This guy is selling his S8 and it apparently dyno’d at 480 whp with the flaps removed after a custom remap.
Here’s the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFbj66fHAK4
and here’s the dyno sheet: http://www.3dink.co.uk/audis8/dyno.jpg
Guess that means our cars can’t be that far behind…? I need to get a dyno session done anyway I think.
Well they are claiming 480CHP not whp. There is a big difference.
Still even the dyno sheet they have is a bit bloated. And there are clearly a few things that just don’t add up.
As of all of the dyno results we have seen.
The 5.2 S6 make
260whp for cars with broken intake manifolds
275whp for cars with bad carbon / but a good intake.
300whp to 310whp for cars with no carbon, no broken intakes, and good injectors.
The S8 car for sale said it made 300whp with bad carbon and a broken intake manifold. Apparently the flaps were stuck on the long runner costing the car top end hp.
Then after a new intake manifold with flaps removed and only running on the long runner install after a broken intake that we know adds 40/50whp and then a carbon clean and this is hard to tell because its hard to tell how bad the carbon is. adds another 10 to 20whp
Overall the hp added after getting a good carbon clean. Getting an intake with open top end flaps adds up to the range of hp the car picked up. But the TQ numbers never changed. So its fishy for sure and the beginning dyno figure is clearly bloated.
lol my bad, i was reading too fast or got so excited that my mind didn’t want to see it was a “c” instead of a “w” lolol
Not a big deal. I just wanted to help reel you back in LOL.
With the JHM full exhaust LW crank pulley intake spacers and tune its a big blast in power. Options are out there excitement is there. But I think its all still short of 480whp.
The one JHM header car made over 100whp over stock so maybe with the right parts. Still sad to see lots of these guys moving on. I think the v10 has a strong life cycle left.
I would guesstimate that my S6, which has virtually all the available upgrades, is high-300’s WHP. There’s no way it’s pushing 500WHP, and in fact is probably only barely pushing that at the crank. It’s a very powerful motor once the JHM upgrades set it loose, but it’s still definitely not 480WHP (which would be like 650 CHP, right?)
Remember, guys who are selling cars are… salesmen. They will tell you whatever it takes to make you open your wallet.
Great point on the salemen line so true.
I would agree that your car with the mods provided would push you into the mid to high 300 range. We know the tune depending on supporting mods is good for a big chunk of power and Tq. Do you still have that milltek on the car.
Unfortunately yes, I would love the JHM upgrade, but there are too many other things in life that I need to put money towards first.
You already have a fantastic car. Not having the exhaust yet just leaves more love for the car in the future. Knowing there is more hp and sound whenever you want it LOL.
