  • ‪@MotorOliTV‬ brought me an MTM Audi S3 for a lap of the Nürburgring. The base was great with one big downside: the car just returned from a car show with show tire setup. It is definitely not suited for the track. Nevertheless, we had fun.

    That "roll cage" had me rolling. Toyo stickers on the tires, flashy colours, lots of power but no grip. "It's a show car" really sums it up well I guess.

      Yeah this is what I was thinking too. My APR Stage 2 8V S3 needs an oil cooler to keep the temps around 210f, before I had that it was jumping up to 240-250f frequently, which isn't overly bad, but... it's still alot more than the standard 190-210f regular running temp for my climate.

On mine I had to upgrade both the radiator and install an external oil cooler and that is with close to stock power (Basic bolt-on's with a remap, still stock turbo)

    The oil Temp was hanging around 140c ... too high.
    Not sure that engine will be lasting very long unless the oil system is upgraded... I could be wrong, but tempts that high would concern me.
    At around 135c the oil starts to break down and won't be doing it's job, just when you are really pushing the engine.

    Some thoughts from a 2019 GTI owner in the US. I'm fairly familiar with MQB of course, and a few things really surprised me about this build. Right away, I'm shocked they kept the stock single piston sliding front calipers. All they did is paint them Yellow and put the MTM logo on them. Absolutely not up to the task of slowing down almost twice the stock horsepower in my opinion. Also, the oil temps got ridiculously hot. Did they not fit an oil cooler? I would have expected that for such a large bump in power and for a car thats expected to see even a moderate amount of track time. And while the tires are contributing to the understeer, I'm very surprised MTM didn't fit a larger rear swaybar. That's one of the first things I'd do, it makes such a massive difference on turn in, and it's easy and cheap. But maybe it really is just a show car lol

    Loss of power because of the Oil Temperature. You need an oil cooler and if you've not got a larger heat exchanger/intercooler - i'd upgrade that too, to a thicker core. It can take it, plenty of space. But you absolutely need that - you'll even make more power more consistently.

      I'm also interested on that as it was mounted as a some kind of "removable" rollcage, or at least without much changes on the original. It might be a good option if you (and I do) want a cage but don't want to completely change your car to a race car.

    People. The engine placement in this car is not different than any other hothatch. All transverse engined fwd/awd/4wd cars have BOTH the engine and the gearbox slightly in front of the front axle. CTR, focus, megane, i30n etc. All your favourite hothatches have the same engine placement configuration. Engine and gearbox slighlty in front of the front axle and on the back of the gearbox the differential.
    The reason most audis understeer at the limit is not the engine location. They tend to be neutral, then incline towards understeer at the limit. It is the way they are setup from the factory. If you want to change that you need first of all a thicker rear sway bar. Also these tires are not meant for trackdays, let alone in a car with much more than the stock power.

    • @badcam70
      @badcam70 2 роки тому

      140C is ok for a short while but at that temp it degrades and will loose lubrication effects and oil change more often , oil change to my C6 dry sump is 10.5 litres and 200eur.

      Typical ignorant comment. ALL transverse fwd/awd/4wd cars have both the engine and the gearbox in front of the front axle. You just heard someone say it like all these other people and keep repeating it without having real knowledge.

      @@NachoBides so he's an ignorant but you just confirmed what he said 😂
      And not all transverse-engine cars have overhang on the front, the Toyota iQ doesn't for example. The only reason it's done this way is because it's cheaper, you'd need clever packaging or to increase the wheelbase to make it work which costs money. And VAG sure loves having its Golf-derivatives built as cheaply as possible while gouging the customer for as much money as possible.
