Is the edition 30 engine the most tuneable
rich83:
The MK7R should do around 400 at stage 2 level

Certainly doesn't look like the MK7 is as tuneable out of the box

I think the same principles apply to the mk7 R, it's just that the ed30 in particular is a somewhat detuned k04 engine (no doubt not to step on the toes of the R32 power/price bracket).
If you take the TFSI S3 for example, they're 260ish bhp? And map to 300. The ed30 is 230 bhp and... maps to 300. Practically identical k04 engine.
So the ed30 seems more tunable than other TFSIs/TSIs, but it's just that it has a bit more slack to be taken up.

1.1 bar (IIRC) for the S3 and 0.9 bar for the ED30, otherwise identical engines :smiley:
400 from the MK7 sounds fun! The standard car can do 0-60 in 4.43 seconds, so it must be under 4 with 400hp!
AJP:
Loads on youtube doing it around 3.6 at 400bhp.
Madone:
Doesn't look like they require a fuel pump upgrade for that either. I don't know a thing about the engine in the MK7 R, do they still have the pump running off the camshaft ?, guessing they have improved that problematic follower design ?
pudding:
Yeah it still has the same pump setup but VW switched from the tappet to a roller follower, which solves that problem!
It also has VVT on both cams, timing chain and a few other minor improvements.
