2015 Q7 Sline - tuning question

[dapeople]

has anyone done an air intake and dual pullet on the 2012-2015 models?
I feel like I can't find anything online.

any helps is much appreciated.

A few folks have. See this thread.

Custom intake I will be adding the JHM inlet hose too! Hoping to get it closer to the cooler fresh air

This is a 4M Q7 he's asking about a 4L Q7.

I am Stage II dual pulley. No intake, nothing out there unless you go custom. BTW, there is no tune for a dual pulley setup. It'll make more boost but the bypass valve will bleed it off.

I did the Fluidamper because of the inherent issues with the stock Crank Pully. And If someone develops a tune for Stage II DP, I'll be ready to go.
I must say, it sure is quick for such a big car. It will destroy a 3.6 & 4.2, and smoke a stock TDI & 3.0T!

JHMOTORSPORTS has a dual pulley tune for the Q7

And a TCU tune. To my knowledge they're the only ones to offer a TCU tune.

I beg to differ, JHM's tunes are APR. There is no DP ECU tune for the 4L Q7 3.0t.

As I mentioned in a previous post, there is a stage II, but it's single pulley.

Sorry. I linked the wrong thread. I can’t find the one I had pulled up.

On a personal note, I’d be leary of JHM’s TCU tune. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t had some kind of issue with it. While my 4L is a TDI, I do have a C6.5 Avant that folks are running JHM tuning for. So have seen the results for that platform. I know they are different but it’s the same idea. Just my 2 cents.

I don't know who makes the tune for JHM but I can indeed assure you that they have a DP and a TCU tune. For one hell of a price bargain too.

There's also a intake available from RocEuro

I stand corrected... this is good to know. (I could have sworn I did my homework) But that's why we have this forum.

[blackfunk]

NP, I only found it because I was looking for a TCU and didn't think that any one offered one then someone linked me to JHM. The more people who know the more likely they'll continue to work on products for the platform. Spread the word.

This is true I will be working with JHM on a setup very soon
Brakes need to be addressed first.
Race Pipes to their down pipes, heat exchanger and the DP tuning etup
ECU/TCU tune only way you can purchase it.

As for the intake… 350 for that….




$125 in parts. And planning to ad the JHM inlet pipe to get it even closer to the cooler air coming in

And that is, assuming you even actually get it - Exhibit A - https://www.audizine.com/forum/showt...about-Roc-Euro

Just know this isn't the only thread like this LOL

can you guide us to what you are using for this custom kit?

I need to find the parts list. But basically I measured the length from intake manifold to coolant res. Then measured from there to the back of headlight. Took those two numbers and went to auto parts store and played around with couplers and piping till I got close to those numbers. Bought all different couplers and angles because once mounted it would obviously fit different.
After I was happy with the lengths and the fitment I pieced together.

Returned what I didn’t use in or work.

3”pipes and couplers.

I like the DIY intake.

As for ECU/TCU on a 4L, I placed an order for JHM stg2+, 207 pulley, and downpipes (catted, baffled).. Awaiting the goods now..

Interested in you thought after install. I just pulled trigger on same but tune is being shipped to Fla where I am at now and the rest is headed to NY for when I get back up there. No one In Miami works on cars that I can find.
Are you doing exhaust with the DP’s?

any chance you can share an install video, also before install and after install?
thanks

[kneel]

Got my JHM tune and installed.
All I have to say is wow! This is a fun car/suv to drive now.
Pulls hard and the shifts seem smooth. Still getting used to the quicker shifts as I like to use the paddles when I drive.

I went ahead and purchased a use ecs carbon fiber inlet from and s4 and was able to install with few mods but it works and no check engine lights IMG_3597.jpg

Anyone know if the Eurodyne tune for the 3.0T S4/S5 can be flashed onto the Q7 S-Line? The Q7 S-Line should have the 333hp 3.0T same as the S4, right? I ask because I already have the Eurodyne cable and software. I have emailed Eurodyne, but their customer support sucks. It may be a month before I get a response, or I may never get one.

That looks good! But sits right on top of the exhaust manifold. Maybe look into another coupler and extending the pipe towards the head light so filter is sucking in cooler air?

I will look into that
Anyone using a specific breather for this application?

2013 4L Q7 S-Line Prestige
3.0T, Aisin 8spd transmission

So, having been on the JHM Stg 2+ DP ECU tune, as well as the TCU tune for over a year, here's what I have to say, thusfar:
JHM ECU Stg2+DP tune, JHM 207mm crank pulley, JHMbaffled downpipes, JHM cats, Magnaflow cat-back exhaust, 540 Autosport intake:
Absolutely love the power on tap when I need it. It pulls and launches hard AF all the way to redline. I love how it acts as if nothing has been done on normal driving, but wakes up and comes alive around 3200rpm if you hold a gear..
The TCU tune shift really well, but (to me) seems to get a little slow to shift (soft-shifts) in higher RPMs. Manual mode is manual, which I like. I mean, it will not upshift for you if you hold it too long; it will bounce off the limiter..
The downsides, or not-so-fond-of, is the fuel economy dropped a few mpg at highway cruise. Before the tune, I would get pretty consistent 25-26mpg @ 70mph on long road trips. Now, I struggle to get 21.
As previously mentioned, the soft/slow shifts at high RPM; it should be more crisp, IMHO.

great to hear.

let me ask you, as I have same transmission in my vw atlas, how are the downshifts at regular driving in full auto, when you roll to a stop, but dont actually stop and then go to accelerate. Does it hang in third gear and sturggles to accelerate, or does it downshift into secon?
Thats one thing I hate on the atlas and that tranny.

Do you have any compariosn numbers od acceleration

I got a 2013 premium plus with the JHM 207mm crank pulley, which is a dual pulley ratio and their stage 2 ecu/tcu tune. I did some dragy tests before and after and in similar weather/da.

-Stock 0-60 in 8.4 and 1/4 mile 16.4@87
-Stage 1 ECU/TCU tune 0-60 in 5.5 and 1/4 mile 13.7@100
Stage 2 0-60 in 5.1 and 1/4 mile in 13.4@102

that's a huge transformation!
