JHM's new billet PCV kit for the Audi RS5
To Purchase, email me at sales@redmistracing.com or go to my web store, redmistracing.com/ols/products/jhm-billet-pcv-kit
JHM has come up with an innovative solution and replacement for those fragile OEM PCV valves which cost over $300 each. If your RS5 has suddenly started to sound like it's whistling at idle, your PCV valves have gone bad. It's also a good pre-emptive move to reduce oil consumption as the valves can go bad over time prior to developing a completely torn diaphragm and the dreaded whistle.

    I had a quick question regarding the MTF side. So you kept saying do the fill specification for the MTF side first before the ATF. What does that mean? Do I do the procedure of starting the car and checking if anything drips out before it reaches the temperature for the MTF side first and then shut off the car and let it cool down to do the ATF side? Or am I suppose to check both fill plugs within the temperature window? Sorry I don’t wanna mess this up haha

    • @RS5Fanatic
      @RS5Fanatic 6 днів тому

      You had it right the first time. Change the MTF fluid first, do not drain the ATF fluid yet. Full MTF fluid change, check the level on the MTF side then move to the ATF side. If you do the ATF side first, the transmission is hot by the time you're done and it'll affect how much MTF fluid you can pump in with the car flat. By doing the MTF side first, you're working with a cold transmission until you move to the ATF side and do the final step of filling the ATF side while the car is running. Instead of using the factory ATF side measuring method, I always use the measure and replace method as it's just easier. You can measure what's taken out and put the same amount, with some extra for spillage, back in. I do still check the final amount using the factory method for measuring which again, requires the car be on and running. Hope that helps! If you have more questions, you can reach me here (going to space this all out so the BOTS don't grab my contact info, so jus remove the spaces and replace "at" with @. sales at red mist racing dot com.

    • @RS5Fanatic
      @RS5Fanatic 2 місяці тому

      Because I actually lost hp with the Eventuri intake vs. the stock system. I tested both on two different dynamometers, swapping the intakes with the car still strapped down. There are also several design issues with the Eventuri which cause the filters to clog up sooner requiring more maintenance and they never sealed well, allowing for the ingestion of hot engine bay air. Save your money, there are better ways to make actual hp. You can reach out to me and I can point you in the right direction.

I also think I found a solution for the pesky grommets but I’ll have to get back with that if I reach the conclusion it actually works. Thanks again ! And…….wish me luck 🫶

      @@RS5Fanatic So far it’s was fun, the solution for the grommets worked really well, don’t know how you do the process so fast as I spent a whole day on 6 cylinders just to get them clean. So far brake cleaner used in moderation was the fastest to dissolve the gunk. I also must be the only one on the planet that had the injector on cylinder 1 stuck that when I used the pulling tool the whole plastic end snapped so now I had to pull it out. Took a block of plywood, a crowbar a vice grip and penetrating oil to get it out 😡. Called the dealership for replacement air ai ai, on back order and also expensive a/f so I’m waiting for eBay to deliver a couple of used ones purchased for 150 🤞. I need to clear my friends garage so I went and took it out of service position assembled the bits in the front, did spark plugs after gapping them and so on. I can’t do much else without the missing injector. Also I meant to ask how nervous should I be about the injectors acting up, I didn’t protect them from debris as much as I should have. Is there a way to clean them somehow ? I heard at home is pointless without ultrasonic machine pressure testing and so on….. Thank you !

      @@RaresBalanean It took me a day to do it initially. If I had a larger air compressor at the time, it would have gone more quickly. Debris shouldn't hurt the injectors but a bit of tape over the top can't hurt if you've left them in the bores. It's important to make sure you replace the teflon seals if the injectors came up out of the bores at all. And to clean the bores really well. The latest injectors have "AD" at the end of their part number. They seem to be more reliable than "AC". You are correct on cleaning at home, can carefully wipe off the injector end but that's about it. I don't think ultrasonic cleaning works either as you can't test them at actual operating pressure and the internal pintel wears/develops cavities due to carbon so you then get inconsistent flow. New injectors are your best bet but $$$$.

      @@RS5Fanatic Alright, so rigged a 12v transformer to energize the injectors, then simulated the fuel rail cup so the o-ring seals and through a hole in the cup blasted carburetor cleaner through for a few times and they atomized alright given the can pressure. Also I wanted to check if they leak, all that was for my peace of mind mostly, then assembled everything back according to your specs. Started at second try, ran rough for 5 seconds then settled down lovely. I had my VAG connected I have OBD11, had 4 faults but I assume they were from removing the battery. Cleared faults and rescan, no faults after that. So I’m assuming I’m in the clear. I did a coolant drain, only about 2 gallons came out of almost 4 🤷🏻‍♂️, I guess a flush would have been better but the coolant looked alright so I’m not too worried. Runs fantastic, I think consumption improved, is more responsive, shifts better, and sounds better. Thanks again for your support.

      If you purchased the tune through JHM, you'll have to go through them. Tuning@jhmotorsports.com. Are you following the directions and using a battery charger? If the voltage is too low, it can cause issues up to and including bricking your ECU. You MUST use a charger. I usually hook one up an hour or so in advance. Did you have any other tunes on the car prior to going with the JHM? Can email me, sales@redmistracing.com.

    I read your write up, and watched this videos. When it comes to purging the diff of air, is it recommended to jack it back up, level it and check the fluid level again? Just to verify it's filled correctly

    • @RS5Fanatic
      @RS5Fanatic 5 місяців тому

      You CAN do that, and it wouldn't hurt. If you use the measurement method, measuring what comes out and putting that amount back in, you should be good to go. It's helpful for people who can't jack it up on all four corners or get it level.

    • @RS5Fanatic
      @RS5Fanatic 6 місяців тому

      Honestly it'll come down to how big your air compressor is. I also have a way to do this without putting the car in the service position now. I spread it out over two days in the video but a lot of that was due to filming. I would say it took me eight hours, mostly due to the fact my air compressor was too small. Today, with a bigger air compressor, I could do it in about four hours including swapping in new injector seals. If you have any questions, can email me, sales@redmistracing.com.

      Ouch. Injectors have gotten very expensive (bout $300 per injector) and it does require the upper and lower intake manifold to come off the car. It's not super hard but it's one of those things dealers can charge a lot for unfortunately.

    • @RS5Fanatic
      @RS5Fanatic 6 місяців тому

      I wouldn't do the AWE. I can get you the Kline system in either inconel super alloy or stainless steel. You get to choose from two different carbon fiber exhaust tip styles and the mufflers are valvetronic meaning they are still valved. The problem with the AWE system is there are no valves and there's a lot of drone. If you email me, I can provide you a price quote and delivery time along with more info on the Kline system. They are the best out there and hand fabricated in Europe. The inconel system weighs less than a comparable titanium exhaust system. My email is sales@redmistracing.com.

    whats up with the cross contamination how did you manage that when using the brake bleeder with different fluids for atf/mtf? also you said you used the motul 300??? you mean for the rear dif right??? not the transmission.

    • @RS5Fanatic

      I did not cross contaminate. I avoided this by using different bleeders OR by cleaning out the bleeder's container with denatured alcohol. For Motul, it's GEAR 300 for the rear diff. I no longer recommend Gear 300 for the transmission as the formula changed. Redline has a higher VI index now.
