JHM Tune

[Jake@JHM]

2 Question

1) In Manual Mode Kickdown And Auto-Upshift Is Disabled?
2) Launch Control On This Tune Is Adjustable?

1) Let me verify if its currently available for the S6-S7, We have that option for our B8 RS5 DSG
2) When engaging launch assist, the RPM will start at 2500 and then drop to 2000 so can choose when you want to launch. This allows for on the fly adjustments to dial in your traction for the given scenario.

our TMM or "true manual mode" isn't available for the S6-S7 but if you wanted it we would happily add it for you.

Can you run stage 2 on a 2016 S6 with an upgraded RS7 intake and turbo inlets or must it be downpipes?

Without downpipes its still a stage 1 car. It would not be recommended to run the stage 2 file.

Try not to pay too much attention to the stage numbers

[rant] A certain company recently joined the Audi mix and really broke our standardized stage 1/2/3 terminology that has been developed over decades. Now our tuning options are starting to look like BMW's and there's no longer a universal understanding of what stage is what anymore. [/rant]

Yea I have seen that a lot lately

Yea, what JHM said. A hot or rich fueled tune meant for downpipes can ruin OEM cats pretty quicly. Seems like 15 yrs ago Audi started using a lower quality Catalytic converter. Sometimes they burn out and come out in chunks, sometimes the chunks can fuse and cause a big restriction that can give you other serious issues upstream.

[Barong02]

I'd HIGHLY recommend getting the downpipe. I put JHMs in after just running new RS7R turbos and a heat exchanger for a couple weeks. It's a noticeable improvement and it's obvious how much stock was constricting things. The sound improvement is a nice plus.

He who hesitates is lost ... had to wait for a cheque to come in to have money to spend and sometime late this week they took down the sale

till this day we have yet to receive an RS5 header core that hasn't begun failing

Ooof, bluff called ! :-)

Jake, do you think this would be a big risk on a high mile car? My 2013 S7 is just under 140000 miles.

We retain all OEM safety parameters as well as implement our own, so no, I don't think it would be of any more risk than on a low mileage car. As long as the car is properly maintained you shouldn't have any issues.

Is the tune lock to the car VIN ?

[phats7]

If I want the 93 octane tune but have 91 in the tank, whats the process of preparing the car to be ready for 93 octane tune?.

Drive the car until empty and fill up with 93 and then flash the 93 file

Jake... so the upgraded stage3 RS7 ecu and tcu tune can just be purchased and used on a regular stock RS7 too ( all stock and no down pipes ) ?

The Stage 3 RS software is for an S6/S7/A8 equipped with RS7 style turbos. It is tailored to our RS7-Rs but will work with stock RS7 turbos or other brand. At minimum for that tune we require downpipes. (https://jhmotorsports.com/jhm-ecu-an...7-r-turbo.html)

For an RS7 vehicle, we have Stage 1 and Stage 2 software available and the Stage 1 can be used with a completely stock car (https://jhmotorsports.com/jhm-ecu-an...7-r-turbo.html)

Bumping this thread since I’m in the market for an OTS stage 1 tune

Sold our a7 but retained some of the parts over to the s7, especially the JHM heat exchanger.

After 3 months since the last post, wanted to see if there’s any else that had hop onto the JHM tune and can share their experience. Thanks

here is a recent review, but he went with our turbos at the same time: https://www.audizine.com/forum/showt...d-RS7-R-Turbos


We also have our 30-day money back guarantee so you are able to try it guilt free

[joejoe3]

Thanks Jake!

Quick questions:
1) does the tune rid the 4 cylinder eco mode?
2) if it has crackle, option to not have that?
3) in the videos, tcu shift point at 7200 but the clip show it shifting much earlier?
4) does the tune require adaptation?
5) does D mode still behave like stock, while all the fun resides in Sport?

Thanks!

No problem!

1) It does not, but if you want it removed, we can likely do that for you.
2) There isn't a crackle option yet. When there is, it will be optional.
3) The TCU is deciding optimal shift points. In manual mode you can rev it out.
4) You should have to do any manual adaptations, but after flashing it will start adapting right away.
5) While still enhanced, D mode is tamer than S.

Jason was able to disable CoD in my car when you guys tuned it. Definitely an option.

Jake

So in manual mode, when it hits the rev limit does it upshift automatically or does it stay in gear but go fuel cut off?

[BuyTheWarranty]

99% positive it will bounce off rev-limiter and hit fuel cut until you shift in manual mode. It does this on OEM software on my RS7, and my RS5, and it still did it with the JHM tune on the RS5.

[Daytonview]

Jake... what happened to the performance pictures in the rs7 and S8 ecu and tcu page?... the images of the Dragy quartermiles images are gone or missing on the 91 and 93 fuel slip times.

[poloshirt]

Does anyone other than JHM have stage 1 data for S6/S7 (dragy, dyno, etc.) they can share? The price point of this tune is alluring, but it makes me wonder why its priced the way it is.

What that says to me is that JHM needs to increase their price. lol

I'm sure someone could chime in. Lots of customers have our software. It used to be more expensive, but we significantly reduced the operating cost of our flashing server and passed those savings to the customer. We have been tuning Audis for over 15 years

We have a 30 day money back guarantee. Give it a try worry free.

I've been running their stage 3 RS+ setup on my S6 for nearly a year. Truly a great kit for the price. Power was a huge step up for stage 3 and the tunes are well dialed in. I wouldn't hesitate to grab it again over the others that are often advertised here.

Glad you love it! We appreciate the kind words

DM’d you about #1, hard to pass up a great sale just need more info!

Thanks

[quattroism25]

Anytime man! I remember you from back in the day in the B6-B7 section. Give me a shout when you are ready

What's your email? Just ordered some parts but I have a question.

Jake.. getting ready to purchase a newer car.. debating between the D4 S8 and 2018+ S4.

The S8 are really affordable now.. and would like to get in one.. i dont mind the upkeep maintenance but does the rs7/s8 engine tranny has the same issues like the S6/7?... oil strainer/turbo and DSG?

The S8 and RS7 have the ZF8 transmission. The S6/7 have the DL501....two different setups.

same thing with the high compression and low compression engines between the two

The RS7P and the S8+ are different breeds than the S6/7

you will still need to follow the recommended basic maintenance intervals for the engine/trans based on the setup.

In addition to what Carpenter said, the RS7/S8 I haven't seen have the same turbo failure as the S6/S7 outside of oil starvation from a clogged screen. Our Oil screen relocation kit works on the S8 as well.

ZF8 is a lot more reliable than the DL501 though

[poloshirt]

Thinking about going Stage 2 with HFC downpipes. Do I need to run O2 spacers to avoid a CEL?
