Performance - Audi S6/S7 4.0 TFSI 2012>

The Audi S6 and S7 are impressive cars straight out of the box, yet when combined with Revo’s market leading software they come into a world of their own. In our search to extract more power from the mighty 4.0 TFSI engine, we quickly found that the stock air-box and filter became a major limitation for the car. During research and development, our in-house engineers worked with both the S7 and RS7 to analyse and compare the differences in each intake system, and how efficiently they performed. The direct replacement kit, which includes an RS7 air-box, Revo ProPanel filter and stepped silicone hoses was installed and tested on our in-house S7 development vehicle; the results were staggering. On our Dynopak hub dyno we saw dramatically improved power and torque throughout the rev-range, with consistent gains of +21WHP and +24NM with our Stage 2 software installed. BENEFITS Increases power and torque +21 WHP and + 24 NM gain OEM+ Look Custom designed Silicone hoses Revo ProPanel filter AIRBOX The S and RS air-box may look very similar at a glance, however after analysis and testing of both air-boxes, it was quite clear that the RS air-box had a tremendous amount of potential with a few essential improvements. The two inlet pipes have a larger 100mm diameter, allowing more air to flow with much less restriction compared to the 85mm stock air-box inlets. Revo software really allows the car to utilise this increase in airflow, all without compromising on the OEM look of the engine bay. SILICONE HOSES To compensate for the larger outlets on the RS7 air-box, we designed and developed two larger silicone hoses to join the air intake system to the engine. Revo’s flush fit designed silicone hoses connect to the air-box without any internal restriction, minimising turbulence and allowing a smoother flow of air to maximise performance. REVO PROPANEL FILTER The standard paper filter found in most vehicles performs well under normal conditions, however with increased power it becomes a major choking point in the system. Revo ProPanel filters work by trapping dirt particles within each of the oiled foam layers while allowing air to negotiate its way through, reducing restriction and offering much longer service intervals. We tested the filter at a leading motor testing centre ‘Mira’ on an industry recognised dust load test. On a full dust load test the foam filter was found to still be 99.3% efficient, filtering down to 5 micron while offering the least amount of restriction over similar products. FULL KIT The Revo 4.0 TFSi intake kit comes complete with RS7 air-box, Revo ProPanel filter, silicone hoses and fitting brackets. The kit offers an OEM+ look and fit, with no required modifications to the vehicle, finished off with an aluminium tag.   TESTING Revo 4.0 TFSI intake kit vs Stock     INTAKE PERFORMANCE FIGURES Engine Software Power Torque 4.0 TFSI Stage 2 + 21 BHP + 24 NM   *Maximum power and torque increases shown in testing when using Revo 4.0 TFSI intake system compared to stock intake on Audi S7   TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS The following documents are available to view: FITTING INSTRUCTIONS Download the  Revo 4.0 TFSI Air Intake System Fitting Instructions     FITTING      Manufacturer Model Engine Year Audi S6 4.0 TFSI 2012 > Audi S7 4.0 TFSI 2012 >

The Audi RS6 and RS7 are without doubt quick in their purest form, add Revo Stage 1 and 2 software however, they quickly become supercar killers. Giving the cars an even further boost in their already staggering power figures, we turned our attention to developing an upgrade for the air intake system. Testing found that the RS air-box had a tremendous amount of potential, with only a few key areas that caused restriction.The new direct replacement kit includes a Revo foam filter, stepped silicone hoses and an aluminium tag. We installed the kit on an RS7 development vehicle, on our Dynopak hub dyno we saw improved power and torque throughout the rev-range, with consistent gains of +4WHP and +4NM over the stock filter and hoses when used with Revo Stage 1 ECU performance software.  BENEFITS Increased airflow +4 WHP and + 4 NM gain Retains factory airbox Custom designed Silicone Hoses Revo ProPanel filter AIR FILTER The standard paper filter found in most vehicles performs well under normal conditions, however, with increased power it becomes a major choking point in the system.

SILICONE HOSES The plastic hoses on the stock system design with a corrugated style to flex with the engine movement, while this has its place it also causes a large amount of turbulence as the airflow doesn’t have a smooth direct path to the turbos. We designed the silicone hoses with stepped internals to ensure a flush fit and to minimise turbulence while still allowing for engine movement.     INTAKE PERFORMANCE FIGURES Engine Software Power Torque 4.0 TFSI Stage 1 + 4 BHP + 4 NM   *Maximum power and torque increases are shown in testing when using Revo 4.0 TFSI intake system compared to the stock intake on Audi RS7   TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS The following documents are available to view: FITTING INSTRUCTIONS Download the  RA731M200200 Revo 4.0 TFSI Air Intake System Fitting Instructions     FITTING      Manufacturer Model Engine Year Audi RS6 4.0 TFSI 2012 > Audi RS7 4.0 TFSI 2012 >
