Great vids man! Always watch your tutorials before wrenching on my S4 with a 3.0T. Did you ever do a vid on the upper timing covers? Mine are leaking and seems like it can’t be done without the motor or tranny out. There’s three bolts on the aluminum shield over the Combi valve attached to the timing chain covers and the lower ones are impossible to reach because the cats are in the way. Dealership wants 7k to apply $8 tube of rvt silicone. Could be a great DIY vid!

    To clarify, do you need to update the oem engine mounts and assume the jackel programming is compatible?

  • @AudiC7Owners

    @AudiC7Owners

    6 ай бұрын

    No, you don't have to. Just know whenever you upgrade your mounts the engine will sit higher which may bring the supercharger closer to your hood until the mounts settle. Jackal doesn't have a file for the supercharger yet, but that's not to say they won't develop one if a customer buys it and works with them

    Does this kit bolt onto the C7 directly? I am brand new to the group and just got my audi a week ago, ive been binging these videos and am still trying to figure out if i have a c7 or c7.5. regardless I am trying to figure out every piece of info to make this car as badass as possible while taking every precaution and preliminary step. Kind of diverged there, so back to the og question, is this compatible with the c7? I am going to do the four crucial upgrades from that " four necessary upgrades" video before anything else too.

    But we aren't using it on a stock crank. It's on a 191mm crank. So we are at a 2.5 ratio which is still conservative for this blower.

    I've seen this at least 2 years ago. The cost was also going to be something astronomical, so I wrote it off immediately. From what I remember, APR had a supercharger upgrade right at the beginning of the platform that was canned because the 3.0 supercharged Audi engines need to be built to withstand more than 550hp. Stock internals will fail above that. It doesn't make financial sense to push these cars past 500hp. There are better cars in the Audi lineup that offer more return on investment.

  • @AudiC7Owners

    @AudiC7Owners

    6 ай бұрын

    That is all completely false. These engines can handle 700whp. Fueling is the restriction and APR gave up on it because they couldn't make fast money on it without reveling a fueling fix.
