Sunset Red 1.4 TSI(TFSI) GT Sport - daily drive & track car
fuscobal:
It's exactly what I've told rex. The balance of the car might be pretty bad after installing a much heavier engine. The whole car is like 100-150kg lighter than a GTI and not only because of the engine. Installing a heavier engine might lead to something like 65-70/30-35 weight distribution !
Hurdy:
Changing from a 1.4 TSI to a 2.0 TFSI with DSG I calculated would add 37kg to my Polo GTI. It would do the same to yours Rex as it is basically the same swap. Moving the battery from the front to the rear would swap 14kg, a net swap of 28kg. Swap to a carbon bonnet and you should lose 7kg from the front, so, basically only a 2kg balance swap, which is neither here nor there in a 1.3 ton car. :smiley:
rex:
From what I read, the twincharge engine is 40kg heavier than the simple charge one (quite a big difference)....
monte:
Rex....Have I mentioned that your signature pic on the right is EPIC? :notworthy:
Tfsi_Mike:
I think your experience is outgrowing the 1.4 Vlad. If it's financially viable it would be great to see you in the realms of modified 2.0 Tfsi :driver:
