You gonna be trying the new DSG Remap Jonny?
I'm surprised you moved away from the quattro especially with the quest for big power.
What wheels were fitted to the S3??? They are very nice!!
Great collection of cars, great plans.
Im looking forward to this!!
You will find out Friday :wink:I have found out what alloys you are gettin jonny(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fqq165%2Fmadmangti_photo%2Fbigwheels.jpg&hash=89993db8086b763595c66f18465edd4ebae0977f) think you might have a prob with the fit thou mate :grin: :grin: :grin:
They are very very nice though.. I hope they fit!!! (thats a clue by the way) lol..
Hmm 2 piece?
Jonny hope this helps with your confidence:

Read every page of your S3 build thread on Audi-sport.net, by far one of the nicest S3's around so props on that one Jonny.
Can't wait to see what you do with the MK5!!
Welcome to the forum Johnny.
I love crazy people and you my friend definitely are :laugh: in the sense of modding cars that is.
I loved both your last 2 and i am sure this will be no different. the S3 was stunning and i often took a blimp at your GTI on page 6 of members rides GolfGTIforum. co.uk.
It will be really interesting to see if you can get all that power down through the DSG never mind the front wheel drive. :rolleye: Cant wait.
Good stuff have you considered the white line anti-lift kit to help with traction, every litlle helps as they say and its pretty cheap.

My car is a road car so im not that bothered about bushes, ARB's etc.. I wont take it on a circuit etc and probably wont have it that long,

love that bit :rolleye: you must be mad but :happy2: from me
I don't really think its for us to comment on the reasons for selling the S3. :laugh:
I'm looking forward to seeing this ED30 though.
Oh I assume if you sold your previous mk5 to Regal, it will have been the one I saw at UDs this year? (very nice)

Waits in anticipation... :drool:lol, tomorrow never comes... :smiley:
Jonny, i have a brand new s3 intercooler inc boost pipes if you want it for your car.Hi i am looking for an s3 intercooler for my seat leon fr, how much you looking for it? Thanks
Pm me if you want it mate :smiley:
Cant wait to see what your going to do with the mk5. S3 was awesome 8)

Yeah its the anti-lift kit, thats a marketing thing though really..In reality is an up rated poly bushed front wishbone mount..
Yeah pleased with the wheels, as I said I cant wait to get it lowered now!! :happy2:
No worries mate..
After driving the car a little more you really do notice the parts that have been installed up to now.. Engine mounts fantastic as usual but a big improvement in the steering feel from the anti-lift kit..
Jonny
sweet mods :happy2:
How do you find the VF mounts?,
Im very tempted but always put off because I think the car is harsh enough as it is, let alone with new mounts.
Does it stop engine movement completely?
Yeah its the anti-lift kit, thats a marketing thing though really..In reality is an up rated poly bushed front wishbone mount..
Suppose it would help.. But where do you stop?? You could end up chasing it all around the car..
The main reason I did it was to stop the wheel hop that the GTI suffers with so badly, did the full Vf mount kit and the lower arms and its 90% gone..
Oh - also thinking of getting uprated engine mounts... after reading about them on R32OC and here. This modding thing never ends does it? :ashamed:
Lol, yeah thinking about having them black but really I have done it on my last couple of cars and I want to try something a little different with this set.. Put it this way, they wont be standard colour for long ha..
Thanks mate.. Yeah its pretty mega, very lucky!
Exterior still has a fair few more bits to be done..
Still not 100% happy with the front ride height, need to take out the helper springs to go any lower though, I want it dropped another 10mm at the front..
Going to have the front grille done in matt black, remove the front plate etc and have the rear bumper diffuser section matt black too. Also have some front tints done, really subtle, to blend them to the factory tinted rears.. Thats pretty much it for the exterior.. A few tiny details here and there but nothing major for now..
Then I need to do the brakes, as they are f*cking hopeless..
And thennnnn! Its time for a load more power.. :laugh:
are your coilovers the clubsport KW's and what are helper springs. :smiley:
Any lower and your front splitter is gonna get dog eared ?? :scared:
I like it Jonny :happy2: Agree the front needs to go down a bit more, I think it will be well worth it. I have 50% tints all around and these look really light, it does make a difference though. Keep it up :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :jumpmove:
:drool: dont know what to say other than im very much in love with this dub
Should hopefully know some more soon on the DSG stuff :)
Jonny
wow...it looks great. i love the white lip!do you mean the the stripe that should be red ???????????/
You may as well totally debadge your car while you are at it!
I know what your saying, and I agree in theory.. But the MK5 is hardly a classic, maybes on a MK1 GTI..
Anyways like all these things its personal preference, I like the White stripe in the same way others like fitting every tarty add on part available under the sun.. Whatever makes you happy isn't it? :happy2:
WOW Jonny! I have been away for a week and the transformation in such a short time is awesome! Loving the drop, the wheels, the white stripe on the grill, the yellow fogs! I could go on and on! Really looking forward to seeing it in four months time :happy2: :jumpmove:
so you are running stage 2 on a stock exhaust ?
....
Is a roll-cage on your list? - In other words, having stripped out the back, do you intend to track it regularly?
:xmassmiley:

can i just ask why did you bother buying an ed 30 / gti you could have started with a base model and fitted the parts you wanted to that just with the engine turbo etc ???????????? :confused:....

:xmassmiley:
Nope, they are quite heavy :grin:
Removing the rear interior parts purely for performance, dont have anyone in the rear of the car so its no inconvenience to me.. Having a carpet made to cover the shell, so it looks like this.. (less the scaffolding)
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fo304%2Fjonnnny28%2F2770569768_cac1dd9cde_o.jpg&hash=f8db74dc2f44961c5a091f010c26fd775869545c)
Weight saving and lightening this car is going to be a big part of the concept, my target is to remove 150KG from the car, which will make a huge difference in terms of performance..
These are the parts that are going to save the weight, some of which I have already done :happy2:
WHEELS & TYRES
REAR SEATS
BOOT CONTENTS + REAR MATS
SUSPENSION
INTAKE
FRONT SEATS
BRAKES
BATTERY
EXHAUST
CARBON FRONT WINGS
CARBON BONNET
REMOVE BONNET INSULATION
SINGLE FRONT WIPER KIT
REAR WIPER DELETE
POLY CARBONATE REAR WINDOWS
POSSIBLY REMOVE THE AIRCON SYSTEM, PUMP, RAD, HOSES ETC ETC
Im going for a Club-Sport type of spec, dont want to strip the car out and have it a bare shell inside, need to keep a certain level of comfort, and I want it to look like it could have came like this from the factory, R26R style..so you are running stage 2 on a stock exhaust ?
Having an exhaust made very soon, reason I went for the Stage 2 right away was so that I could have the exhaust made and fitted to my car without having a CEL up on the dash.. should be on straight after new year :smiley:
....yes cant agree more imo this should be made a criminal offence :fighting:
To all those who would change the colour of their GTI/Ed30/Pirelli's iconic red lipstick line around the upper grill..........:mad: SACRILEGE!!!! :fighting:
You may as well totally debadge your car while you are at it!
Even if you say compare the GTI to the ED30 as a base car..
Lower compression, stronger crank, forged rods, K04 turbo.. The whole engine is different
I think its more to do with the fact that they would be aware of the potential of the K04 turbo, and the fact that people are going to tune them up..
Oh I don't know, you can order Oettinger stuff including remaps direct from dealers in Germany with full VW warranty back up (unless it has changed very recently).
....
Actually, Jonny, if you prefer to keep a thread protected from meandering bods like me, you can always lock it and open up another discussion thread in another area of the site - Plus a link in it to the locked Read-Only topic.
Hope This Helps (HTH)
Jonny, what state of tune are you looking at for the meet at Pod (1st Feb)? Should be a seriously quick motor when finished..
DSG works well with the power doesn't it, just no dip in power at all, I love it... :xmasrolleyes:
Even if you say compare the GTI to the ED30 as a base car..jonny you may be able to solve a long term thing for me , do you know the spec of the ed30 engine ? when i first got my car heard rumours it was an s3 engine in a de tuned state , is this true ? or whats the spec ? cheers mate :happy2: also are you doing the rear lower bumper in black ? i was going to do it but chickened out !! :innocent:
Lower compression, stronger crank, forged rods, K04 turbo.. The whole engine is different
Then the full body kit etc.. and the fact that is it a limited car, I think thats cooler, as less people are likely to do this type of thing, at the end of the day im doing all of this for my own enjoyment, and part of why I like it is to make my cars individual, and like nothing else..
Anyways, the aim with this car is to make it the fastest ED30/GTI in the UK.. So starting with an ED30 made sense.. :happy2:

Ah they look cool. Like the dark anthracite colour :happy2:
Anyone done the lower section of the rear bumper in black on an ED30? Sure I have seen a pic somewhere.. :jumpmove:
Ah cool, thanks for that mate.. Looks cool! :smiley:
are the Turinis 19"
Hey all..
Heres a couple of comparison shots of the ED30 courtesy of Santa dropping off a copy of Photoshop for me :happy2:
Just shows a few plans that I have for the exterior over the coming weeks :laugh:

Let me know what you think!
Jonny
Plans are looking good mate, what are you planning on doing with the front number plate - if your gona put one on that is :wink:
Ah cool, yeah I think they look great.. Although this isn't exactly the colour im going for, its going to be a lot more battle ship grey than anthracite.. Should look a little different!!
I think with tyres they are about 17-18KG..
I tried to get the Mg wheels but you need to order 12 sets lol..
^^^^
Much easier to see your car's stance now that you haven't photographed her on grass.
If you are looking to lose weight - Carbonfibre bonnet? You can paint the outside top (as I have done) if you don't like the look.
Oh God, those wheels...
Am I right in calculating they'll sit 9mm further out that a Monza II, are you getting any arch issues?
Hope you don't mind but I've sent a link of your pic to Tabs over on uk-MKIVs, as he's looking at them too. If not, let me know and I'll delete it.
Mike.
Yeah I had to do a fair bit of work to make them fit, and there is no way you could have it anywhere near as low as I have it without having the camber adjustable top mounts, adding negative camber gives you another 10-15mm clearance at the top..

....I'm sure you already know that negative camber is going to adversely effect your tyres' life. Why not choose something like KW Clubsports where you can simply dial-in the negative camber just for track days.
Haha you are mental, which company are you getting for the carbon panels :smiley:
i love to see your progress and think the car is looking great but cant help thinking i would have just brought this

i can see what your saying i just love the rs 4 (especially this yellow one ) i went in as a passenger in a revo demo car when revo was only just coming to the uk and the noise and power that thing made i will never forget , my ed30 is quick but imo is not in the same league as the rs 4 . are you at the santa pod meet ?would like to see/hear your car for real :happy2:i love to see your progress and think the car is looking great but cant help thinking i would have just brought this

Mine now is a fair bit quicker than an RS4, had this whole conversation when I had my S3.. The RS4 is big, limited when it comes to tuning, not quick as standard and would look like I was driving my dad's car..
Ask Vtec about RS4's.. lol
Yeah ill be there.. Really looking forward to it, should be good fun!
A well tuned K04 car can see of an RS4 with ease.. I did it yesterday in mine actually lol..
And in my S3 with K04.. With the big turbo it was a joke lol..
Do you mean these.

is that each :laugh:
Thanks guys.. Really pleased with the car as it is now.. but its at this point now where its starting to get serious lol..So what you are saying is that it's going to be $hit slow then Jonny? :wink:
Anyways after a few recalculations, and having the figures in front of me for the carbon parts it seems that its more like 225KG - 250KG saving that is going to be achievable..
Plus another 15Kg's off that if I decide to remove the Air con pump, rad, pipe work etc etc.. Really undecided on this though.. hmm
Anyways it seems that I should be able to get down to 1150Kg's with the plans that I have.. Not bad I dont think!
Also it would have a better power to weight ratio figure than a 997 GT3 RS, E46 CSL, Nissan GTR, 997 Turbo, RS4, E92 M3, Noble M12 GT03-R, Lotus Exige S 240 Cup Race version.. You get the idea lol..
:)
Is the black JBS mk4 r32 matt?
i dont think so as andy should be coming in his 600bhp golf r32 :evilgrin:
Is the black JBS mk4 r32 matt?yes fella its this one
Would love to see that :smiley:
I went down to the GTI International with Andy in convoy with the JBS guys - fastest I've EVER done that journey :signLOL:
Andy's car sounds awesome coming past you on themotorwayprivate road doing ***mph. I thought mine was fast but his is just bonkers fast :drool: He did 11 second passes all weekend with a boost pipe leak :surprised:
I wouldn't be surprised if he got into the 10's at the pod now it's running well. :happy2:
err sorry Jonny for the thread jack :ashamed:

I don't think Stage 2+ alone will put it into GTR terriotory alone mate.. Jonny's will be when it's finished, as it will of shed over a 1/4 of a tonne in weight, so seriously raising it's bhp/tonne.
Its official..
Car is booked in to go to VW Racing on Monday for a load of bits to be fitted..
Unfortunately there is a back order on the seats and I wont be able to have the poly windows fitted for another 3-4 weeks, so not in time for the Pod date!
Shame.. Still, ill be there and doing my best :happy2:
Cant wait to drop the car off with the guys there, going to be a new beast when I pick it up im sure!!
Big update coming once I get the car back! Should be late next week :driver:
Quite excited.. lol :laugh:
Jonny
Bet you can't wait for the first person to come upto you and say "Nice car mate, what exactly have you had done to it?"... "You got half hour mate?"... :grin:
Thats a Serious! car your building there..
What you going to do with your old vf mounts when you get the vw racing ones??
Il take them off your hands :happy2:
Ash.
....
Hi Jonny,
I was up at VWR on Tuesday and probably a quick visit there again this week coming (but haven't spoken to Mark about it yet).
You'll be in very good hands as I'm sure you already realise. :happy2:
Looking fantastic! This is the best topic on this forum in my eyes!
How much was the battery, if you don't mind me asking? Not really looking to purchase, but just want an idea. From looking at your photos, it doesn't look like the carbon fibre ones that they offer? Correct me if I'm wrong :smiley:

Thanks mate.. Your only saying that because I have finally posted some pics lol..
Well, the battery with the clamp I bought was £175, but with an aluminium bracket its about £250, seen as how the battery is not going to be on show I thought it was pretty pointless buying a fancy looking bracket..
Quite funny regarding the Carbon battery, its actually a carbon skin wrapped around the battery I have, purely cosmetic, so if anything it weights more! So I went for the MUCH cheaper lighter, lightweight option lol.. :happy2:
Think i will be going custom with the exhaust, i really want more noise. Will put the milltek tbe up for sale soon and hopefully get a custome done around march time.
Sounds really good jonny :happy2:
Picturesssss!!
When the car goes into VWR im going to ask the guys there to take pics of the car during its surgery! So plenty more to come.. :wink:
Jonny

The milltek isnt loud enough for me :driver:

Just a few add ons then mate... lol. Be interesting to see what she makes on the rollers, 360 I reckon. Where is it at?
The milltek isnt loud enough for me :driver:

You're telling us you beat an R8?! :surprised: :surprised:
I'd still love an R8 to pose in though.. :grin:
Haha..The thing is, thats the reason I wont have a car like that for a long time.. M3, RS4 etc etc.. Just not enough things that you can play with on them.. I love the fact that the Golf is a great chassis with a seriously under tuned strong engine from the factory.. So so much potential!!
Performance increase per £ is huge in comparisson to say a new M3
Plus, while im still young I would much rather have a 500BHP Golf GTI than a standard M3, RS4 etc etc etc..
I can't wait to see what times you get at the pod after the VWR upgrades :happy2:

Hey all..
Got the car back from VW Racing, again fantastic service etc and all the work has been completed to the highest standard!
No pics as yet but ill be doing a big update on all of the work completed over the next couple of days when I get a chance.
All I have to say is WOW!! The car is amazing now.. 100% transformed with the Diff as you would expect, really glad I went for this!
Very nice pal.. When are the wheels getting sprayed? Thought that was happening whilst at VWR? Did you get it on the rollers at the weekend?
jonny, is removing the rear wiper an easy job? also whered you get a bung to fit?

ive installed the S3 cooler on my gti, took me about 5 1/2 hours but i think i could do it in about 4 now. its pritty straight forward, front bumper and grill can be off in 15 mins, then its just taking you time and following any instructions, and also keeping track of all the screws that you take out :ashamed:
i think the twintercooler ill be quicker(easier) than the S3 one as you will be keeping the std cooler. so not as much work. but if your doing this (and you obv aint strapped for cash) why not combine the S3 cooler with the forge twintercooler. they youl be verry cooooooooooooooool :scared:

Ok cool, so really if I set aside 4 hours for this then that should be enough as I dont have to remove the AC rad etc etc like you did.
Im having the S3 cooler installed also along with custom boost pipes when the car goes to forge next month but I need to get the twin cooler on now really as its running a lot of boost on the K04 and the ED30 cooler is maxed out..
I need to get the twin cooler on now really as its running a lot of boost on the K04 and the ED30 cooler is maxed out..
Personally id just wait, and have it done together, but that me!
if your handy with a spanner and know your way around the mk5 well then id say you could get it done in 4 hours easily.
id also have a guide handy, i used the twintercooler gide, but worked out the rest. infact you could probs to the twincooler in about 3 hours.
....Is the maxing out manifesting itself in particular ways that you can feel are limiting your performance?
Oh i see, thanks for clearing that up. So with a 3" system i will lose torque but make bhp?
Think i fancy going decat to get a little more pop n bang :evilgrin:
Thats because the DSG has a torque limiter and will be pulling the car back, requested boost will be more than actual..

Not according to VAGCOM JC.. Been tested quite a few times now and requested an actual were bang on. About 1.5-1.6 bar IIRC..
Good stuff. Had a go straight line with my mate in his m3 csl and the cars were pretty much dead even. May go with pump, stage2 and 3"custom so i can whoop his ass lol :grin:

Definately have that mate.. Ask Hurdy, he experienced it today when I met him for a quick coffee. If I run B7 T7 F9 it pulls like a bitch top end, but then after every change I get a hideous pause in power.. :sad: The only settings I can run to get rid of that (well 80% of it), is B9 T6 F9. Just a bit aggresive for the greasy roads at min, so have to be gentle on the throttle.. :laugh:
If we get chance on sunday Jonny, I wouldn't mind a ride out in each others car. You will see what I mean then..
Mine still wont slip, when it does start doing it badly im going clutchmasters instead of vwr. Need to go flywheel too.
Did you get a flywheel and clutch from vwr matt?
Bens is definately a strong engine :evilgrin:No stronger then yours mate according to Prosports rollers.. Well apart from that bogus 373bhp run of mine.. :grin:
No i meant the 331 run. Thats when yours made 326 so thats 5bhp more.I think Jonny will be in a league of his own and leave the rest of us to fight it out for ourselves. But going of his spec now, it's hardly suprising.. That thinkg will run mid 12's in the right conditions i'm sure.. :evilgrin:
Think i will kick your ass at pod now :grin:
Only joking, i think you and jonnyc will be the top2 :happy2:
But can Jonny fight the nerves and handle all 340ish of his horses!!?And the rest.... :wink:
But can Jonny fight the nerves and handle all 340ish of his horses!!? I suppose DSG makes his life a hell of a lot easier!
I would like 450BHP with around 350ft/lbs, you would be very surprised, a well set up FWD car with high quality plate type LSD and sticky tyres can cope with that power no trouble at all, its the torque and sudden boost that will break traction, so its all in the tuning really :smiley:
Jonny
Speaking to Mark from VWR today, I asked about the torque limit of the DSG gearbox and he was quite certain that you can't push it beyond 295 ft/lbs (400nm) without clutch slip, As for the uprated DSG clutch packs, he wasn't too sure about whether they worked well or not :sad:
I gathered from this, that VWR test every publically available mod to death before they approve it :happy2:
[Again, I have no vested interest in VWR/RL but I am a "fanboy" because my experiences have been nothing but excellent and I've grown to know their ethos]
Off to Wales now! :happy2:
Got a little mod today fitted today.. :wink:
Think ill save it for Sunday though lol..

I was going to get a pair of Michelin Pilot Cup Sports for the fronts but decided against as its going to be very cold... Got some Michelin Pilot Sports all round though. :evilgrin: Not as grippy as the Toyos though :sad: But then again, how good are they in this weather?

Hi illyun, I notice that "VWR Race Engine Mounts" are listed in your sig - I don't want to hijack this thread, so have you posted your thoughts about them anywhere?
Thanks,

My PS2's have gone right off now mate, so I certainly won't be shooting of he line in a great hurry.. :sad:
A nice big burnout will get plenty of temperature into them! :happy2:
I know what rims they are :wink:
Are they? :grin: :grin: :grin: So that'll be two white Ed30s with gloss black TD's ripping up the strip then.. Albeit one a lot faster than the other.. :ashamed:I know what rims they are :wink:

not as much power wasted in the haldex :smiley:

I should manage yeah.. :happy2:
Great thread jonny, just read the whole thing :happy2:
Your have good thiking regarding this car, similar lines to what I have done, whats your thougts on a big turbo?
Ive recently gone the water/meth route to give the 2871R a higher yield, although cant beat a k03/k04 on spooling times :)
Love the weeight saving techniques, not sure I could lose all that comfort and sound dampending though, as mines still a daily commuting machine :)
How do you find the vibrations from the engine mounts?
Jonny as said on SCN; read the thread yesterday and so impressed :happy2:
How long you keeping this one?
Im in 2 minds whether to keep the golf and mod it further or get something different around winter time.
Jonny what car are you thinking of next?
I really like the tt rs but the its not worth £45k imo
Jonny make sure you speak to me first if your thinking of selling :wink:
yes.. yes i do :laugh:
OK where can I get some cheap pro race 1.2's in black :jumpmove:

Dan you can have Jonny's, when he finally gets brave and stuns us with his carbon rims. :party: :party: :party:
ok with the 235/40's you run, is the difference basically a bit more rubber on the road? I take it your wheels are 18x8?

new turbo installed = cover of PVW??? they should be doing a mk5 madness issue soon enough :party:
This car is really going to be something special :drool:
Stage 1 is going to be nuts with the BT but stage 2 sounds incredible. I like that you have made sure that the chassis is capable of handling the power. There are many cars out there running huge turbos with impressive power figures but the reality is that most of these cant handle the power. When it is all done yours will be able to eat alive most things on the road and it will be just as impressive on the track. Keep up the good work Jonny :happy2:
I know this maybe a bit cheeky but a ride out in her at a meet would be brilliant. I would really like to see and feel how this thing goes :happy2:

Cool, thats really nice of you matey :happy2:
Sure mate, on the next event ill take you out in the car. Should have the bits done fairly soon hopefully!
Not sure this info is useful but the complete standard brake set up weighs 49kgs.
I was expecting them to be heavy but at nearly 50kgs! :laugh:
On the plus side, theres plenty of weight saving to be had. :happy2:
....
Each VW stock front brake assembly weighs 15.10 Kg, so fronts would weigh 30.20 Kg - This info isn't out of any text book either online or otherwise - It's physically weighing them at AP Racing's works in Coventry.
Dunno about the stock rears.
HTH :happy2:
The stock front and rear is 49kgs, thats calipers, pads, carriers and discs. :happy2:
I'll race ya jonny :evilgrin:
Im waiting also on some prototype front wings and rear arch work so that I can fit the 265/30/18 R888 tyres with the 9" wide wheels, this will make a huge difference in controlling the power..
Jonny
I'll take the r888's if your getting rid of the wheels :happy2:

Just to put all of that into some numbers and give you an idea of just how fast this is going to be!..
My car at Santa Pod was running 1300KG and 360BHP so roughly 278HP/Ton
With the turbo kit and the extra weight saving I should be looking at a power to weight ratio of around 383HP/Ton with 'Stage 2' seeing just over 500HP/Ton

I would of thought your car will weigh less than 1300kgs mate. I had my car weighed at a weigh bridge that had just been recalibrated 2 days previous (not totally bang on though I know, but gives a good idea) and it weighed 1405kgs. This was during the week whist at work and had a brimmed tank, and about 30-40 kgs of work ggear in the boot too + misc clutter in the car. Now with all that removed, + rear seats and your other bits I would of though it would have you under 1300kgs mate..
My car will be weighed at the 30-130 day on proper scales so will give you a update then.. :happy2:
....
For what it's worth, mine weighed 1,492 Kg on VWR's corner-weighting scales and the only weight-saving bits I have from stock are the front brakes and carbon bonnet (only approx 20 Kg total saving).

Does anyone know what VW list the weights as for 3 and 5-dr GTI's?
GTI..
3dr - 1328KG
5dr - 1328KG
DSG 3 & 5dr - 1347KG
All of which seem very low to me.. Interesting that the 3 and 5 door cars are listed as having the same weight.
My car weighed in at 1320KG on the VWR scales with roughly 20 litres of fuel in, hence the 1300KG weight. That is with roughly 105KG of weight saving, so I would say the standard 3 door DSG ED30 weighs around the 1400KG mark, if not a little more..
None of that really explains how RR's car is almost 1500KG! With 20KG of weight saving.. Very strange..
Jonny
Ahh, all becomes clear. Sunroof = no idea, but a panel of glass and a mechanism surely weighs more than a sheet of thin metal. Not much though I'd imagine..
Right, I'll stop littering now Jonny.
500bhp FTW!
Remember what you said about doing things right the first time, rather than chasing upgrades and potentially wasting money?
Just do it, you can always wind it down if it's too much - you can't add power as easily!

I love this project, but what is the aim? I know you said it wasn't just chasing big power! Pioneer or just want to abuse super cars in a Golf?
I know if I had the kind of money you have, I'd be taking the track route (I know this wouldn't appeal to you though :signLOL:)
It's a genuine question, and Im interested in an answer. :happy2:
Excellent! I was thinking the other night, with the figures you mentioned, there won't be many other mk5s worldwide with those kind of figures, right? :drool:
Anyway always great to see an epic modding thread. :happy2:
what bumpers?? thunderbunny at a guess?
^^^ I agree! Thunderbunny with a twist of carbon fibre!
Mark farmer said somebody has pested and pested him into selling a front bumper as fitted to A11 RRL, would that be you ?
are very own stig

I reckon I know what the rear is going to be and I haven't been speaking to Mark at VWR about it. Shall I say what I think it is?

Also.. Today I had the exhaust changed a little.. I have gone to a straight pipe front section, removing two large silencer boxes, and played around with the middle box a little.. It now sounds mental!!! Very loud, very aggressive, huge pops and bangs.. Mega! haha.. :laugh:

Stunning car Jonny, tell me you keeping this ?
I love your mods they are mental, i can only imagine/sh*t myself as to how fast that car is, after sitting in Johns . :drinking:
you gotta take me for a drive one day if i ever meet you 8)
enjoy :driver:
I am really loving the seats, they look in great nick as well. :smiley:
surprised they are lighter than stock even without the gubbins. Have you any plans to get them re-trimmed like your first set. :party:

It finishes it off and visually unifies that whole central upper and lower grill which is so distinctive on the Mk5 GTI/Ed30.
Otherwise (as your other pic shows) it looks like a piece dropped off your car.
Is that the Forge Twintercooler or have you ditched the aircon?

Thing I like about your car is that, yes its a big money project, but you get your hands dirty too!
I like the grill surround, and like you say will be perfect once you lose the inner white on the bumper.
Good lad! :happy2:
need to learn to enjoy it now once I have 'finished' a project lol..
Just need to learn to enjoy it now once I have 'finished' a project lol..So don't sell it just yet, get that big turbo on and blaze a trail through Santa Pod and the various VDub festivals this year... I think it will be unforgettable and certainly set the perfomance benchmark as far as Mk5/Mk6's are concerned for a few years... unless I go big turbo next year :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: But then again, I don't want to ditch aircon and all internal trim :grin: :grin: :grin:
Jonny, Id' personally put the standard lower front grill back on as it looks civilised - but thats my humble opinion and someone else might think it looks better without. :happy2: BTW, you could stick another aftermarket front bumper/grill on... I prefer the standard one though.
Thought you were changing the front/rear bumpers buddy?? :confused: Sorry if I've missed something! :innocent:
Update..looks great that mate , been toying with the idea of getting this done for ages , how does it look around the lip where the tail pipes come out ? who done it , how much ? :happy2:

Really pleased with it! Im planning on having the mirrors, and possibly the centre section of the Votex / OEM ED30 front splitter done in the same Matte Black finish.. Think that could tie in pretty nicely..
Im going to try and neaten up the front intercooler grill tomorrow, I have a feeling its not going to look right and at the moment im pretty much decided that im going back to a standard lower grill, doesn't seem like I can get the quality of finish that im after, I dont want that to let down the overall appearance of the car..
Anyways let me know what you guys think!

Jonny can you tell me the weight of the rear bench and passenger seat, in kg, aproximetly? Anyone else? Please!
i didnt realise it took so long to fit a bonnet! you working with cheese? :P
that looks smart but that bumper lower grill just looks horrid mate and makes the front look untidy and like you forgot to fit something :signLOL: but the bonnet looks the dogs
I know its still your daily driver Jonny, so you probably wouldn't want to mess about with this (and due to other complications also), but how much weight would be saved from getting rid of the xenons, and just putting normal headlights in?
I love you car - just wish I was brave enough to do it to my own 9 month old car !
Looks great, if I can be cheeky - what is the damage on a VWR Carbon Bonnet ?
I love the thread and the way your Edition 30 CS keeps evolving - awesome !
All the best

carbon front wings you say!? im liking the idea of a wider track and wider tyres maybe??
are RS4 front stoppers on that list of yours? its only right that they are :party:
i miss the turinis but a big :happy2: all the same
you can get a clear coat laminate to protect the carbon @ that price it would be wise investment.Looks good
Did you not buy a braille battery? just I see the original battery box and wondered why you still have it seeing as your slimfasting :laugh:.
for the prev page I think the seats weighed 75-80kg (thats 2x fronts and rear bench)
drive naked that should spare a few KGs :laugh:
carbon boot on the list???
Looking very very good Jonny... :drool: :drool: :drool: can't wait to see it on Sunday.
I didn't know VWR did CF?! :confused: I would have bought my bonnet from them if I'd known - your bonnect looks beter quality than mine, although i'm sure it cost more than £400 :chicken: ... still I'm also after wings, rear hatch (not with polycarbonate though) and maybe doors... but later this summer. My car's with JKM at the moment - I'm hoping and praying it'ill be fine for the strip on Sunday as its only got 255bhp due to the lean fuel issues with Stage 2+ on the car. :sad:

Its a mod.
Great time Jonny! Jesus....I thought you had a fuel pump. What have you done? Intake, TBE (decat), Intercooler, Stage2+ ? That it? And obviously the weight reduction.
Ahh I see! So how come you ran with the normal fuel pump today then?
Update..
So, had a really good day at Santa Pod today.. Only ran the car twice but I was very pleased with the results!
60ft.. 2.2670
330ft.. 5.6531
ET.. 8.3467
MPH.. 91.52
ET.. 10.5924
ET.. 12.6017
MPH.. 115.85
I had another run but was down 8 hundredths..
Pretty pleased considering the car was ran on the standard K04 turbo, normal pump fuel, road legal tyres, and in road trim! So I didn't do anything for the day, so its a true road car time!
I was a little disappointed not to drop into the 12.5's but I put that down to the lower trap speeds, the ambient temp was up a fair bit over the last day I ran and also there was a huge que for the strip, so the car got heat soaked to death before both runs.. It really didn't feel as crisp as it does out on the road during a run around..
Anyways just shows what bolt on parts can do, and the weight coming out makes a huge difference too!
As far as I know that time makes this MK5 the fastest 2.0T FSI car in the UK and the fastest MK5 in the UK. Also the fastest DSG MK5 in the world.. Which is quite cool! : )
Dont think im going to run again until someone beats that time, give my car a rest I think..
In the mean time its only going to get faster! haha..
Jonny
Ahh I see! So how come you ran with the normal fuel pump today then?
Nope, I was on the Autotech fuel pump.. How come you thought I was on the OEM pump??

Or am i being dumb - quite possible... :ashamed: :embarrassed:
Oh I'm an idiot....I kept reading that as 'fuel pump' not 'pump fuel'. I guess cos im so used to seeing fuel pump written, not pump fuel.
My eyes deceived me! Apologies!
what tyres were u using?? seem to get good traction off the line.
i duno how those tyres can work in the wet let alone snow!
Great time Jonny :happy2:
Don't you also have Quaife for that little extra distribution of grip?
Got to say dude that your exhaust sounds fantastic, coming from the dude who gave a thumbs up in the traffic jam on the m1.

Didn't get to make much noise unfortunately, wasn't much room haha..
so i take it u had the dsg map for this?
he did have his clothes on right? :grin:
Did you get a vid of your 12.6 run jonny?
Just think if you didnt eat breakfast you would of been in the high 12.5's :signLOL:
Do what Honda did with the NSX Type R, and get a fine mesh for the gear/handbrake gaiters! That leather on the gaiters sure is heavy :grin: :grin:
or are u running bio fuel :signLOL:
how hard/easy would it be to run the car on it?
how hard/easy would it be to run the car on it?
Not really a massive issue, so long as the E85 is compatible with the fuel lines, injectors, seals etc etc.. As some E85 will corrode those parts if left sitting for a while..
It would just be a case of possibly optimizing injector size (depending on what turbo you are running) and flow rates etc, then mapping the car to make the most of it, so you would be able to run a fair bit more ignition advance because of the low temp of the combustion and the high affective octane rating.. (up to 120 Ron)
Friend of mine used to put Tolurine in his R32 with the ignition wound right up, crazy horrible stuff - but by God it was a weapon!!
....
Jonny - I had a good look around your car parked on the forum 'stand' yesterday.
Good: Looks absolutely like a 'normal' road car and not as hardcore as it really is. Looks very stylish and obviously some performance features can be recognised and enjoyed by the cognescenti.
Not so good: The lower front grill surround is still unfinished (or looks so). And those little depressions in the bonnet surely shouldn't be there. VWR's car is the same but I haven't spoken to Mark about it as yet.
I hope you don't mind my honesty in my comments. :smiley:
Im waiting to hear back from VWR on the bonnet, sure it will be sorted right away..
Jonny
Sweet Jesus! I cant wait!!!!
So no new turbo then? Sorry for yet another question - I can't keep up with your progress lol!
Car was looking great a Santa Pod Jonny :drool: :drool: :drool:
Love the sound of your new plans. When you say Recaros, do you mean the ones you currently have or are you binning them off and going for something lighter? :happy2:
Wow ! What an awesome thread. Just spent the last 2 hours going through it. Amazing car Jonnyc :happy2:
Anyways Robin has bought the seats out of my car (R32 Recaros) and my new seats should be in Thursday next week.. As far as I know they are going to be one of a kind too! hehe.. Love a bit of custom work!! :wink:

....The seats I'm getting from you are one of a kind too - They are the fastest Mk5 seats in the UK over the quarter-mile!
(I'll be 62 next Thursday) If there's a change to next Thursday, Jonny, it's no problem - I'm totally flexible.

Jonny, seems like your car is no longer the quickest Mk5 GTi down the strip. This ones just obliterated your previous times.&feature=related
Time to alter your sig pic about having the quickest mk5 in the world :signLOL: :wink:

His is the quickest in the uk, and quickest dsg in the world. The gti in the video is a manual :happy2:
Although it does prove that red is the fastest colour :laugh:

^^^^
Also, Jonny has road-legal tyres and normal road fuel - Did the red car?
Oh, they're nice! Do they slide and everything? Pole Positions??
Oh, they're nice! Do they slide and everything? Pole Positions??
....They slide on the runners and tilt adjustability is done via the screw fixings in the slots and holes in the aluminium side supports. I know because I helped Jonny install them - Easy when you know how but took a heck of a lot of working out!
As you'll doubtless see when Jonny completes and posts pics, they really suit the car interior - I was surprised how they don't just look like a bolted on goodie - Their detailing matches the interior finishes (the ones which are currently remaining!!).
The last touch for the interior would be to go with carbon trims for the dash and doors, nothing but looks for this one, can't imagine there would be any real weight saving lol.. I would also have a nice little Edition 30 sticker made up to keep it looking OEM..

....Do you mean the 'brushed aluminium' horizontal strips on doors and dash? - I'm going to have mine wrapped in carbonskin vinyl along with the Recaro seat backs (if possible).
Btw, I think I've found a source for Interlagos cloth and am just waiting for a snailmailed sample - So I'll get back to ya soon :happy2:
Yours is looking very good, jonny 8)

Yes strangely the neon blue suits your car, but its a fine line you tred mr-c to much and you tip the scales.
I knew you wouldn't be able to resist the lure of the Alleggerita's :happy2:
I've seen a few threads over on the MKV forum about having 255's on a GTI and hope/prayed/wondered if this is what you'd go for.

How many mods can one man do, there can't be any more left, but I suspect there are! Jonny get yourself down to The Golf Centre in Darlo again one Saturday morning so we can all have a bit of a drool. :happy2: I'm there every week and there's usually a few others. In fact we'll have to have a mini NE meet there some time! My black edition CHs arrive today for mk ED30, so I'll be showing those off this week lol.

Hi jonny, My names Tom Cowell and i met you years ago at stokesley college when you had your copper s am a mate of Glen Cummins....
I've been watching your build's for ages and i absolutly love this!!! I've read both your old threads golf and s3, and top respect!
But defo think you should bin the armrest for weight saving and i'll have it :signLOL: oh and anything else going you should give me a heads up
Am on section 5 as well and i look forward to meeting ya again and seeing this in the flesh rather than flying past between nunthorpe and guisbrough :signLOL:
What brakes have you gone/going with?
What brakes have you gone/going with?
VWR 6 pots.. :happy2: Should have them pretty soon hopefully, will be a huge weight saving and should work great too!
here Jonnyc, I have a great idea for saving some weight again!:signLOL:
swap your heavy aluminium clad pedals for these light weight babies. :happy2: exact same only lighter by a few grams admitidly , but it all counts in the grander scheme of things :wink:

why not just pick your nose before you get in. :rolleye:
Seats and wheels are perfect for the car. Very interested in how the filter works out, you chose the right filter so thats a good start :signLOL:.
Are you venting air from the fog light grills ie m3 csl style? What sort of pipework will you be using?
oh yeah :happy2: theres gotta be 0.2 in dymags and cut slicks :driver: alone
superb job , when you weighing it again?
Sounds like a very nice setup jonny. Will be a very trick filter and should work extremely well. What you doing with the evoms?
Looking good jonny, quick question thats no ones asked, Have you received your build number plaque yet? :scared: and will it be a light weight version not to undo your great work? :wink:
This is REALLY starting to get hardcore now Jonny. Can't fault it :happy2:
....
Looking.....what's the word?....cunning?.....no.....Stunning!! That's the word.
They breathe quality and fit in very well, both physically and in style.
Mat & VC..I wouldn't think boot lid would make a MASSIVE difference any bud judging by how light they feel when closing etc (so much so they never shut properly first time :fighting:).. But I can't say I have ever held one when not attached to the car, so hard to say..
Yes, im replacing the rear 3 windows with 4mm thick tinted polycarbonate, this should take out around 35kg according to VWR. I could go with the 2mm option, but I think it would end up looking like cling film and being very loud etc..
There are loads of bits I still want to do, but just working away at them really, replacing the boot with a carbon item would be ideal as im sure it would save a BIG chunk of weight, then I could just stick the boot on with the poly screen in one go, the only problem is that you can only get the carbon boot from Seibon and even there own press shots show the panel gaps to be all over the place and the rear lights dont level up.. It looks sh*t, and its 90% fibre glass too.. :sad:

Just no one to play with usually.. :driver:
I may well take it on a circuit later this year at some point, say if a few of us are there etc..

Take you out for a quick spin too if you fancy..
looking good mate but there is no chance of getting it down to 1000kg unless u lose all the interior and add carbon fibre doors and plexi glass, it would be mad as fook if you did but 300kg is a lot to lose
Count me in for that track day, I'll keep note of how many times you go around me!!
Im glad youve said you dont want to completely strip out the car.
at the moment the car is an absolutely bonkers modded mk5 gti.
i think it would loose its road car roots if it was stripped completely. then its punching in the track car arena.

The next job was to get rid of some more weight, the following parts were to be removed..
* Air con pipes, compressor and rad
* Fog lights
* Headlight washer system
* Rear seatbelts
* Misc brackets
* One horn
* Front and rear arch liners
Removing the parts..
Air con system..

The air con removal is a big job, the system needs de gassing, removing then a shorter belt fitted as the compressor is not present..
Plus headlight washers and fogs..

I never use air con or fog lights, so its not a problem for me at all.. The headlight washers needed to come out anyways as they were broken from being iced up over the winter.. No point fitting another set! ha..
The car needed plugging in to get rid of the codes thrown by the fogs and the headlight washers being removed, not a big problem..
The car feels amazing, again weight is the enemy here and its really made a big difference having a further 53kg out of the car!!
The brakes are great and new suspension / set up, although pretty extreme for a road set up, and probably not to many peoples tastes either.. I love it! Its just what I want from the car..
The biggest shock however is the difference that removing the air con has made, the engine revs far quicker (due to the fact that its not driving the AC pump any more) and it feels as if the intercooler is working better, not really a surprise when you consider the AC rad sits directly in front of the OEM intercooler..
Anyways! Its awesome, im happy and the car is even quicker now!
Big thanks to all at VWR, can't say enough good stuff about those guys, mega work!
All of the heater has been kept in the car, that would be going a bit far lol..
Just no air con thats all..
Do it, its well worth it.. But if you do it your kind of limiting who would want to buy the car, thats the only potential trouble..
wow!!! is your car running nearly 370 bhp!! must be to get 300bhp per tonne!! nice one, that thing will be awsome on track mate!! :happy2:Needs to go on a set of dyno dynamics rollers to find out .

The plan is to get it at a track day some time soon and see what it can do.. Ideally I want to compare the time to a BTCC car, I think the car is capable of being faster round a lap whilst still being fully road legal, that would be pretty cool! :laugh:
you must be tempted with the laughing gas surely jonny.....or maybe a bit of Water/Methanol Injection perhaps. :happy2:
hehe now you're talking.
i'm thinking GT30/35 will be in your plans. but there ain't THAT much room in the engine bay.
7500rpm? How you planning to raise the rev limiter to that level?
no idea what the rev limit of the ED30 is, but can you ping 7k rpm at the mo?
You'll need to get a proper Intake Mani made up too I reckon. wow this is gonna cost a lot of ££££'s.
We're all rooting for ya jonny! :jumping:
Mine has been revving up to 7700rpm for the last 5 months :wink:
Plan is a GT30 based housing, billet compressor wheel, anti-surge inlet, metal bearing cages, WRC bearings, 76mm exhaust wheel, ceramic coated etc etc..

Sounds like you've been researching and planning for quite some time. Who are you gonna ask to MAP the bugger? Also you gonna stick with the Bosch MED9 ECU or go aftermarket like MoTeC, and map in some anti-lag pops and bangs! :laugh:
Crazy guy...need to see your car in the flesh one day, just over Bradford area...if your ever out testing give me a shout, I can be a cameraman :happy2:
7700 rpm :surprised: :drool:

There are already several software upgrades for the DSG out there :happy2:
Great work as usual Jonny. Loving your work.
Two questions though, if I may?
1) What's different/special about the TT suspension arms? And are they a direct swap?
2) Doesn't the DSG change up at specific RPM (even in M) therefore negating any raise in the rev limit - or am I missing something? Is this is a soft limiter that is just lifted with mapping?
Also, just found out that I should be at Le Mans 24hrs so will be cheering, albeit quietly, for you - I'm hopefully going with a mate from MAHLE in a 'mule' that needs some mileage put on it so will be hanging around the Audi's, but will keep a little AML flag in my pocket for you guys!
Cheers Jonny - and Hurdy. I did assumed you weren't running standard software, just wanted to check. Are you able to say what remap you have Jonny?
Hurdy - I take it that the GIAC upgrade has been rolled out across the UK dealer network then? There's no mention of International availability on the GIAC site and nothing on Regal's site either.
Thats some stirling work done there, that aircon rad must soak the 'cooler like hell.
Good progress - sub 11's FTW!

He'd have to beat this car then
it'll be tough keeping it as a road car with a GT30 on board i'd say. Will be a bit laggy, and power range will be moved up...but he'll love it when it comes on boost! should put a half cage in at that point IMO, safety reasons.

GT30 on this engine spools at 3500rpm.. So no different to K04, pretty amazing, but with good tuning it is possible..

His is an internally gated GT2871R.. GT3071R is external gate which really speeds up spool time, and as I say its all in the tuning..
Who would you go to for the gt3071r set up?
think the only people in the uk to have mapped one on OEM ECU is MRC Tuning. Think they got 400bhp, on std internals still i believe.
Revo I think can do a BT custom file tho, as a couple of mad nutters on VWVortex have done.
You'll need to get a nice equal length Exhuast Manifold made up tho. :happy2:
Can't wait to see the plan get into full swing!
So on a tfsi (Cupra) with HPFP, dbilas, 3" d.p, 2.75" non res system, biiig apr cooler, apr stage 2+ what else would be needed?
(assuming possibly new inlet, injectors, mani, turbo, clutch) are there considerations i should think about and what sort of cost?
Many thanks
Looking decent, the seats i particuarly like!
Ok, say for example I woke up on Saturday and decided, I know, I want to replicate everything Johnny's done to his car, but do it to mine. I say replicate, I mean do very similar stuff to have a Diamond black nightrider esc mk5.
Aside from not knowing practically anything about it and hiring you to do most of the work for me haha, roughly how much would I need to raid my ISA for to bring my GTI up to this standard? I understand you may not have finished with it, and I don't need an exact figure, just roughly! :smiley:
interesting! i might wait a few weeks then till i begin! :laugh:
if you don't mind me asking:
1. what other big things are you planning to push the costs up so much?!
2. how on earth do you think of things that can be done? some of the things you have done, including having custom things made, i wouldn't have thought possible!
3. why are you going to such lengths with the car? i mean is it that you will never sell it? surely it would be both a struggle to sell and if you did, a massive financial loss?!

2. I have a good imagination :laugh: Na, seriously I just want to have the best stuff on the car possible, so
3. I love it too much, the plan is certainly to keep this car for a while now. I have gone beyond the point of no return with it a long time ago.. Saying that, the car is for sale at the right price :smiley:

surely if you add many more HP all you'll get is wheelspin magee? even with the best intentions!?
I'd just like to thank Jonny for inviting me over to see his car and take me out in it.
You have got to believe me when I say this car is fast, I mean FAST, far faster than you'd think possible in fact, in a straight line or round a bend it's simply RAPID!!! :driver:
Thumbs up to you mate and thanks again for today! I'll email you about the brakes and photo shoot!... :happy2:

You lucky bugger J5 BWS! Im not jealous at all :P :P
Right am next :signLOL:
And i think pirelli p should get to read your s3 thread (i'd like to read it again too :wink:) and then he might understand even more what your like with your cars :jumping:
oh and not meaning to go off topic but i was out with my mate tonight who has the red astra vxr you were having a little fun with the other night! :driver:
yeah he's got milltex system and a map etc
Jonny, I'd love to meet up with you one day so that you can educate me about suspension modifications!!! All this talk about caster/camber/arms/top mounts/bushes etc etc makes me want to do it all to mine! :happy2:
Jonny,
surely the extra width of the bigger tyre will be wasted as you're running a ridiculous amount of front static camber?
So the contact patch won't be a full 260mm at all, more like 200mm perhaps!
And not sure how many runs your tyres will last if you're doing 1/4 mile sprints with that amount of camber.
Just a thought.
just trying to relate back to us mere mortals you see JC...not sure how many road cars out there run over 2 degrees of negative camber you see! :signLOL:
but from a basic understanding of how a -2 degree camber'd wheel vs say -0.5 would look, I can only imagine the inside half of the tyre will take the most of the weight, and the outer not doing a lot.
That's why negative camber works a treat in the corners, as all the weight pushing over to that wheel makes the wheel straighten up hence given u 100% contact patch usage of your tyre.
Put you as a racing driver would know all that anyway.
Looking forward to how it goes at GTI. I've booked up 3 runs on the saturday...hope i'm not up against you on any of them :grin:
Think i'll be popping down to Inters on the sunday JC to have a butchers and cheer on the Mk5 lads.. As for the strip, you'll have the Mk5 Golf section well and truely in the bag, but depending on what turns up for the FWD crown that's another battle all together (Jabba's Mk2 Golf will take some beating :scared:)..
Looking forward to seeing the new additions though bud as she seems to be coming along nicely..
Oh and them rims.. :drool:
Re. the wide tyres, won't there be a drag issue caused by the amount of rubber that's in contact with the tarmac?
Out of interest where abouts did you get the r1r's from? because I can't find a living sole that sells them?
Luke

Mate I should think you'll have the 2.0 TFSI honours well and truely in the bag. Unless Big Andy is attending/running and has made some changes/more mods and also got another driver? :grin: As that car will always have the traction advantage, if launched right and Brunters surface isn't the best as mine suffered last year.

As for the big boys in the FWD class, you're right, they aint exactly 'Road Trim'..
Well Regal never seem to perform when it comes to it IMO and their/your white Golf seems to be no quicker than mine was (unless there is any new mods since the other month) and yours is in another leaugue to what mine is/was..
I just think unless there is a big powered S3 their (like 450+bhp) with a good driver, you'll take it. As even though you will have it on the roll, it just depends on how far ahead the S3 gets away from you off the line and whether there is enough time to catch it.. :scared:

Yeah I know mate, but FWD vs 4WD on a gravelly type surface is only going to produce one winner when getting off the mark (1st gear) is concerned..

doesn't matter about catching it or not. Time doesn't start until u trip the starting beam. so you should just make sure you have the right revs to launch it at the right time, not when they change from red light to green light.
I think someone will need a jet engine sticking out of the back of their GTI to beat Jonny :signLOL:

Loving the sound of the update mate-looking forward to it!!!!
oh and may be we should organise a little convoy down to gti international as am going to go down on the sunday

Apologies on the tyre warming up quote.. What I meeant was they don't have a warm up area as such as it's a tight turn into the start area and you're on the start line pretty much.. I would imagine you can do a burnout on the actual strip and reverse back like John says. But there isn't the nice burn out area with the water puddle like there is at Pod..
Re Ti exhaust system...isn't RR going for something like that??
I knew you wouldn't be able to resist the Alleggerita's Jonny :laugh:Brakes at a guess John.. Jonny's probably got some 400 pot, 400mm, alcon, ceramic, QE2 stoppers going on it soon knowing him.. :grin:

you need to do a spec list!
Are the springs on for the KWs yet? If not are they for sale? Made for variant 3's?
Depending on how the sale of the car goes ill continue the build thread here..

Nice choice Jonny! I wonder how many people will assume the car is all show and no go? PMSL
So is the E30 staying?
have you photoshopped that?
The next area to look at is the suspension itself, im going to be fitting a set of lightweight KW Race anti-roll bars, these are 3 way adjustable and should help control the rate of roll, just something that is nice to have, also should save me a couple of KG's which helps!
Ill be replacing the front bottom arms with OEM TT items, these are not only lighter (aluminium rather than steel) but they also offer an additional 0.5 degrees negative camber for the front end, so I should be able to run around 2.7 degrees front static camber and keep all of the caster I have too, looking forward to these!

Apparently he has 440bhp now and a few other tricks. Still fancy yours doing him though, don't let me down.. :grin:

feck me they are 19's ! car looks stunning , love the bonnet back to white , very stealth OEM+ :evilgrin:
i take it grip issues are going from 18in semi slicks to 19in road tyres ?
any plans to weigh it again / corner weight setup with these recent changes, or have you done that ?
How heavy are these wheels compared to the TD's mate? Or are these just for show and other rims for track/strip action?

Just managed to get a bit more weight out of it too!
Im intrigued, please do tell :confused:
Im intrigued, please do tell :confused:
Im really keen to get the boot and rear windows done soon as possible as the weight is unbelievable in the stock parts.. Plan is carbon boot with polycarbonate rear 3 windows, that lot should save about 40kg!!

Holy sh*t, I didn't know they weighed that much :surprised: That should help then :happy2:

The boot and window complete weighs about 40kg! Crazy.. Just a shame that im going to have to sort out the carbon boot myself as no one actually makes a 'carbon' boot.. Plenty of poorly fitting fibre glass items on the market though..
Im hoping to get another 10kg or so out of the car today.. No idea where from, but there must be something left that I can put in the big box in the garage! haha..

Thought about poly carb rear windows a few times but cant help thinking it wouldnt look as high quality / oem
Perhaps put a remote control Kit inside it jonny, sit on the side of the quarter mile with your hand controls and sorted, theres more weight saving right there :wink: :laugh:Im intrigued, please do tell :confused:

The kit im looking at looks fantastic.. If you look after them well then they look like glass
You can get them through VW Racing.. Im going to have a kit made once I sort out the carbon boot.. Makes sense doing it all at the same time..
insane forward rake and race fuel??? :party:
sh*t or bust Jonny, gallon of tolurine and the timing as far advanced as you can get it FTW.
Seriously though - the traction is gash, the timing gear is questionable, its slightly uphill and you've the risk of some MK2 thowing its guts at you... it's for funsies only!
....
It's strange, but having read so much about how this car has evolved, it feels as if I know it very well and I do hope it finds a more appreciative owner than your S3 did before it came back to you.
I love those red wheels and it even had me thinking for a moment about my new OZ Alleggerita's in red!
Somewhere in this 73-page thread there's detail about the duct thingy in your foglight panel. What are those called, Jonny please, so I can find one - I'm talking about the circular finisher which tidies up a round duct hole in a body panel - Hope you know what I'm trying to describe.
:happy2:
Your more likely to sell it Msportsman as standard as you can get it. Some people are put off by highly moddified and taking a Risk on parting with 18k where theres a risk of it going Bang.
Im very surprised yours hasnt had more interest tbh.
The Build number alone would appeal to a Fan of the GTi.
Sorry Jonny..... for going Off topic :notworthy:
[/quote
I agree.
Johnny maybe happy to wait for the right buyer.
I've had no viewings but to sell it as standard I need to put it on Autotrader and drop it to 15-16k
Main dealers are asking ridiculous prices........the bits should sell elsewhere on other VAG forums hopefully.
I'm resigned to the fact on the run up to Xmas I may have to hold off until the New Year.
Still I am enjoying the car 'when' I get to drive it...got keep the miles off tpo get the max I can on the sale. :sad1:

....A makeshift drag strip isn't a NHRA approved one like Santa Pod is. Or rather it's the timing gear used which is so critical and must be approved as I understand it.
Worth hanging on for a buyer I reckon - Very special car and you couldn't ask for a better maintained one either. The person who eventually buys it should be over the moon. It's just a matter of Jonny accepting a loss on the cost of his mods, but every one of use loses money when we sell any car. So what? We enjoyed it - It's the price we pay for our joy.
It does seem that a lot of 1/4 mile tracks abroad seem to run quicker than UK with equivlent cars. But there is so much to take into account (ie air temps, surface, altitude etc), so always a bloody mine field really.
Shows what a difference slicks make though Johnny. That APR Stage 3 GTI runs the same terminal speed as yours, but over 1/2 second quicker.. :surprised:

Which confirms the APR Stage 3 kit, even with the optional race fuel map and built motor in the real world would be no quicker than a Revo Stage 2+ K04.. Hmm..
Anyways im going to stop there before I get a beat down from the APR fan club :happy2: :happy2:

Did Keith ever post the reply he said he was going to?
New turbo = Gunning for APR??
Cant wait for the updates, is it going to be the same turbs as the S3?
:star:
so your going to be runnig both the S3 and the Ed30 now then??? which will be quicker when finsished do you think
I'm in for this one....very interested in seeing the post whereby APR defend themselves against a low 10 second car :jumping:
Anyways John I have a PLAN! Need to speak to you about it.. Think it may be of interest to you :wink:
wow that is one BIG spec.... i look forward to seeing the build of this car. might be a silly question but what is the reason for going for one turbo then changing it later on ?
Whoa! That's a lot of work there Jonny. I have to say you are an absolute nut job, a lightweight BT S3 and super lightweigth BT ED30 :laugh: That my friend is dedication to the cause :congrats:
Sounding like your getting a taste for the ED30 again.
Love the fact you are carrying on with the project.
Gotta be a 10 second FWD DSG 8)
That's some list.
cough boot floor cut out cough..
I have to say you are an absolute nut job,
I love it.
Nice work Jonny.
Where are the wide arches/flares coming from?
Or will you get away with a lot of rolling?
it would ADD weight!!!!
Have you asked x5pea where he went for his steel arch extensions. A very good job was done there and it still looked OEM. I understand they cut off the original lip and welded in sections and then added the original strip back on. :smiley:

So Jonny, what are you up to today with the Eddie? :party:
I'd love to see the Bildon kit on a white ED30... :happy2: I'm sure a decent body shop could get the ED30 front splitter and rear diffuser to fit? All that carbon would surely save weight over adding metal with arch extensions?

I want the car to look as OEM from the outside as possible really.. Not into all the wide arches etc etc.. The front wings will be made from carbon and painted, and the rears will (hopefully) just be pulled, so it will be very subtle when finished.. And should loose weight in the process too..
Haha, hey Phil..
So yeah, get your RS sold then you can make the GTI a monster! It certainly already looks the part!!

I may or may not have a set of Recaro PPs line up - I feel I owe it to the car..... :wink:
Jonny, are using the Forge PCV kit as it would be normally? Just trying to follow it in the pics, does a bit go to the plastic manifold?
Getting the kit over christmas :smiley:

Yeah, you run a block off plate, and then the two lines recirculate through the can.. The inlet manifold is blocked off and kept separate from the crank case and associated oil and s*it..
Ahem - may be of use?

Looks good so far dude, one question though....What clutch pack upgrade are you going with as I thought that the jury was still out on the clutch packs?
Ahem - may be of use?

Looks good, but plenty of money.. Think ill be able to get enough on the stock arches actually.. Ill see once I get the wheels/tyres on the car..Looks good so far dude, one question though....What clutch pack upgrade are you going with as I thought that the jury was still out on the clutch packs?
Well thats a bit of a long term plan really, it really depends how the DSG copes with the power to be honest.. At the moment there is only the HPA upgrade which is $3600 but once some other companies start to develop kits that price has to come down.. Its high at the mo because there is zero competition!

Word, guessing as long as the map is wrote to bring the torque in over the rev range as appose to one big lump they should be alright... to a degree :signLOL:
Jonny, with the lower subframe mount did you fit an arm linkage thingy as looking at the other tuners ie VF and BSH they all change that part but vwracing obviously dont feel the need to do so.
Just wondering as im getting the solid Mount fitted tomorrow.
Edit - Know the answer now.
Ding Dong Merrily on High
Cant wait to see this strapped on, whats the potential output with the other mods you have planned mate?
well JC i hope ur DSG doesn't do this when u go for the first launch post GT30!
Drag Racer and exploding clutch! (http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=22c_1259873323)
I like.....a lot :jumping:
Have you ordered the HPA clutchpack?
At least you can order the stock clutch packs from VW easily enough :happy2:
I've been looking at the internals of the DSG box on my car and it does look pretty substantial. Fingers crossed it all goes back together okay.....for both of us :laugh:
Wow Jonny, this car is going to be phenominal! Looking forward to the outcome
u dont run a normal stage 2+ software do u jonny as yours is a custom revo map :smiley:
u dont run a normal stage 2+ software do u jonny as yours is a custom revo map :smiley:
I run more boost than the normal S2+ file yeah, but if anything that would just create more heat so the results are even more impressive if you look at it like that..
Thats it though, the knock control is all standard S2+..
sorry mate thats what i was trying to get at :smiley:
They look stunning, what are you wrapping them in? R888's?
They look great Jonny, what are they per corner - about 9.8kg? Where have you sourced them from as the only references I'm seeing to them that have pricing info are on EBay at £785.
straight line grip with R888s on a 255 wide ture not enough :surprised: :surprised:
Ahh, I saw them in the new Tweeks catalogue - very nice, I think the lack of text on the rim is an improvement.
I thought you'd found a set of these, Speedline Marmoras. Brandspankingnew!

Details are very sketchy, as it's a brand new wheel.
Turinis are roughly 400grammes lighter than a PR1.2 - so I'd expect all the Marmoras and PR1.3s in 18x8 guise to be in the same sub-9kg ballpark, which for any wheel is a decent figure TBH.
Ah - it was based on a comparison with Hurdy's and both with tyres on, which I guess must have been making the difference then. I suppose we forget that all tyres aren't the same either.
hey jonny i was thinking. before you had the fastest qtr mile mk5 dsg in uk etc etc.
now your going that step further, with the power and weight loss, how about another plan.
I now the meganne R26R has the record for fastest FWD factory car but what is the record around the fastest modded FWD car around the nurburgring. is it the same??
thinkabout it.......a lightweight, well setup big turbo'd mk5 GTI running huge roadlegal track tyres, controlled by a bloke who makes his living driving around such places.
surely that could be worth a shot, and withn reach??
do ya reckon you could take that title.
not that its a chall :driver:enge... :wink:
was that an offer for a forum instruction day, lol
fastest FWD @ the ring is what id want over fastest 1/4 mile
the meg time is full lap of 8 min 17, the bridge to gantry would be 30 sec faster so 7 min 50, dont know what the fastest modded fwd car around there is, but 7 min 50 for fwd would be very fast, never heard of anyone doing that in a hot hatch so would be very impresive.
how would you rate a tuned meganne R26R with all the supporting engine mods done, as well as suspension etc in comparison to the golf. the meganne has the superior chassis as a starter?
Standard for Standard the R26.R is miles ahead.. But comparing my friends tuned R26.R to mine etc really there is a bit switch, the Golf is way faster on every type of road..
I think the Golf has a great chassis, just needs the diff / brakes / suspension etc to get it really sorted..
Any more news on the schedule for the turbo being completed Jonny?
Now that is fast work :pomppomp:
Love the TD 1.3's. Glad to see that you're sticking with the Team Dynamics style wheels!
Has it arrived???
:driver:
That manifold is something else :drool:.
What are the brass fittings for on the intake pipework? I thought that there was only the D.V teed off on the Ed30's?
Looks something else though dude, should be completely bonkers :driver:
What is that?? All those bits look :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: I want :party:
The boost pipe thing :ashamed:
Lets hope is nothing like the turbo they fitted to the Evo 8 FQ400....laggy POS
Looks like a ncie bitta kit though, nice to see the results.
Just one thing i noticed, the inlet housing isn't ported, you'll be running into compressor surge no ?
Kudos to you for your build threads, i enjoy reading them and watching the cars evolve :drinking:
The FQ400 turbo is a GT3076R but the reason its laggy is all in the mapping, it was requested from Ralliart UK to help maintain the drivetrain etc.. Hence why it also had a stupid clutch in it.. Its running M800 as standard, trust me, I have been in one with an Owens sorted map on it and its a different car all together..
Jonny, are they doing the build in-situ or is this an engine out job?
jonny know a couple of guys who work for owen in our local vw club so posted em a ling to the thread so they can keep an eye on their handy work :happy2:
I still have to disagree, driven both the std FQ400 and a remapped one, the turbo was still a laggy POS compared to say the Evo Green unbit or the hybrid std unit i ran on mine (at the same power)
But we'll have to agree to disagree i guess, not the issue now
So how come no ported inlet but a flow difuser ?

How can you disagree? He's just been running this same turbo kit on his s3... If he says it wasn't laggy like the evo then it wasn't laggyy... :stupid:
The boost pipe thing :ashamed:
The long pipe which is coming off the wategate in those pics is whats known as a dump tube, or screamer pipe..
The wastegate modulates how much exhaust gas can get to the turbo housing, when it sees a specified boost setting on the vacuum from the N75 it will open (a specific amount based on throttle, revs, load etc) so you have exhaust gas, pre turbo, coming out of the pipe..
Most external gate set ups run the pipe back into the downpipe, so it just comes out of the exhaust tail pipes, on the S3, I ran it open dump to the ground, on the ED30 im running it out of the bonnet.. So yeah, a bit daft but good fun, and its going to be absolutely INSANELY loud too.. :laugh:
He's gonna cut a hole in the bonnet and vent it upwards (making it even louder i presume) rather than aiming it to ground under the car like on the S3.
It's akin to the days when R5GTT's got soo modded, one company decided to cut a hole in the bonnet and have the atmos DV sit outside in the open, just to be different and scare the bejesus out of OAPs everywhere.
How can you disagree? He's just been running this same turbo kit on his s3... If he says it wasn't laggy like the evo then it wasn't laggyy... :stupid:
I think he meant more in the context of the FQ400.. But its a different turbo, and a different engine, so really, there is always going to be a difference anyways..
Out of interest, can you post a picture of the flow difuser ?
How can you disagree? He's just been running this same turbo kit on his s3... If he says it wasn't laggy like the evo then it wasn't laggyy... :stupid:
Clearly your the :stupid: one, i'll make it clear for you :
FQ400 turbo unit = LAGGY imo
FQ400 turbo unit with better map - still laggy but better
Jonny's S3 = impressive (going on the video's and the fact it's not full mapped) or wasn't full mapped)
Jonny's ed30 = Should be good, better spec than the S3 setup and can build upon the previous experiance gained
Easier to understand ?I think he meant more in the context of the FQ400.. But its a different turbo, and a different engine, so really, there is always going to be a difference anyways..
Exactly, as you can read between the lines, i was refering to the actual turbo unit's spec
Wasn't being negative about your project.

Errrgh.. You just compared the ED30 to a R5GTT lol.. :sad1: Ill get my coat.. lol
Jonny - seriously? You're going to cut up your bonnet? :scared:
lol Was only trying to explain what u meant about dump tube thru bonnet! It'll certainly be a first jc, hope it comes out good. I would never compare a Gti to the R5GTT, that's just rude and plain wrong. Build is looking good tho. :happy2:

Ha, I know what you meant mate.. Yup, should be pretty mad.. Mocked it all up today and it will be possible!! :smiley: Going to have another dump tube made up so I can switch between them easily..
Were going to test it out the bonnet first (with the bonnet removed) first before we go cutting anything, just to check if its going to be sooo stupidly loud that I wont be able to get away with it..
Its a bit of fun, and like you say, its a bit different too :grin:
yeah good idea re making 2 versions...cos i'm not sure how road legal it is with a dump tube coming out of the bonnet lol.
err will it collect water should u drive it in the rain (if its gonna be pointing straight up into the heavens??)
then again it'll be soo hot that it'll vapourise anything....haha i can see it now, your ED30 will look like a steam engine :signLOL:

:grin:
does this mean you could fit the 'flat plate on a hinge' from lorries to it, thats flips open on dump :signLOL:
PMSL at snorkel excuse...
:grin:
I got stopped with the dump tube on the S3 just before it went.. They only heard it, but didn't see, presumed it was my car.. How dare they! :grin: They let me off coz they agreed it couldn't have been my car based on how it sounded when revving, it must have been a bike lol.. Phew!does this mean you could fit the 'flat plate on a hinge' from lorries to it, thats flips open on dump :signLOL:
Erm no!! lol.. Ok R5GTT.. Steam engine.. And now a bloody lorry!! haha..
haha this ED30....is gonna go down in history! Get it feature in MaxP mate? :happy2: :grin:

you see joony the S3 would have worked there
maybe, lol
Is it running the hta compresor wheel?
Is it running the hta compresor wheel?
Nope, standard Garrett.. But when the Garrett GTX-R billet wheel is made available in that size ill be changing, should see a nice little increase in response and flow..
http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/news/race_updates/GTX_R_Turbochargers.html
Only just started but the wheel should be available early neat year :smiley:

I may just hang on to my GT2871 for a bit now :innocent:
I thought that, i personally wouldn't use a fp product either and was almost certain owens wouldn't warrant a garrett turbo with a fp wheel.Good news from Garrett on there version of the hta wheel , little bit big at the moment but i would go for one for mine when they become available.
I don't think there is a massive amount owens could do to the gt2871r , could port/polish,uprate bearings and fit a larger compressor cover but none of that would increase flow much. The exhaust housing could be enlarged if your not already running the .82 version but with that strange adapter and being internally gate won't help much anyway.
Should be capable of a real 380ish which is more than enough.
nice one jonny , been trying to get some info on the rs4 injectors ,i don't really know why :laugh: but very little info on there capabilities suffice to say they must be at there limits with a gt3076.
I would be very interested to know your duty cycles when you get it mapped.
you may have posted this before but will you be going for the same map as on the S3. but without the running in period as the S3 was basically rebuilt from the bottom up?
is the Tial EWG port facing downwards at the mo?
must be a bit of bit of bugger to route the dump tube back round to the bonnet side! Or am I missing something....
looking good johny, you dont hang about, bet you get special rates at the garage you use as you must be keeping them in business !!! cant wait to see a video of it going !! top thread once again :happy2:

It will be frustrating trying to test it properly in this weather... I am stuck at the minute waiting for vw assistance, what tyres are you going to be using at this time of year, not r888's?? :scared:
Unfortunately not.. :wink: A current shape 1.2 Corsa .. Nice little car though :smiley:
Not standard surely? Or not for long!! :xmassmiley:
You must have been working Andy hard Jonny. Are you going to give him Xmas off :signLOL:
Any pics yet? (and I dont mean the Corsa....)
Sounds awesome mate, what intake are you running?
It doesn't matter what you do Jonny, you'll not tempt me to go for a big turbo.............................maybe :signLOL:
is the Tial EWG port facing downwards at the mo?
must be a bit of bit of bugger to route the dump tube back round to the bonnet side! Or am I missing something....
To start with the dump pipe will be routed down to the floor, to have the dump pipe out the bonnet is going to require quite a few changes, new intake, fabricate a new dump tube, modify the bonnet, re route some hoses for the heater etc.. Should only take a day but ill just get it up and running first, then do it..
[quote/]
:confused: dump tube out the bonnet? never seen that before.
Have you seen the mk2 TT that is running the work of art kit? Slightly different turbo though.
What kinda of bhp is he runing jonny?? :driver: Any links to that? :party:
WOW Jonny, I've finally got to the end of your thread :congrats: You really take your motors seriously. Turbo looks great! and that manifold :drool: :drool: :drool:
Gonna have to be something really special next, in order to top the S3 and the ED30. What about the New R20???
Did you get the Pro Race 1.3's yet. They look just great with the squarer spokes :notworthy: I wouldn't mind em myself.
Really great Read Jonny. Threads like this are great for the forum. :santa:

How much do the 1.3's weigh :ashamed:
Won't the R20 be pretty much identical to the S3 aswel? Twin turbo R8 is next :evilgrin:
how come you have always kept Vag jonny instead of going jap such as evos etc where there is a huge amount of kit available for huge power. is it as there are lots about already running massive power so not really a challenge?
Maybe it was that god awefull interior lol red and black leather nice :surprised:
what about the next level, twin engined mk5 or S3
Tartan seats is fine mate my family are from Scotland :grin:
Y not build a crazy golf r32 twin turbo over 700bhp should be crazy fast
Thanks mate.
I think i'll stick with the standard set up for now. I'll leave all the research and testing to you!!... :laugh:
:happy2:
JC...surely you'd just ring up Ricardo or someone and tell them to build u a Veyron spec DSG gear box :wink:
Yeah kind of used to that lol.. :wink:
....
Shaping up really well :notworthy:.
One thing I noticed is no heatshield between that beautifully sculptured manifold and the gold wrapped Twintake. Do you feel that the gold wrapping is sufficient in that area?
Best off leaving the 'testing' to the man in the know!!
Where are the updates man, x-mas is now over...!!!.. :xmaspresent:
Have I mentioned the R8 plans? Didn't think I had lol.. Anyways, yeah, good guess haha..

I would like to bet that you don't get 110 miles out of that amount of fuel though... :signLOL:
Do you know how much your turbo flows in kg/s at all? also any idea at what BHP the standard injectors should be swapped out for the rs4 ones?
Any updates on this yet Jonny, like some vid would be nice, or ate you still snow covered where you live??
Stop saying these things Jonny. I was just about over going big turbo until I saw this :laugh:
Can't wait to see it go down the pod :driver:

The K04 turbo has huge potential.. I think your 100% right the way your going about modifying the car, to extract all of the available performance before jumping to the conclusion that its not quick enough.. And going big turbo etc..
By the way, had a play with an MTM TT-RS on the way back from Newcastle today.. :grin: :grin: MTM Map and Exhaust.. Around 430hp apparently.. Errrm.. See yaaaaa!! Im confident even the K04 would have walked on it.. So glad I cancelled my order now :scared: His face was a picture.. :grin: :grin:
mtm rs with exhaust kick out 400hp. Think someones been inflating their figures!
The more aggressive sportec mapped RS kicks out 420 brake, and going by the independent figures I have for the sportec RS vs the Revo cupra, the sportec is the quicker car.
How are you finding traction. I struggle with 300 horses in this weather.
What would you recommend me to help with traction. I have DSG with eibach suspension at present.

Nah, seemed about what I had remembered that MTM quote..

Yeah, maybes quicker than a Cupra.. Not a DSG Golf though, we all know there a fair bit faster :wink:
So you missing 4wd with this weather at all?
So you missing 4wd with this weather at all?
Ha.. You make me laugh (again).. :congrats:
Obviously your getting yourself a TT-RS and don't like what I said.. :grin: It was hardly a snipe at you..
Now how does this new ignore button work.. :grin:
Just cant let some things go eh?
Why don't you make the first super light 4X4 Edition30? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Can it be done? if so how much weight extra would there be? I'm guessing quite alot, but could you possibly make the propshaft/ drivetrain bits out of lighter material? Surely R32 drivetrain parts could work?
It would probably be cheaper to buy the new Golf R and swap the turbo :laugh:
Loving this thread.
This car is a Masterpiece and credit to you jonny :congrats:
Just out of interest roughly how much have you spent on the car (ball park not exact) to get it to this from standard?
Oh and what you doing with the KO4 Turbo?
haha carls on the look out for a k04, lol
ive got dans from brisky on the way soon :happy2:
will get JKM to do it, but am also considering whether to stay mapped by shark performance, go REVp stage 3, or go APR
@jonny whattyres you planning on running at the pod in jan? will it be the big 255s or will you be on toyos
It would probably be cheaper to buy the new Golf R and swap the turbo :laugh:Yup, I do really quite like the MK6 actually.. I would rather drop a TFSI into a MK6 GTI though and go from there.. :smiley:
That 'Rocco R will be the way forward, not the Golf R, mark my words!
Love than manifold BTW, proper GT40 'basket of snakes' style!
haha carls on the look out for a k04, lol

Yeah but not for what you think I want the K04 for :P

2.0T FSI K04 Go-ped? :scared:
Nope a Skateboard :laugh:
No i have an idea which if it works I reckon will impress even you :wink:
Also I don't think K04 stage 3 software would be wise for a converted Octavia vRS
I'm thinking bent rods etc due to too much power. I have a Sachs clutch and flywheel in mine so I could handle the torque. But standard forget it. Plus I don't think the BWA internals would cope with K04 stage 3
Carl :happy2:
Hmm I did wonder if it was all hype.
That may have changed plans slightly then but will have to wait till after I get married.
I'd lose my bollox if I did it beforehand :rolleye:
What power/torque is the TiT running? And is it purely a K04 conversion (turbo injectors relocated dv and gaskets/seals) or has it had more done to it?
Carl :happy2:
350WHP would do me just fine as that about 400-420 at the flywheel :laugh:
Coupled with a diff brilliant
Carl :rolleye:
3071 will see that power running 1.60 ish bar boost.. Do it :happy2:
3071 will see that power running 1.60 ish bar boost.. Do it :happy2:
Nah.
My plan with K04 if it works will suffice. If not maxxed K04 conversion should do :P

Will it have all its toys for the 17th or are you going to tease us for a later date? :smiley:
If thats in the wet cant wait to see it in the dry, was did the s3 do to 100mph in the vid you posted?
The car sounds mental too :jumping: is that just from the turbo? as it sounds like a race car :signLOL:
Do you have a end goal for the ED30?
im not going to chase huge figures or run crazy boost.. Its really not worth it..

'sh*t thats quick' was my first reaction from the vid :congrats:
Sh&t the bed quick!
I'm a little lost with this large thread now, has it got the KO4 or BT? Read whileback you had cancelled the order ?
That is mental, it's only like half a second off matching a face-lift 997 Turbo to 100 in worse conditions..... :signLOL:
DSG doesn't seem to give a rats ass about the power which must be a reassuring thing?
Would you recommend putting one of these on a Golf R?
:smiley:
What even a 2.0TFSi in a Skoda vRS??
Carl :happy2:
I still think that the bottom end would fail to cope.
On a side note how easy do you think it would be to change a Manual vRS to a DSG or am i asking for to much trouble
I know anything is possible just wondering how easy a job it would be.
didn't MRC map a GT30 on a boggo GTI to 400bhp?
That's what Charlie was saying at SRR anyway (as Doug took the car their to have it mapped on the DD dyno)
so its possible...but not sure how long it would last on the OEM bits of the AXX / BWA motor.
Bit more chance with a ED30/S3 block with stronger bits.
But if you want to use a GT30, you really might as well have the bottom end built to make use of the turbo.
ps: JC that acceleration in 2nd / 3rd gear is f'ing mad lol. Is torque/boost limited in the lower gears at the mo?

Only one way to find out, but I seriously think you would be ok..
Yeah its possible, but really not cheap! :surprised:
Awesome Jonny, I cannot wait to see it go at The Pod :xmassmiley:
I think it would be cheaper than you think to swap the engine.
I was actually referring to doing what Jonny has done to a BWA engine. So same as what is in a K03 GTi
A complete S3 engine went recently for a shade under £2k (complete with Loom Turbo etc)
It would be a straight swap from a vRS to the S3 engine, reflash the ECU to take into account it's got a bigger turbo and hey presto
They lot could be done for around £3-3.5k then sell the BWA engine for around £1200-1400 so about £2.5k overall
A K04 conversion for me at my level of tune would be Approx £2600 (i only need the turbo, injectors and associated gaskets etc) so the engine swap would work out about the same
So in theory i could do what jonny has done but i just doubt that the BWA engine would cope at the bottom end. As i said earlier their must be some reason VAG strengthened it in the first place for the K04 versions.
Carl :happy2:
Awesome Jonny, I cannot wait to see it go at The Pod :xmassmiley:
:happy2: Are you still just running Stage 1 Tom? If so get it sorted!! :wink:
I am unfortunately and it's looking like it's gonna be that way for a while! :sad1:
It's looking like me and the misses are gonna be getting our first house this year so every spare penny is now going to the house fund instead of the car fund! :sick:

:grin: Come on, just a little DSG map?? She wont mind.. :happy2: haha..
Im sure that you would drop into the 12's at Pod with just a Stage 1 DSG and Engine map :)
Alternatively, drop in a set of rods into yours which would cost about a grand all in..
Then go and do whatever you want to it with confidence!.. :smiley:

I think i'd prefer it without the Water/Meth kit
360bhp sounds good to me on standard internals. I would say that was more than enough including the 350lb/ft and still holding over 300 from 3900 - 6800 RPM
That with a diff would make for one seriously quick car.
Carl :happy2:
Haha, yep.. Little bit larger than the K04, but drivability is amazing.. Seriously surprised me I have to say..That is mental, it's only like half a second off matching a face-lift 997 Turbo to 100 in worse conditions..... :signLOL:
DSG doesn't seem to give a rats ass about the power which must be a reassuring thing?
Oh its very quick, and from 60mph its amazing.. Not yet managed to use the power in 2nd gear but thats going to be pretty rapid firing through the gears..
Yeah, the DSG box is coping fine, takes it all in its stride, I think its a combination of obviously the Revo Stage 2 DSG map but also the progressive engine mapping and way that the boost on this turbo comes in so smoothly..
I feel that the gearbox is less stressed than with the K04 to be honest, its all a lot smoother than it was with Stage 2+ K04.. And faster too! I think you can probably tell but I couldn't be happier with it.. :smiley:
how are you adjusting all your settings, have you gone for the revo generic Gt30 map, then done logs yourself and adjusting via SPS, or is it REVO reccomended settings.
360bhp sounds good to me on standard internals. I would say that was more than enough including the 350lb/ft and still holding over 300 from 3900 - 6800 RPM
what is your final output prediction going to be Jonny? you going to put water meth in her or is it not required with your mods. you could make more power whilststaying on pump fuel then?
Possibly a keeper or sell it on once it's done? Also what are you expecting as a terminal speed on the 1/4?
360bhp sounds good to me on standard internals. I would say that was more than enough including the 350lb/ft and still holding over 300 from 3900 - 6800 RPM
Thats achievable with a bolt on OEM K04 conversion.. Or is that what you mean?? :ashamed:
Awesome Jonny, I am going to be having a good perve at The Pod :drool:
looking very good jonny :happy2:
interesting about the maf making a big difference - been having a few issues c5krpm with mine where the power stutters a bit
do you have the part number?
I know you said that you've changed the intake to make room for the external wastegate dump, so do you think that the new design will perform worse than the Twintake or just as well?
Did you run the bsh intake for a while on the s3 and whats your opinion on that one?
Like the vid, dsg is the really impressive thing for me. GT3076 is the best all round road turbo for a 2.0l so not suprised there.
Definetly a 11 second car . :happy2:
Ok, decided f*ck it and going the whole hog..

Nice, what make is that little haul ??
Very nice, is this for the other block you have? what sort of power increase do you think ull gain with the lot?
Are you adding the crank (pictured) also ?
haha are you serious jonny? good man :happy2:
Do you think it will be fast than the S3 (0-60, 1/4 mile, in the twisties)?
Keep us posted :wink:
sounds like it will be fast .
i had a knife-edged crank in my mk1 along with some cams and a lightened fly wheel , what a pig that was to keep idleing
jesus christ, you need to get yorself in a clinic with your spending lol.
If your going the full hog What about the head and cams.
BDM do a ported Cylinder head http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?p=2702124
scrick do some cams
then there wouldnt be anything left to put on her then........
Jonny in the below pic I know the top left is the washer bottle & the top right the PCV mod? but what is the one below & what does it do?
Thanks, does it just cover over the orginal? cant seem to find it on the forge site :stupid:
Yeah buddy!! looks sweet, what are the stoppers? 4 pots?
Luke.
what turbo are you going to be using ?
i hear mrc are using a gt30 and getting 450 on a afaik std e30 engine
wow thats all i can say !
for some reason i thought you were still running a ko4 on a equal manifold . i reckon you are best of building a kitchen engine ! . i.e build up a spare block and head and do a weekend swap .
cracking car tho mate
Thanks, does it just cover over the orginal? cant seem to find it on the forge site :stupid:
Yep, just a cover.. Not sure if there selling them yet?? I dont know..
Thanks, does it just cover over the orginal? cant seem to find it on the forge site :stupid:
So Jonny, You have moved the intake to the left? Have made another cold air feed from the left fog grill? or are you using 2 cold air feeds, one from each foglamp grill? would it be of any benefit to have 2 air feeds?
A few other guys on Audi sport had it and just told me to contact forge, great update!

I notice you have reflective gold taped in the hotspot area above the turbo.

I can understand the reasons for gold tape under a heat shield to improve temperatures on an air intake pipe (now done on mine), but why reflect heat back from the underside of the bonnet?
If it's being painted white (and I seem to recall it is) I'd have thought it'll help stop the paint from discolouring? CF it's self is fairly temperature resistant I think.

Jonny, are you only going to attempt a fast time the once then?
....Sorry, mate, you lost me there. What's being painted white? - Isn't it only the exterior of the carbon bonnet which may get painted? I guess you mean that the carbon bonnet will get a hot spot effecting the paint above. Mine doesn't but Jonny's turbo will probably run hotter than mine, plus my carbon bonnet has an extract vent.
Yes, CF itself has excellent heat resistance properties.

Do you know how much your turbo flows in kg/s at all?
All comig together rather nicely!
Out of intterest what are the performance figures of your track Aston, and how does it feel compared to the Edition 30??
Interesting read that mate and just shows you the difference between a fast car and a really FAST car.. :notworthy:All comig together rather nicely!
Out of intterest what are the performance figures of your track Aston, and how does it feel compared to the Edition 30??
Cheers mate.. :smiley:
I get asked this quite a bit and really to be honest, you simply can't compare.. No matter how fast a road car your talking about..
The Vantage GT2 was 1100kg / 500hp with downforce and proper geometry etc.. Its a proper racing car, and comparing ANY road car to even a GT2 spec car is pointless really, there is simply no comparison in terms of performance..
We made the step up to LMP1 using the Lola Coupe with a Judd V10 for the last 3 rounds of 2009 and that car is simply astonishingly fast.. 900kg / 750hp with full downforce (more than modern F1 cars) its just incredible..
The only way to kind of put it into context really is to talk of lap times.. For instance..
The current fastest lap round the Top gear track for a road car is a 1:17.1 from the Gumpert Apollo..
When AMR took the GT1 DBR9 to the Top Gear track it did a 1:08.6 (and was running with problems on the day)
Around an average lap an LMP1 car is around 10 seconds faster than a GT1 car (depending on the length of the lap).. So it would be comfortably in the 50 second range.. So yeah, quick! haha.. :laugh:
Ohh and Just for fun thought I would make a little movie to give an idea of the noise this thing makes now on boost! :wink:
Sounds awful doesn't it? :laugh:

:notworthy:
Couldn't agree more.. Certainly a nicer look!
Nice update mate, keep the updates coming. Is everything still on for the pod? might come down from yorkshire to watch it go :jumping:

Things have been delayed recently due to scum bags breaking into the garage..
did they take much ?? :sad1: or do you think they were after the car? cant beleive some people!!! but wow those wheels look wide. very smart jonny :innocent:
Never mind p!ssing around with the interior! get that intake sorted :P :P
are you going to go into the realms of replacing the rear windows with some lightweight acrylic, must be a lot of weight to lose there, the car is 3 door as well so the rear quarters could be done as well
Wheels look really good, is there much more weight saving over the turinis? still going to get them for mine but leave them silver
Bad workman Bad tools springs to mind :signLOL:
Just kidding :)
I would take solace in the fact you have a Golf that has a higher terminal speed than a Nissan GT-R
Decent track etc then maybe you will achieve your goal.
If you want some lessons in how to drive in the wet though just give me a shout :evilgrin:
Carl :happy2:
was it that bad down there ?
:sad1: give it a few months for it to heat up a little and then a trip down to york and see how it goes there save the long trip down to pod

Yup, thats the plan :smiley: Should have built motor and the car basically done by then too.. If its still in the 12's then its either being sold or dropped off the edge of a cliff depending on how im feeling.. :wink:
well done jc...still an achievement to run in the 12s...i am sure you gonna run a low 11s soon...
i thought you had already done the MAF. also what is MAP, ive seen this mentioned a few times when it comes to water meth controlment signals etc
If all is good..u get the full beans. If its bit off..u get limp mode! :grin:
Ill get a proper update up on Tuesday but heres a little teaser.. :laugh:

And yes, big flames every time it either hits traction control or changes gear.. :grin:
Titanium Jonny?
Is that legal?
Titanium Jonny?
Just stainless mate..Is that legal?
'Providing the exhaust exits behind the line of the front set of wheels and not on the pavement side there is no offence' was the response I got from a Police Traffic officer friend of mine..
Lets hope no one is sad enough to complain about it though hey.. :smiley:
Totally, was just thinking that peds ,may not like a free singeing...................
Talking of that, I have seen Ricers with exhausts that exit in front of the offside front wheel.
screamer pipe . liking that , you will have to post up a clip
re the legality.....
some Time Attack "road legal" cars have exhausts exiting forward of the front wheel on passenger side...
you're more likely to brech the "noise" limit when at full boost i'd say. still if they can catch u when its screaming at full boost and take a noise reading then fair play to that copper :wink: :signLOL:
Hahahaha, and then you would probably be in deep water :smiley:re the legality.....

Looking great Jonny.
Just one question, what if it rains - whats to prevent water going down the tube, and what potential damage could it do - None I presume or it would be wearing a hat!?!
Great work Jonny :congrats:. I,m coming over to ACR tomorrow - you around !

Yeah im free that weekend, hoping to get down for a run! Should have lots more done to the car before then too.. Woooo!
Am there at york if your off, wana see/hear this go :evilgrin:
Great update again what is next for the beast?
Jonny,
What is the reason behind the upward Wastegate vent, rather than a vent below the car? Interested in the reasons behind, does it assist the wastegate/ lessen the back pressure on the turbine, thereby reducing the load on the rotor?
:happy2:
Jonny ,
Slap aJonnyRibbed Tickler on it. For the first few vents it will be ace! F'in great Nodder on the bonnet!
:grin:

Nice work jonny and that engine bay really looks smart now :happy2:
one question where did you get the pipe that runs from the forge dv to intake, stock is flimsy compared to yours
also if it makes it any cheaper I am after some aluminium intercooler pipes to connect twintercooler with stock I/C not 100% happy with the fit of the forge hoses let us know if there is any chance of a mini group buy
Thanks

Looking great, Jonny but just a small point: IIRC you were thinking of painting your bonnet white but the trouble is that it will then highlight the black hole, whereas while your bonnet is black carbon the hole is much less obvious.
You may have already considered this of course and perhaps it all looks different in real life.
Looks mint in the pics looking forward to seein more progress, what sort of cars have you come up against which have been rather red faced after? :signLOL:
I would love to go as I'm sure the car could run some great times but I'm away for my
first race that weekend..
Why the sudden sale JC?
Why the sudden sale JC?
I now have a Corsa as a daily and with being away so much this year its the sensible decision :smiley:

What's going on mate, surely you can't sell before you try for some times?
:scared: :sad1:

I second that! We need some proper 1/4 mile times before you sell up man.

Your more than welcome to buy it then try it out for yourself?? :wink:
Yes, I have a 1.4 Corsa SXI that ill be using as a daily until I decide what im doing..
why would i want to buy a slower car :P :grin:
I was genuinely interested,there must be a reason why your selling up?
Your more than welcome to buy it then try it out for yourself?? :wink:
Still gobsmacked, with the ammount youve spent and not even finished it before off loading it.
Good luck with the sale and trying to get what you want for it jonny.
Hey, Jonny :happy2:
Sounds like you've just got yourself a nice contract for your 2010 racing season - The very best of everything is what I say :drinking:
Have Fun but Safe Journeys but I'm sure we'll still hear from you from time to time. If you can post any links here to how you're racing is going we'd enjoy it.
He must be a lottery winner Phil or in the top 10% of earners!

does that mean you have a nice stack dash for sale :drool: , cant see the car hanging around long at that price , im the same as you johny , spend loads of money on cars and then sell them, as long as you enjoy doing it thats all that matters , which obviously you do, good luck with the sale .... if i had 21k spare i would of had it :happy2:
Sorry if ive missed it Jonny, but why has it not been on the rollers? I thought that would be the first thing you would of done.
Are you still selling it/managed to sell it?

Not really bothered by figures to be honest mate, they only end up being speculative in the end anyways.. And most look at only the peaks and not the area under the curve..
Im quite satisfied with how fast it is, and thats what its all about after all..
The Revo stage 4, was it a custom map tuned to your car, being the first of its kind(?). Was it tuned :popcornsoda: on the rollers? I am interested to compare the spool times and curve etc, if you have any details.
I wonder if Jonny's dsg clutch pack was showing any signs of needing a beef'd up version with all that torque??
Where are you based Jonny?

I've heard off DSG clutch pack issues from 2 tuners with car's running big power.
1200USD seems more than reasonable but I assume there's labour to consider on top.
With that amount of power running through the drivetrain and the extra stress a diff brings to the clutch assembly for peace of mind I'd like to see an uprated clutch in there. You just never know when they will give up!

doubt it he's already sold his car i think! And wasn't it a manual anyway? (not that i care really!)
as far as i know his ed 30 was/is DSG
Mine was manual car but if were me buying I'd like to see an uprated clutch pack with those figures Johnny which are very healthy.
Have you any serious offers yet? Modded cars can take a while to shift as I found out previously.
Good job its Jonnys car to sell then :happy2:
Usually its easer to sell a car the more "one off" it is (as long as its not barry boys one off) so im not really surprised its gone pretty quick!, my Audi A3 i used to have had 4 people waiting for me to sell it.... then when i said i wanted to sell it, it was sold within 4 days!

My old Suprrcharged Civic sold the day I put it up for sale, The S3 (the first time round) went up on the Thursday and left the Sunday.. The second time round it was never up for sale, I was offered money from 4 different people just based on the build thread.. And the Golf I had 3 offers within a couple of hours of it being up for sale.. Either I'm lucky or like you say if you do it right then it's easy..
Either way I'm really happy with the new owner, he seems a great guy and fully appriciates the work that has gone into the car! I know it sounds daft but after putting so much effort into something I want to feel like it will be looked after to the level of which it deserves..
did vick buy your car?
guy with corrado
Yea like you say, the build thread speaks for itself... people can see that corners haven't been cut! :smiley:
If its the person that i think has got it, it has gone into good hands.... good to hear hes going to carry on the development too... :wink:

....Doesn't sound daft to me (but some will say I'm daft anyway). Although a car is just a machine, when you have put effort into customising/modding it and you are very pleased with what those mods add to the joy of driving that car, it develops an individual personality. You look after it and it looks after you. You feel 'at one' with it. It's almost spiritual.
did vick buy your car?no , he brought my old one !! :happy2:
guy with corrado
Pics of the new car? :laugh:
Goddammit!!!
I spent the last four hours (insomnia) reading this thread start to finish only to find jonnyc's sold the car!!! :fighting2: It's like boning the girl of your dreams but not getting a 'crisis'!
Anyway this thread has been an immense journey. Started off quick paced but steady until around page 70-something, after which it just went exponential! Would have been great to have seen some figures, some video and even see it in real life. A one-of-a-kind car.
What are you getting next and where's the build thread?
PS what was the insurance like on the car?
Good Job at Sebring Jonny. Watched it on Motors TV. Thought it was as funny as fcuk when the interviewer called you Joe Cocker :signLOL:
i was at santa pod on sunday Jonny - as I was leaving your ed30 pulled up

congrats on the sale :happy2:
