Anyone ever gone rs2 to s2 power?

[andyg plym]

In S2 ownership we all seem to want more power/torque etc

anybody actually ever gone backwards? As in Rs2 to Chipped S2 power?

Ive been Rs2'd (370brake) for 2 years and think its just right, if I ever changed to a different S2 (you never know) it would be dissapointing right?

Yes Andy, I found that too. I could never go back to sub 300 now, driving the S8 is just about ok, and thats only 330 but really after having the RS2 spec coupe with all the toys everything else feels a bit slow.

There are those that say a chipped K24 (-7000) (to MTM+1 equivalent with 3 Bar MAP) is just as good or better around town than a chipped full RS2 (K24-7200) set-up.

But out on the highway, they are left in the dust by the RS2 set-up car.

I went to buy a standard S2 Avant a few years back in standard trim. It felt so slow I thought something was wrong with it!
You need 300 horses plus to make these heavy Audi's feel quick.

Hybrid RS2 is the way forward

I was thinking about swapping out my RS2 turbo, but it would mean changing lots of other stuff, which I really don't want to do at the moment.

What could I expect from a hybrid RS2 turbo power wise? Also, what's the cost associated with getting the unit upgraded??

Sorry, they are wrong. You just have to drop down a gear and obliterate the K24-7000 car every time
I've driven so many of these setups now, I think all this obsession with power is sometimes unwarranted.
Realistically speaking, around a busy town, a chipped 2.2T is enough for most needs.

The only time you need more, is when you meet other people who are crazy about horsepower and want to show them :mischeif:

Assuming you also have an RS2 or RS2 spec car, 'all' I needed to achieve 392PS was a hybrid turbo from Hoffer76, bigger injectors, 3" downpipe and de-cat exhaust system and a custom map from PRJ. Have a look at PRJ's blog for the dyno graph.

how much torque?

[prj]

Dyno graph is up on my website, you can see there.
577nm, was it?

[quattrostyle]

@Dmitri I've got a hybrid RS2 turbo from Hoffer aswell, 3'' downpipe and new original RS2 injectors. Are the injectors the limiting factor and what would be realistic power with this setup?

[prj]

Injectors are definitely the limiting factor.
You need bigger ones, at least 400cc.

You could try the Bosch Green Giants, 440cc Volvo injectors. They fit perfectly and idle nicely.
You will need ideally a stronger fuel pump as well.

[Rocco]

Yes Patrick

Those injectors are only good for around 360 real HP on 4bar fpr
