400 HP RevoTechnik Big Turbo Audi A3 2.0T - (Track) One Take
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- The Audi A3 is a fine car with the 2.0T powerplant (it's a dog with the 1.8), but it lives in the shadow of its bigger brothers, the S3 and RS3. RevoTechnik's IS38 big-turbo upgrade and the accompanying hardware make for a compelling argument when shopping for a used A3, but wanting more power and better handling for less than the price of a new S3. Making 400 HP at the crank, and backing it up with full suspension and big brakes, this A3 is a screamer on the track.

This video makes me happy I bought a 2015 A3
Me too bro. How you liking it?
@@flowfactoryinc07 hey im thinking about buying one, is it worth it ?
Plup yes. Had it for 2 years now and zero problems and it’s stage 2 by revo. Great car and good on gas too.
Plup I would get the s-line package if you can if not it’s still fine.
@@flowfactoryinc07 yeah the s-line gets the paddles i think right? anyways cool so its good on reliability and how much is your stage 2 pushing?
"They tell me, faster than an s3"
Lol this A3 is wayyyyyyyyy faster than a stock s3 in every way
Faster than an rs3 that make about 360 wheel on a mustang
@@TheG60528XiJinPing rs3 makes 400 hp stock not 360 🤦🏻♂️
@@dannyvaladez6529 wheel horse power 🤦
@@dannyvaladez6529 the pre 2017 (generation shown is video) made 360 crank also, double wrong 🤦
Literally just bought this same car color and all. Its is a 2016 A3 2.0T Black Optics Package. It has (stock) a sport suspension, the S3 body kit, tinted tail lights, and 18 inch 5 spoke razor blade rimes. My build is as follows..... JB1 Piggyback Tuner on 93 octane, Powder Coat rims completely Satin Black, 45% tint, Tint out the yellow on the headlight (somehow), de-badge rear with the exception of the Audi badge, and possibly spacers if they don't look weird without the car being lowered. Should be around 310 HP and 370TQ on 93 octane, will ride like an Audi, and look mature yet sporty. All this is the reason I passed up on the STI, EVO, and S3. The Golf R though however seems to be the bargain if you can stand the Golf like characteristics, find a dealer that isn't trying to increase the MSRP, and find a dealer that has one in stock. The STI and EVO are too rough of a daily driver for me as for as ride quality and comfort. The S3 in my opinion is not worth that money as for 379.99 I now have performance that can surpass the S3, STI, and EVO. JB1 has been ordered, but 6/16 is estimated restock date.
On Audizine or instagram? got a '15 myself.
I object to your hate on the 1.8t. I have one as a run around car and I freaking love it! its an absolute blast in the canyons and gets insane mpg
You have a fun job Matt. I'm looking at an a3 right now. I prefer the 2.0t 6mt because I do mostly slow city driving and I like to tear through the first few gears.
I used to do concrete and asphalt work and one entire summer I spent in Chrysler proving grounds in Chelsea MI. They had a smaller track they called the handling coarse where they ran the srt cars all day. I'll never forget it. This one driver used to run at the very outer edge of the limit at all times. It was insane. There was shredded rubber all over the track when he was done. Coolest job in the world.
But does the rear end rotate?
i think it comes right around when you least expect it
@@TVCHLORDThis^^ Haldex will bite you in the ass sometimes if you aren’t expecting it.
Yay Revo!
Making something that keeps Mr. Farah's attention on-track out of such a benign platform is commendable.
Hands down my favorite car series on UA-cam. Glad he's done a couple drives with cars like mine. He's done REVO and APR, but now he should drive my United Motorsports stage 2 tuned Golf R to prove if there is a difference. So far holds the 1/4 mile record for all MK7/MQB tuners on stock turbos. Plus I'm in AZ so not too far.
+Mark Franco PSST... secret for you. They all feel exactly the same from the drivers seat.
+TheSmokingTire have you had an R on yet?
+Joel deSanto he had a MK7 R press car a few months back.
Why does it have a built in Geiger counter?
its for turbo radiation
German emission standards require it.
Robert Trujillo woah it's Rob. And it's only the volkswagen diesels that need that lol
I Love Matt Farah, but let's face it he is not Chris Harris when it comes to driving Skills, he always find excuses to his average racing skills ! nonetheless the Top Gear Crew all suck at racing yet they had the most famous car magazine, he should stop coming up with excuses for his racing errors !
+luimarco
Yeah, he should push that car more. That car that he's not familiar with and that isn't his, on that damp track where he's been invited to have a test drive. I'm sure it would be great for Matt and the channel if he regularly wrecks a press car because he's trying to go all Ayrton Senna and put down impressive time attack numbers.
they're not his cars.. so doesnt he wanna risk going off the track.. he drives better than most and probably has more experience behind the wheel then you and I combined...
+luimarco yeah this channel sucks this fat guy isn't even as fast as aryton senna around the nurburgring in the snow with a henessy venom gt what a loser maybe he's slower than chris harris because of the weight disadvantage.
go upload a faster wet lap on that (or any) track or mind your business.
in my opinion he's improving and he's anything but slow or lacking driving skills.
So where can we watch your racing videos? What races have you won recently? Sounds like you could teach us all how to be expert racecar drivers.
and why isn't he doing any reverse entrys with 360° drifts what a terrible driver.
I love the all the camera angles, they are unobtrusive to each other and placed perfectly. Great video once again Matt!
"Hasnt been ruined, stil feels like an audi" i like that
All awd cars rotate around the back end by lifting the gas. That is also why a awd is quicker with rallying. Lift the gas, steer in, when the nose points the right way step on the gas again and accelerate out of the corner. The Nissan GTR is all based on this principale combined with torque vectoring. You should have known this Matt :s
No, not all AWD cars do that. Very few AWD road cars do that.
+TheSmokingTire Sorry I putt it in the wrong words and I apologise, an awd drivetrain tends to do it naturally but engineering of the wheelsuspension and geometry can cancel it out what they do for safety these days. Like instance the base model of this very Audi a3. If you stiffen everything up as springs and aspecially the roll bars brings back the notorious awd oversteer. It is not a bad thing, it even makes the laptimes lower. But nowadays the cars a conservative safe and you are right there Matt. The old Subaru, Audi had it.
+jdcabauwnl if you think that go drive any audi with AWD then go drive any subaru with AWD, not all AWD is the same dude.
+jdcabauwnl subarus have completely different awd as audis. most all wheel drives understeer like fuck from my experience
+jdcabauwnl uh, no. the only natural thing here is the transition of center of mass, when on and off the power and not AWD's "natural behavior". AWD works like you tell it to. In this care I think most of the torque goes to the front and mimics a sorted FWD car
On video it never seems like you're going as fast as you really are because we the viewers can't feel the acceleration obviously, but even knowing that, this still looked really fast. Very impressive! I love watching these One Takes :)
In the market for a used 16-18 a3. Prices are around 19k-24k in my area. Can't wait to pick one up. Making sure I get a 2.0t Quattro awd. If only the s3 weren't 36-37k used in my area.
dude i got a 16 2.0T in feb 2022, Its been awesome other then sparkplugs so far lol. great car very quick especially with launch control being stock!!!!
that new camera angle is perfect please keep it and make it work with the sunlight if possible. nice vid as always, I think Matt makes good use of all these track days and improves his racing.
So, Revo tunes their suspension for the back to rotate? That's very cool. However on these cars I wouldn't go 19", seems overkill. I'd figure 18s with the same width are a better balance of looks, lightweight and comfort.
I think it's more from the rear sway bar and other suspension components.
ok
+She Swallowed It
Did you get these tips from Cesar, CJ?
WindmillStalker Not fast cars, but beautiful cars, eh?
Nah these rotate even stock, it's pretty fun lol. When it's lowered it's even more fun and go kart like.
dual camera set up is interesting. Nice to see what's happening in the cabin. Too bad it wasn't manual so we could see you downshift 8 times into a corner like Fast and Furious.
Lack of confidence in high speed corners is caused by the steering (5 laps of the ring in a modded S3 have taught me this)
+Daniel Kelly (Dandanfings) lack of confidence in high speed corners was caused by cold temperatures, summer tires, wet racing surface, and about 40 feet of wet grass then a tire wall.
+thesmokingtire
Any idea on the total cost of all the mods on the car?
Looks like a great car. Why don't you like the 1.8T though? I drove one with the S-Line package (bigger wheels & sport suspension) and while it wasn't fast, it was quick enough to be fun on the street and I found it entertaining on back roads. Maybe we just have two different opinions of it, that said, a GTI is a much better buy for the money.
next car for sure!
biggest advantage is you can get an a3 in manual. s3 you cannot. but i assume the s3 has a lot of drivetrain upgrades that can't be had is the a3.
you got my attention now
nice series on the revo cars matt! hope you enjoyed my home state :)
...but does it have a warranty?
+Bestwick1983 A bumper to bumper warranty???
ok
+Swiss Exantor ok
I'd like to see a one take from a more oldscool Audi's as the s1/s2/rs2/urquattro
Yeah, I would say do much time reviewing VW audi, but hey I dig them.
How expensive of the package?
If possible, a speedo cam on the tracks would be bitchin! Love the vids, sir!
It's a little hard to appreciate the speed from the roof camera perspective. In the future, would it be possible to move the inside sunroof camera to the speedometer for a video on a track like this?
I don't feel that the angle above/behind you really adds to anything to the video, and it would be totally awesome to see those big speedo numbers on the long straights! As it stands, it makes these revo cars seem "slow" even though I know they are fast. It's all because of the camera perspective.
Loved the video.
Cool car, I still dig the GTI way better.
ok
+Swiss Exantor ok
GTI for racing from a 40 and A3 Quattro for those 4 second 0-60 times.
I'd love to see someone tune a Volvo V40 2.0 T
ok
We have a modified Volvo V40 T5 coming soon
+Swiss Exantor ok
+Ian Townsend Would you also be interested in an 850 T5 :P ?
+TheSmokingTire boo, T4 is better.
Matt, when can we see a one-take with your Vanquish?
A black headliner is a free option on this car. Why grey?
Do you think this company can tune a stock vw jetta with the 2.5L engine that's an automatic?
1:40. What GTi has 380mm 6 piston brakes?
+Stefan WRX the GTi that he drove before this car look at the previous One Takes
+Stefan WRX A one with aftermarket brakes.
ok
+Stefan WRX
This is the Revo BBK.
+Swiss Exantor ok
How does this compare to the IS38 GTI in terms of speed and fun? Right now I have my APR K04 MK6 GTI and I'm really tempted to upgrade to the A3 so long as it doesnt feel to docile.
+Mike Disieno In terms of speed from a roll I would say the GTI is faster because it's lighter and FWD. Seemed like he liked this more since he always had to let off in the corners in the GTI.
+Imad S Agreed but keep in mind the GTI didn't have an LSD and the track was less dried out when he was in it. I'd be interested in tire size and model between the two as well. The Audi really performed well around this track though, from the transitions on the slower sweepers to the entrances of the straights it looked balanced!
lcq4blackstar Yes good points. If the GTI was the PP it would have been a lot more fun if the reviews comparing the two are anything to go by.
Is this summit point?
Can someone tell me how much the required hardware parts would cost ?
Buy an a3 swap motor and your still under 30-40 by far it's a good car with mods. If you by an s3 I feel as though you over spent. I'd get a a3 and work up I care about saving then anything
Only a turbo swap and tune not a motor swap.
what's the total cost of the upgrade? i've got an A3 that's itching to be modded.
Love it!
any 996 turbo one takes coming up?
Matt, I have heard you say your old S4 and others B5 S4's were a bit of a handful, I have also heard this car is about the same size as the old B5 chassis, how would you compare a lightly modded B5 S4 back in the day to this car?
This car would smoke almost any B5 S4 around a race track. Significantly better in the corners, better brakes, more power out of a smaller engine, better gearbox, better AWD tuning
Nothing bores me more than VWs and Audis zzzz. But I'll still watch cuz I enjoy every One Take.
Nothing bores me more than people who are bored by VW's and Audi's.
+ste har That's unfortunate.
+falagarius Agreed.
+ste har Nothing bores me more than people who are bored by people who are bored by VWs and Auudis. And who don't know how to use a semicolon.
+Benedocta Nothing bores me more than people who are bored by people who are bored by people who are bored by VW's and Audi's (and don't know how to spell Audi or when a semicolon is actually needed). Ok, your turn to keep the dance moving along. I can hardly wait as I have a penchant for all things insipid.
Does it rotate similar to the st's?
Show the engine work. We wanna see what it took to reach 400hp
I feel it was a huge mistake to not make these little fun sporty cars in manual
Does this have a haldex tune?
hey Matt (or anyone else for that matter), what track is this at?
Hey Matt any idea what those 19" wheels are?
please drive the rs3 8v fl
I think this Audi A 3 is more like a front wheel drive., it is a all wheel drive.
Exhaust?
is it Quattro?
That feeling when you can't get the A3 2.0T in Australia -_-
Jue_boy U can now 🤧
should checkout TheCarPassionChannel and his Turbo 1.8 MX-5, he is local aswell
ok
+Swiss Exantor ok
Looks lovely! I would like it swapped to rwd and with a manual!
Might be the most unintelligent comment
This comment made no sense whatsoever
Looking very distinguished there Matt, you need some leather driving gloves ;-)
So this whole kit is $2k? If so, that's pretty damn good. I just wonder how long that VW 2.0 liter will take the punishment from the bigger turbo.
Punishment? It's the same engine & turbo found in the S3. If anything would hurt it, i'd be the tune. This really isn't a "BIG TURBO"
dcb592 bigGER you silly bitch
+Croo ookie With a refined tune, the motor isn't going to wear that much faster than stock.
+Croo ookie not much at all, APR is making mid to high 400's on their Borg Warner EFR turbo all day with zero issues
+Croo ookie still an OEM turbo...used on OEM motors. No different than K04 turbos on mk6 gtis
This guy drives me nuts....
hey Matt, is there a reason why you don't record on 1080?
+No Way It's done in 1080/60 adjust your settings.
hey matt, do you have any modified ecoboost mustangs on the agenda?
+Steven Kudlacek we already did this one ua-cam.com/video/WDEL5_d0Ako/v-deo.html
Question for you gearheads: if you get bigger wheels with wider tires, do you need to upgrade your brakes?
+Arrtus TV If you put 22" wheels on your Austin mini, yes.
More grip, so more room for stopping power. You dont have to do it but it looks kinda silly with big wheels and tiny discs and beside this you want to use the extra gripp there is for braking or accelerating. And big wheels kill acceleration on a underpowerd car and deacceleration. So I would say yes but dont make your wheels to big because thing about unspring weight of the rim and the brake. Look at indycar or F1. Tiny fat wheels for the win.
jdcabauwnl Well, I have a Z that has 235/35/17 in the back and 225/35/17 in the front and I'm changing to 295/35/18 rear and 275/35/18 front. Do you think I'd be good with upgrading just rotors and pads?
+Arrtus TV The wheels are big :-| Dont.forget your tacho is going to be off. It is a option but if I was you I would invest in bigger brakes and wider wheels with the right offset.
+jdcabauwnl the tach won't be off.
iRacing has taught me this track. xD
ok

So then what does an s3 have over this A4?
+dumkopf A3*
Lots
What does he mean its a dog with a 1.8, is that good or bad?
Austin Taylor he means that it’s a tiny engine but has big balls
i think matt is trying to do an European car month lol
"Yea my car is stock turbo"
Sucks us b8 A4 guys don't get this much hp.
That's what happens when you use the same engine in a base model and an S model. You can easily tune it to the same power if not more. But - you don't get the nice seats and I'm sure there are other premium items you forgo. I'd take a GTI over an A3 and deff take a Golf R over an S3... simply for the manual option.
Can we get a proper one-take with your Delorean?
+Jack Skellington yeah I know lol. But it seriously would be nice to get a real "driving impression" of the Delorean. There are few serious videos on UA-cam about the car.
Yes, when it comes back from service
Basically a S3 king sleeper
ok
+Swiss Exantor you seem very interested in peoples opinions.
+ye ye okayy?
So is it better than an S3?
No, just faster than stock s3. But, stage 2 s3 is a beast!
@@LOUCABRASIThis would probably be on par with a stage 2 s3.

probably fast but looks so boring to drive.
"conservative AWD system" -- is this car not FWD ?
+Torrey B it's an Audi
It has a Haldex AWD system, so it FWD until it needs the rear wheel's help.
+Cobalt SS Many A3's are FWD
How does this S-tronic/DSG handle this power? They are known to not handle much power over stock and break.
+Mads Randen
Actually you are very wrong.
+Mads Randen I've never heard that before. All the DSG cars I've driven with reasonable modifications have held it just fine. I drove a 740 HP, TT VR6 Golf with a DSG and it was great.
the opposite is true...these gearboxes can handle torque
missed almost every apex.. wow
More Japanese cars please! Too much American and European.
What's he gonna drive? There is only the Miata, BR-Z, 370Z, RC-F and GT-R.
Joel deSanto oh no.. There's.. Modified Toyota ke70, starlet kp60/kp61, old celicas and so on. And skyline gtr, silvia and so on!
revotechniks tuning is just bad stage tuning in my opinion is dumb every every car is the same that way there is no custom aspect
+ricki josevski (Rickisgamertag)
It's dumb because we take the time to properly calibrate the software? not too many end users can properly tune a car...
When a DSG gearbox changes up a gear, is the sound of disappointment.
Just ditch this darn Haldex system already and leave it for the lowly VWs. Audis need to stay with Quattro, optional sport diffs, torque vectoring etc.
This channel has really fallen off lately. I really like Matt Farah and I find him very informative and professional (especially considering his vids from when he was a few years younger), but lately I struggle to watch a whole video. Getting quite boring in my opinion
You dont know how to drive them man
vw group ... boring, Matt get a car next time, leave those accessories with wheels to lawyers and dentists...
That car sounds horrible
Great crisp Video.... Doesn't sound or look 400hp
