Jackal Motorsports specializes in performance tuning for the Audi B8 S5 V8 platform, developing calibrations designed to deliver stronger performance while maintaining smooth and predictable driving characteristics. Whether your S5 is stock, modified, or equipped with a supercharger, Jackal Motorsports provides tuning solutions designed around your vehicle's configuration.
Performance Gains
Jackal Motorsports tuning can deliver up to +30 WHP and +50 ft-lbs over stock, depending on the vehicle's configuration, modifications, fuel, and mechanical condition.
The calibration is designed to improve power and torque throughout the usable RPM range while maintaining smooth drivability for everyday driving.
Jackal ZF6HP TCU Tune
The Jackal Motorsports package includes ZF6HP TCU tuning to complement the ECU calibration and improve the performance and behavior of the automatic transmission.
The TCU calibration provides:
- Higher rev limit
- Faster upshifts
- Faster downshifts
- Smoother transmission operation
- Improved launch behavior
- Improved overall drivability
- Better transmission response
By calibrating the ECU and TCU together, Jackal Motorsports can optimize engine power delivery and transmission behavior as a complete package.
Launch Control & Performance Features
Jackal Motorsports tuning adds performance-focused features designed to enhance the driving experience.
Available features include:
- Launch control
- Burble options
- 2-step functionality
- Improved throttle response
- Increased power and torque
- Improved drivability
- Better fuel economy during normal driving conditions
Burble and 2-step functionality can be controlled using the vehicle's cruise-control stalk, depending on the selected calibration and vehicle configuration.
Flash Your Tune at Home
With the Jackal flashing cable, customers can flash their ECU and TCU directly from home using the Jackal tuning suite.
The flashing system provides the flexibility to:
- Flash the ECU and TCU
- Switch between available tuning calibrations
- Change between supported octane files
- Return the vehicle to the stock calibration
- Switch calibrations free of additional flashing charges
This allows you to adapt your S5's calibration as your fuel or modifications change without repeatedly paying for flashing services.
Supercharged & Boosted B8 S5 Support
Jackal Motorsports also provides tuning support for supercharged and boosted B8 S5 4.2L V8 applications.
Jackal Motorsports reports tuning the fastest quarter-mile JHM supercharged B8 S5 V8, achieving an 11.26-second quarter mile at 126 MPH. The vehicle was a full-weight, stock-motor manual S5 equipped with a JHM Stage 2 intercooled supercharger kit, 3.8-inch pulley, 93-octane fuel, and water-methanol injection.
Custom tuning support allows modified vehicles to receive calibration appropriate for their specific hardware and setup.
