Looking forward to the developments on this! Good to see some tasty mk6s coming through.
Are you planning on using WMI on the R?
Maybe WMI & NOS :drool:
I will be happy with a real 400bhp.
Twin LO4XX..... :signLOL:
Love your build threads john,look forward to this one :notworthy:

Only 400bhp. I can't believe you will stop there John. :wink:
wicked, i think anyone on here who aspires to own a Golf R next will be most interested in your heroic exploits in this thread! We salute you... :congrats:

Don't forget to change your forum sig, John :happy2:
Don't be disappointed about having a sunroof - Tipping up the back is great for ventilation and exhaust sound, as is running with a back seat down except when needed. If the weight really bothered you you could always replace it with a fixed plexiglass(?) or tinted perspex panel.
Love it John, great colour choice too! :congrats:

Think my next car will be a Mk6 so I'm keen to see what mods work/transfer over. :popcornsoda:
New car looks great and I thought I'd find you on here too :happy2:
New.build thread on page 2 and hasn't got the car yet :signLOL:
Car looks ace. Any particular wheels in mind for going 18"? 1.3s?
Why not an r32 then go down turbo route more power and nicer noise
Car & plans look great. Deffo needs an exhaust asap though - standard really does look small.
It's good to see you return to a TFSI and I look forward to watching the progression on this :happy2:

Most cosmetic mods would swap over. Depending on the engine you choose would depend what would swap over - the ED35 uses the same engine and so most parts would swap over as would most of the suspension parts (not coilovers though)
Awesome buy. Would love to see this when finished. Could you please arrange TEFF to come over and have a head to head on the strip? :driver:
What's making you choose the milltek over say a scorpion, APR or BCS?
Direct port WMI won't be seen by the ecu, so you will have to tune for it, but if it fails there's greater risk!?
John....keep the 19s we need to have a little pow wow....
The kit for Steve Junior......sooooooooohhhhh 2012.
I've brought enough for all.

Hi John,
What sort off prices have you been quoted for a full miltek with Titanium tips . Any deals around ?
I understand so I dont get some ECU light I will also need a Map ,who are you using for the map on your R or will it be a custom map .
Sorry to use your build thread to ask questions but hopefully its relevant .
TIA
Car looks great but swapping the 19'' alloys for 18''. :scared:.One of the best things about the R are those 19'' alloys in my book. :smiley:
STUNNING JOHN :drool: :drool: :drool:
Is that really Steel Grey??? Those photos make the paint look almost Reflex Silver. :ashamed:
Is yours like this John?….

Don't get milltek, the APR demo car had that system, sound doesn't do the car justice :scared:
Looks lovely John, great colour choice too! Makes a change from either white or that blue graphite pearl!
Having seen your previous cars you've obviously got the 'nack' for modifying cars. Your ED30 and Polo were superb, and you really seem to strive to be different when you modify them and not just go with the 'usual' modifications. That being said, I can't help but be a bit disappointed that you've bought a Golf R.
I look forward to the day when you try your hand at something different to either a Golf or a Polo/VW hatchback of sorts as I think you could add a whole world of creativity and individuality to a different platform. Obviously I know that there are a lot more factors to consider, be it base price, costs to maintain and modify a particular car, potential vs cost etc - all factors that a Golf excels at to be fair, and I guess that's why you've gone for one again!
:smiley:

Ask markymark what he thinks of mark Kelsalls RoccoR system, it sounded amazing :evilgrin:
BCS ftw John :happy2: I'm sure after a look at a system and chat with Nige you'll be sold
Got to agree the miltek is pretty quiet on the 2tfsi, although its a good motorway cruiser for the little one kipping in the back, the best ive heard is the APR RSC although im not sure if they are available for the golf R, tbh im thinking of removing the miltek for the apr spitfire system !!
Are you going straight in or leaving it standard for a while ?
It will be standard when I collect it! :evilgrin:

For what it's worth, Milltek would be my first choice (they already have a Golf R you could check out) and BCS would be a close second choice.

JKM fitted a APR RSC system designed for a Golf GTI onto a 'Rocco R without any issues at all. Unless the 4wd of the Golf R restricts room in places, I dunno.

I fired an e-mail off to BCS this morning after I discovered they didn't list anything for the Golf .:R. :smiley:
The APR exhaust sounds great too. :drool:
I hope they can John as from what I have seen of Mikes on the AKS ramp, its new permanent home :signLOL:, its a lovely bit of kit and very good value.
The wife doesn't agree with the 'value' she said a new Kitchen would be good 'value' not an exhaust!

Thanks for the compliment Justin, Johns new project would be epic with one of these systems on :evilgrin:

Pov What exhaust is the APR, R running now because at Castle Coombe it sounded horrendous on WOT. :sick: you could hardly call it an engine note, just a wall of sound like slashing metal. :confused:
7 pages and you haven't taken delivery yet :grin: :congrats:
It sounds very OEM John.
Open the window, yes you can hear it.
But inside the car its perfect.
When was combe?

I am not sure John and I can't even tell you by logging as my car is MAFing at 200bhp as I have no Map at the moment and also have some issues which need resolving.
Feels like little or no Turbo I have some time this weekend so once I have sorted I'll put both on and update my thread.
The Exhaust and intake are the obvious mods that you can't do without.
Your car from what i gather is essentially going to be an alternate route for stage 3 and 3+ guys and its the smaller, more expensive modifications that are going to make all the difference i think.
You have the WMI which is good for a 10-15hp power gain (will you be mapping for it?), but will you be going down the APR cylinder head upgrades. Seems to have worked wonders on DanGBs and StevePs cars.
Steveps enclosed intake makes that ITG in h4ardy's post look tiny. If your going this route surely bigger is better?
Presume you will go decat again as well?
Whats your aims. guessing 450hp ish

Nige / BCS is a relative newcomer (but with Blueflame past experience) and active forumite - If not Milltek, I say give BCS the opportunity. They have had nothing but good reports so far.
Have you looked at TEFF's thread for inspiration or does 586bhp not appeal? :driver:
All this exhaust talk is making me feel like a kid in a sweet shop :party:I know your dirty little secret :jumpmove:
I have a couple ideas and leads now that are the leading potentials, but I'll keep them a surprise ....for now. :innocent:
What about intakes?
I know from previous experience that the Evoms makes good power, as do the ITG and Forge Twintake systems.
Anything new out there?
Cant wait to see her in the flesh john. I deffo wanna ride shotgun in that one. :happy2:

Black tips :happy2:
Can you supply black tips Nige? :notworthy:
Hey Monte
Yes - we get them ceramic coated to order, Justin H4rdy has requested his system with them satin black coated.
We use Camcoat to do the work, it's a varty durable and reliable finish - if you want the finish to last then like everything it costs :happy2:
Cheers

With this car I'm not going to go at it like a bull in a china shop and sling all the parts on in one go. I'll look over each part carefully and see how it works with other parts to give results. There is some stinking kit out there for this car and the engine. Now the good old US of A has got the .:R tuning and bling parts are coming in thick and fast. As you'd expect, the Americans make great bling and OSIR have some drool worthy parts ready to go. :drool:
There's a 2.5tfsi for sale for 9000 euros. I'd buy it but I'm poor now

Glad I put a deposit down on it when I did. Charlotte ( lovely 22 yr old ) the sales lady said that they could have sold it several time over with the large amount of enquiries they'd had for it. Right time at the right place, at the right money and a lovely spec. Hard to get nowadays.

U managed to find out her age during negotiations?? What else u find out about her ?? :signLOL:

The car feels solid and planted. It handles well, but is still a little vague compared to a full suspension set-up. The power delivery off the line is great, no fuss, no tyre squeal, just an urgent shove in the back to 60mph. Above 80mph it slows up, but a remap will give it extra oomph. Quality is better than the MKV by a decent margin, with nice touches in finish. The satnav is set up as annoying as the prior owner must have set it to avoid all motorways. The dynaudio system is excellent although it could do with a little more bass depth.
So far the verdict is "built by Germans, soon to be improved by a mad Englishman!". :grin:

How come REVO wont give you a DSG remap, What has Steve got on his ed30 or is his manual?
MRC are massive in the RS Audi tuning scene, so might be a pretty decent option. Cant say i've heard much of GIAC really, but from what i gather Steve@statllers has already switched to REVO from GIAC and made much more power.
.
I was at Wiscombe Hillclimb today and got chatting with a couple of competitors (brothers) who both have aftermarket supercharged V8 S5's, straight-through decat'd 3" titanium exhaust systems and MRC tuned. Oh, and both with flappy paddle gear boxes. Awesome sounds! I mention it because I had never heard of MRC before - They spoke very well of the remap.
You any closer to a decision. I thought you would have been a guaranteed REVO customer tbh
What about Jabbasport? they custom map so could be a good option. Pretty far south from you though.
Never mind the discussions where is the pics or have I missed them :grin:
Be money well spend JohnNever mind the discussions where is the pics or have I missed them :grin:
I've been at work and the car is horrendously dirty and has two centre caps missing due to having two new wheels and tyres before delivery. These should be with me on Monday.

Im amazed that REVO have not sorted out a DSG remap for the golf R by now. :mad: :mad:

Not so much a case for just the Golf R (there isn't tht many of them about) but surely the encryption will be applied to most future DSG cars so yeah Revo I'd say should be interested in doing something for this now :happy2:
Revo don't offer a dsg map for any of the s3 or R mechatronics.
Only real option is to send the mechatronics to hpa or hgp iirc just as teff has had to.
I don't see many people spending 399 plus vat on a dsg map which doesn't give as much advantage as an engine remap will.
Which extensions did you go for John?
Believe me I'd definitely be going Revo if they did both engine and DSG maps. I'd definitely be going APR if they did both engine and DSG maps. I'd definitely be going GIAC if they did both engine and DSG maps. all of these have shown good customer support in the past and all would be able to support a tune for a Loba LO4XX upgrade.
MRC, JBS ( Custom- Code ), AMD, and maybe a few others I'd be wary of for different reasons.
I'm APR stage 2+ and, I was gonna go down the Loba LO4XX Turbo but, the APR software isn't supported for it so if I did get it I'd have to change software! Unsure of what to do now!?

Its a really good day out if youve not been before. Even spectating, you can see the whole track from the viewing area.
I would advise bringing your license, and filling out a form and bringing it with you anyway with some admission money. If anyone pulls out, there might be a slot available.
I would also advise putting your name down in reserve. With 1 week to go, a few pull out if their cars arent ready.
Cheers Keith, that's great information right there. :happy2:
Hmm,
I may play the waiting game then if other DSG maps may be coming out soon. It would be good to get a map straight away, but I want to be sure first.
I'd love a go in the Apr Golf .:R for sure Keith and I'll be visiting various places very soon. I'm sure we will meet up at some point. 8)
Ive edited the reserve list on CGTI to include you John. If anyone pulls out im sure you will get a PM fired over.

Stop aiming for straight line speeds. It destroys everything about the car. :grin:
Set it up for the track and just use the damn thing!!!! :wink:
Those are amazing figures :notworthy:
Excuse my ignorance, and apart from the obvious differences such as vehicle weight, aerodynamics and anything else I've forgotten...
Wouldn't a S-Tronic Audi S3 produce the same figures?
I know you've stated that the DSG in the R is different the the Mk5 DSG, where does the S-Tronic fit in?
I think the front badge needs to be black yes or no? :confused:
I think the front badge needs to be black yes or no? :confused:
....That's a silly question, John! Of course it does. A black badge hints at the driver being an enthusiast (not that there won't be some much stronger 'hints' soon enough!).
I am reminded of Billy Connolly saying: "F*ck Off!! he hinted"
Never ever de-badge though! It's sacrilege on a VeeDub and says you're a chav. IMO.
You transferring your plate, John?

Already thinking about a colour change on the wheels to gloss black. :smiley:
The spec sheet for Wigit's car at the VW Festival Malvern stated Revo Stage 1 330bhp :surprised:
John, have you replied to the PM on CGTI? One of the spare places is yours if you want it.
Is this stage one? What settings are you running the map at? I'm stage 1 on the Ed35 and we had to play around with the setting to stop the lag after gear change. And like has been said its a later dsg in this car. Am I right in thinking there is something different with the engine too, when compared to the ED30- can run more boost??? Or something? Im sure Wigit said something about this.
Anybody looked into Ohlins for the Mk5/6. Thought they did a kit?
I know a man who knows a man who I think knows a man

Are you getting the wheels done black did I read? There is a grey .:R round my area and that has the gloss black Talladegas. Really does look :drool: I dare say a set of 18/19" TD 1.3's would look well too.. :wink:
Will have to give you a shout next time I'm over your way (there most weeks) and meet up.. :happy2:
Regarding the Evoms - Don't forget you had a Forge DV on the Eddie, which always helps with the acoustics. That and Stage 2+ boost.. :wink:
So she'll be S2+ next week then I take it? If that's the case and you are off I'll aim to pop over then.. We can go for a little tear up somewhere.. :driver: :signLOL:
What zorst have you gone for? Let me guess - Black tipped Milly non-res with decat? :wink:

Anyone else also fancy taking their car for a thrash this weekend?

How did you get on? Tricky little track isn't it.
Oh agreed, really shows you what light weight does when you see stripped MKIs with 150hp 3 seconds a lap (10% faster) than you. Nice to get a benchmark on it though.
Great place and event though I agree.

I think the quickest time was Andy DeFreitas' Audi 3.2 Rotrex'd V6 Quattro with sticky tyres and Bilsteins. Andy knows the circuit as well as me though, but he can make his car work it very well.
And today's exploits at the same place have resulted in the following. This was done with the addition of the Evoms intake, an almost empty fuel tank, no spare in the boot and most importantly using launch control and letting the gears change automatically (unlike the first outing where my brain was wired to skip most of first gear manually) and a relatively cool engine.

Do they post all the times up anywhere Luke? I've looked but cannot find anything. :sad1:
Ah sneaky I was 1.8 and 1.9 i think the DSG gear change must make the differance on the 30-50

great results Hurdy!
If you were to compare all mods you did so far to achieve that compared to your previous car is R cheaper to mod?? LOL
Just thinking about gains vs price ratio!
Paul
*starts thinking about removing stage2+ bits from edition and buying a Golf R!*
They are getting lower mate.. :happy2: Now stop cheating with the LC and get some 30-130 times done.. :signLOL:

Will be interesting to do a comparison when the .:R is S2+ (40mph + though :grin:). Which reminds me - when's the Milly making an appearance (and S2+ map)? I am possibly around your way tomorrow/Friday, so let me know if you're free?
Yeah, I will be free on Thursday and Friday, Just a pity I can't get it to stage 2+ by then, so it will feel tame apart from the launch compared to your 135 Ben.
but we all know that US, Greek, Turkish and South African horses are smaller than ours so they get alot more Hp for identical mods :grin:
From everything i have seen WMI gives 20-30hp gains, so that would still leave you way below 400hp unless your using a generous dyno that is :wink:

Wonder if they do DSG7 maps. which company was it
which parts from modded GTI can be bolt on to R if any?

Would like to see the results for a manual R as obviously this is with the help of electronics!
Paul
Two swift gear changes to get to sixty mph and no launch control in a manual would lose over a second, so a 5.0s possible, but I doubt many will get that.
Im hoping to get into the 4's next year. Hopefully the aid of w/m will help :evilgrin:Two swift gear changes to get to sixty mph and no launch control in a manual would lose over a second, so a 5.0s possible, but I doubt many will get that.
I had to rev past 7k rpm holding 2nd gear to get the 5.4 at Inters. And then I'm only 2WD.
So with 4WD in a mapped manual Golf R I think sub 5 is definitely possible

This thread has made me look at Golf R's for sale........you bugger.
And I told my wife the Ed35 was a keeper....
I just like the idea of a 0-60 in four seconds in a hatchback.
HGPs R has a R32/R36 twin turbo conversion doesn't it??

Not sure what they've done with their Mk6 .:R in truth?
They certainly did that with the MK5 .:R32.
I came across it earlier and wondered how it compares as I expect from a standing start there can't be that much between it and Hurdy's?

Any ETA from Milltek for the zorst John?
Can't wait to see what figures the car will run at Pod when full Revo Stage 2+ spec.. Be interesting to see how it will compare to the results produced by APR's Golf and whether or not there will be this gap in performance that everyone bangs on about.. :wink:
I'm sure you cant wait mate, seen a lovely white 3dr Golf R tonite ummmmm, how nice they are...325bhp on JKM's dyno (if it ever allowed 4WD!), 340bhp on all other dyno Dynamics rollers, 350-360bhp on Sun/Maha dyno's, 380+bhp at AMD! and if I ever went to Greece with their extra small ponies about 400bhp! :signLOL:
What kind of power do you hope to achive with Stage 2+?
:party:
Power isn't the point, it is performance on road/track/dragstrip that I will be looking at.
Initial targets are....
Sub 3.8 seconds to 60mph.
Sub 10 seconds to 100mph.
1/4 mile at an official raceway of under 12.6 seconds.
30-130mph at Marham in less than 16 seconds.
Top speed at Marham of over 150mph.
Nurburgring B to G time of 8'10" or under.

I reckon that BT setup would be better for everyday pootling about, and like Alex says, theres no such thing as lag, only the driver being in the incorrect gear

The revised Revo Stage 2+ went on today. Had the car on Statllers dyno and did 312bhp at stage 1 with the Evoms fitted and then 356bhp at stage 2+ with the Milltek and Autotech HPFP internals fitted.

It gives similar benefits as a fwd car. It will move the power to the wheel with the most grip before the electronics start shuffling power and cutting power by braking the wheels with least grip.
The best way to describe an atb diff on a 4wd is just to say the diff will pull the car harder around the corner with the back end pushing the car. Means even more cornering grip and a more balanced, less understeery feel.
Tbh I would always go for the peloquins atb diff in the high torque version. The quaife doesn't kick in as hard or fast. The quaife also doesn't come with new bearings which are 130 quid and not available through VW!
I had a little play in the Apr golf R last night. Had one shot at a launch and managed a 3.7 to 60, then 8 to 100. They still have a few things to fettle with, but that turbo setup spools faster than a k04. Plant the throttle and boost is there in an instant.

Apparently I have 40-50lbft missing from mine. :sad1: and still did the 9.9 to 100.

Missing how? What was your peak torque?
What does the map request John?

You mean the engine map through VCDS?

You mean the engine map through VCDS?
Yup. Should be a requested and actual load in NM I think. It's how you can guestimate your HP using VCDS.
320fltbs aint right. My stage one made ~310-315ftlbs at SRR a month or so ago.
Whats the k04 hump?
I would have thought logging it would showed this up.
I would have thought logging it would showed this up.
I don't see how logging would prove it. Actual and requested boost, etc within limits NFF.
Only way is a dyno printout. When you compare it with the S3 is that on the latest revision 2+ file?
So the gearbox says don't give me any more that 200NM. The engine then only requests 200NM and the car then makes 200NM.
It gives similar benefits as a fwd car. It will move the power to the wheel with the most grip before the electronics start shuffling power and cutting power by braking the wheels with least grip.
So in theory would that help you more in the corners or in straight line launches too John?
And is that front axle fitment then?
Of course not suggesting you need another Quaife but was curious how ATB diff could help a 4WD Haldex car. Unless you need to be chasing Jari Matti Latvala etc.
How come this wasnt found before when they loaded it? I would have thought logging it would showed this up.
I'm on about when the S2+ was loaded. If its being cut by the DSG would it not have shown up on the requested load, boost or timing logs when the map was uploaded?How come this wasnt found before when they loaded it? I would have thought logging it would showed this up.
When it was loaded I was stage 1, so it didn't really affect anything, just made the car a little perkier than it would have been.
An APR Stg2+ trial perhaps?

We all know what JBS stands for right?...
James' Bull sh*t! :happy2:
Sorry if I'm missing the point but does it not take only 10 minutes to raise the torque limit??.
It did when mine was done. (Custom tuner in Ireland).
Why won't they just do this for you.

This is exactly the point it can be done but they won't and are making excuses
Wrong really & just pushes more and more people away from using them

Another example of JBS's customer service... I've heard nothing but bad things about these guys, suprised anyone uses them tbh...
They will know all about it when somebody goes outside one day :fighting2:
:signLOL:
Hurdy,
As you know i have Revo on car, and HGP on DSG. Everything works perfectly, so from my point of view JBS is eating sh!t.
@poverty: i'm still waiting for an R with more hp than mine to appear. Not being envious, but i will be happy that i won't be alone anymore here in stratosphere ;)
On the ED30 I had Giac DSG and Revo engine maps and they worked perfectly.
Simply cannot understand why C-C's torque de-limit shouldn't when all the other parameters work perfectly. :confused:

I only recently emailed JBS about a DSG map for mine. I think ill drop that plan. Out of interest how come REVO haven't released a DSG map, do thry not have plans for one? With any look GIAC sort out a new code for the dsg snd problems solved.
From what i gather APR have bypassed the limiters on their R now. Not sure if its a dsg map or ecu tweak though

Engine ecu. :happy2:
At a guess I would say they are making the engine tell the gearbox that it's only getting a percentage of the actual torque.
16 1/4 mile runs in 6 hours!
That poor R of yours John......
:signLOL:
That's a mere drive to the shops for John.. :signLOL:
Looks like you had a decent day mate.. Were the conditions as good as they looked? I reckon the torque limiter is definitely holding you back judging by yours terminal speeds. Will be good to see what difference it makes when you manage to sort it...
What's your movements this week mate? I may be in Sheffield at some point, so could possibly meet up for a coffee?
John, well done mate. Just posted on my GTi festival thread, didn't know you'd posted here :happy2:
My terminal speed was only just over 104 and best quarter mile 13.0557.
My car is due a service in 1000 miles, so need to get her checked out. Either the R is far quicker than the S3 or there is something wrong with mine :confused: that other Blue R was doing sub 13's and he was only stage 1, that's a bit worrying for me and my times :signLOL:
Need to get that DSG map sorted 1st of all, then a health check for her.

what other mods have you done hurdy ,have you lowered it yet
I was avoiding the water for most of the day until Luke said it actually may help as I was getting too MUCH grip. After that my times dropped by another couple of tents of a second.
John - I will give you a text during the week and we can sort something :happy2:
I bet if you replaced the heavy-ass 19" Tallys with some 18" TD's you would see a difference too.. Plus they really suit the .:R IMO..
Paulk - you back in the fold mate? :happy2: What happened to the RS?
Did you see my post about the video John?
I've got a 19 second video of you John going up the strip.
Its not brilliant but if nobody else has it I can see if I can email it to you if you want it?
I would have said hello but everytime I walked past your car you weren't there.

Good to see you back mate.. What led you back to the VAG scene? Just fancied a change I take it?
Still have a huge soft spot for the RS.. Any links to a build thread/s?

will you get your money back from jbs , that dsg map isnt cheap

@ Jussa
What's the engine code on your S3??
AXX BWA BYD BHZ CDL etc... if you don't know it it'll be the first 3 letters of your engine number (can find it in your log book) :happy2:
Car looks well John, goes well too by the looks of it :happy2:
looks quick to me mate .....stunning car :driver:
I'm wondering though if she's gone bad since Inters, or the Inters runs were good because their equipment isn't accurate :confused:
I was avoiding the water for most of the day until Luke said it actually may help as I was getting too MUCH grip. After that my times dropped by another couple of tents of a second.
Fastest time was a 12.615 and the fastest time with a passenger was a 12.787.
Hurdy, are REVO not willing to make the changes in the Eremap to trick the DSG into thinking the car is making less torque?
....I'm curious how getting too MUCH grip can ever be a problem?
You must be pleased with the consistency of your times, John :happy2:

Yeah i think his stage 3 setup has shaved 0.6 seconds of his time and netted him a 7mph higher terminal :surprised:yes I was fully weighed down. Did this deliberately for a benchmark and to give me more to go at later. I knew there was at least a 12.7 in the car with full weight as id done it and knew I'd be happy with that for a starting official time. To get multiple 12.6's was a bit of a bonus. :happy2:

Yeah, he has the updated stage 2+ software. If that can allow me a timing of 7 I'm well up for it :party:
All revo settings are different car to car. T7 on hurdys does sound high, I thought anything above 6 was race fuel only (or wmi).Don't forget that you cannot compare cars running the newer revised K04 code compared to the older code. The baselines for the settings used are different and cannot be compared directly.

So the new code is less aggressive but allows more timing and will seem smoother?? :popcornsoda:

Yup. I can quite happily run with timing at 7 now the weather is a little cooler (I also have the THS) = pulling very low, if any CF's

car looked really good on sunday, clean and very quick
just wanted to say thanks for the advice in queue (black edition 30) tried what you said, and it seem to then give consistent times :) still some improvement but happy as it was still my first time

Wow thats some improvement! :congrats:
How does this compare to APR's Golf R?
It will be pretty similar I reckon to their stage 2+ set-up. However if my car had the same suspension mods as the APR Golf I reckon I could nudge a 12-12.1 out of it. Unfortunately by the time the official drag strip season gets going again next year I will at least have water methanol and most likely the Loba turbo too. If I wait a while I could get a run or 10 in early next year and run it without the wmi on and then with it on for comparison and to get a pure GIACs stage 2+ run. Their cars abroad have already been hitting 12.1's and on methanol getting into the 11's :party: :driver:
Depends on the date. If I can I will. :happy2:

GIAC released their stage 2 map yesterday. Their stage 2 map is the equivalent of Revo stage 2+. It was developed on GIACs own in-house Golf R, with just the normal bolt ons of....

Autotech hpfp internals
Modified Forge Twintake
I was lucky enough to try this map over the weekend and I must say I am very impressed with it. It revs out to the redline swiftly and smoothly and without any hint of hesitation. The pull is strong and is easily faster than my Torque limited Revo set-up. 100mph comes up in under 10 seconds and I reckon low 12's at the Pod are easily achievable on this set-up.
I went out with Steve Jr from Statllers as GIAC asked for some maf logs on the hammer map that was on before stage 2 and then some logs on stage 2.
The Hammer map made 265g/s and on the dyno made 347bhp and just under 350lbft
The Stage 2 map made 296g/s and on the dyno made 379bhp@6480rpm and 360lbft. The 360lbft of torque held for almost 2000rpm rather than just being a peak figure, and then dropped off to 320lbft@6000rpm.
The car is also running the GIAC stage 3 DSG software and runs supremely well with the stage 2 engine map.
Overall I'm glad I made the move to GIAC and will stick with them from now on.
Any questions, ask away

I was lucky enough to try this map over the weekend and I must say I am very impressed with it. It revs out to the redline swiftly and smoothly and without any hint of hesitation. The pull is strong and is easily faster than my Torque limited Revo set-up. 100mph comes up in under 10 seconds and I reckon low 12's at the Pod are easily achievable on this set-up.
I went out with Steve Jr from Statllers as GIAC asked for some maf logs on the hammer map that was on before stage 2 and then some logs on stage 2.
The Hammer map made 265g/s and on the dyno made 347bhp and just under 350lbft
The Stage 2 map made 296g/s and on the dyno made 379bhp@6480rpm and 360lbft. The 360lbft of torque held for almost 2000rpm rather than just being a peak figure, and then dropped off to 320lbft@6000rpm.
The car is also running the GIAC stage 3 DSG software and runs supremely well with the stage 2 engine map.
Overall I'm glad I made the move to GIAC and will stick with them from now on.
Any questions, ask away
John, I was getting 265g/s and I made 322bhp on JKM dyno.
Is Stattlers dyno a 'Heart Breaker' as per JKM?
I was under the impression it was pretty accurate so it maybe the differences between an ED30 engine and a 'R' but I thought they were pretty similar.
I have the DSG Stage 2 software as well.
I thought with the GIAC maps you had to have a different MAF housing, hence why before people had to use the VF Engineering intake, is that still the case,
if so, you cant really directly compare the MAF reading from an OEM sized MAF housing to a larger MAF housing.
It can take no account of ign or fuel quality however, but on stage 1 remapped cars its pretty close estimation.

It isn't the case Sy. Their stage 2+ equivalent map ( they call stage 2 for some reason ) is a new map based on the OEM MAF housing diameter and developed on their own in-house Golf R, so is directly comparable. :happy2:

Makes much more sense that they do it this way, otherwise your completely limited on the intakes you can run. Which intake are you running now?
6k launch might even be to high for a haldex car lol
You in for the group buy on the H&Rs? Looks like venom had their prices too low

I'm off for 10 days after Thursday, so should be able to catch them this time. :smiley:
Amazing R John looks the dogs b****cks
what did the GIAC boys do to modify the Forge Twintake? I've heard the Twintake can cause airflow problems leading to false MAF readings and pulling timing, particularly with REVO maps. Just interested to see what GIAc have done to get round it...
Anynews on wheels? Pic? Have they turned up yet?

I have just revised my GTI Forge Twintake Review under MINUS POINTS to reflect this information.
I would only add that to be fair, I don't think that Stage 2+ software was available when Forge were pre-release testing.
For the cost of the TD's I think they are one of the best mods, bang for buck. That's why I ran mine on them :happy2:
So much win now they are on Johnny boy.. :happy2: Just totally finishes it off for me (especially the Black on Grey theame).. :congrats:
Plus it should help a little on the drag strip now you've got shot of the heavy-ass Tallys..
I was actually thinking of having the roof done in vinyl gloss black, which would be the final external visual mod. Not 100% sure though.

....Is your VW badge matt or gloss black?
Your new alloys are gloss black?
Black roof and black mirror caps would be spot on. I'm also in the pro race club now too. Mine will have a nice set of slicks on them :jumping:
looking nice them John--when you slamming it more :smiley:
. Brakes aren't urgent as they are good enough for the road over winter, so it may well be early next year when everything goes on. :happy2:
Ok, been out today in the wet to see if the car is much faster since the software updates and the lighter alloys and tyres. Finally got my hands back on the Performance box.
The run below was done in the wet, with just over half a tank of fuel and full interior. The surface starts off level and then goes into a decline half way on the run to the end, but no more than Bruntingthorpe has by comparison. Wheelspin at all 4 wheels to around 30 mph and I used launch control at just over 4krpms.
The car definitely feels better, revs out well to the redline and the pull is much harder.
No 1/4 mile this time though as there is a gate at the end! :scared:

Currently its expensive due to the components used but I'm working hard to make it affordable by using more cost effective components. The current first batch of 9 sets are all sold already, might take 9 months but there's a chance of getting this on R32s and S3s for three figures.
All the kits are going on 400BHP Plus TT's and a very special Bi turbo R32
Would love to see this more commonly used though, the pedal feel is sublime

Is the whp you're quoting power at the wheels or power at the hubs John? I was under the impression that hub dynos will read slightly higher than normal ones because of less losses (through turning the wheels and there is no wheel spin etc).
Looking good either way :happy2: Take me out for a spin next week? :innocent:

A few questions....
Calculating back to bhp and engine torque what multiplication factor would I need for FWD and DSG as my understanding is that DSG drivetrain losses are more than a manual?
Anyone with comparative AFR results? Looks good to me but unsure if the hump at 3000rpm that goes to 13.5 is too lean?
Anyone?
Are hub dynos more sensitive John?
I've used and tuned on a fair few hub dynos, and with tuned small capacity single turbo engines I always used to get that annoying torque spike, have seen it a fair few times with the tfsi.
Look at this link of a place that uses a hub dyno: http://torquetronix.co.uk/media-news/94-dyno-plots.html
The majority have a similar torque spike, so nothing to really worry about. It's also the main reason I went with a 4wd DD chassis dyno when I was dyno shopping.
Hurdy, if you are ever up this way pop in for a dyno test, considering an R for my next car :wink:
is this what you were looking for John?.

Golf R has the S3 intercooler with plastic end tanks. Bigger than the GTI cooler.
I did have a sneaky conversation about having nitrous again, but this time purely for the 1/4 mile runs :rolleye:
Not sure yet though as it would involve internals/HPA clutchpacks etc, but I guess those may be done at some point anyway! :evilgrin:
"I'm doing the mods individually so I feel the effect and or benefit of each" sounds familiar? :grin:

brilliant :grin: Will it be like last time, start with a 25hp injector then think stuff it and bolt on the 100Hp injector then hold on for dear life :driver: At least with the R you will have traction so a 100hp shot would give an immense improvement in time up the strip. Even a minor 25Hp injector would be a pretty substantial gain i think.
Which alloy front arms? I thought th R would have had the alloy arms as std because of the bigger brakes, like on the S3.
Same WMI kit as in the Polo?
Sy none of the vw's have alloy arms pal it's a scandal. The only thing anywhere near is the rocco with alloy rear hubs. You want to go for the TT alloy front hubs aswell while you're on John, may aswell, lot less unsprung weight and the centre of gravity sits correctly as the ball joint is in the correct position by doing this. It's out by around 35-40mm with just the arms as the steel hub sits higher up and the ball join has to go on the wrong side of the arm as a solution. :happy2:
It does pal but if memory serves me correct only by 10mm what is the standard offset on the R and what offset are you running on the TD's
It does pal but if memory serves me correct only by 10mm what is the standard offset on the R and what offset are you running on the TD's
Standard on the R is ET50 with an 8" alloy. I'm running ET45 with an 8" alloy. If the alloy hubs push the wheels out 10mm, that would mean my offset would be the equivalent of ET35, which would most likely rub!

TC from what John wants from this I'm assuming he doesn't want to be running any camber, although stiffer springs yes. However from reading what's done and what's to be done I would go for camber John and get the hubs! :evilgrin: Danish you don't have to go for the TT rack, all it need is the TT ball joints and a quick simple bit of machining on the ends of the rack arms already fitted. :happy2: also not needed are the driveshafts as this is a misconception a lot of people are having as once the car is lowered it brings the position tighter up I to the gearbox not further away. Trust me on this my car has seen many heavy track days now and it is absolutely spot on! :happy2:
8 to 10 times a year. That's a lot of track days John. Most track cars/only, don't see the circuits that much.

I dont quite know exactly what they have done with mine at kpm Alex as I can guarantee you mine are in a lot more than 3 threads. I do know they used the ttrs ones and not sure if they are different in any way? Are yours the ones that are quite long and have a curve in them for tyre clearance on the TT? John when's your first track day next year then? When's your meth being fitted?
They may have fitted the TT arms to my rack to achieve it then?

Nitrous & Arrows the week after right? :grin:
TC from what John wants from this I'm assuming he doesn't want to be running any camber, although stiffer springs yes. However from reading what's done and what's to be done I would go for camber John and get the hubs! :evilgrin: Danish you don't have to go for the TT rack, all it need is the TT ball joints and a quick simple bit of machining on the ends of the rack arms already fitted. :happy2: also not needed are the driveshafts as this is a misconception a lot of people are having as once the car is lowered it brings the position tighter up I to the gearbox not further away. Trust me on this my car has seen many heavy track days now and it is absolutely spot on! :happy2:
Looks like that lot came from a jumble sale....... :signLOL:
Only kiddin john. Handling to go with the powet now :congrats:
Gonna be mega with this lot.
Cant wait to get mine polybushed :driver:
Think i need some of those b14's in my life too.

Car looks excellent, right color and wheels. I run BSH mounts, they are very sore inside the cabin.

Looking good john. Go for the top mounts pal, 2 reasons 1 they are a lot better no engine movement which in turn improves traction, 2 if you dont, trust me the top 2 mounts will go on you being a weaker link to the stiffer mounts. :happy2:

Hmmm, possibly a touch lower at the front maybe?
The coilovers still have to settle and have about another inch lowering available both front and rear.

Don't bother with 'scene approved' stance - get it corner weighted to the right height. You've paid all that money for fancy suspension, you need to have it optimised :happy2:

....I couldn't agree more! John already has the experience of having had Bilstein coilovers on his Ed30 but once the setup is right, the car is on the sweet-spot and a joy to drive.

Oh, and it looks lovely.
Looks good John, Get the front down to match the rear+1
Next up, I need to make a decision on the make & colour of the brakes!
I'm torn between rising blue, Lamborghini orange, subtle silver or traditional red?
Any ideas?
Purple, that hasnt been done on here.... i dont think.
Not quite as out there as orange but would look awesome on a dark car with black wheels. Would look good on a white car aswell Rich :evilgrin:

might I suggest colour coding them to the car.
In the flesh it really takes them to another level, looks Lambo OEM and doesn't look like you're trying very hard.

Have you got some Gallardo Superleggera grey calipers going cheap then Dave? :party:
Those are LOBA bells and rotors alex...... got their logo on them so it must be true.
As above... colour code to car would look very nice
Do some research as to who manufactures for Loba
I know.... ap
And
With you being into photography take a good look at the picture

As you are on my to do list and any stock I get left with prior to financial year end I get taxed on and whilst I've still got compromising pictures of Jonny @ BCR then anytime before 31st Dec!!!
You know my cunning plan for you..... it all depends on ridding you of your desires for 18s...., ended up putting the last proposed kit onto a bi turbo Mk5 R32 with Muircelago Calipers (SHhhhhhhhh [RS6!]) in Arancio Atlas Orange..... Lambo colour.
Complete overkill but just can't help thinking lightweight 390s would look the Bollox, I know you'll wimp out and go for my crappy 362mm AP kit with fully floating rotors and Gallardo Calipers you pussy.... :wink:
PS what did you think of the pedal on Steves Loba car he really quite likes it.
PPS only kidding! lots of choices out there wouldn't just assume you'd be fitting my stuff love to get involved tho
I quite like being on a "to do" list......just wish it was Mila Kunis's and not yours :laugh:
I think Steve Jr at Statllers maybe giving you a bell about my desires to keep 18's. No point in saving weight on the brakes if I have to go back to heavy ass 19's. 362mm may just about fulfil my brake fetish, but the desire for the 390's runs deep. :smiley:

I agree with stealth. Lairy calipers are all well and good but there is something about not giving the game away plus they will match the rears unless you are planning on doing them too. :smiley:

Gallardo Calipers all come black, and since 2011 get the Mass Dampener instead of the reinforcing bar of the R8V8.
If the car has colour coded calipers (£2k Option) they then go off to the Lambo approved paint shop for a lick of Arancio Atlas Orange or Ithaca Verde
Now having just encouraged the idea of sackiing off bright calipers Ithaca Verde with Black Lambo Decals would look bloody perfect looking at your cars colour John

Trust me ive had a few fancy colours and if you are planning on driving it as heavy as it is modified then this is the best option! Had quite a few track days and still clean up like new unlike other colours pal. Although nice, not practical.
Just seen these...

The car feels good and after a recent alteration the car is running well.
0-60mph = 3.6 seconds
0-60mph down a slope = 3.3 seconds
0-60mph up a slope = 4.0 seconds.
These knock 0.2 seconds off previous runs at the same place. :driver:
Even setting off uphill without launch control still gives a 4.4 second time :smiley:

The launch is so much better; cleaner, sharper and more aggressive . The 1/4 mile terminal speeds are a little better, but the times are easily better than before.
Quick Q. Where do you buy your methanol? Also do you use tap or bottled water
I thought sheffield would be a hard water area like doncaster is.

Been a 4xx on that R for around 3 or more months now. No one at Revo wants to comment on the progress.
Isn't that all the Loba offering is a hybrid K04? :confused:
When individuals questions the likely EGT issue on with the Loba turbo they repeatedly danced around the question.
As usual it got :indifferent:
Isn't that all the Loba offering is a hybrid K04? :confused:
Almost, but is more like a reduced size TT-RS offering with a modified, bored out K04 manifold strapped to it, so has more potential than a K04 hybrid. :smiley:
Steve is still running the Loba turbo on his ED30 and it is still VERY strong. He has booked two cars for the 30-130 day, but I think he will be bringing the Porsche and the Golf RS.
As you can imagine by the two builds he has ongoing, he hasn't really done much with the ED30 apart from using it as his daily, which speaks volumes for how well it runs. Sunglasses Ron also went out in it and if he spots this I'm sure he will post to tell you how strong it runs. :smiley:

Quick Q. Where do you buy your methanol? Also do you use tap or bottled wateri know ur meant to use bottled water but i just use normal tap water. Its gone in 3 days anyway. :evilgrin:
I thought sheffield would be a hard water area like doncaster is.the majority of sheffield is soft water
i can get methanol at any quantity £1 per litreQuick Q. Where do you buy your methanol? Also do you use tap or bottled water
I bought mine through Statllers, but from memory I think it is Westfield wholesale chemicals. You need a fairly big order for delivery though as they sell it by the pallet load!
I use filtered tap water as here in Sheffield we don't have any issues at all with limescale. If you live in an area like mine then you should be okay doing this as long as the methanol mix is used and not stored too long. Distilled water lasts longer as a mix, but even then there are limits.
All K04's too.. :happy2: Just needed a Cupra there for the full house..
Too many jealous and nasty people about ,get some cctv an a couple of coats of wolfs hardbody on there john :)

The differences in software are....
Before
GIAC stage 2 software
Evoms intake
After
GIAC extreme map in Race mode
VF Intake - 3"MAF housing
Devils Own Water Methanol Injection
BSH throttle pipe
Exactly 60bhp and 90lbft more at 3500rpm!! Not bad returns for the outlay cost. :happy2:

That it. Whats the N75 duty cycle like?
What boost is it holding by 7k?
Seeing this remings me I have a water meth kit on the shelf for mine that needs fitting.
I dont see the point in having a dyno calibrated to read lower.... its like having a ruler thats scale is wrong, utterly useless. :confused:

It works bloody well for JKM. :laugh:
I see naysayers everywhere TC not just on others results but also on JKM's.
The answer is if you're not good with disappointment don't go on any dynos. :wink:
Uprating the lpfp made a good difference to the vRS. Could add more boost at 1.9 bar peak and 1.5 bar at 7k and more timing. Going to add a 145bar fprv soon too.
The meth will go well with the larger tb and gtx3071.

We are getting close to the point were he bends a rod or one of his clutches starts slipping. (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Ftomashandmilly%2FDaft_stuff%2FBigSmile2.gif&hash=64cd829d85d6a74bddc44cb4086426599cd39d47)

I know John! i was just trying to be humorous. :happy2: I wouldn't doubt your knowledge when it came to tuning these engines. :wink:
Your still mad as a hatter though. :driver:
I dont see the point in having a dyno calibrated to read lower.... its like having a ruler thats scale is wrong, utterly useless. :confused:
It works bloody well for JKM. :laugh:
Uprating the lpfp made a good difference to the vRS. Could add more boost at 1.9 bar peak and 1.5 bar at 7k and more timing. Going to add a 145bar fprv soon too.
The meth will go well with the larger tb and gtx3071.
Did you hear that revo have dropped the lo4xx?
Have Revo dropped it or have GIAC bagged the rights for it now? I know GIAC are plugging it quite heavily in the USA now as well as the L0380. I've seen the Uprated fprv's and the 145bar one is already on my radar. I think the 155 bar one maybe overkill even for BT applications LOL.
1.9 bar is good, but 1.7bar seems to make for a smoother curve on mine at the moment. Maybe that is due to the fprv or the limit of the lpfp, however pushing it higher on the R seems to promote more surge, making it edgy and the lower setting gives a smoother run at lower throttle around town. Either way the boost at the redline seems to be similar.
I think its a conflict of interests.... REVO are in bed with STaSIS hardware so why would they develop software for a rival hardware company?
I feel for you Hardy, I really do. I had Revo engine software and Custard Code DSG software and had to bin both to get to where I am now.
I've asked GIAC today about the specs of the L0380 as there are a few people who have asked me questions about the set up.
STaSIS so far haven't made big inroads into the 2.0TFSi platform as they have been concentrating on stuff like the 3.0 supercharged engine and the 2.5tfsi. I doubt they will change tack any time soon either as they are mainly US based and focused as that is where the money is.
GIAC on the other hand have their own in-house Golf R for tuning and are sold on the L0380 and L04XX turbos.
I think GIAC would be better off supplying a kit for both these turbos, rather than individuals having to source their own supporting hardware, but I guess that allows us to have different tweaks to our set-ups. :smiley:
Oh, and Revo, whilst being one of the better tuning companies, seem to be hobbled a bit by their own success. They now have owners that look at the pounds and pence as well as just the tuning aspect. I believe this has made them less flexible and slowed down their "product to market" times. The guys in 1.4tsi's with the seven speed DSG are still awaiting a tune for them from Revo and this is over a year after they said to me it would be coming.......and still nothing as far as I can see. :stupid:
I have emailed Nick at R-Tech.
Ill let you know what he says.
Simon must have a magic EGT gauge then as the TFSi doesnt have one on the car.
Simon must have a magic EGT gauge then as the TFSi doesnt have one on the car.
Revo have been testing the LO4XX on a golf R for a few months. They allocate weeks on each tune so if they are not happy selling something then they wont. Why progress with something thats not working for them?
Hybrids are a waste of time on the TFSi. I know, I run one. No point going from a K04 to a K04 hybrid unless the stock K04 has died.
The AFi mani and GTX30**R turbos look stock from the top.

They seem like excellent results from the water meth. GIAC must have a proper wmi optimised map.
I’ve been running the DO wm kit for a while now and tried nozzles from 200ml/min upto 625ml/min and the most I got was an extra 14bhp on JKM’s dyno. I’m running Revo 2+ and this is all I could get by running timing at 8. Certainly not optimised like your GIAC code.
I’m just waiting to hear back from Nick at R-Tech on if he will take my car on for a custom map.
I’ve set my wm to kick in at about 650-700mb and peak at about 1200mb. How is yours set up?

If you run the right mix your octane rating will be boosted considerably, similiar to using race fuel, timing can be advanced big time. However should the WMI fail or run out, the engine will melt itself.^^^^^This!^^^^^
^^^^ and i will be able to tell you what thats like once mine is up and running againIf you run the right mix your octane rating will be boosted considerably, similiar to using race fuel, timing can be advanced big time. However should the WMI fail or run out, the engine will melt itself.^^^^^This!^^^^^
GIAC's race map is for wmi or/and race fuel. Running it without either, but on 99 Ron pump fuel is borderline. The timing will pull considerably and you won't get benefits from running in race mode on 99 ron only, but you won't melt your engine unless you are completely stupid and try doing WOT runs at max speeds for daft lengths of time. Eg, a 1/4 mile run or even a 30-130 would be okay, but I wouldn't like to go on a German Autobahn for 50 miles at WOT!
You'd get better results from the Extreme Pump map with 99ron than in race mode and still get a decent power and torque increase in pump mode too when using WMI.
Yours,will be as mad as a box of frogs Gaz. :happy2:^^^^ and i will be able to tell you what thats like once mine is up and running againIf you run the right mix your octane rating will be boosted considerably, similiar to using race fuel, timing can be advanced big time.

I did run out once, the car just throttled back and I' m sure I saw timing pull in the 14's.
I'm down here in Surrey with Revo software. I really wanted GIAC engine and dsg software but Regal the southern dealer for them have been useless when i have contacted them on the three occasions. Wish Statlers was a bit closer. We need a decent GIAC agent down here!!
I have been chatting to Kev and apparently there is a dsg map is coming this year but they can't give me a date. Agree Revo need to start doing more R&D if they don't want to fall behind.

Like it john. U got any spare. If not where'd u get it from
Update...
Been out late today to get a run or two to see how the car is running. Did an each way 0-60 run to get a more accurate average. Downhill the 0-60 was 3.2, uphill it was 3.7. Works out at an average of 3.45 seconds for the dash to 60. The car is running very strong and is currently in race mode on wmi. :happy2:

Is that supposed to be showing us something john..... cant see anything!!
:laugh:
I don't think hybrids are a waste of time for a fast road car it just depends how well they've been set up.
Revo had lots of things to consider with the Loba, they had to make something fool proof that they could offer throughout the world including very hot climate markets, for a car with limited hardware, they never really sank their hearts into it as for them it was too expensive and they assumed customers wouldn't want to pay for the correct development.
Makes sense really they have to put their efforts into things that make them money !
Personally I think a well set up stock K04 car is hard to beat with the right mods and makes one hell of a fast road car
Regards Johns car we'll go as far as we can on the stock K04 I spent a lot of time on the dyno setting the car up, it wasn't just a power thing either we wanted a smooth delivery and that's exactly what we got and more boost didn't make more power by the way! Some more to do yet on the stock turbo then move on.
With regards to Hybrids VS BT setups soon I'll be able to overlay different graphs on the dyno when our Marham motor is finished that would be with GTX30 & 35's included
So what does Sir require ? a 400+ hp fast road car keeping excellent road manners and near stock drivability or a rip snorting 9000rpm limited monster that's gutless below 4000rpms but when it comes you better hold on?
I know which I'd choose for the road and I own cars with both set ups
Well be having an open day mid summer so you can choose and see for yourself :driver:
How much it cost for the wmi system inc fitting & mapping john

You have basically the same hardware as James (Inc LPFP) yet have around 55lb/ft less torque - do you think the DSG is still limiting it a bit? :surprised:

We backed off the torque in the tune at Statllers as it was surpressing the power and giving a less smooth drive from the DSG. Reducing it meant higher power. :happy2:
couldnt you just have a custom map say by g-r performance??
interested to see some 100-200kmh and 30-130's :driver:This is what I'm thinking. Need runway! :laugh:
couldnt you just have a custom map say by g-r performance??
I think John (Hurdy) has built a relationship with Statllers and also as they are local, uses them for map tweaks etc and other mods. They are also vw specialists
Next stop the Pod? :party: Be interesting to see what it runs there.. :wink:oh, its quick alright. Those launches are crazy. Nice results mate.
The guy who owned the rs spent the rest pf the day disputing his figure! He was well gutted!
ha ha, just spoke to sam and apparently the rs owner was following the guy around whose dyno it was for the rest of the day telling him his dyno was out. maybe he had it dyno'd at awesome first :signLOL:The guy who owned the rs spent the rest pf the day disputing his figure! He was well gutted!
Sounds about right from Ford AND Vauxhall performance drivers.
I bet it cost a bloody fortune to get that RS to Stage 4 though?

A Hurdy vs James drag race would be interesting :popcornsoda:
Although Manual vs DSG is a little unfair :sad1:
Rolling would be interesting (ie 30-130mph).. So long as the GTI gets traction, the DSG advantage would be cancelled out by the extra 150kgs the .:R is carrying..
Thanks for the info Si :happy2: I'm quite tempted by the L0380 as it has quite a few attributes that I like...more power and faster spool being two of them. I've always said that I would like my R to be a strong street car, rather than a drag queen and this might be my solution. I'd like to see how far one of these can be pushed.....safely of course

No worries John, let me know ill sort it... biggest numbers ive heard on LO380 is 407hp and 580Nm
Alex just cause your hybrid don't perform for what ever reason, don't use that to talk of ours or judge, not all are hybrids are the same, same as tuners.

Here :stupid: read above sounds like yours dont do much...
I agree really would be ideal time to upgrade if and when go's pop... But many dont and just upgrade and are very happy with ours. Not sure what spec your running maybe worth posting details as you state reasons not to bother with it :happy2:.
Regarding LO4xx its another option for people maybe just not some.
And Regards to EGT's do you not think a EGT probe mite have been used in testing many years ago by partners.....:stupid:

Are those figure based with or without WMI? I'm running 387bhp and 398lbft/540nm already on the K04 with WMI. If you have a dyno plot to pm me that would be great. :happy2:
Possibly, but the spool up is said to be quicker than the K04 too, so more power and earlier, remember it is the AREA under the graph and not just the peak figures. :happy2:
Why does it slow up from 90-100 so badly John ? Weight or transmission losses?
From 60 to 100 it's slower then my Ed30 at stage 2 by 1 second.
Dam fast of the mark though :surprised:

0-60 is more about grip, 60-100mph is about power to weight. Once i have more fuel pressure on the LPFP side it will be faster. Some proper race fuel on the race map would also be better as I still feel that it pulls power.
Seriously quick John. :notworthy:

60-100kmph in 4 seconds dead. :innocent:
I managed 0-60 in 6.1, with 3mm fronts so struggled for traction, easily can better that by .5 with new rubber.
That's why I couldn't believe there's a noticeable difference higher up, and this car is also modified.

Don't want to burst your bubble Steve, but I think you might need to re-calibrate your iphone app pal.. Not a chance in hell that a Stage 2 ED30 is doing 4 seconds dead from 60-100mph unless it's being run in San Fransico :signLOL:. That's over full second quicker than a Stage 2+ Ed30 and even GTR pace mate.
All of the figures are pointless unless done on the same performance meter at the same time and place, otherwise can and worms springs to mind. Good for a laugh, but I would take those figures with a massive pinch of salt..
DB9's aren't particularly quick given their bhp output.. Oh and their 60-100mph time is over 6 secs.. :wink:
Get it strapped to a Vbox at some point Steve. Or even better, get her down Pod again. :evilgrin: I've got Dynolicious on my phone and it is very temperamental.. 'Can' be very accurate if sometimes though, I'll give it that.
The weight input on the dynolocious app has no effect on the 0-60 and 0-100 runs.... put in 40000000tons. It will read the sameVery true Rich. That is for the BHP measure.

I wish you would come over to vagoc some more with that voice of reason and common sense Ben! Would be nice to have someone other than myself and jonny who doubt a 500hp TTRS owners claims of posting quicker v-box figures than statlers 700hp Porsche, Ferrari enzos and those two BT 996 turbos I was with last year at marham, on v-power and WMI.
robj Is running the exact same spec basically same weight yet 2 seconds slower LOL.
Anyway I'll see you at marham soon, will be interesting to see what times the stripped hybrid turbo TTRS will do on race fuel

Sorry Jason this is not true at all. Robs times you keep comparing to and quoting. His car was not running same intercooler (lot smaller), exhaust, or intake kit, and rob has a different spec compressor in his LO500P turbocharger and map compared to Ciprians, also Robs car was detuned or not tuned hard as i stated before, i was told this by ttshop and REVO, and thats all the logs APR have been using here there and every where around the web. Robs car was consistently slower then ttshops car at all events but also lighter i think, also again this was before they now changed IC and intake and HPFP and map with great gains on there green LO500P car. :happy2:
Robs car is not the bench mark imho never was.
Im also looking fwd to the stripped LO500P TTRS will do on race fuel.. i hope TTshop can dial it in. There's much to be said to setting a car up to do its best with hardware imho, Statller is proof of this....
Hurdy Email me please.
robj Is running the exact same spec basically same weight yet 2 seconds slower LOL.
Anyway I'll see you at marham soon, will be interesting to see what times the stripped hybrid turbo TTRS will do on race fuel
Sorry Jason this is not true at all. Robs times you keep comparing to and quoting. His car was not running same intercooler (lot smaller), exhaust, or intake kit, and rob has a different spec compressor in his LO500P turbocharger and map compared to Ciprians, also Robs car was detuned or not tuned hard as i stated before, i was told this by ttshop and REVO, and thats all the logs APR have been using here there and every where around the web. Robs car was consistently slower then ttshops car at all events but also lighter i think, also again this was before they now changed IC and intake and HPFP and map with great gains on there green LO500P car. :happy2:
Robs car is not the bench mark imho never was.

Is ciprians turbo updated? Is the stripped TTRS prepped by the tt shop going to be running max potential do you know?
Fair enough ciprians car could be alot more powerful,but even at 550hp theres no way it would be quicker than the LO700 997 turbo!
Is Ciprian attending at Marham?No Ben, he's located in Romania
Here's another one this time a apr Golf R trying to find out more about its weight. But I dunno can a 1300kg 390hp car really set these sorta times on 95 Ron and WMI?

No, the run was actually DOWNHILL. After all the debate on my thread about figures and whether to believe them or not I thought I'd post something that peeps would question. It just goes to show though, my car had to run like that to get 11.7 on wmi with 99ron. An 11.4 on the flat I reckon would need 500bhp to do it!

My thoughts are that the car may accelerate faster going downhill, but the GPS doesnt know you are going down hill so you have to travel further to get to 1/4 mile?

Haha that's madness. Can't imagine what it goes like now. Was quick enough when you took me for a spin when at R-Tech :happy2:
John what's your honest opinion on the in tank pump?
I ordered it ages ago but haven't been home to road test it.
Blimey! Certainly shifts! :jumping: Looking forward to seeing how far you eventually take this R Hurdy. Did you decide on any 19's in the end or are you sticking with the 18 inch TD's?
Haha that's madness. Can't imagine what it goes like now. Was quick enough when you took me for a spin when at R-Tech :happy2:
Oh it is MUCH quicker now than it was at R-Tech Matto. :happy2:
Spotted you today joining the M1 just near Meadowhall in Sheffield, car looks well on the move!
Time you going over to Awesome John?
The full story reveals that torque is held much longer on WMI and power builds earlier.
Eg. Torque is held over 400lbft on WMI for over 2,000rpm whereas on 2+ it simply doesn't hold and immediately drops back to 380lbft
Similarly power after 2,500rpm is made faster with WMI.
Eg. At 3,500rpm WMI makes 40bhp extra, by 4,000rpm wmi makes 60bhp extra.
This is NOT an APR v's GIAC it is purely to attempt to show how WMI makes power. I'm sure similar results could be achieved from any equivalent stage2+ car by adding WMI.
Nice to meet you yesterday hurdy great run and the car was looking fantastic :)
I'm certainly going to give aem a try
Iirc that evo suffered from terrible turbo lag bet the R is much nicer in that respect.
Your times are even more impressive when you consider your power to weight is quite a bit off the fq400

Isn't the FQ400 over 1450kgs (not a million miles less than the Golf R) though? Also, don't forget that the Evo is a trusty manual too..

Hurdy,
are you still using the standard Golf R intercooler?
Hurdy, What do you monitor the WMI ? I.E if it fails whilst running an aggressive setting ?
Just wondering John but do you plan for an LSD in this?
Hi Hurdy,
How did you find the H&R ARB's compared to the standard Golf R ones?
Worthwhile getting the front and rear?
How did the car change?
Never you mind what im thinking :P
You like to have the end a bit more loose on yours?
Statlers dyno reads quite low??!!
Evening John, are they accurately low?? :grin:
Forgive me plse, wats whp?
So, today the car had Nology Silverline spark plugs fitted, the WMI altered and a few "sparkly" bits added.
I was surprised how close the engine cover colour is to the Steel Grey body colour even though it isn't the same grey ( or even meant to be ) as the Matt colour. Plus the R8 oil filler cap goes nicely with the MAF housing. :happy2:

How come you aren't using the ITG intake?
It was under £100 for the cover and the engine bolts it fits on. Painting cost me under £50. Steve Jr at Statllers sourced them for me. :happy2:
I had the paintwork done separately. Steve can have it painted too, but it would be a little more. :happy2:It was under £100 for the cover and the engine bolts it fits on. Painting cost me under £50. Steve Jr at Statllers sourced them for me. :happy2:

As you know John, I'm not one to be influenced by your mods lol, but any ideas if that sort of engine cover would fit my car??? :congrats:
I thought gold was supposed to be the best hence its use in electronics?
I thought gold was supposed to be the best hence its use in electronics?
Silver has the highest conductivity, however, whilst gold isnt quite as good, its often preferred for its resistance to corrosion.
Silver is known to erode pretty fast from what i gather.

I refer to part of the original quote from Nology's website...... :happy2:
"Nology Silver spark plugs are especially designed for high-performance engines. Silver is the best electrical and thermal conductor of any metal, which makes it the ultimate material for a spark plug's center electrode. The large diameter silver center electrode increases spark carrying ability and spark power. Silver is extremely resistant to erosion, guaranteeing a virtually unchanged electrode gap for the life of the spark plug. Most Nology Silver spark plugs are without a resistor, perfect for performance enthusiasts who demand the most from their engines. For racing or dependability and efficiency for everyday use, Nology Silver spark plugs deliver the most powerful spark."
How much for a set Alex? Are these ok for stage 1 TFSI... Do they need changing more often than the Iridiums?
linky for the Nology plugs please???PM Alex mate, I just grabbed a set off him :happy2:
told you about them plugs :happy2: what did you gap them to?
i done about 15k on mine still OK.
found my sweet spot to be 0.75. You can definitely notice the difference.
They give good results on the mk4 also. :drinking:
John do you have the intake manifold flap delete?
You planning to use a kit or fab something yourself?

Simon
this project is still making me drool!!!
I doubt that many will refute the fact that it is "fairly" fast as it is now as 4 up it still does 0-60 in under 4 seconds :laugh:
What sort of gains are you expecting from single port to direct port?
What sort of gains are you expecting from single port to direct port?
What about turbo. Read somewhere that your going for the LO400 instead of the LO4xx now. Is that right?
Yes. Apparently a new turbine wheel has been nstalled
Is the 380 now the 400 ?
Well something is going on Wednesday.
The Radiator fan control module packed in and so I'm having a new fan unit. So whilst that is out a Eurojet Intercooler will be fitted and seeing as it means the intake manifold is easily accessible then at the same time the runner flap delete will be done as well as going from single to multi-point direct WMI injection.
Then I'll take it from there.

I was sent a dyno graph of an L0400 doing 407bhp without WMI.
With WMI I'd say 430bhp is easily within reach. :smiley:
Realistically though, how much more do I need. It is a heavy 4WD car that can still do 0-60mph in under 4 seconds with 4 grown-ups onboard and is a low 12/high 11 second car on the strip.
With an Lo400 it would be a mid 11 second car at the strip and then after that it would be time to spend big money for realistically 0.7 seconds off the 1/4 mile and make it a high 10 second car. By then it would have lost it's low down reaction and driveability. I've always said that I wanted this car to be a fast car that keeps its flexibility and driveability, that I can take to the strip or track and not be shown up by anything other than out and out track cars or drag cars. The L0400 would probably be that turbo, but there are a few other things to do first. :happy2:

http://revohardware.com/p/54/eurojet-20t-front-mounted-intercooler
Physically smaller than both the APR and the THS but still gives similar results I hear. Really great price too.
If I was doing a K03 to K04 conversion and wanted more then the LO400 or similar hybrid would be a good option. If I wanted loads more then it would be big turbo setup to stay reliable and not have to run wmi to get numbers ;)

Yeah, the Eurojet has been tested up to 600bhp, so my plans mean it will be more than capable of what I demand from it. :happy2:
I don't think I'd even go for a K03 to K04 conversion now if I was in that position as the hybrids and L0400 are much better options now for similar prices.
A big turbo would be a fantastic option for a specific track or drag car, but for me personally It would always be a compromise and I really want power and ultimate flexibility from the R, which ultimately means sacrificing power to some degree. :smiley:

So what fuel pump are you running now APR?
What gets me is that both fuel pumps flow enough for stage 4 setups and more. irrelevant of specs, both perform more than you could need!!
So, with both having enough to power BT cars the deciding factor is price and Loba wins easily on that front too. :smiley:
So, with both having enough to power BT cars the deciding factor is price and Loba wins easily on that front too. :smiley:
Thats the only deciding factor IMO between the two. I also would go LOBA for that same reason.

Ah!! Interesting! I can see loads of people selling their APR pump now to buy the Loba if its cheaper. :signLOL:
John just out of interest what was the problem causing the rough running? :sad1:
Im surprised mike hasnt bought one... SHINY!!! :signLOL:

Does your keyboard automatically type that now?
So, full weight or strip out for the Pod?
So, full weight or strip out for the Pod?
I'd go for full weight for the Pod. As already mentioned take some tools just in case.
From your specs you're using a manual boost controller. Is that a bleed valve type thing or a fancy electronic boost controller?
If people don't like the fact your car is faster than their's, you'll always be accused of 'cheating' somehow - be it stripping, running 104ron, running semis, attaching a large sail...
I'd run it in road trim for sh*ts and giggles, that way if you do spank XY&Z's cars, it makes it all the funnier.
:happy2:
See you there hopefully John! Theres a 2.0TFSI mk2 that you need to race.... :driver:
Does it belong to TSR performance?
Call me stupid (please don't) but doesn't having a passenger effect the time a bit? :confused:
Epic car and times tho mate :happy2:
Did you take fastest Mk5 time of the day?
well dond, It was good to watch the launch from the R, gets the power down brilliantly.
Did you factor the 18-23mph head wind?? That was a time killer, a lot of my cars running .4 .5 down from there last years runs. But we did manage to get 2 PBs 10.6s 4wd mk4 and 11.8s 2wd mk4
Did you take fastest Mk5 time of the day?
Yeah, even the wife likes the chatter sound! :love:
So, the recent issues with the car at high rpm's look like they may well be due to too much boost coming in all at once and the basic controllerfor the WMI. So Steve at Statllers has suggested using the E-boost 2 controller to progressively manage both the boost and WMI.
Jake ( Danishmkvgti ) says his works very well, so I thought I'd give one a pop. :happy2:
Anyone else used one?

They were random and then just after the coilpack went on cylinder 3. All good now though and the R is now back to its best. :smiley:
Looks great there John, are you planning on having the WMI controlled by the Eboost?
I need to get the LPFP sorted and get some stable numbers then i plan on having the WMI controlled by my Eboost :happy2:
Looks great John! Can you explain the benefits of using the boost controller please?
Also out of interest what were the random issues?
Thanks
Look toward to seeing you on Sunday John :driver:

The OEM boost can only ever be 1.5 bar as that is all the map sensor can handle/read. Using a boost controller enables the car to be set at higher values of boost and therefore with tuning give more power and torque. It will be even more useful once the L0400 is fitted, so basically it is partially preparation work for the upgrade turbo too :happy2:

ED30 and Golf R have a 2,0 Bar MAP sensor, not 1,5 Bar to my knowledge :smiley:

For me the LO4xx isnt worth the effort. the LO380/400 or what ever it is now is the one I would go for. I agree with John 400Hp is more than enough
is the lo400 capable of close to 400hp without wmi and will it require lpfp and rs4 injectors.. sorry if missed out in build thread im getting round to reading it properly lol

With a custom map the L0400 has made 400+ bhp on pump fuel with no WMI. It does require RS4 injectors on the GIAC map although I'm fairly sure that with a custom map S3/Golf R injectors would do, the LPFP is not essential, but recommended. :happy2:

Saying that the vast majority of cars posted on the LOBA FB page running the LO400 that have made 395-405Hp seem to have WMI.
who are giac dealers in the uk mate what do giac claim with this turbo rs4 injectors and lpfp
Hurdy how come you're going for the Loba turbo over the same turbo APR use? GTX I think? Aren't they hitting 500bhp with standard internals?
Have you been out in / driven the Apr .:R John? :driver: bloody, bloody quick.

If I was going down your route AKS and Statller would be the only tuners I used, along with APR and their products.LO400 v GTx28 turbo isn't a valid comparison. The LO4xx is the Loba equivalent
It would be good to see the APR Stage 3 turbo and the Loba400 turbo overlaid on a graph... :notworthy:

You seen the cost of the kit?
GTX2867 is a better turbo though. Ball bearing, more flow, but will always cost loads more than a direct fit hybrid.

Gutted. How come you took it out? To save on w/m??
In your spec at start of this thread, you sed your using base kit wmi is this true or are you using a controller instead of the pressure switch?

Can't wait to see this completed.
Are you going to track it regularly or just sprint it?
Should be immensely quick.
Should easily be ready for that shouldnt it? Its plug and play, upload map and off you go isnt it?
Did they dyno yours before so we can see the actual gains?
I take it you are having the direct port WMI fitted to the manifold as well then?
0-60 in 3.5 secs?!?! :scared: .. Love how absurdly powerful this is, must get some looks from supercar owners!
Looking forward to seeing this on Sunday John.. Fingers crossed there are no teething problems mate.. :happy2:
Loba have quite a few converted cars running just normal super unleaded making around 400bhp ( on some dynos). With WMI you can add another 10bhp or so and on race fuel on a race map another 10-15bhp.
I'm simply hoping for a faster car with better spool! :laugh:
Statllers dyno reads quite low, so I'll just be interested in the gains over K04 as a direct comparison.
I will post up actual gains when I get them. So far it is back together and I'm awaiting a map from GIAC.
Can't wait to give her a whirl! :driver:
Did they not set it up on the dyno?
Did they not set it up on the dyno?
Tomorrow, for now I'm on a baseline extreme map. Steve hooked up the PC to the car to make sure nothing was amiss and set me loose for a road test. :smiley:
Sounds interesting. Awesome gains at 7000rpm but that isnt going to be the most noticable day to day. Rarely do i take the car to the redline unless on track. Midrange gains?
As good as you expected or less so?
Get the graph up then :party:

The main thing to remember with Johns car, is we got it going so well with the stock K04 to start with
112mph terminals at Inters this year to then find we had a pretty big boost leak after is something special !
Infact on the stock K04 I don't think anyone got near the power / torque figures or trap times this year
I think what we've achieved here now with the Loba is pretty good, you can look at this pessimistically and you'll see 28hp / 15lbft peak gain but look at it optimistically and correctly & you'll see 50hp / 40ftlb increase when the stock turbos dead
I understand what Si means regards how often are you at 7k rpm but seriously here were talkin about Hurdy not Miss Daisy!! & with no midrange performance sacrifice anywhere at all but massively faster at the top end real world!, this cars hungry for revs now with the same kick as before, I'd hope at Marham well be fast with this setup compared to any stock K04 4WD cars, past 80 mph it pulls big chunks from a stock turbo car I know this for a fact from the initial testing, remember we're in and out of these tuned all day long
I'm taking my Ed to Marham too so be good to see the difference between the two! Hopefully they'll be some Garrett turbo cars running there I'd like to compare the two when they can stretch there legs for longer than a 1/4 mile
I understand what Si means regards how often are you at 7k rpm but seriously here were talkin about Hurdy not Miss Daisy!!
Very interesting! Was hoping for more from that turbo to be fair. ( for the cost ect)

Thats my thoughts. This was the LOBA turbo im most interested in the results for.
I had expected more, especially with the RS4 injectors, which of course adds even more money to the setup. Surely this output is well within the working limits of the stock injectors?
I wonder how much it would make on Amd's dyno ;-)

I had told Steve that I'd be happy with an extra 30bhp at the top end.....I have 53bhp extra at 7k rpm's, so I'm very happy. Ultimately I would have liked the better spool to be more pronounced and maximum bhp to have been a little more than 28bhp and 15lbft over the K04, but this turbo does virtually exactly what we thought it would over what was already a maxxed out set-up on the K04. I've been in contact with Thomas at GIAC and he agrees that Statllers tuning results are exactly what they believe, that someone who wants slightly better than stock spool with more top end, but that is still within the safe operating parameters of the engine without all the hassle of a BT kit and upgrades they need to get the most from them, should be looking at the L0400.
Remember on Awesome GTI's dyno on the K04 the car made 393bhp and (ahem!) 462lbft, so if you add the gains to those figures you are talking 421bhp and 477lbft! The full fat APR stage 3 kit on the new file makes 455bhp and 465lbft. Admittedly I'm running WMI, but even without it peak figures would still push to over 410bhp on Awesomes dyno.
People who were looking for miracles need to look elsewhere :laugh:

They have had it recalibrated. Its slightly more accurate so it would read around 680Hp at the most

oh no, decision time lo400 my eddie or save the 3k plus towards next car/rooney-esque hair transplant :signLOL: :evilgrin:

Whats the difference between your gearbox and his? The DSG took his Stage 2+ Nitrous setup last time. Surely is not as horrific as that. that was over 500lbft on the nitrous!! or have i misread your post?
He launches with AWD about ten thousand times a week that's all
How much is the whole Loba 400 package on the Ed30?
The APR GTXX Stage 3 kit fitted with Intercooler and Exhaust, fuel pump works out at nearly £10k!
I was very interested in your results which look fab IMO.....great for top end puch for track work.....it's a package I'd be interersted in......I've just fitted Clubsports and WALK on mine and although I'm on a very good GTI Engineering map which is very nice I will be looking for future power upgrades.
Interested in the costings.
I'll post em up after Marham Dom
Check my Facebook we just ran 425 at the wheels with my 4xx/Giac car tonight with some more mods!
John's runs well too, were pushing some pretty heavy boost through it, should be much much stronger past 100 this weekend

The 2.0tfsi turbo kit is 6k

Theres a sale on at the moment so its £6807.24
But still, its:
Base stage 3 Kit (£6807.24) + HPFP (£600) + TBE (£1100) + Intake (£380) + Intercooler (£600) = £9487 (£10243 out of sale) SO its still £10k for 430hp
Sy,
What software for £500 are u referring to, and what injectors cost £300?!? The RS4 injectors are a lot more!!

Does the Loba need a low fuel pressure tank upgrade?The LO400 doesnt, but the 4xx might do. Danish has had to fit one to his car iirc. Either way you can buy one from the change left over from the £300-4000 saving lol.
Stage 2 plus is what 600 map + 1100 tbe + 600 intercooler + 600 fuel pump + 380 intake = 2480 pounds for a true 340hp
Well, I'm back from a thoroughly enjoyable day. Achieved what I hoped for with a 16.39 30-130 run and a top speed of 162.99mph.
Steve Jr's ED30 was epically fast over the 30-130 at 12.35 and a good top speed of 171.19mph.
The weather was excellent apart from what we were told was a 30mph head and crosswind?! Probably knocked a few mph of the top speed runs. :wink:
Corner waited the car at 1487kg without me in it and a third of a tank of fuel.

genuinely surprised by the difference. Expected the GT28 to be a match tfor the Lo4xx especially with the flowed head etc. Didnt think hurdy's would have matched it. Granted his DSG will have helped out but its not a miracle gearbox, its not going to cancel out 50-80hpStage 2 plus is what 600 map + 1100 tbe + 600 intercooler + 600 fuel pump + 380 intake = 2480 pounds for a true 340hp

To do this conversion right though do you not need -
LO400, RS4 Injectors, TTRS LPFP, 3" Forge/VF Engineering MAF housing, GIAC map and E Boost controller. So that is a fair old outlay, not as bad if you are already with GIAC and still better value than APR
Thats the APR kit which includes software. If your already APR you can remove the full the software price iirc s that would be a £500 saving.
With the LO400 its just Turbo/Injectors afaik
so LOBA LO400 (£1700) + Injectors (£300)+ HPFP (£600) + TBE (£1100) + Intake (£380) + Intercooler (£600) = £4680 + software (£500) = £5180 for approx 400Hp
or
LOBA LO4xx (£2830) + Injectors (£300)+ HPFP (£600) + TBE (£1100) + Intake (£380) + Intercooler (£600) = £5810 + software (£500) = £6310 for approx 430Hp
No denying th LOBA has the VFM and bhp/£ areas well and truly covered
Not good numbers from APR at Marham in either of the classes :wink:
Very good mate, considering I only hit around 160 with a 2 mile straight starting at around 70/80 not 30, so very impressive for the LO400 :happy2:

Pleased with your results Hurdy?
the 4xx sounds interesting :drool: Will pop and see stevo as soon as I get back :drinking:
Or use REVOs stage 2+ race file that Alex has on his?
But the Evo has to change its gears manually and doesn't have constant boost throughout its runs
Also doesn't it depend if its a 5 speed or 6 speed box Evo?
The Evo also is less aerodynamic and creates downforce whilst the VAG's create lift.

Was you running race fuel Dan? If not then the results between you and Hurdy seemed about right to me..
Weight difference was within 60-70kgs. Hurdy's car was running at pretty much it's limit on the day (fuelling etc) and gearboxes will play a huge part in the times - especially if your changes were as bad as you say they were Dan :signLOL:

Don't forget Dans also has the flowed head etc for the full blown stage 3+ setup though. I would have expected it to fly past Hurdys tbh. What srt of time do stage 2+ K04s normally get?

just, just, JUST!! Yeh i'll give you that. haha! Just love it, i'd love it against a cocky jap guy in their evo thinking "it's a golf...simply".
Times are wicked aswell! Reminds me of my placement at ford with the STs (which ofcourse are nowhere near as good :smiley:)
LOL,
I always think relatively. Looking at Guy Hardings beast of a Golf R which does 10.8@128mph, mine is slow!
When I set out with my R project the aim was always to get to 400bhp without losing the lowdown grunt of the K04, whilst getting it to low 12's on the 1/4 mile and sub 4 seconds to 60 and sub 10 seconds to 100mph. Big ticks against all those targets and the only one I'd like to do now is beat my personal best on the Nurburgring. :smiley:

Well if you struggle to beat your time you could go balls out and try and beat it with the wheel bolts tightened up. :signLOL:
Needs a bigger turbo..... :popcornsoda:
Hi John,a shame we couldn't meet up while I was at Stattlers picking up my R(GIAC extreme & Dsg stg3)...maybe next time...my R is good but I do find it always quickly changing up to gear6 when I'm keeping it easy on D mode..is this normal?
Will be going up to Stattlers for the next round of mods in jan-feb(loba 400)so maybe we can meet up
and the only one I'd like to do now is beat my personal best on the Nurburgring. :smiley:

Does the VCDS read up to 312g/s? I thought it topped out at 250?
Lovley car btw, lots of very tasteful mods :drinking:
There probably is a way of calculating it on a diesel, but I've not seen it. :laugh:
Need to get there early to get a slot now as only one set of roller is running!
I'm on a piss up birthday do on Saturday in Whitby, so if I'm not there start without me!! :drinking: :grin:

It was a mis-communication.
mmmm mine has the pcv fix and not smoke at all other than slight black at rev limit??..i was talking to someone else at the meet and he said same so not just me.dont think im pulling your car down dude just an observation..Might be something to do with the different turbo??
My APR Stage2+ V3.1 smokes a little sometimesBy the sounds of what flatout is saying its a bit more than a little if he and somebody else noticed it?
So did the APR Golf R
yes it is a combination of running the higher boost on the controller along with the decat, PCV and the WMI which makes it run rich, hence the smoke. On the road there is only smoke when it has been ticking over a while and then booting it.

John I thought you ran leaner for more power when using W/M... :confused:
I'm considering WMI you have this kit don't you?
http://www.methanol-injection.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=28
Did you fit it yourself or get stallers to? Where did you put the activation sensor and where do you inject? I have the BSH/Revo throttle pipe so there are 2 ports I could use there? Or is there somewhere better?
Sorry for all the questions, but I know your the man for meth :)

Statllers did the install, but if you have the time and skill it isn't a hard kit to fit, just takes time.
The boost tap for the toggle switch was done off the end of the intake manifold where the cap off is for my PCV blank and I have a Revo boost tap at that point to plumb into.
The toggle switch is easily accessible in the small glovebox just below the right hand side of the steering column on my R.
I inject on the lower of the two ports in my BSH throttle pipe. The lower one is better as it passes the sensor to detect the cooling given by the evaporation of the spray and gives it time to mix thoroughly before going into the manifold.
Some people recommend having the throttle spacer and inject at that point, but I don't believe that you'd get as good a mixture and hence less benefit. :happy2:
Intake air temp sensor is in the inlet manifold above the throttle body. Spacer plate still injects before it. :happy2:
Loving the new 90mm downpipe.

Did you buy your kit from devilsown themselves or a dealer?
Hahaa, well done Rich. It is a resonated box made to resemble the cat. Should easily be able to swap in a cat onto it as the system is now being done with full 304 investment cast flanges.

Whats wrong with "old fashioned" machined flanges?
V band over laser cut 'investment cast' flanges any day of the week :signLOL:
Update....
The develoment exhaust should be completed over the next few days.
90mm downpipe, 76mm full system and 304 stainless system, full TIG welded with Stainless cast flanges plus titanium tips. Should sound well!!!
Also some doubters didn't believe my 8.55 second run to 100mph, saying it was downhill, so to silence them I did a downhill run....... :laugh:

Why not just proper big turbo instead of missing about with hybrids?

Just been debating the pro's and cons of going for an L04XX with Steve Jr.
Looks like this time I won't be resisting :signLOL:~.75 sec
I think around that too, with 120+mph terminals. 8)

Im surprised you never went straight to the LO4xx from the offset tbh.
Anyway when are they actually going to name the LO4xx? Surely enough have them now to replace those xx's with some numbers?
Do statlers not sell GT30s?? :evilgrin:
The L04XX has outputs ranging from the low 400's to almost 500bhp, so I guess the XX is a pretty good description :wink:
I wanted to see what the L0400 was like and Steve did too. aA great turbo and has quite a bit of extra punch at the top over a K04 without losing low down kick.
Why not REVO software and a GT30? or a GTx28 for K04 spool mated with either a GIAC custom map or an RTEC custom?
Do statlers not sell GT30s?? :evilgrin:
Yes, they now also deal with CTS kits - GTX3076R.....maybe after the L04XX :wink:

Well if that a serious plan.... And knowing that you're like you will... Just go for the gt30 straight off.
Unless statllers are basically giving you the LO4xx for "free"
I say try the Lo4xx and Loba flowed head with Rtech custom software.
Id be interested to hear how that went!!

Do as you feel John... but I would seriously think about just buying a very fast car instead of ploughing money into a car that will never be as fast as you really want it to be.
But a "Hurdied" LMAO... porker.. WOULD be epically quick... not just sort of quick! DO IT!! :popcornsoda:
Another 100kg out of the R and another 100bhp on it should make it pretty rapid. :smiley:

Cars looks lovely. I need to get mine somewhere nice for some scenic pics. Might nip upto Lochness for some. Ive just dont the Winter Protection on mine today, I was going to wax it, but i went for some Sonax Brilliant Shine Hybrid NPT. Insane levels of water sheeting and beading!!
I reckon you need to lose the stickers on the door, the colours just dont match the paint IMO.
Looks really good John, looks like LadyBower/Derwent Res?

Hurdy
Liking your transformation of the R.
I'm in the early process of sorting my Edition out. Was considering going stage 2+ with APR's new code when released for my car.....they are still finishing the code off for the Edition 30.
The LOBA kit fitted to your's like a nice package and I suspect it's much cheaper than the APR stage 3 kit.
How much was involved fitting it and what is the rough cost.?
Have you got any links to the dyno plots? I suspect as always with this much oomph 4WD is the way to go as I need all of the hardware for mine yet...ie fuel pump, DP exhaust etc etc.....not cheap but then again 370+ was unheard of a few years ago in a Golf. I was considering a 997 Turbo when at Combe a few weeks ago I had a go in one.....they seriously need to be tied down at the front or a suitable damper set up.....the front was like a cake mixer....wobbling all over the place. The 2 month V12 Vantage was a different story.
I went out in APR's Golf R last year at Combe which is a bit bumpy to say the least...it was so fast into Quarry it seriously needed Aero to hunker it down on track even though it had the VWR suspension set up....we were reaching 145+ terminal speed onto the rise with Keith driving on a damp / dry track....it stopped though. Haldex controller helped as did sticky rubber...lovely bit of kit though. I'm sure your's is similar.
So with a little more tweakage, setting and playing with the boost controller I decided to have a dyno run on a hub dyno to get some accurate hub/wheel HP. The dyno was a Dynapack, which is the same make/model that APR use to run their Golf R's on in the USA. The figures are at the hub, so basically whp!!!
Even a minimum 10% addition to these figures for drivetrain losses works out at 408+bhp, more realistically would be around 12-15% losses. The run was only done with 99ron and 50/50 water, methanol. The run also only went to 6200rpms and was still gaining power. When Rick tried to alter the dyno to use more rpm's the dyno didn't want to know, so there are a few more whp in the bag yet. For comparison APR stage 3 figures are shown under my graph and are 371whp and 394wlbft compared to my 371whp and 388wlbft.

The AET fan is awesome......it has a proper cell and almost blows you out of the door, in fact you can actually lean into the wind it generates. It eliminates wheel slip as the wheels are removed and the dyno packs are bolted straight to the hubs. :happy2:
You mean that perfectly legal test drive I took you on Steve? :innocent:

The Golf has a grown up, sophictsicated look to it. Naving naked carbon fibre panels goes against everything the golf is IMO. Nothing shouts Max Power more than a carbon bonnet!!
Its something i expect to se on Jap kit or Vauxhalls lol, or Mikes Cupra :innocent:

Painted carbon in my eyes is like buying the flashiest watch going and not showing it off.. Tbh you don't buy a part like that if your not going to tell people about it!!
And that steel grey one above with only the sides of the bonnet painted.. Now that is max power!
but people buy it for a weight reduction not always looks.. i do agree with keeping it raw though especially on a grey car

Osir carbon bonnet was not a fully carbon fibre was was laid over something else
Yes, ducting. I'm looking at some Carbon Fibre vents for the bonnet.

Because it wont run 500+...
Just lovely :wink: will you be fitting the bonnet catches to this one?Possibly, but only if needed. :smiley:
I have a weakness for carbon fibre bits :rolleye:
Sounds like 90% of the carbon bonnets I've had to fit over the years. Even your silver one on the ED30 needed some fettling to get right.
Proper stealth :happy2: pro race look awesome on it too. Picking a new set up Saturday myself :wink:
dont you dare spray that bonnet lol
looks mean :happy2:
Update.....
Nortech are finally ready to take my R in for some GTX30 loving. Booked in for a week on Monday, so now counting the sleeps. :smiley:
Then it is back to Statllers for some more goodies to be fitted, followed by a final tune and then ready for the show season. :jumpmove:

nice you going 76r and are you building the engine
76r will be perfect on road and race :happy2: but have you not considered 71r if your worried 76r will be to laggy for road?
you should definetly have your internals done though i think for peace of mind.. the way my car pulls on only 1.5bar i dont think i would be comfortable running it on a stock bottom end

Steve has been running his ED30 on stock internals for a long time with the L04XX on and ran it at 500bhp for trackdays and the pistons and rods were ok. This was on a CDL block like mine which is stronger than the normal GTI pistons and rods in the standard GTI. There's now a local S3 running 450+bhp on stock internals too. However I will be doing the pistons and rods eventually and most likely sooner rather than later........assuming I don't sell up and get a MKVII R. :innocent:
Yeah there are lots of big power tfsi mate especially overseas and they all seem to run strong on stock bottom end! I just didn't feel comfortable adding 300odd hp ontop my stock figures! The engine popped before I got a chance to anyway lol! You've done ur valvetrain already haven't you?
Also back to the old chestnut of which brakes to use. Quite tempted by the HPA brakes with the 4 pot rears that utilise the main caliper for the handbrake. Quite a decent bit of kit too. :drool: Not cheap though!! :surprised:

Any predictions on the vbox performance figures once the new turbo is on???
Same AP kit that Ian (Ironside) has would be a great setup for you. Dave does a 4 pot rear kit too, but you will need Alloy rear hubs.
Are you still running iron hubs and wishbones all round?

I'm discussing it on Monday. HTA3068 looks good. Just need to view a few comp. maps and confirm some specs. :happy2:
Did you spec the conical nut :driver:
Make sure you order the 360 hotside plate too. Also metal caged bearings.
What did you go for then?
HTA something.
isit me or are there posts missing? noticed it on my thread aswell?
and hurdy you will make 500 no problem on that turbo mine made just under on only 1.5bar and no wmi.. so plenty more room for more certainley without kicking the sh*t out the turbo like said anyway lol

More boost doesn't always mean more power. You might find that there is a point were adding boost wont add power, but creates loads of heat. I have an EGT gauge to fit once the new turbo goes on. Very important to monitor EGT's.

Not the usual Revo flame thrower software then :P
Yeah posts are missing.
Hurdy how are you going to meet your fuelling needs?
The dotted like can't be an 'extreme' file if only reading just under 320bhp?
The big turbo result is good though. Must go well on the road?
Nice how much boost1.6bar. :smiley:
hurdy the 67 is smaller than 71 right?Yes, ultimately the flow is less on the 67. The 71 will be slightly later in spool. The 67 should still be easily capable of 500+ bhp with hardware support. On a basic stage 3 set-up mid to late 400's meaning that it can be run on stock internals.
Going to be good on torque with the .63, but with all the engine work it will run out of puff at the top end. Great for a good kick. Honestly cant see it hitting 550 bhp without risking reliability, but 500 will be fine.
So its almost ready with the new setup?
Very nice, nortech made my mates 800hp evos exhaust system, also 3.5"Yes, Nortech make a lot of high end stuff including GT-R exhausts. Everywhere I've looked they get excellent reports. :happy2:
VBOX :party:
Nice happy for you man! Anymore pics
:party: :party: :party:
Sorry I couldn't pick up the other day John, look foward to hearing what this has done . It was mental even before the big T :laugh:
:worthless: And you know it Hurdy :laugh:
Great times there Hurdy, looking forward to the final results :)
Fast 0-100 there, will be good to see some 100-200kmh and 30-130 times too once she's finished.
The big turbo kit really brings the driver involvement right back up there on these 4wd cars doesn't it :driver:
Lovely build Hurdy...very envious!!
I rang Awesome last week....they done an APR stage 3 kit on a Golf R manual car I believe. I was interested in this GTX kit only if going 4WD as the ED 30 just wouldn't cope with traction. The fitted price was £12k but that was because it needed fuel pump exhaust etc etc. I thought that was a bit steep because that was without brakes, intercooler, suspension, clutch pack and labour, so you'll need to factor in another at least 6k if not more. That's a whopping 18-20k investment on the stock price of the car. A huge grin factor but I could't stomach that investment especially at resell time.
I'd like to do what you have done perhaps buying a cheaper older S3 but knowing how well you can get the Ed30 to track ready status with the right bit's ultimately you are limited to traction even with a dif but it is a cheaper option even running track rubber.recently.
Another option I had been considering was buying an B8 S4 and going stage 2 with a big brake kit. MRC tell me that 500bhp is achievable on a drive in drive out £1500 investment and a £2500-3k brake kit.....seems like a cheaper option. They didn't mention clutch prices or suspension if need!
Looking forward to your vids as and when you get them done!
Need pics of this manifold and video's of the car.
Now! :signLOL:
Great results Hurdy, amazing the amount of extra power and torque you can put through the mechanically standard block and gearbox.
Will you ever need uprated clutchpacks?

The torque is deliberately held back. On the L0400 turbo I was running 40lbft more and it was fine.
I cannot say how long the clutchpacks will last though. :driver:
Will you not be reving it higher than 7K? The engine is fine to 7.5K or does the power tail off?
I'm still trying to work out if I should go .63 or .80 hotside. My engine will rev to 8250 though.
Manifold?the OEM one is still as cool as a cucumber at 1.5 bar. THE HPA one will go on with a 70mm throttle body. :happy2:

My redline is 7450rpm Alex. The turbo was only just getting into its stride by 6700rpm where we cut off. It was gaining 35-40bhp per 500rpm and was increasing in ramp rate when Steve Jr let off the pedal. On the road when revved out it certainly doesn't tail off even at the redline. On a road car AR63. :smiley:
You running a larger than 2.75" maf tube?
I've ordered blue bits. Its ultra sexy. :love:
The clutchpacks on APR R car gave up in the end....there were also issues with excess heat in the box which they had to engineer out.....I know they mentioned it wasn't cheap but as they told me at Combe last year the car had been running hard for over 40k on the standard clutch packs with some serious abuse from their demo runs and track action....commendable considering it's 450+ output.
So, on a dry day....... :evilgrin:

Not a brilliant pic, but the torque curve is flat at 360lbft from 4000rpm to the cut off point.

It's hilarious how the APR gang are all over you on FB, They are the most ridiculous bunch of people. I can't believe that people can't see they use more energy to smuther other companies and potential customers than attracting new customers in their shop :stupid:
For those of us no longer on FB, please elaborate.
It is weird as it isn't running lean on VCDS logs. We live logged it at Statllers and it is on the rich side!
I love that torque line. It does need the sensitivity altering slightly looking at the results. Maybe I will look at reducing the sensitivity a little. :happy2:

whats the prob with the boost controller? jw as i have been looking at eboost 2?
whats the prob with the boost controller? jw as i have been looking at eboost 2?
I actually prefer the boost controller to control power outputs. I have 4 settings which dials in anything from 400bhp to 540bhp........daren't use the high one too often. Day to day I use the 430bhp setting. The higher the setting, the less lag the car has too...bonus. Then there is still the option of doubling up on those settings by being able to use the GIAC switchloader to swap from pump to race, which dials in another four degrees of timing and can be run with 99 ron and WMI, race fuel or race fuel and WMI. So how many different outputs would that lot give me?
F**k knows what the 540bhp setting would give me on the race map with race fuel and WMI......probably an exploding engine!! LOL :rolleye:
i was wondering what alex was agreeing on where on facebook is it?
The stock ecu can store different boost settings, just as a controller can. That's how mine will be done. Gives a far smoother drive on part throttle.
It's not all about boost either. Just look how Niki is getting 360 bhp and 380 lbft from only 23 psi. Be great to see what he could do.
Be nice to see what your egt's are peaking at. Like driving blind not knowing.
I'm deffo jealous you have got yours done so quickly. Wish I had the time to work on the vRS.

I did a 16.3 last year at the same event in my R. That strip is uphill for the first third of the way and so times are normally slower than on the flat, which my times were done on. :happy2: It is also why I haven't included any Marham times. :happy2:

So what's approx damage....did you commission Statlers to do the entire build. The APR buld can be done for a reasonable deal but I need to find an R.
Looked at the MK7 R today in Taunton....very nice and I'm sure it will be great tuning potential. Wonder what turbo these are running?? K04 or more? I suspect it will be a bigger turbo to get 300bhp out of the box on stock ECU.

looking at that timeboard! its quicker then alot of serious performance cars! from 60+ got some nice in gear accelleration aswell as 0-60!! i defo need to get one of these devices to see mine lol

Hi Hurdy, could you share a link for the coil packs you bought? Had a look on awesome and not convinced they are selling R8 coil packs as the ECS part number is different compared to the part number in the sale link from the mk6 forum above. Do you know if all red tops are R8 or not?
Thanks
Had my R8 coilpacks fitted for a few months now. Not noticed any difference in power but they look pretty lol.

They are the exact same as the standard coilpacks just red as far as i am aware.

what did you think of the RFD john? worth it?
Come on John, let's see the results... :smiley:
Nice meeting you at Awesome Hurdy.
Amazing results on stock internals.
Do you know said about the R1R tyres, done you know what sort of mileage you get out of them roughly? Just I'm going to price a set up soon.
What performance figures is Daves 6R making can't find a build thread for his car?
was nice meeting you yesterday dave,lovely motor,
fixed the pipe on the front and found it was better but didnt get anymore bhp just more torque m8 385 ft-lbs
lost a bit from last time though but Al did say ive got more low to mid range grunt now which is best :D
Ah sorry meant vbox times? See how it compares to yours.
ill speak to my chaps see if it can be added to the map.. last i heard revo hasnt got a file.. are your mapped in? ive seen a few running them not tuned for them and they work just need to wait for the car to warm up

They have got as far as removing the codes from my file, but not sorted the running. Would need to take the car over to them to get the rest of the file sorted. Map is being changed soon anyway so didn't want to waste their time.
is your wmi setup now john with the BT? any ideal what nozzle you got in there
cheers
Dunno wether to have it on mine or not :confused:

It is definitely not a necessity, but I suspect it is the reason mine runs smoothly under boost. It feels almost OEM++. :happy2:
I asked Awesome GTI to post me over a graph with the clutch torque on, rather than at the wheels. Here it is. :happy2:

Hi, on a Fwd car as always it will depend on how you use them. If it is purely for fast road use then they will last 6k+ miles on the front. Significantly longer on the rear. If you hoon it everywhere then I have know people go through a set of fronts in under 4k miles. On a 4WD car they will last a little longer on the front due to less wheelspin and a little less on the rear due to them being powered every so often. :happy2:

Well I just plan on the R1R's being trackday and summer tyres so 6k will be spot on.
Just another quick question are R1R's you have 88w because that's all I can find in 225/40/18? I've searched but can't find a lot of info on them, just people that say the load rate is wrong and shouldn't be used, but the way I see it is you have the 88w on your Golf R they will be fine on my soon to be stage 2 Leon.

F@ckinghell John...that's mega quick...why do u time it to 80mph & not 100mph?
Bloody can't wait to do mine
The torque curve isnt even a curve its just a 'level' :signLOL:
As mentioned about the new Formula 1 turbo engines. You don't have an accelerator pedal nowadays. Just a Torque Pedal.
Torque on or Torque off! Mental amount of torque in your graphs Hurdy! :happy2:
Hurdy, what boost pressure are you running? Car is mean as hell! :drinking:
Interesting! We are running our R's at 1.5Bar Boost on the GT28 Turbo Kit with ancillary mods and making around 331Kw and 550Nm.
They tend to run a 12.1 on pump fuel with this setup and low 11's on Race Fuel on the 1/4 mile so its really nice to get a chance to compare to an overseas vehicle like yours. Our record so far is a 11.6 on a stock Turbo on the 1/4 in an R on Race Fuel.
Keep up the great work John! Your car is very inspiring. :congrats:
will be a monster on track u planning on booking anything up at Combe?

Head and engine build, DSG cooling and Clutchpacks, extra breathing mods, direct port the WMI, I may well even go slightly bigger with the turbo. Another 100whp maybe and then that is it. :innocent:
About as fast as a cabriolet then? :laugh:
I've been in an APR stage 3 R and comparing one to mine is like comparing a stock R to a stage 2+ R.Sy, imagine the parts bin I still have to fitHalf assed approach there hurdy, we all know if your going to go all out you also need to go nitrous again!

On a serious note, how is the gearbox? This must now be nearing or surpassing the absolute maximum the DSG box can handle, are you goiing to have to uprate it internally? JC done some superfinishing on his DSG didnt he?

Woukd the rs4 injectors alone not be enough for the 71r capabilty do you not think john? Or you planning going bigger turbo again?At my level of tune the RS4 injectors are ok. Whether or not they will be good enough to run the HTA3071 to its maximum remains to be seen. There are a lot of rumours, myths, urban legends etc about what different types of injectors will flow on the TFSI and the only real way is to try a set and see how they perform. :happy2:
Wow...cant believe its holds 2700+ Mbars for so long into the rev range, must feel awesome.
2780 - 1000 (Atmospheric Pressure roughly) x 0.0145 = 25.81 PSI :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Update....
Did a few logs in the last few days and found out the MAF maximum reading is 364.08g/s. The GIAC map I run is scaled based on a larger MAF diameter which I am also running. The cross-sectional area is 10% larger and so I'm guessing that this scales the MAF reading by 10%, which basically gives 400g/s. Hopefully after this the map adjusts.
Quick shot of the log.

I thought yo would have been running the rail pressure at a higher value tbh. The APR Stage 3 setup uses around 150bar iirc
I think we will stick with a lower fuel pressure and go for 8 injectors and a controller instead. Sky's the limit then. :happy2:
Puts extra stress on other parts like the HPFP though.I think we will stick with a lower fuel pressure and go for 8 injectors and a controller instead. Sky's the limit then. :happy2:

Puts extra stress on other parts like the HPFP though.
But if they are designed to run above 150Bar why not run the pressure at say 145Bar leaving plenty of headroom? Look at the difference between a stage 2 and stage 2+ K)4car, surely there are big gains to be had especially at your level of tune.
Id have thought you would need a higher rail pressure in order to run 8 injectors anyway as your essentially doubling the amount of fuel that can be injected.
Is there a need to run it at 155bar though? I'm running more power and still at 135bar with no issues.
Is there a need to run it at 155bar though? I'm running more power and still at 135bar with no issues.
Main reson for the higher pressure seems to be to avoid running the RS4 injectors and stay with the S3 injectors with the right spraypattern. APR claims that S3 injectors supports up to 500bhp, i assume that's with higher high fuel pressure
Is there a need to run it at 155bar though? I'm running more power and still at 135bar with no issues.

More headroom. No smoke.
If you can use higher pressure then you might as well.
What happened yesterday john? And what you having done
I'll be sticking with 135 bar after what I saw yesterday!!! :scared:
I understand the "stop" part but the "go faster" part sounds scary. :scared:

Which master cylinder you using John?
:happy2: interesting. My pedal feels great (only 4 pot). I'm concerned about the pad not releasing quick enough on the oem MC and accelerating pad wear though. Does the R have the same MC as the ed30?

I'd have to look on ETKA. The OEM brakes on the ED30 are smaller than the R, so maybe a different MC.

Defoo keep the lambo logo! You planning anything for the rears?

Yes, I'm going with some TTRS 335mm rears. Keeping the OEM calipers, but painted and swapping the carriers to fit. :happy2:

Yes,
but its not a lambo lol. Id get an R logo or brembo//AP/Alcon or what ever they are.
They do look awesome in Yellow though. What size discs?

No, it is quicker than a Lamborghini. :wink:
Off hand I don't know the diameter.
Them brakes are truely something else keep them as is mate
Still not a Lambo though :innocent: IMO its like a normal GTI putting on an Ed30 badge or an R badge
Not quite Sy, although everyone is entitled to their opinion and in this case it is mine that counts. :P
Well what about all the guys who use RS (TTRS RS3 etc) calipers on GTIs...
Well what about all the guys who use RS (TTRS RS3 etc) calipers on GTIs... should they remove the RS as its not an RS. If Hurdy wants the kudos of Lamborghini decals on his RS4 calipers then so be it. :happy2:

I'm rocking S3 badged calipers on my ED30, it's all part of the look Sy :P
Hurdy - when is the engine build?? Or have I missed it? :laugh:
Injector flow?
Stock = 1080 cc/min
RS4 = 1091 cc/min
S3 = 1217 cc/min

You can't just fit TTRS carriers with 335mm discs.
The adaptors only work with TTRS alloy hubs. They are completely different to the S3 alloy hubs.
Or am I missing something?
Nothing wrong with having a Lamborghini sticker on the calipers. Adds scene points.

You must be missing something as Steve has already done a test fit and it works on the R. :smiley:
Are you calipers on yet Alex?
I'm not giving half a story Alex.
TT rear carriers, A8 335mm rear discs, stock calipers fitted up to the stock R hubs. :happy2:
Thanks for clearing that up guys. I think I was frustrating Alex a little there without meaning to. :smiley:

so your running 2.0bar now john? and it made 500?
500bhp on the nose?? :popcornsoda:

How do you go for more power with the MAF sensor maxed out? Do you have to go for a bigger MAF that can read higher?

There are a few options, but the car will still make more power towards the redline. It is just that the MAF cannot recognise any extra flow.
Scaling the MAF in the map is one way, a MAFless map is another. :smiley:
Have you looked at TEFF's thread for inspiration or does 586bhp not appeal? :driver:
500bhp on the nose?? :popcornsoda:
On the lower setting and just making 364.08g/s at the redline on Statllers dyno it made this.......

Very very nice John,is it the ghost knit spoiler?
Love the carbon spoiler, was it a good fit? I'd have one but I'd be too worried about it getting ripped off. :ashamed:Yes Mandy, it was a good fit. The 3M tape that comes with it doesn't cut the mustard though and I bonded it. You can probably pick the car up with the spoiler now! LOL. :laugh:
Need a side shot of it. Where did you get it from John? and how much?
Beautiful car, I do like the understated look. Must be so much fun with AWD :laugh:

Do you think you're running very close to the OE limit of the DSG box now??
Interestingly, you're times for distance or speeds are with a full interior. How much time would you gain by stripping your car down do you think? Worth a few tenths or more?
There can't be anything left to do surely :laugh:
Cracking car John :happy2:
What are you having done? Or is it a surprise?
She's coming along nicely John and no doubt will be in the 10 sec club at Inters (I'm assuming that is your target?).
Are you there for the whole weekend? Me and my mate are heading down on the Sat for a day out, so will hopefully see you there. Just hope we don't get too may funny looks rocking up in a BM and Merc. :scared:
I am having the oil dropped on the the Merc at Statllers next Monday lunch. You about at all?
New clutch packs before inters??
Will they need bedding in before the strip to get the best launches? I suppose you could put an a couple of hours aside in the week to do a couple of hundred launches :signLOL:
Can you take some pics of the OE clutch packs when it's opened up for the upgrade think many would like to see how they look after they've been Hurdy'd over the last 2 years? :happy2:

Well, what a turnaround.
Decided to run the R today. Took it steady, or so I thought. Swapped to pump map and lower boost, plus a FULL tank of 99ron and ended up doing an 11.33@125.0

Is it enough of an upgrade to be worth the effort?
Didn't realize that was a bit ambiguous, I meant to go for the 7R, the 6 is what 5 years old? So not exactly an old car and would be a shame to see such a weapon dismantled. The 7R wouldn't have many benefits over the 6 and personally I would Much rather have a 600+HP golf that could beat supercars.Is it enough of an upgrade to be worth the effort?
Hi Dan, do you mean upgrade the MK6 or upgrade to a MK7?
The MK6 upgrade would take me to 600+bhp, but cost probably almost 5 figures to get there as it would need an engine and transmission build plus a larger blower.
The MK7 upgrade would get me a new car and over 400bhp and would probably cost around the same after selling my MK6.
A reliable 600+bhp R32 with DSG would cost more than a 600+bhp MK6 R.Fair enough, haven't really done much research since its miles out of my league ATM :laugh:. Either way we all know whatever you get next will be a weapon before long :happy2:
I know what is involved as I work for a HPA dealer. :wink:
Was thinking the exact same from reading the R400 thread... If that indeed has a bigger turbo than the 7R, then it could be an absolute animal... And how unique.
it could be many years before there getting big power out of this new engine
untill someone develops a turbo kit
Surely the Mk doesn't really matter if numbers are your intention?
GTX4202R (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUkSFi2NhT0&t=1m38s)
Very impressive build, could you tell me for you personally why you run a PCV blank over a catch can? Thanks :smiley:
Feel any different john?
Wait and see if the R400 actually gets released.
He hasn't been on this forum for a while
When are you building the engine John? I don't know how you can sit in that office staring at parts all day and not buying any :innocent:

Road fuel?! That's like buying a tailor made suite fore £1000 then wearing trainers with it.
I will be happy with a real 400bhp.
Only 400bhp. I can't believe you will stop there John. :wink:
This is Hurdy - he wont stopat 550bhp. Lets humour him for a bitthen remind him of this when he is at 650bhp.
Please sort this out a beat this fastest golf r and don't even look good
Tagged you in that video on FB John :signLOL:
He is only running a "28" turbo too. . . :indifferent:
I thought you had upgraded the clutchpacks - have you gone back to stock?
Pft, Alex over at AKS has one of these already... Boring! :P
Totally not feeling like the weak, skinny kid in the school changing room with my K03 turbo engine...
:sad1:
Anymore details on this turbo John?On the compressor side they have a crackle glaze coating, on the exhaust side they have a ceramic heat coating and on the intake side they also have a Venturi feed to aid the flow and speed of the air into the turbo. No specific details on how much better the spool is or any top end, but a revision like the Venturi is a big one and wouldn't have been adopted if it didn't make a decent difference. :happy2:
Would it be more laggier?

Well done for recording it on your phone, I wouldn't have even thought of that.mI've thought about a dash am a few times and this may just edge it for me.
You hear horror stories where people have time to think and then deny they reversed into you.
Another reason to get a dash cam fitted, mine was pennies and does the job.

You think you'll have a crack at the autobahn?
Sorry about your weather but still a nice trip, have you sorted the issue with Ian's car?The car should be in the UK now, but we still need to identify the cause of the failure. :smiley:
Okay dude, i'll check it out :happy2: Definitely going to make the effort and go this time! :smiley:Went there too spag Bol is epic!!
I usually go to Pinocchios in Adenau most nights as their pizzas are epiiiiicc!! lol
Wicked write up and pictures mate, looks like you had some fun! Mate of mine had a close call in his saxo on the ring this weekend as well! http://www.carthrottle.com/post/6WYxNe/ (http://www.carthrottle.com/post/6WYxNe/)
Looks like a nice trip. Shame about Ians R but hey ho things happen, fix it up and do the same again :)
Fasssssst. Getting so close to that 10 now mate. Dare say it won't be long until you hit it now. New clutch packs :happy2:
Hmmmmm, debating selling up and going for an S4..... Must be getting old!
You need to do a 10 first otherwise this was all a wasted excersise.

Too big for the garage the Rs6.You need to do a 10 first otherwise this was all a wasted excersise.
Gotta agree with the trumpet player John :happy2:
ANNNNNND, what happened to your plans for a 7R? Seriously though, maybe an RS6 Avant and 'Hurdy' it :jumping:

Probably because just a remap and smaller pulley will see 450bhp :laugh:
Once ur clutches are replaced Jon that should b achievable right ??Yes, definitely. :happy2:
What clutch upgrades are there for DSG and when do they need to be considered worth doing?
Out of those, which clutch packs would you go for? I'd think about HPA so I can also get their big trubo and inlet upgrades as well.

Well, I'm lead to believe that for up to stage 2+ (so around 360-380bhp), the stock setup will be able to cope well enough.
Quickest time was 11.20 and fastest terminal was 126.03mph.
Full weight, spare in, suitcase in, laptop in, 3/4 tank of 99 Ron onboard and a big fat driver in the seat! :laugh:
Not on the new mapping. Best to date has been 11.02.Quickest time was 11.20 and fastest terminal was 126.03mph.

Been tempted to try a run with everything out, including the back seats? See what the very limit of your engine can do?
Now in the cars for sale section.The end of an era! Going for an S4 then?
Well you might not have made the 10s but at least you break the 200page mk5golfgti.co.uk record :signLOL:
So S4 and a 'few' choice mods? :driver:

LOL...200 pages!!
Yeah, S4 is my favourite at the moment. Just the pulley mod, intake and mapping gives over 440bhp on the dyno. :happy2:
Why not just buy the Rs4 , a year older maybe which will outdo the s4.. Didn't you do the same sort of idea with the Lexus?
Why not the R400 Golf out of the box and just enjoy it John?

A new RS4 would be out of my price range.
The R400 is an option.....if it happens. In the meantime an S4 is looking good. :happy2:

I would have thought an RS3 with that 5pot would be right up your alley. Unless you're like me and don't really like the shape, I love the TTRS but don't think i could own a TT.
f*ck that,nah I mean like a 2012 one. Arnet they about 25k ish now?Old technology and wooden handling...sweet noise though, but have you heard my R? :wink: :innocent:

John,What did u buy?a s4? Or a rs3?
Oh, just thought that I would mention that my turbo kit is available as the last buyer fell through. :sad1:
The kit comes with the Owen Developments M-Spec HTA3071GT turbo, TIAL 0.63AR housing, Turbosmart 44mm External wastegate, oil pipes and connectors, Nortech tubular exhaust manifold with billet collector, downpipe into the turbo from the intake, Nortech Downpipe with integrated screamer pipe connection (quieter than an open screamer pipe).
If you have a MKV or MKVI 2.0TFSI golf then the kit is available for £2,500. If you have a Golf R MKVI then the kit comes with a decat and rear Nortech exhaust with Titanium tips at £3k.
P&P would be extra and only available in the UK.
500+bhp capable turbo.
Awesome price for some top spec stuff. :happy2:

where or who got the beast of a turbo anyone from this forum ?
I know this is an old, like me, thread...and John Hurdy has probably answered this for me before; but I swear I had seen somewhere some had tested how much HP can be made using the stock air-box and performance filter with the EA113 engine. Anyone seen this discussed or know first hand? Not really seeking guesses, I just respond to some asking this question with "I believe I recall some saying near 400 BHP, but not actually able to get to 400." I would like to have my memory refreshed...thank you.
