The Audi R8 4.2 FSI 430hp is a 4.2L naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 430 BHP and 430 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 440 BHP and 455 Nm — a gain of around 10 BHP (2%) and 25 Nm (6%).
This engine has low remap suitability, though the available headroom is limited, so gains are modest compared to higher-output variants. The tuning headroom is classified as limited, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
From a technical perspective, the ECU is typically a Bosch MED9/MED17 (varies), and the transmission is manual and dsg/s tronic automatics are common depending on model/engine. some dsg/dual-clutch gearboxes have torque management; calibration may be torque-limited. at this torque level, transmission and driveline servicing history becomes especially important..
Considerations: Naturally aspirated engine: gains are usually limited; results vary widely.. High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.
