How do we build our V10 Lamborghini and Audi R8 engines?

- We're often asked about the rods and pistons we use in our V10 engine builds, so we thought we'd explain it all in a video. From a stock rebuild, to a fully built twin-turbo set up, we show you the components we use and the science behind the way we do it.

I have never ever seen an engine video with so much detail.
Didn't know I could learn so much in such a short time lol. Great work guys
Thank you!!
This is what our engineering heritage is all about.
Can you see the same enthusiasm with an electric motor ?
This is an amazing video, I love this geeky stuff... I'm never going to be in a position where I'll need to build an engine but can still appreciate this sort of content. Good job 👍🏻
Such a humble man
Thank you!
I love the fact that you share the details of the build like Rimac factory does during tours. "Come and see what we do - if you can do it or even do it better, you are very welcome, you simply deserve this".
Very informative and as I’m about to rebuild a V10 it has been a well of knowledge. Understanding blue printing components. Thank you. Rich
Great knowledge, great for you to share things that could matter to any engine build
Brilliant explanation thanks
This is fascinating, so many fine details you wouldn’t think of, great videos 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Fascinating stuff. I watched the Guy Martin videos as I'm a big fan of his, but I've stuck around for Ricky's insights.. Awesome stuff
You really got me wanting to build a perfect engine for my clio 197...using the knowledge I have learnt from your experience
The detail is crazy
Absolutely brilliant video 👏👏👏
Thank you!
I luv the banter but I luv these videos even more….❤😊 I would enjoy learning this stuff, it just shows how ham fisted your average dealership is.
Thank you for watching.
Beautiful engines!
A blueprint is a drawing, the original design. So typically "blueprinting" is getting tolerances, etc very precise, to design spec. "Balancing" is getting all the weights close to reduce vibration & unequal stress.
Brill video Ricky you are a fount of knowledge sir for such a young man, even an old man lol Watching that was absolutely fascinating, the science behind things, the way you do things and your explanation of WHY you do it that way was second to none. Ricky, If I had a supercar and it needed an engine build even if only stock you would be the man to do it for me.
Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Great video! Really loved the advice at the end. Thanks, RE Performance!
My pleasure!
I'm in the process of fitting an Audi S8 V10 to a VW T3 (Porsche gearbox) and that gives me more room for tuning which isn't normally possible. 1) I'm using R8 V10 headers (no cats) but keeping the S8 inlet manifold with flaps. I've seen many people suggest that they should be removed due to failure but mine work. If they work, surely the loss in torque at lower rpm (without them) makes it worth keeping them? 2) Inlet manifold spacers? Worth it for heat dissipation? It will lengthen the intake tract and change the flow. 3) Crank pulley (lightweight). Good or bad? Quicker spin up but less harmonic support /mass for the crank? Excellent channel as always. Michael.
Brilliant video. Too bad nobody has done anything even close to this quality on 4.6 Rover v8's. Respect for choosing UK suppliers too!
Thank you!
This is fantastic, keep it up y'all should be getting way more views imma share as much as I can
Question, you use a coated piston on a standard block but an uncoated piston on a linered block. Why not use a coated piston in a linered block? Would there be any negative effects?
Thank you! The coating is to stop the galling that occurs when the piston and block are made of aluminium. On a kindred block it is nickel ceramic coated steel liner so no need to protect the piston with a coating. You can run a coating, it’s just not mandatory like on a stock block.
HPAcademy show that they balance rods by equalising the big ends on the jig and then shave the small ends to equalise total rod weights. Would balancing small ends add something important to the overall engine balance? My understanding is that when hanging the small end over the scales, the big end bottom half will act as a "ballast" and throw the measurement off a tad.
Great informative video. Looking forward to the next instalment!
Thanks for watching!
Cool process and great attention to detail
Thanks!
@@REPerformanceUK I’m assuming you’re Ricky from the R8 talk forum?
@@Daytonaman675 I am sir!!
Gotcha!
Can the S6 & S8 V10 be built with the Carillo or Arrow rods and pistons also?
Hi guys love the in depth vids you do, also im only new to the audi v10 stuff, now is the lambo v10 5.0 the same bore spacing as a rs6 5.0 v10 and doe's have a split crank pin crank or are they just de stroked 5.2 also the rs6 v10 5.0 have you seen any one convert to port injection. cheers
No they are all different engines either in cc, bore/stroke, bore spacing or crank.
Awesome video! One thing I wanted to ask, Audi suspension (and many others) are torque to yield. Now, I am not going to replace every bolt everytime I need to replace a component on my suspension (thinking upper arm bolts (not pinch bolt)) when doing a wheel bearing for instance.
Is there a way of determining the torque required for a stretch bolt once deformed that will give a clamping force that is reasonable enough for it to be safe / effective.
There’s a right way and a wrong way. Right way is to replace. There isn’t a way to determine the torque after the bolt has been stretched, otherwise the manufacture would list it. You’ll get by with it done the wrong way but it’s still wrong. What you’ve done is increased your risk of something breaking.
@@chillznax Understood, I opted for new bolts. Thanks for jumping in and explaining for any others that may ask a similar question.
Have you tried an ultrasonic bolt checker?
No, I’ll take a look at that! Any suggestions?
There’s a few good instruments out there, but take a look at NordLock’s Echometer.
Those Arrow rods are a work of art, but 1.4k a piece seems extremely boutique. Then again they are way way up there in technical superiority.
They aren’t 1.4K each.
@@REPerformanceUK sorry I read their website wrong, it is for a set. Embarrassing.
@@casparharte when you see those sort of figures you know you've got to read the website again! Mucho embarrasmente lol
Guys, what's different with the Audi S8 V10 5.2 to these engines?
The S8 V10 is more like the early 5.0 Gallardo in geometry!
Hello, I imagine you are a specialist in the Lamborghini V10 engine,
I have a really big problem, she uses a lot of oil, I think you have heard of this problem before.
From what it could came ?
New machined steel cylinder, new segment, new valve stem seals, new reinforced connecting rod. I still have the same consumption of oil with blue smoke. oil on the pistons when removing the spark plugs. is it possible there is a problem in the cylinder head?
Is it possible that this is due to an oil vapor return? I take the liberty of sending you this message because no one can find the solution.
Sounds like piston ring problem if using oil that heavy but would need to see it to carry out some tests.
@@REPerformanceUK
There are new steel cylinders and pistons, and still blue smoke from the driver's side exhaust
Drop us an email!!
Brand of pins and rings used?
CP on our uprated builds!
@@REPerformanceUK
Surprised. Expected it to be Trend and Total Seal…
High Strempth! 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
