I flew to Las Vegas with @EBCBrakesUK for the 2nd year in a row to help @Petrolheadonism unload @MatArmstrongbmx's broken Audi RS6. After offloading and looking around the Battle Of The Builders section, I quizzed Mat about exactly what happened.

You can tell Mat is not a long-term Jap car owner. My first thought would have been octane booster with this car at that tune. If I ever have to put some 95 Ron in one of my Subarus, I crawl til I can fill up with 99.

Whenever I drive my tuned twin turbo Toyota Soarer here in Australia, it has a flex fuel sensor and a rotary switch to control the boost. Each point on the switch has a different map. If I'm running 98 Octane, I dial the boost all the way down (400hp is the lowest setting), and if E85 is available, I can push the power up to 550hp. In any case Mat probably should have brought a few bottles of octane booster with him, and given he needed the Audi for transport, I'd probably have not drag raced it.

@VuBeClan 6 ай бұрын

Octane isn't boost limited unless it's 35psi/40psi+... It's Ignition Timing. You can run FAR more timing on E85, i run up to 17* at 35psi on E85 vs 35 psi and 4.5* 98 octane.

@electricsnut 6 ай бұрын

@@VuBeClan It’s all related… more boost means more heat and more pressure which affects timing. The RS6 has capacity to run lower powers for different octanes but the tuner obviously didn’t set them up…

The Fuel makes sense. The U.K. Honda FK8 produced 316bhp but the US Honda FK8 only had 306bhp. There was a video where Honda pro Jason asked a an engineer at the factory in Swindon why there was a difference. The answer was inferior US fuel.

@petejr7583 6 ай бұрын

You have to compare apples to apples octane rating. Regardless, 10 HP less for $5/Gal+ less, not a bad trade. We have 93 octane here in Maryland, USA, which is close to the 99 UK. Fuel octane and bio fuel mix varies here by state and gas supplier, to say inferior U.S. fuel is a lazy generalization. As for the RS6 issue, if it is fuel related, then they should have been wise enough to adjust the tuning to octane before drag racing…stupid. Oh, and overtuned, highly stressed Audi engines do tend to blow up at drag strips. Sounds to me they finished off an engine that was already overstressed and overused, not so much fuel caused.

For the sparkplug to be destroyed, I'm betting the motor jumped timing and or chain broke. Low grade fuel had little to do with it. Higher octane, maybe but lower grade shouldn't grenade a motor like that. I work in construction, I have no idea what I'm saying.
