Sorry about the rising temps and possible leaks in the blower. I hate this happened to you, but your willingness to do all of this and go through the trials and tribulations is such an incredible help to the rest of us. Thank you for all you do! Your work does make an impact for the community.
Didn't read other comments but I am willing to bet money that the intercooler cores on the supercharger have blown. That's a $700 repair bill but can be done DIY. Just remember all new gaskets for everything. There is speculation that the failures could be caused sooner by folks who have upgraded coolant pumps - but, more than likely, the supercharger itself cannot handle the increased boost from dual pulley setups and this will keep happening. Still, it sucks and we don't want to see this happening to any fellow enthusiast. But hey, maybe make a video on the repair process please? I have a feeling a lot of us will need to go through this at some point.
@@VancityAudi What do you mean sucks to be wrong?? I LOVE BEING WRONG when it comes to crap like this! woooot! so happy that it wasn't the stupid cores dude! but damn! you blew the PCV in such a way that it looked just like a core failure lol. Talk about going all out! :D
Sorry about the coolers bud. Perfect time to pull the blower get it cnc ported and do some Decarbon work on the valves and maybe the pcv valve whiles it's all apart then reinstall and let it eat. Always enjoy your videos
Sorry to hear about the coolant leak. I think I’m facing the same thing with mine :/ Can’t wait to see the video of the SC pull to see what’s going on.
With our MercRacing Heat Exchanger, MercRacing coolant pump, upgraded coolant lines and the removal of the secondary heat exchanger I never see higher than 66 degrees after a 1/4 mile run.
I had the same problem in my B8.5 yours must be just starting to leak my car was misfiring like crazy. Definitely excited to see what you can get done in the B8 once you get the intercoolers fixed!
Mine also was use a lot of coolant...so i had to replace my waterpump , pcv valve , and all hoses. I am fearing the day that i have to take out my charger cores.
Sorry to hear about the coolant leak issue. I have no doubt you'll be back stronger than ever! Almost 122mph trap on a hot day with sc cores on their way out is pretty damn strong!
No worries, man. This maybe good news after all :-) If you are trapping 121.5 mph with leaking cores, you will be flying after you replace them. As others have pointed out, it is a good time to replace the water pump and the PCV valve.
C to F conversion with quick mental math... (It's not accurate, but it'll get you close enough) Take the Celsius, double it, add 25. Example : 20C x 2 = 40 + 25 = 65F (+ or - 5. Actually comes out to be 68, but it's close) Been using this for a few years, as most of the RUclipsrs I watch are out of America.
Please make sure to document it all Adam! Also like State by the american boi, make sure to port it! But divorcing the coolant loop isn't bringing any benefits besides a stupid job to do so. Curious to see Water meth aswell
Hopefully not but i wonder if the new coolant pump has failed? Could be drawing to much current though the stock wiring and did a fuse? Sucks tho always rough to have a day at the track cut short
Try getting the upgrade bricks and probably your pcv is the one that’s leaking happen to me and I got new bricks Thermostat and front coolant pipe . Thank you so much for sharing awesome videos with us . 🔥💪🏼
Vancity Audi.. "this is my new daily driver".... Also Vancity Audi " wellp.... we broke the daily at the track...." so hard to not tune and mod your cars! LOL fun times man!
See if you can buy a used ported blower instead of fixing the current one, also check the water pump pcv and thermostat of course since they tend to fail
You happen to know how many miles were on those bricks? I've already blown mine but they had 150k miles on them with pullies and a tune since the previous owner.
That's good to know. How was everything else at 150k? I've got 112k miles on the clock, stage 2 SP with upgraded heat exchanger, but did a ton of preventative maintenance within the past year. Thermostat, water pump, valve cover gasket, plugs, coils,...dsg service, control arms...if i decide to keep this for the long haul, it's always reassuring seeing other high mileage examples out in the wild.
@@ryuradeon yeah mine has been great. I took it on a roadtrip from Houston down to the Mexican border and back plus some driving around town (in all about 900 miles) and it did great. Not the first road trip either this is my daily and occasional road trip car. Anyway so far the biggest issue has been the SC intercoolers. Also I've replaced upper control arms in the front. Just had the alternator go bad on me which was an easy repair. And I have a wheel bearing I need to replace. I guess it sounds like a lot but I've had cars with a lot less miles need just as much work but be half as fun at best as this car. Mine is 6mt on a 3.1 PR been tuned on Chipwerke then IE under my ownership. I think PO had it tuned on Revo or one of those companies.
Damn man!! Hope that its only the charger cooler that are leaking 😳. When you are making that check, isolate the charger cooling from motor cooling!!! Its easy to do.
My launch is and always has been set for 3400rpm. My launch control has also never worked properly, lol. I'll go into in in greater detail in an upcoming video.

Good luck with the rig mate..
Thank you
Perfect time to port the blower
I think I’m going through the same exact thing right now with my b8
Check out the videos that follow this one. We eventually diagnosed and fixed 2 issues.
Sorry about the coolers bud. Perfect time to pull the blower get it cnc ported and do some Decarbon work on the valves and maybe the pcv valve whiles it's all apart then reinstall and let it eat.

We did a carbon clean some time ago. Valves are looking sexy.
@@VancityAudi nice you just inspired me to do mine now
Took the Supra to gapplebees! Nice runs dude.
Haha, thanks. Sadly that Supra wasn't running right at all though.
Your data logs, track runs and knowledge is extremely appreciated!! Time to do ported blower and show as more data 😜
Sorry to hear about the coolant leak. I think I’m facing the same thing with mine :/ Can’t wait to see the video of the SC pull to see what’s going on.
It's coming up next!
@@VancityAudi nice can’t wait to see. Found out my coolant leak was the water pump.
Im currently doing an IE bolt-on on my daily Audi tt mk2, there's not many videos about it but I'm working on it little by little.
Same situation with my B8 S4. IATs reaching above 80* Celsius. These cars make me never want an Audi again
With our MercRacing Heat Exchanger, MercRacing coolant pump, upgraded coolant lines and the removal of the secondary heat exchanger I never see higher than 66 degrees after a 1/4 mile run.
Daily car problems! Hope you get it fixed soon
It's already fixed and all good
I had the same problem in my B8.5 yours must be just starting to leak my car was misfiring like crazy. Definitely excited to see what you can get done in the B8 once you get the intercoolers fixed!
No misfires for me. Just crazy high IAT's

Had this happen to me in mine. If your situation is anything like mine, you’ll have cylinder misfires under load. That’s what happened to me.

That takes way more intelligence than I have to do on the fly. I'll just look it up on Google before I film next time.
The Celsius temp multiplied by 1.8 then add 32.... ([degrees C] x [1.8]) + 32 = degrees F
@@pearl04tl ya, like I said. Too much intelligence needed for that
@@VancityAudi Just give him the answer already! Adam it was 86 degrees Fahrenheit lol. Google told me --> T(ºF) = 30ºC × 9/5 + 32 = 86ºF.
@@WeI3I3y LOL. I already looked after I made the video. I was right. It was in between 85 and 90 degrees haha.

Everything that happens next I'll be sharing with you all, don't you worry.
@@VancityAudi hope it won't financial ruiin you btw!
@@big103D if that ever happens it will be the RS3's fault. Not the S4.
what where those tires and rpf1 size exactly
vancityaudi.com/faqs-2012-audi-s4
Check your oil! I had the same thing happen and it was my head gasket!
Hopefully not but i wonder if the new coolant pump has failed? Could be drawing to much current though the stock wiring and did a fuse? Sucks tho always rough to have a day at the track cut short
Stay tuned and I'll show you all what happened and how we diagnosed & fixed it
I'm running a mpi set up from precision raceworks on an IE beta for e85 . Maybe if you get it they will work on it faster.lol
How’s it feeling with full E?
As of right now I'm not really interested in pushing it that far on a daily.
@@ashtonelwin3801 feels good it's still a tad lean though
Same thing happened to my S4 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Sorry to hear about the coolant, looking forward to seeing what’s next!
Try getting the upgrade bricks and probably your pcv is the one that’s leaking happen to me and I got new bricks Thermostat and front coolant pipe . Thank you so much for sharing awesome videos with us . 🔥💪🏼

Sh$t happens, you fix it and move on.

Have you thought of ever doing meth?? 👀 water-methanol of course haha. I’d be curious to see what the gains would be like, it should also lower IATs
sorry man... that sucks
You happen to know how many miles were on those bricks? I've already blown mine but they had 150k miles on them with pullies and a tune since the previous owner.
The car had 134,000km at the time this video was shot.

Hey there Adam, sorry to see this happen🙁. Curious to know if it was leaky cores in the S/C or leaking PCV?
The diagnosis and fix will be the next video
PCV Valve.....
Which iat did you have?
86 degrees
I'm sorry to see the bad streak of luck recently, but great content nonetheless. I can't wait for both cars to be healthy and setting PBs again!
You and I both!
Why don't you lower your launch? You short shift the 1st gear every runs lol
My launch is and always has been set for 3400rpm. My launch control has also never worked properly, lol. I'll go into in in greater detail in an upcoming video.
