The 4.0 TFSI V8 EA825 BiTurbo found in the Audi RS6/7 C8 is a serious engine, also powering many of the VWAG premium brands such as Lamborghini, Bentley and Porsche. This new EA825 Audi V8 (derived from the EA839) is a joint calibration between Porsche and AUDI and is manufactured in Zuffenhausen, the location of the new Porsche engine production facility. Developing 600PS @ 6000-6250 RPM, and 800Nm of torque it has all the right ingredients, however as we know there is room for improvement.
Our calibration has been intensively tested on our own in-house RS6 alongside our Global Development Programme. One of the main selling points of this vehicle is the refinement and the driving experience it offers, and Revo Stage 1 software compliments this feeling of refinement further, with the throttle response dialled in it gives the driver a deeper sense of connection with the car. Rather than being pulled, the increased torque gives the feeling of a firm push from the bottom of your back, and it's addictive. This car begs to be driven, optimised power delivery and a hike in torque means you can now drop below 4000rpm and still pull savagely out of any corner.
Revo offers some of the most substantial performance increases on the market, however, only the driven know that peak figures form part of a much bigger picture and are never the sole focus during Revo’s development process; it’s all about the drive. Only Revo offers a perfect balance of performance, economy and engine longevity.
Only Revo operates a Global Development Programme through its network of over 400 Revo Authorised Dealers worldwide. Access to vehicles on this scale enables the calibration team to fine-tune products before release, testing products in a wide range of climates and conditions including altitude, fuel quality, humidity. This also allows Revo to test how Revo products perform in different driving scenarios and formed a vital part in the development of Performance ECU Software.
The Revo tuning philosophy ensures that impressive performance benefits are balanced with useable, reliable power delivery that enhances the way you can drive your vehicle. Development on the road and racetrack as well as testing in controlled dyno conditions gives you a clearer picture of the performance you can expect from Revo ECU Software. Testing in this way plays an important role in ensuring the highest quality products and delivering the driving experience expected.
Only Revo performance ECU Software maintains and enhances factory safety levels along with additional driving features. With the SPS Software Switch, you can even switch between three pre-set fuel quality modes depending on the fuel you use.
For engine oil to work effectively and lubricate your engine it needs time to warm up. When you first start your car, the cold oil is at a higher viscosity and flows more slowly, limiting the protection it can give to engine components. As the engine temperature increases, so does the oil temperature. This thins the oil, enabling it to run more freely and better lubricate the moving parts of your engine. Cold Start Protection helps protect engine components by limiting RPM until the oil temperature reaches this optimum operating level.
Revo Temperature Protection is an additional safety feature that reduces overall load as the oil temperature passes a set limit. Exhaust gas temperatures (EGT) are also monitored, adapting the operating conditions (Air Fuel Ratio) to ensure they stay within safe parameters. If EGT's reach a set upper limit, then power is automatically reduced until the engine returns to a safe operating temperature. Additional changes to the calibration, including the after-run pump, to greater help control temperatures.
A combination of exhaust gas temperature (EGT) protection, coolant temperature protection and Oil temperature protection provide additional safety for your engine. Adjustment to the software impose RPM limits based on coolant temps and RPM limit suggestions if oil gets hot.
The gauges on the virtual cockpit instrument cluster have been reconfigured to represent the increased performance and calibrated for the specific performance modes.
Left foot braking and unlocked top speed have been added to the Revo software. Allowing you to fully enjoy your vehicle to its full potential, something the driven demand.
Using an SPS switch you can take advantage of the switch-ability of Revo software. The Patented OBD2 interface is the ultimate compliment to Revo performance software, giving you the ability to switch between 3 fuel quality modes and a stock mode via the vehicle OBD port.
Simply select a program, plug in, wait a few seconds, remove the SPS device and start the car. It's simple and there's no fixed switch to install in the vehicle.
Exhast flaps have been optimised to open more in Dynamic mode and open earlier when the revs rise in non dynamic drive modes, coupled with an enhanced overrun burbles option on Revo Stage 1 sofware, making this epic V8 sing.
