B9 Audi RS5 First to 9 Second ¼ Mile | World's Fastest RS5 Powered by 034Motorsport!

034Motorsport Dynamic+ Tuning for the EA839 2.9TT Engine in the RS5 delivers the best experience of smooth drivability, perfect function, reliability, and added functionality and features beyond what the factory programming can provide. 034Motorsport’s Hardware and Software engineers are dedicated to pushing the envelope of what’s possible on the B9 RS5 Twin Turbo platform and have done just that with every Hardware and Software product we sell.

In an effort to show that 034Motorsport Dynamic+ Tuning is capable of immense performance and reliability, we put rubber to the road (and track) to show what our tuning can do with the help of upgraded The Turbo Engineers TTE720 Hybrid Twin Turbos in a street trim setup.




TIME: 9.946 @ 139.21MPH
DENSITY ALTITUDE: ~+200FT
AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE: 63*F

In a street setup, the 034Motorsport Development B9 Audi RS5 was able to set a new 9-Second World Record powered by Dynamic+ Stage 3 Tuning Software.

This incredible achievement shows the continued devotion and development 034Motorsport has for the B9 2.9TT platform. While the 3.0T S4 platform has continued to rise to new heights utilizing our Stage 3 Tuning, our results here show that the RS5 is capable of equally astounding performance. 034Motorsport is no stranger to developing world-class products and tuning for various Volkswagen and Audi vehicles. Our journey into the B9 platform started with our B9 Audi A4, and then B9 Audi S4 when it was released, and now the B9 Audi RS5. These vehicles led us to develop our holistic product line on the B9 platform that substantively transforms the performance of your Audi with OEM+ refinement.

The 034Motorsport Dynamic+ Tuning Suite for the B9 Audi RS5 2.9TT Engine was developed entirely in-house at 034Motorsport by our world-class calibrators with a combined 100+ years of experience. When developing our tuning for the EA839, we implemented key safety features to keep your engine running optimally and safely in virtually any condition - just like the OEM calibration. These were then verified by us on track through multiple high-temperature track events with our vehicles. This keeps the engine in your car happy and safe, providing consistent and repeatable power. Our Dynamic+ Tuning safely supports Stage 1 (Stock Hardware), Stage 1+ (Upgraded HPFP), and Stage 3 (Upgraded Turbos) which is in active development and testing.

Consistency:


With Dynamic+ software, we aim to provide consistent and repeatable performance for your B9 2.9TT equipped car. With 6 consecutive bottom 10.0 and 9.9 second ¼ mile passes, all above 138mph and within .14 seconds of each other, our B9 RS5 demonstrates exactly that. All 034Motorsport ECU and TCU software are designed to perform consistently and safely in all uses. Whether you're on a road course, drag strip, road trip, or are simply commuting day to day in hot and cold weather, Dynamic+ tuning maximizes all available safety features found in the MG1 ECU to ensure that your car is running at its best, every time.

What About With Stock Turbos?


In May 2021, 034Motorsport set out to prove that Dynamic+ Tuning Software for the B9 RS4 & RS5 offers the best experience in terms of drivability and refinement, power delivery, and features. In this, we set our car up to take the 1/4 stock turbo record using our B9 RS5 Coupe.It is continually astounding to see how high-performing these stock turbos are with simple fueling and intake/cooling modifications and high quality software, all while on completely stock catalysts/exhaust systems.

Wow. That's FAST. Super excited to step into Stage 3 and will be an early adopter. How is the lag compared to the stock turbos?

[c99]

What about front differential?

There will typically always be a compromise in responsiveness as you increase the size of the turbochargers. We will employe specific tuning strategies to reduce transient response times and keep the car very drivable.

What about front differential?

The front and rear differentials are stock. The exception is our rear diff carrier billet mount inserts.

I don't think that's what c99 is talking about here....

Seems on point to me. It's able to run in the 9's with the stock drive train. What do you think c99 is talking about?

A good chunk of high torque B9s (specifically RS models) suffer blown front differentials.

Not uncommon even on chipped RS4/5 cars as they make boat loads more torque at lower (launching) RPMs.

Reason you don’t hear about it much over here is because the RS5 market in North America is a fraction of the RS4/RS5 market in Europe - Also far less tuned B9 RS cars over here…

I've seen only one report of a blown differential here and/or at audiworld. Not sure that applies to every RS5. Some tuners, like APR, load up low end torgue and they don't tune the TCU so they can't take full advantage of the related safety protocols. 034 tunes take a different approach with their launch control and don't load up torque in the same way coming off the line. Apparently, the stock differential held up to multiple 9 and 10 second runs.

There’s been dozens of front blown diffs on other forums and on YouTube. AZ doesn’t really have much of an international breadth, if you didn’t know. AW is a bit better internationally but still not great…

Low end torque is what pops the diffs under load up during the launch process.

It’s also why it happens more frequently with the 2.9tt (significantly more torque while launch control is loading up and the driver is “holding everything back” with the brakes). The 3.0T cars don’t make as much torque under launch. Even less with a “large” single turbo.

Haven’t seen the torque curve of the TTE720s. But, they may actually be easier on the front diff than chipped standard twins (TTEs likely create less torque at launch).

Do some searching. What I’m bringing to light is a very real concern that no one in the US seems to want to address.

I've seen the GassedUp video from the UK where he broke his RS5 front driveshaft and I saw a post on IG where someone in a RS6 did the same but I haven't seen any other YT videos about B9 RS blown front diffs.

The only international forum I know of is Audi-Sport.net (UK based) and they don't seem to have much there either.

Please share any links you have, I think we'd all benefit from having more knowledge around this issue.

There is much more to protecting the driveline than just what kind of torque the engine can make at a certain RPM. With our calibrations, we are able to specifically target a torque value on launch control, and the ramp rate for torque to then increase after the brake pedal is released. It's this finite control over the ECU and TCU that our tuning offers that protects driveline components like axles and differentials.

I can't go into much more details on how all of this works, but these tuning strategies are often not employed by the other tuners currently available, which is why you might see more driveline failures.

Perfect. That’s what the people want to hear!

If you can limit the torque under “load up” then theoretically you wouldn’t need to upgrade the mechanicals.

Thank you for clarifying.
