I flew to Las Vegas with @EBCBrakesUK for the 2nd year in a row to help @Petrolheadonism unload @MatArmstrongbmx's broken Audi RS6. After offloading and looking around the Battle Of The Builders section, I quizzed Mat about exactly what happened.

I’m dieing at the aggression of the dog 😂😂😂
hii mat
I was no.1 threat in Las Vegas
Dying*
When your touring Northern Ireland?? Com on Mat
100% it lifted the head
I love the way Mat smiles and laughs even when things go wrong. So it's going to be an RS 6/7 now.
an RS6.5
I wish i could smile like him while my engine is still fucked after 2 rebuilds
That dog was also running 95 octane on a 99 tune 😂
You can tell Mat is not a long-term Jap car owner. My first thought would have been octane booster with this car at that tune. If I ever have to put some 95 Ron in one of my Subarus, I crawl til I can fill up with 99.
Great stuff. I love these show videos, especially places like SEMA where I'm unlikely to ever get. Your knowledge makes for really enlightening content and your enthusiasm is very evident. Looking forward to the rest of the SEMA videos.
Thank you Adam for bringing us the greatest car show and congratulations to Matt for getting his RSsex into battle of the build that is an amazing achievement but the highlight for me is the chameleon RX7 That is absolutely stunning😂😂
2:42 the famous Big Red Camaro. 30+ years of tuning history with that car
Was it Richard Rawlings driving it??
Loving the coverage from Sema this year - I’ve been able to follow 5 car builds this year !
His RS6 looks sick. Well done Adam.
You’ll be at 1 million subscribers soon
Thanks for content!
Can't wait to see more SEMA content!
It's on the other side of the country for me, but it would be cool to go some day.
I did not expect to see you at Sema so I was very happy to see you on Shmee's video. Love your stuff man!!
Good to see Adam has fans in the USA
I'm british...@@klcars2429
For a country that started wars just to steal their oil, you'd expect them to have good fuel. It's notoriously bad compared to what we have in Europe.
Cattle class, with Mr Armstrong traveling business class.. You're a man of the people.
The Stig casually admiring mat's RS6 in the background of the video. It would be great if Mat and Ben Collins could do some kind of colab build and race content.
I was fortunate enough to spend the week with Ben. I know he will be collaborating with Tavarish in the future, I'm sure something with Mat will be on the table too
Matt is such a legend ❤
The part at the start with the dog 😂
Awesome vid ad! Love sema was lucky to go in 2018!! Nice to see the car scene is still epic over there thanks for sharing!
Great vlog Adam and the r6 is insane 🔥. 👍🚘
Whenever I drive my tuned twin turbo Toyota Soarer here in Australia, it has a flex fuel sensor and a rotary switch to control the boost. Each point on the switch has a different map.
If I'm running 98 Octane, I dial the boost all the way down (400hp is the lowest setting), and if E85 is available, I can push the power up to 550hp.
In any case Mat probably should have brought a few bottles of octane booster with him, and given he needed the Audi for transport, I'd probably have not drag raced it.
Octane isn't boost limited unless it's 35psi/40psi+... It's Ignition Timing. You can run FAR more timing on E85, i run up to 17* at 35psi on E85 vs 35 psi and 4.5* 98 octane.
@@VuBeClan It’s all related… more boost means more heat and more pressure which affects timing. The RS6 has capacity to run lower powers for different octanes but the tuner obviously didn’t set them up…
This is a collab we need!
Always wanted to go this show, after seeing the video, I'm going next year!!
Very enjoyable as always 👍👍
Love the abroad content
This guy is a complete Rupert
Ok
Definitely doing SEMA next year now... 🥳
Love the RS6..cannot wait to c wat happen,n fixing it..and getting back to the U.K for rebuild..
Ah that dog made me laugh so much!! Haha..
My gut feeling was fuel, people spend forever talking about different Uk fuel suppliers and what’s better but compared to the US it’s pretty much all better
Oh look it’s meeeeee dutty p 😂
I'm gonna visit SEMA in the future for sure 🔥🔥
I'm confused. I've heard Matt say a few times that the RS6 isn't available in the US. But it is.....
Nice Video
8:25 wow that 240Z with blown V8 is Awsome mate ! Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
America we can go top speed and barely any traffic regulation = unreliable while Uk strict and less top speed = very reliable
Mat n father always so happy
Let Matt know we are going through withdrawals and he needs a full-time videographer to pump out more videos! Also please let Matt know he needs a dry ice cleaner to shine up his cars more! Thanks for your help, from a true Matt Armstrong Fan.
The LS400 at the beginning.liked the vid already
Sorry my Bru I've watched ur previous video when ur car blown. But 2 be honest with u that makes ur video enjoyable to watched.u very good at what's u do keep its up.Sandile from south Africa
Nothing beats dmo rs6
Ohh yeah, opening with a Datsun Z!
It was a nod to the 'Jon Olsson's RS6 DTM' which was last seen in the Netherlands on dealerplates :(
Dealerplates?
The car got stolen and burned down ages ago.
So we gonna Get cars leaving sema 😁
Im came from the phillipines i am here to youre yotube channel bcuz of mat..❤
THE DOG AHAHAHAHAAHAHA
02:31 😂😂😂
So interesting that everyone is so amazed by the canards on the doors.. But Mat actually is not the first with that Bodykit...
Thank you so much for the video and the explanation about MAT RS 6 . For European people the SEMA SHOW is so hudge . I am just a fan, i don't know all the rules of the SEMA battles.
The Fuel makes sense. The U.K. Honda FK8 produced 316bhp but the US Honda FK8 only had 306bhp. There was a video where Honda pro Jason asked a an engineer at the factory in Swindon why there was a difference. The answer was inferior US fuel.
You have to compare apples to apples octane rating. Regardless, 10 HP less for $5/Gal+ less, not a bad trade. We have 93 octane here in Maryland, USA, which is close to the 99 UK. Fuel octane and bio fuel mix varies here by state and gas supplier, to say inferior U.S. fuel is a lazy generalization.
As for the RS6 issue, if it is fuel related, then they should have been wise enough to adjust the tuning to octane before drag racing…stupid. Oh, and overtuned, highly stressed Audi engines do tend to blow up at drag strips. Sounds to me they finished off an engine that was already overstressed and overused, not so much fuel caused.
Not lazy. Just fact
@@petejr7583it's far from over tuned mate , stage 2 . I think you should save your comments till we all find out what really has happened because at the moment you are assuming and you know what that makes 👍.
@@petejr7583just keep coping mate
Yesss
matt just heard it might be something to do with thr fuel ...a guy in Ireland bought a Sierra cosworth it blew up sure it was a cossie adam Smith did some videos on it
damn adam what company you fly with that plane looks cool
This really looks like Jon Olsson's old RS6
wouldn't the ecu pull timing if knock/predet was detected?
the R34 at 1:04 is a GTT that's been K-swapped by Illuminate on YT
The guy at 13:13 🤣
Hi Matt what video editing software do you use for CZcams ?
I'm not Mat.
Next time you visit SEMA take dog biscuits, the woofer was about to take your arm off 🐶
Mat, Bro. We in America use 93 octane in our Audi's. It say's it on our gas door sticker
Surely they would have known the differences between UK/US RON before bringing it over ?
The hidden truth…. It broke down.
Nope, that's not it.
super thick RS6, good width, but that one is definitely good
id like to see the RS6 with smoke flow in a wind tunnel. How does the front scoop advantage the car?
It helps to pin the car to the road.
IT,S WILD
Done a chain if all plugs were bust maybe the fuel my money its done a chain or snapped a camshaft as well, when they are new you gotta run them in you cant get in it and give it the billy bigfoot
If it was fuel, it would be a clogged injector. I guess a clogged injector made the car go lean. I would do a flow test on the injectors to confirm if this is what caused it.
Wrong maps could make sense aswell since whe uk ans us have different altitudes rights, so different air density?(lmk if im wrong about that assumption)
That first r34 has a 4 cylinder typer r engine
I think Matt is right was first thing I thought when I watched his video tuned to the max for UK fuel 🙈😭😭😭😭
9:00 this S2000 is actually K Swapped lol
I did think it looked like a K-Series but was treading carefully.
@@AdamC3046 fair enough, good on you though! 👌🏼
Fuel? Its the mapping. A good map knows what to do when the engine is running on crap fuel. Love to see the engine swap (with bigger turbos) :P
nah. It's the ECU, and the MED17 ecu's don't have built in protections especially when tuners demic the knock sensors.
@@VuBeClan Why the hell would you blame an ECU for a garbage tuner that removes knock / ping derating. Running an engine with 0 protection is beyond idiotic as fuel quality will always vary.
@@electricsnut because the ECU has something called 'RON' detection and detects what type of fuel is in the car. Please educate your self more about the MED17 ecu
@@VuBeClan yes and the tune map defines what the ECU does in relation to different octanes…
@@electricsnut tune map? you're talking to a tuner. There is an 'adder', not a 'tune map'. It's an adder to the base timing map, based on octane differences you can add timing to selective areas in airmass.
For the sparkplug to be destroyed, I'm betting the motor jumped timing and or chain broke. Low grade fuel had little to do with it. Higher octane, maybe but lower grade shouldn't grenade a motor like that. I work in construction, I have no idea what I'm saying.
@matarmstrongbmw fuel issues makes sense now you mention it.. American fuel definitely made the car run lean if their super unleaded is only the equivalent of our normal unleaded
I feel bad for Mat. I love the content though. Trevor from Johannesburg, South Africa.
1:10 I think that is a hot wheels car 💀
That dog was about to have a piece of you Adam you were about a foot away from being mauled 🤣🤣 poor Matt what terrible bad luck but if anyone can fix it he’ll sort it out that’s for sure 👍
What an adventure. You might consider water injection?
A Buddie of mine also blown he's engine in a simular way, cylinder 5 left the chat, he drove it on pump feul 95 okt, tuned to about 730 bhp, top tuners here in sweden NEVER recommend the 95 okt, only 98 or higer when tuned, probably the same on yours Mat
If matt had of just drove the car instead of drag racing the dam thing, he would probably have been alright. His dad said as much!
But that would be dead content
@@AdamC3046 well it’s either dead content, or dead engine ☺️
@@MikkyTee everything is about the content
I think that a car should actually be in working condition if it is to be shown as a "Build"
The car didn’t like all the “stick on bits”
How can 91 octane turn in to 95 octane?
Fuel problem ...... I don't think so
"With the current tuning, it's putting out 0hp to the ground."
Was amazing to be walking Sema and see you and say hello. One of the highlights! Cheers Adam!
Thank you, you were only 1 of about 6 people who recognised me as I'm not big in the States
@@AdamC3046as I saw you in a circle of other CZcamsrs like Ed Bolian and Tyler Hoover I had to make sure to say hello, as I’ve been a fan of the content for ages. Keep it up my good man.
@@scager310 Sounds a strange question, but are you from the US?
@@AdamC3046I am good sir. Los Angeles, CA.
@@scager310 I remember, as you were the only American fan who recognised me. The rest were British or European 🫡
Thanks for saying hi
Nothing to with the fuel, modern cars more so top the range cars have knock sensors. The Audi would have advanced the timing to counteract the detonation problem
You are talking about factory cars, on modified cars it's up to you if you include these things. If you dont plan on using different types of fuel it is normal to tune it to the one you will use. Advancing the timing will destroy the engine faster..
@@noddey No 2 batches of fuel are the same… if your tuning to one tank of fuel on the ragged edge with no safeties then you’re an idiot lol. It has a tune and exhaust lol, hardly modified.
@@electricsnut i dont understand what you mean. If you tune a car for 98ron you will get problem when dragrace on 95 if you have mapped the engine to its potential. i dont know what mods or tune that has been done and it doesnt sound like you do either.
It blew up because there TOO MUCH AREO😂😂😂😂😂
It’s an Audi it was gonna break down sooner rather than later no matter what🤪
It’s lifted the head
blame your tune, not the fuel HAHAHA
Correction Adam Matt blew it up in Bakersfield California nowhere near Los Angeles California sorry
They are very close to eachother in US terms, under 2hrs into a 6hr trip.
So proportionally, yes they are close.
I guess they let anything in
LoL you and you broadcasting voice.....You should be at a sports event.
I keep thinking he's taking the piss but then I'm from UK 😅
I'm suprised you wouldn't know that after having modified cars..
if your tuned on 93 file, and you put a lower grade fuel & beat on the car, you will most definitely blow the motor
I'm stunned he left the map on. We all know the yanks fuel is shit.
Sorry but seman needs to have a run that cars need to be up and running condition ..... period .
Pleas look te rs6 here in holland. Name of CZcamsr. Don de jong
RS6 + RS7 swap engine = RS6 1/2 ?
