AUDI RS3 - 3 WAY DYNO COMPARISON!!! Unitronic - Stage 2 - 93 Octane 

I have been informed by HPA Motorsports that the 474hp & 473lb/ft I ran at their testing facility was actually at the CRANK and was NOT at the wheels like I thought. Their dyno showed my car making 399hp and 412lb/ft at the WHEELS!!! This proves my point even further that every single dyno I ran my car on was massively different from the other!

Thanks for shining some dyno light on us!!! Again, Hilarious and informative. Gotta love it 👌💪💪

Cool. Thanks for doing this. I remember speaking to Marcel years ago when I was one of the first customers with an issue with steel bodied KW coilovers. He went above and beyond to resolve the situation.

Great video! Thanks for shining some light on this

Awesome video...about time👍

Awesome video/content! Keep it up!

Great video, Adam

Awesome... Thanks...

How, that HPA lab (not just a dyno) is just insane! I wish we had such a professional facility here in Alberta, it really makes the other dyno setups look “Micky Mouse” in comparison, very cool! I’m going to have to have to make the time to visit HPA the next time I’m out in the area and maybe let them play with my TTRS 😁

Excellent video! Do more!

Said the same thing for years arse Dyno. Quarter mile times. Dragy times beat Dyno talk every time. Great video Thanks 👌

great video! 0-60 video of 93 octane pls

Good stuff. Amazing how much different 94 is across Canada. I’ve seen some MK7 MQB logs that look like they are on e30 and some that look like US 91ACN.

Cool videos! Just wanted to share that the drivetrain loss on AWD Audi’s are minimum 20%

@vancity audi, a little off topic, but I'm sure you've done your research - what's the weak link on these platforms for making big power with bolt ons? What seems to be breaking first?

Could I ask you a few important question as I am trying to upgrade my RS3 with a downpipe and an intercooler for stage 2 tune. I know you have a stage 2. When you installed the intercooler, did it affect the adaptive cruise control radar sensor that you have to relocate it or omit it? Did you only upgrade the downpipe without the catback system? Is your downpipe with a sport cat or de-cat?

hey nice video welldone... when can you do the timing 100-200 kmhs? :D

do you have any quarter mile times on stage 2 93 ??? if not can you do a video about it ?

how accurate is your e85 sensor? my sensor show way lower then what the actual % is when i test the fuel.

I had a car tuned by the good people at Rocket Rally a decade ago and the main guy there (Patrick?) told me the problem with Chevron 94 is it may come from the refinery at 94 but due to our high gasoline prices it sits and degrades as most people opt for cheaper fuels. I wish Chevron would post which stations use the most 94.

Great vidz, Miss my RS3 (in storage) ... Damm Quebec winter. Personnaly I don't care much about 1/4 or 1/2 miles but I'm thinking about going hybrid turbo next summer.

Adam, your first Dyno said CHP but you claimed who is that a typo? As the stock power was bang on

Why don't you put your interior back into the car for the winter ?

Is that hoodie your wearing for sale?

Hey man any specific reason you don't go for any APR stuff?

Ah yes the good ole friction loaded dyno aka a Heartbreaker. My Q60 put down 455whp and 477wtq on one. I was expecting close to 500whp and around 520wtq. They definitely get ya lol. But now after researching different dynos i prefer the heartbreaker.

At 1:57, the 578 whp on E85 fuel is not more than Unitronic has advertised. Unitronic has advertised 621 hp (at the crank) on E85 fuel, for Stage 2.

HPA blips that you received is the power you'd be making in FWD as the Haldex slips in and out of AWD mode (since those rollers aren't link) The Superflow reads high for sure. 400AWHP on a stock RS3? Now that's interesting that you went on an AWD MD. I was on the same model and it's a pretty rough reading for sure in fact it's hard to be be sure what to think because I can have my verified Mass Flow and those LBS/MIN do not reflect realistic numbers at the tire. The NEW Mustang Dynos are even stranger they try to take you through a decel to determine loss, but Haldex systems aren't always AWD during decel and it ends up taking the WHP reading and then applying a reduced correction factor because of that process. For instance it told me my 2008 AWD Saab Turbo X (6MT) had a 9% drivetrain loss... You'd think it would read higher, but the new setup doesn't work like that. It preemptively reads less. Like the correction factor is part of the initial reading equation. Increasing the drivetrain loss artificially tells the Dyno that whatever number it makes NOW, is at a higher power level than it is, because it's factoring a loss factor up front. So this is kind of weird - at least the new MD stuff is. Also you're not seeing Haldex issues on that MD Dyno they just don't have crazy smoothing on their stuff Hey Adam, did the MD you were on have a stock RS3 by chance? Also I'd love to see what the car does on straight 93 on the MD. This was an awesome video! Thank you

If they advertise 554bhp x .15%(drivetrain loss)= 83.1bhp 554 - 83.1 = 470.9whp You did plenty of 470whp pulls in the vid. Is right in par of what you are doing. No one out there is going to give you mustang numbers for their convenience. Everyone is showing dynojet numbers to show more. I do agree with you that we need to stop going to dynos for numbers and go to the track. Plus you have a better time at the 1/4 mile.

Why wouldn't you do these all in fwd???

Comparing dyno results as long as they are all a dynojet is never a waste of time as they will be similar. It's only a waste of time when you decide to compare numbers from say a Dynocom, Mustang, and Dynojet. The first two can be manipulated easily to read high or low. The Dynojet cannot due to the way it reads based on inertia. This is basic stuff.

I got custom stage 2 tuned and it made 430 on the dyno 😢

First!

Trust me that fuel is not worst then California crap 91, which change from summer to winter blend.

Unitronic stage 2 93, on the site it says 540hp 🤔

Exactly... What's the point of having 1100hp and do nothing but donuts and coldstarts ? Not mentioning any names dde 😝👨‍🌾

Best way is to see how fast you car is, to see how many friends you have when your accelerating and at high speed Stationary power figures don’t allow for the drivers skill or the size of their balls 👍🏻

But you’re comparing numbers when you race your car...🤔

Don't see a cage yet...... 😡

BS they should stop making false advertisements. They should get expose and put out of business for purposely lying to get people to spend thousands of dollars.
