difference between a3 2.0t Q and s3

[gussyldr]

as the title says wat are they how does the s3 have 65hp more then the a3 2.0t Q is it just a better map?

 

[FranA3]

its got a S on the boot it makes it faster lol , prob different exhaust , bettter map dont know exactly

 

[jungleman]

the differences are throughout the entire car, from springs & dampers, lightened wishbones etc. when it comes to the engine, the S3 is running a K04 turbo where the 2.0T is running a K03. the S3 also has uprated engine internals so can take much more power. over all its much more then just a different map

what engine internals are uprated?

 

[FranA3]

my guess would be pistons , rods , crankshaft , camshaft

yep, think thats the ones, on the S3 they are good for reliability as a daily drive up to about 450 bhp & lbft

[jungleman]

Better uprate your internals as well. Could tip you over the edge and bend a rod...

I have been woundering about this my self.

I have a 2,0TFSI Q DSG, what is the max safe tuning for this engine and drivetarain?
Are there any differents on the DSG box too (read S-tronic)
Super happy at the moment but are plning to oppgrade soon. See on tuner site that the 260Bhp i a common result.

The wishbones are the same, only the bushes are different-solid stiffer ones on the S3.
S3 has K04 turbo vs K03, bigger injectors, better FMIC, remotely located DV, lower compression pistons ( rods are the same I think), different cams, shorter throw gears shift, and stiffer spring/ damper rates also and of course bigger brakes.

S3 has a bigger nob......
