Initial Post............

The car is obviously Steel Grey
5 door
DSG
has 5.5k miles on the clock.
1 previous owner from new who chopped it in as his wife was expecting/just had twins.

The car has Satnav, phone prep, Dynaudio speaker upgrade, front and rear parking sensors (for the missis!  :laugh: ) leather and even a rare option of a sunroof. I know this car is never going to be the lightest car, so an extra kg or two for a sunroof ain't going to matter too much. 19" talladega alloys (will get chopped for some 18's). The only extra's I would have liked was the ACC and cruise, but the former can be fixed with Bilstein's and the latter is an easy fix.  8)

I've already ordered a few bits.....

Airtec Intercooler on the current group buy on this forum.
New OEM hpfp and Autotech internals

The plan is to upgrade the car step by step until eventually i will have the new Loba L04XX turbo and supporting mods. My local tuner (Statllers) currently have a development one on their Edition 30 DSG and it is running 450+ bhp. I will be happy with a real 400bhp.


Here are a few pics from the dealer.

Are you planning on using WMI on the R?

Yes, the WMI will be taken out of my Polo GTI, converted to a 4 point direct port injection system and fitted to the .:R I reckon I may need a bigger bottle though! :laugh:

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.

The sunroof will stay as it is. I like them if the car comes with one, but personally wouldn't have added it to my options list if I'd bought one new.

 I can regard it as an extra emergency escape hatch :signLOL:

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)

Excellent. I've a library of wheels for the Mk5 (no Forged CCW's tho  :drool: ), and all the mods in my signature that I'm hoping will transfer over. Do you know if the exhaust will transfer from a mk5 to a mk6?

I think we'll see page 10 before you get your car Hurdy. By then we'll have it all planned out for you.  :wink:

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!?

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 .

I have been treated really well by the guys at BCS.
Great comms, talk to you like their your friends.
I paid FULL price before anybody thinks I have an other motive.
I was disappointed by the Milltek I had, the cracking (and not as in Wallace and grommit cracking cheese) DP that I had to get welded by Alex at AKS upset me from day 1.
I hear they are no better these days.

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!

Is yours like this John?….

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:

I thought of several other cars, but it always came back to the Golf R.  :smiley:

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 ?

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.

after our conversation as pod i was wondering how long it would be before you added a R to your line up.

will watch this very close as a R+lo4xx is very likely to be my next project

you fancy another meet at pod soon?

The APR one sounds great, the scorpion sounds good too and their workmanship quality is better than millteks imo and its cheaper. Then theres BCS, again cheaper than milltek also.

Typically scorpion and bcs seem to let you customise the system to your choice. I think scorpion are also considereing a Ti version

More info on my build thread but I am loving it.

A lot less 'chavvy' than the full open intakes, and the Twintake, but I also have the open Maxogen for RR days/Trackdays/1/4 mile days.

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

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.

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
Nige

I think Milltek also use Camcoat but I'm not 100% sure - Would need checking.

Either way, they're not like Lee chungster's.

I know from previous experience that the Evoms makes good power, as do the ITG and Forge Twintake systems.

Anything new out there?
I know your dirty little secret :jumpmove:

So either a 2.5 RS engine, BSH WOA or a APR Stage 3?

There is some stonking 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.

I've been repeatedly mulling this over...................

What level should I go to with the Golf .:R?

I know I have a reputation for going a bit further than most people would do with modding, but perhaps this time I should "just" go stage 2+?

Turbo-back exhaust
Intake
remap
Aftermarket HPFP

and should that be it?.......or.......add suspension mods?

Then I went out in Steve Jr's car again!!!!!

WOW!! The noises it makes and the response! :drool:

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.

So what are your first impressions John?

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:

Right then, on with the show!

First mods are already planned and on their way.

Already bought the Autotech internals and HPFP (be here Monday)
Evoms intake - gave very good gains on the ED30 and sounded lovely.
Milltek TBE - currently in discussion with someone, but will be on the car by mid September.
RS4 valve - to be put on at the same time as the HPFP upgrade

These should allow me to go straight to stage 2+ although I'm still looking for a DSG remap and Revo may not be able to supply me, so the only other company i know that does them is MRC Tuning, but they only do the DSG map with an engine map, so I'm torn as I haven't heard any reports about what their engine maps are like. I'm even considering GIAC as they may be able to supply a DSG map too. Also have to consider the fact that the Loba L04XX will be going on at some point and currently only GIAC and Revo have any kind of software in development.

Decisions, decisions!

Any advice here on the DSG map would be appreciated. :happy2:

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.

Are MRC sure they have the right tools for the newer DSG? JBS could do it lol they have the tools.

In the TTRS world the two fave tuners atm are MRC and APR. APR say the DSG can be manipulated up to a point via the ecu without mapping the DSG itself.


But yeah if MRC can do it they can also map your lo4xx

Earlier in this thread, John asked about MRC and I responded by posting about a couple of highly modified Audi S5's I 'met' yesterday. Then a couple of you suggested MRC were no good. The S5 drivers would obviously disagree with you, so on what basis do you think MRC are "poo" and "underwhelming"? They may well be but it might be more helpful for folks to know why.

....I always get mixed up between Jabbasport and JBS. One of them has a very bad reputation according to lots of posts on this forum.

Surely it makes best sense for John Hurdy to go with a remap that Statller work with as he is close friends with Statller and trusts them. Also, they happen to be only a few miles away.

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?

Ooh, now I knew Stertman was running the Loba turbo and using GIAC ECU software, I didn't know they had cracked the DSG software too. Statllers are also a GIAC dealer. I wonder if they could bag it for me. Could be that they had to send the mechatronics to the USA to flash it though!

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.

Well, I was reading about Milltek's Golf R in Nov 2011 edition and lo and behold I found that JBS can do Golf R DSG mapping!

Phoned up and sure enough they can. Now do I remap now with the DSG map or wait for Giac's offering out soon? Hmmm :confused:

If you want a full blown stage 3 box map, have steve whip your mech unit out and get it to the states. Its only a one week turnaround. :happy2:

Belated congrats on the Golf R!  I love mine.  Don't fret about the DCC, I liked it better than the standard suspension setting but when I went to proper coil overs, it was just an annoying flashing light that had to be coded out.

Regarding the DSG software, CMD released the flashing tool awhile back so you'll see a lot of remaps available for it soon I'm sure, that's who GIAC uses for their DSG stuff.  I've driven a car with Custom Code's DSG map on it and didn't see anything wrong with it.  Worked well with our Stage 2+.

The GTX2867 on mine makes 400 lb ft and 404bhp and the car is quite fun as you can get the rear end to wiggle a bit and it will drift out of corners in 2nd under hard acceleration.

You will want something done to the DSG or ECU though when you get a bigger turbo on it as it needs a higher launch.  From the dyno's I saw of the loba you might want to ask CC or whoever if they can set it to 4500'ish rpm's for the launch.  I am waiting for the boys back home to set mine to 4k but they are doing it on the ECU side.

CC had the rev limiter and shift point set to 7400 which is good for a bt but I would ask for just a touch less, maybe 7100 or 7200 as our race cars have buzzed engines with rev limiters at 7300, those are manual transmission cars though and with DSG you can't release the clutch and have your foot on the gas creating a mechanical over rev like you can with a MT so it may not be that much of a concern.

It will be nice to see how yours does, will you be going to the Pod with it?  I didn't feel my 12.2 was anything spectacular, a little better than expected but without DSG software or any spin on the launch.  A little bit of spin is good.  My 60' was 1.8x so you should be able to shorten that a bit with a slightly higher launch on the k04.  I've driven HPA DSG mapped cars that launch at 4k on the K04 and with a pbox on the street we were seeing 1.7x 60's.

The DSG hasn't complained much with that power but I suspect the dual mass flywheel is going to let go at some point.  The Stage IV Golf R in Australia lost the DMF at ~500bhp after a a few launches and track days.

The only reliability issue I've experienced was a failed AC compressor a couple of hundred miles ago, I'm at 50k miles now.

The Haldex controller makes a HUGE difference on the circuit so you might want to look at that soon.  It significantly changed the ability of the car to rotate with throttle application and allowed me to fix a lot more mistakes, lol, when before it was just turn in late and let it understeer out to the curbing.

If we see each around be sure to say hello and I'll let you have a go in my R.

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)

Post by: Hurdy on September 04, 2012, 12:41:47 pm
Dunno, probably about a 14 dead as stock.

Just been out for a play today. The Revo went on down at Statllers and had a little play to get her set up right.

Took the car out with the performance box and using launch control ( oh how I missed it! ) I managed the following. Bear in mind this is JUST a map at stage 1......

APR's car managed 3.5 to 60mph in the damp at Bruntingthorpe with JonnyC at the Helm. So I'd be looking for similar at stage 2+ on normal fuel without WMI or a DSG map.

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?

S-tronic is 'Audi' for DSG. Although i presume there are different versions of that now (i.e dry and wet clutchpacks)

I know that Rich, but when I was looking into getting an S-Tronic S3, even though there were DSG maps available, there weren't any S-Tronic maps available, so there must be some difference
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: SteveP on September 04, 2012, 06:42:51 pm
There are two main types of DSG as I understand it, the earlier Mk5's (upto the 09 run out cars like the Pirelli etc) use the older protocol and have plenty of remaps available for them, the newer boxes (Mk6 Golf GTI, Golf R and facelift S-Tronic S3) are on the newer protocol controllers and can be remapped but people like Revo still haven't released anything for them. The options at present for these are from the likes of HPA but as Keith said earlier in the thread this is going to change towards the end of the year with more becoming available.
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: George on September 04, 2012, 07:06:06 pm
Thanks for clearing that up Steve,

Do we know what the differences are? If there any any differences, they might be exaggerated post remap!

Being realistic, I doubt any of the differences will effect the end users  :happy2:
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: geordie56 on September 04, 2012, 07:09:55 pm
George, if you go on Hpa's website it details exactly what each stage of map does to the box, or you can depict with Hpa's directly what you want to achieve from the box. So depending on what you use it for, it can make a hell of a difference. :happy2:

Yep, currently I'm stage 1 and now with an Evoms Intake.

I know it is basically the same engine as the ED30, but don't know exactly what revisions have been made apart from the .:R has the S3 intercooler and a revised PCV system.

This is the hot 'car of the moment' car thread on here isn't it.
Must admit I catch up with it each night, especially now the new baby is here and getting modded.

Feel a bit sorry for other cars listed in 'members rides', but then again this is gonna be the one to watch 'it go'.
And I guess those of us without an R are watching in awe.

Enjoy the ride.

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

Dave, they do make the coiloverdampers but you have to buy the springs seperately, also they are not TÜV approved, which is the reason for me not chosing them over the Bilstein PSS10 B16.
But they are an excellent bit of kit the öhlins

The spec sheet for Wigit's car at the VW Festival Malvern stated Revo Stage 1 330bhp  :surprised:

Revo say 300bhp on an ED30 but I doubt that too.

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.

Me and mike were the same.  We tried a full bore launch wth APRs Golf with  full interior and 3 of us, and it did a 4.4 lol, completely amazed by the grip level and outright aggressiveness of  the DSG launch

I think its fair to say you wouldnt go back to a big power FWD after having the haldex.  I second Keith on the haldex controller as well.  Not sure what it was like before, but that Golf flew around round abouts and you could get on the power SO early it was unreal.

The day was great. The organisation was spot on and the weather and company couldn't have been much better.

The "R" is a wallowy beast compared to the Ed30 and the Polo and probably Curby isn't the best track for it as it cannot really stretch it's legs and use all the power. I haven't got a clue what times I did apart from the 30.6 I did with TFSi Mike in the passenger seat. The video looks like a 30 second flat lap, but beyond that I don't know as the results haven't been posted yet. The "R" was two up with even the spare and tools onboard for all bar two laps, and three of those two up laps were probably slower as Mike and I couldn't help but try the launch control :laugh: :driver:

There was some serious kit there and I'd guess next time out I'll chop a fair bit off the times as I've only had her 10 days and still getting to know her. :love:

You can calculate the 30-50 and 50-70 times from the racelogic pic.

So, I went down to Midland VW today and saw Chris (Topher off Golfgti.co.uk) and had the DSG map (Custom-Code.....rather good map too  :smiley:) and HPA Gen4 Haldex remote race controller fitted. Great day out fiddling about with the car and customising the individual settings in the DSG map was great. Cannot fault the guys at Midland VW at all.

Came back early afternoon to do a little bit of testing with the Racelogic Performance box. The DSG map and Haldex controller have improved things slightly.......

Times done at the same place for consistency......

0-100mph in 10 mph increments....

I can't imagine what Stefan's (TEFF's) car will be like, but I'm in a happy place at the moment

Stage 2+ should make quite a bit of difference to the 0-100 time and the 1/4 mile, but I doubt that there will be as much of an improvement on the 0-60time as I think most of the work has already been done for that now. :happy2:

They are getting lower mate..  :happy2: Now stop cheating with the LC and get some 30-130 times done..  :signLOL:

Did some digging and found your old Ed30's times from your Vbox runs..

S2+

S2+ with 100shot of mental gas  :laugh: :surprised:

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?

The Milly is still on back order  :sad1: so I'm waiting for the next batch to be made.

Ahh yes I remember those figures, done at the same spot I did the .:R runs, so directly comparable.

Stage 2+ on the .:R should be under 9 seconds with the better launch.

No nitrous this time, it will be water methanol injection. Guys in the USA are getting over 400bhp with the stage 2+ and WMI combo! :surprised:

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:

From your sig I'd say the brakes, RS4 valve, Autotech HPFP, XB brace (possibly not the UB Brace due to transmission tunnel). ARBs may fit too, but I doubt the B12 kit will be the same (or at least the spring rates). :happy2:

A few people can't quite believe that the .:R is so fast with just a stage 1 map and a few bolt-ons and even suggested that the runs may be "downhill"!

So I did a few private downhill runs using the same launching method and these were the results.

3.5 seconds for 0-60mph
12.2 second 1/4 mile whilst braking through at the end!
8.9 seconds 0-100mph (the pic showing this also shows my Vmax (106.2) before braking through to the 12.2 1/4 mile)
3.1 seconds 30-70mph

This is the reason i don't like dsg no input from the driver it's just foot down let the car do the work but if you are just after numbers then yeah it's great but I will like to see this done with the correct box where the driver controls every gear change and rev.

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.

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

Well if we discount any traction issues, with a manual R, the only difference post launch would be gearchanges, so if your lovely R will do 3.5, two half second changes would burst 5 second bracket I'd say, as a guess.
That said the previously posted vid of two Japanese drifters changing gear (trying to match DSG times) and slamming home very swift changes was probably better than 0.5 secs/change.

This either sounds like a challenge for EVO mag, or 5th gear. Anyone know Tiff's number?

Of course my thoughts could be a load of old bullocks, as they say down the farm..

BTW Black badges look cool, anyone ordered any Mk 5 versions yet? (if they do them..)

Very impressed with the developments here John.

Is it safe to say it's roughly at a similar performance par to the 'HGP Golf R' out there? This is the one that sticks with E60 M5's and C63 AMG's in a straight line, rolling starts. I think it runs about 420hp.

I was going to link to some bits of it on the t00b but they're all drags done on regular roads so not ideally suitable.

cheers john, up to 360bhp now so called it a day.

sorry to ask a mundane, practical question in such an exciting thread but is the boot capacity of the R only 275 litres against the Gti's 350 due to the 4wd? does it look noticeably smaller?
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: Hurdy on September 16, 2012, 09:40:19 pm
The boot is shallower due to the 4wd transmission underneath it. It is the same for width and length as the GTI though. I prefer the shallower boot as there is less lifting over the sill for heavy objects. :smiley:

I have always dreamed about owning an Evo 8/9 with 400bhp, but many things have put me off, insurance costs, servicing costs, general maintaince costs, depreciation etc.

A tuned Golf R seems like a much better prospect, the handling and grip might not be right up there with the Evo, but for road use I'm sure a tuned Golf R would give you 95% of the thrills for a lot less money. Of course a Golf R at the moment is twice the money, when they do drop to the £15k-£17k mark I would be very tempted.

Although saying that, I would prefer an S-Tronic Facelift Audi S3 

Anyway, great work Hurdy, I'm enjoying watching the progress of this car as are many other members  :happy2:

I was told a few weeks back that it would be a month before they were back in stock. Hopefully this means the exhaust will be on before GTI Festival on the 14th and I will then be stage 2+.  :smiley:

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:

Power isn't the point, it is performance on road/track/dragstrip that I will be looking at.

Sub 3.8 seconds to 60mph.

1/4 mile at an official raceway of under 12.6 seconds.
30-130mph at Marham in less than 16 seconds.

Nurburgring B to G time of 8'10" or under.

The ED30 never did faster than a 4.4 to 60mph. On nitrous it did an 8.8 to 100. 1/4 mile fastest was a 12.8 at the pod. Never went to Marham in the ED30, but a stage 2+ ED30 has done a 16.4 30-130 at Marham. Nurburgring fastest in the ED30 was 8'09", but when I did the full trackday at the Ring the ED30 did a few sub 8' equivalents for the B to G.


The targets are initial ones and hopefully can all be done before June next year and then onwards to some different targets. :happy2:

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.

Just seen a 1/4 mile run of the APR Australia Golf R pull consistant 10.8's!  128mph terminals.

f*ck it, I'm going 4wd.

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. Managed to fit a full launch in to 60 and did a 3.6 straight off. The car feels MUCH stronger and as soon as I can do some runs with the PerformanceBox at the normal spot I think the results will be easily better.  :happy2:

John, when you say revised how new is that?

I recently, 2 weeks (ish), had a revised 2+.

I find it very smooth and not so aggresive, do you feel the same?

There is a thread in the Revo section of the performance section. The update is more than a few weeks old, so Id think you may already have it.

Don't think John would know the difference as he went straight to the brand new stage 2+ map
I'm thinking of going to the new map, but a bit concerned now you're saying its not that aggressive????
Did they change any of your timing, boost or fuel settings after applying it, or did they do any logs??
 :surprised:
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: Hurdy on October 05, 2012, 10:18:56 pm
Yes the settings were altered whilst on the dyno runs. VCDS logs were not, although I will do some myself. Steve Jr has already had a few cars on the dyno with K04's and the new revised map so kind of knows roughly where to set them to start with. The new map doesn't have as much of a torque spike and therefore has a couple of things different as a result.....

1. Feels more progressive than outright aggressive
2. Absolutely no dip in the power curve anywhere on the rev range, probably helped by the extra control of the torque spike which on the previous map had a tendency to cause a drop in the fuel pressure on both the low and high pressure systems just after the peak torque point.

I'd say the new map is better for the car and faster overall. This is based on my previous experience on the Ed30 at stage 2+ on Revo. :happy2:

Really though when I'm data logging I don't use a hard launch, only when performance logging. I've probably used full Launch control 30-40 times and it has always been gooooooooood.

Not sure if this has been asked before in these pages.

But I see Quaife have recently released a ATB diff for the Golf R.
What benefit would that give if fitted to a 4WD Haldex car, as I'm presuming it would be a front axle fitment, but happy to be corrected on that.

I guess it could turn the car into a WRC car for mixed surfaces, but I could be typing a load of cobblers on that..so wondered what people know on this.
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: Hurdy on October 10, 2012, 12:02:40 am
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.
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: vRSAlex on October 10, 2012, 08:18:49 am
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.

it goes to 320lbft at 3k rpm and then simply flatlines at that to 5800 rpm before dropping gradually to the redline. No torque hump around 3.5krpm or anything.  :surprised:

I will have a butcher's when the old lappie is charged.

It is deffo capped though as a 2007 s-tronic made 370+lbft on the same dyno just after mine with exactly the same mods and a DSG map with the torque limiter removed .......and still made 5bhp less than mine! and that had the "K04 hump" as normal. :smiley:

It is the torque spike that occurs at 3-4krpm. Normally peaks 20lbftish higher than the rest of the torque curve. Like below

So the gearbox says don't give me any more that 200NM. The engine then only requests 200NM and the car then makes 200NM.

I would expect that boost would be down on a comparable car that was supposedly running the same file.

Would imagine the problem is the DSG flash for sure, it needs more work on the TL's, (if that's possible with this company?)
It looked like a bone stock torque limit when we dyno'd the car
I would imagine all B-T-F parameters are being limited as the throttle may be closing to back the torque off

Thing is the car didn't really sound that aggressive on the rollers either, and we did run it quite a few times

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?

Post by: Statller-Stevo on October 11, 2012, 07:30:44 pm


I don't think its the Revo flash Alex, the manuals make much more torque as do the earlier DSG's, I've not really had time to get much data from Johns car as he likes me to work on it as he slowly drives it through the shop  'California car wash style kind a thing'
Most of the K04 converted cars I drive and dyno do tend to build a much lower torque to the redline than the factory K04 cars with the spike early on, I don't know if its built into the K03 to K04 flash to save the engine (obviously not a concern for you) but I agree mapped like that the 2WD's do get the power down nicely & are great for the track etc bit V-tech in delivery I do like it!  but the 4WD cars need the grunt

:Yes data logs would show all areas backed off in demand like I said prob due to the throttle closing, I would imagine that's how the torque management would work

Well I'm royally P1ssed off. After phoning JBS and them saying that they would look at the DSG map on Monday, James tried phoning me and then when I phoned him back he said that the problem is that I have Revo on the car and not their own Custom code Phase 2 engine software. That their will be a conflict between their DSG software and the Revo software and only C-C engine software would ensure that the DSG map would ensure that the torque wouldn't be limited. I asked how much their Phase 2 software would be and how much power it would give and they quoted 360bhp and 350lbft, so is it even worth changing for that as I'm getting a solid 320lbft  and 365bhp already. I have had C-C software at phase 2 and it isn't the strongest map on the block, so I don't want to go splunking another £600 for a product that I've had before and wasn't that strong.

To be honest the map is decent, but isn't as promised. on their own website it says......

"Custom-Code DSG Phase 2 software is aimed at drivers who demand the most from their cars. With the Phase 2 DSG software aimed at cars with more significant hardware modifications; Performance exhausts, supercharger and turbo upgrades and delivers an exhilarating experience when combined with our Phase 2 or 3 ECU software, with fully custom settings for launch control, torque settings and enhanced shift points to suit your vehicle set up."

Now when I went to Midland VW, they phoned JBS and actually asked if the map would be okay with my software and that the torque limiter would be uprated to the 550nm and Kevin at JBS said to Chris at MVW that it would be, which now isn't the case.

James at JBS initially told me that I should have both maps as they compliment each other and other maps wouldn't work as well, but I was Revo at this stage and so had Chris speak to JBS on my behalf and when Kevin at JBS confirmed that it would work regardless that is when I went ahead.

So, now I'm going to go with GIAC software as it is a true stand alone software, rather than what seems to be a solution based on compromises, which I'm not prepared to work with. I will be asking for a refund as I believe that the software isn't suitable for me and that it isn't as advertised or as I had been told it would work.

I've no doubt that the software may work with C-C's own software well, but it shouldn't be sold on their website as a stand alone solution. it should be on the same web page as their engine map as an add-on, explaining that it will not work fully without the C-C performance engine software.

There is a negative part of me that thinks that the torque limit was deliberately left in there by JBS as an excuse to get me to buy their phase 2 software as I cannot see how the Revo software would "conflict" to re-restrict the DSG torque levels, but I'm sure that is just me being negative.

No, I think whatever engine map (Barring C-C) I put on the car it would not resolve the torque limiting issue.

I will be going for a Loba upgrade next year, so it makes sense to go for the GIAC as by then both GAIC and Revo will have complete solutions for the turbo. C-C won't have even seen a Loba turbo.

John have you spoken with autograph tuning in burnley. I have from a good source been told they have the same software hpa in the us use to flash the mech unit in your box. Not only that but they can set it up exactly as you want it, where you want torque limits, clamping pressure everything. Not just that, it is all able to be done from what ive been told without removing the mech unit and just plugging in and adjusting parameters for exactly what you want from the car.  :happy2:

Sorry if I'm missing the point but does it not take only 10 minutes to raise the torque limit??.

Hey John, I hope you get sorted and get your refund.
I did the 200 mile round trip to Regal in Southampton this morning after my nightshift to get Chris to do a read of my ECU for the GIAC DSG map.  It seems that GIAC couldn't get their finger out until this was done.  I hope the trip was worthwhile.  Chris also told me that the GIAC software (standard) would only launch u at 3500rpm, but you could request higher if you liked  :innocent:
Miracles may happen, and overnight tonight (they're 8 hours behind) they could be writing my map for me to go back to get it flashed tomorrow, who knows.
Either way, I'm sure we'll have a laugh at the GTi festival on Sunday - both of us not happy with what we've got  :signLOL:

From what i gather APR have bypassed the limiters on their R now.  Not sure if its a dsg map or ecu tweak though

I am sure if APR bring one out they will soon follow, perhaps they are waiting for another tuner to test the water before committing finances?.

IS the DSG box on the R the same as the one on the New S3 or RS3, Golf GTI etc, surely there is a market for that.

Hoping someone has one in a couple of years when I get my R  :happy2:

Correctamundo Hedge!!

Giac turn the torque read off too, they have done for the past two years

Its called a no torque read file so the limiters lifted on the DSG through the motronic
Still not as good as the correct box software though that's why they have now finally released it, and yes I guess everyone will follow suite  :wink:

Great day at the Pod. Lovely weather. Only did 16 runs in total. Got the hang of the car launch and shift points by the end of the day. A little different to launching on the road. 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.

The car still feels like it is held back by the torque limitation in the map and with an extra 40-50lbft should help drop the times more.

A few pics...list of runs (didn't pick up the last two runs which we're 12.62 and 12.63)

I dare say a stock car wouldn't be a million miles off that terminal speed.. Get her checked out pronto I say.

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.


....I'm curious how getting too MUCH grip can ever be a problem?

Enjoying watching the progress on this. My friend is currently trying to develop launch control for TFSI's, that would be cool, launching at say 4k but making say 15psi of boost, I bet that that would be fun..

Haven't spoken to them about it yet. I think APR does this on their R, so it is possible.

Met Keith yesterday on his flying visit to the Pod. He did a few sub 12 second Runs too in the Stage 3 GolfR. His terminals were around 117mph.

Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: Janner_Sy on October 15, 2012, 09:19:35 am
Yeah i think his stage 3 setup has shaved 0.6 seconds of his time and netted him a 7mph higher terminal  :surprised:

Was yours full interior?


....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:

too much grip can mean you bog down on the launch.

On ve I'd got the hang of it the times were within a tenth of ach other, so very consistent and well pleased Robin.

Too much grip on a 4 we'd launch bogs down the revs, power and spool of the turbo. A little slip at the start enables the revs to stay up, boosts the turbo under load and so gives a cleaner launch. On my first run the car had no grip off the line and I launched it at max rpm's I could. I got a hail of all wheel drive spin and even had to put opposite lock on to steer into the standing drift, as a result the time was poo. you only have to look at the 60' time to see what happened! On the second run I launched with too few revs and the car bogged down, I lost spool and again the 60' was poor and gave a bad time. I thought I'd found the balance by launching and avoiding the wet patches they put down, but later on I discovered that going through the wet actually helped the launch times. In the end I even asked for water to be sprayed on the floor so I could go through it. :happy2:

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:

The Racelogic box was very accurate with the official drag strip times, so I'm also pleased that I can depend on that piece of kit in between official runs to gauge my times.

With 40-50lbft missing too!

40-50lbft will have a massive effect on in gear acceleration no doubt, but how much difference do you think this will make on the 1/4 mile and the final terminals though?

As i said in the other thread, if the torque is being cut by the DSG, it will no doubt be limited when it would normally be peaking so between 3000-4500rpm before the torque drops sufficiently not to be effected by the DSG limiters.

So maybe during the initial part of the launch, id imagine that 50lbft could effect it a little(although 4.1 seconds is hardly slow  :scared:), but once you redlining in every gear, surely when it moves up a cog and the revs drop, the rpm would be above where the torque would be suffering torque limitation.

Have you got a graph?   What is your torque being limited to?

When are you expecting full boost by with the 35?

I know when I had my evo these were always used alongside 2.2/2.3's instead of the standard 2.0L so wondering how it will perform on a golf.

Yes, but I've swapped to GIAC DSG software today and to be quite honest the CC DSG map is like a clunky old model T Ford against the Giac DSG software as a Bugatti Veyron Supersport!

The GIAC DSG software has.........

Smoother shifts
Faster shifts
Better control
Better launch control function

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....

Milltek full TBE
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

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:

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....

Milltek full TBE
Autotech hpfp internals
Modified Forge Twintake

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.

Looking at that 322bhp on JKM's dyno = 347bhp on Statllers dyno

I was getting 265g/s on the first GIAC map and made 347bhp.

If the mass air flow directly relates to bhp (which it does) then ....

322/265= 1.215

My current GIAC map makes a consistent 296g/s, so on JKM's dyno the Golf R should  theoretically make.......

1.215 x 296 = 359.6bhp

There are a few variables, like how lean each car is running, but overall it shouldn't be too far off.  :smiley:

I was running 9-6-9 with no timing pull so could have tweaked it a little more.

The new Revo maps are less aggressive and seem to allow the timing to go higher(?).

I have turned it down now for driveability but still very quick.

GIAC seems to be making headwind. There seems to be a few people thinking the KO4 has a bit more to offer.

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:

Cheers Alex :smiley: whatever the output the car is damn fast and faster than it was on Revo 2+ with smoother, faster changes than on the Custom Code map. I'd love to see what the car would do at the strip now with just the map changes. I've only had chance to use the VBox on one run so far and that showed a significant improvement. I reckon the 6k launch is a little high and GIAC have agreed to lower it a little for me, which I think will make it even faster off the mark.  :driver:

I'm running an Evoms intake. Worked well on the old Ed30 so knew it would work on the R.

Yeah, 6k launch goes ok, but a 4.5k launch seemed to bite a little better off the line. I can vary the launch revs, but limiting it to say 5k may save the clutch packs from excess wear or overheating.

LMAO - black 1.2s or the 1.3s were on my shopping list. Good job I have only 3 doors otherwise people might start talking!

On the subject of the Stage 2 map, I'm really, really pleased with it. I've only had GIAC software on the R so no real comparison, but I know it feels way quicker then my Stage 2+ Cupra even on a rolling start.

I think if people can see past the Revo vs APR crap and give GIAC a go they're not going to be disappointed. They certainly seem to do ok for themselves in the US.

Rant time..... :fighting2:

Ordered a set of alloys and Parcelforce were due to deliver them.

The company I bought them off gave me tracking numbers and I duly tracked them....

Stayed in all morning on Monday.....went to work at 1pm...........delivery attempted at 2pm :fighting:
e-mailed them Monday night after getting home from work to attempt to get them delivered Tuesday morning
Stayed in all Tuesday morning.....went to work for 1pm.....delivery attempted at 15.39  :fighting:

Now here's the kicker!

Goes back on the tracking site and it says "Delivery attempted - refused by addressee"  :surprised: :fighting2:

Then "Returned to Sender" :fighting2: :fighting:

How can I refuse delivery when there was no-one in the house?  All I could think is that they tried handing them to a neighbour, but both my neighbours were out too! so did they REALLY attempt delivery or did they just miss me out and click on the wrong option on their little box? I suspect that they didn't attempt delivery as I didn't even get a slip on the second attempt.

Anyway I phoned the depot this morning at 08.30 and they said that the parcels had already been sent back to the sender :fighting2:

So now I've had to phone the original company to tell them what a set of muppets their carrier is and re-arrange delivery. Luckily they deal with this cr4p all the time and agreed to re-send them at their cost. :congrats:

Now all I have to do is waste another day waiting for delivery :sad1:

Rant over!.....and relax! :smiley:

I don't know exactly, but I believe they at least binned the original filters as they came to the same conclusion about the intake being restrictive. :smiley:

I had stage 2+ on my car when i had the development Octavia ITG kit installed on mine and stage 2+ had been out a while before that.  Pretty sure the twintake was released around the same time as well.

Edit:

Not sure about KO4 software though, which io presume is what you mean by not available.  Forge use the same canisters on their 1.4TSI intake and once you are at Stage 1 they start choking the top end power, so they cant be rated at much more than 200hp.

Initial impressions are.....

That the steering is definitely improved - feels quicker and a little lighter
The tyres are quieter
The deeper sidewall gives an improved ride quality
The suspension feels quicker to react to undulations and doesn't crash quite as much as before

All in all a successful mod.

Excellent choice John, but you knew the benefits before buying the TD's as you had them on the MK5, i'm also totally fan of these rims now, and currently have 3 sets in the household  :signLOL:

Cheers Ben. 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.

Your new alloys are gloss black?

MMMM, slicks :happy2:

The alloy wheels, mirror caps, front upper and lower grille, rear diffuser, Xenon light caps and both VW badges are all gloss black, so a gloss black roof would a) disguise the sunroof & b) match up with the rest of the theme.  8)

Not particularly in a rush.

Awaiting the H&R group buy to start, then choose brakes and coilovers and have them on as one job lot. 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:

Thats correct john, lighter than oem, to date they have been excellent and the wear rate of the rs42's is pretty good to considering the abuse. Defo the route id be taking. Uprate your master cylinder to for around £100 and it will deal with the extra amount of fluid aswell. Speak to dave about that.  :happy2:

Different set-up Sy. The 6 pots are a new design over the older 10pots and the 1 piece discs are very OEM.  :happy2: Imagine the 6pots as a NQSBBK with added bite. :happy2:

Not much idea in going lighter in the rear are there, if you want that approach you should locate the aluminium rear subframe for the 4wd, Michel Dammfors has that on his cupra.

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

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?

A DSG gives more loss than a manual always! Nearly as much as an auto box, try turning the wheels on a DSG car while it's on a ramp and compare it to a manual, or try to push the car in neutral it's much harder to do

Where was the AFR probe plugged in John, the tail pipes?

BTW that's more wheel hp than my dyno showed

You can't really measure AFR correctly after the cat John,  the AFR's look very stable after the initial load is taken up.
To check if the car is running lean you'd have to log the fuel measuring systems and lambda to see If the requested is lower than the actual, by the way your car drives & the previous OBD data we've taken, I would say its more than happy regards fuel trims  :happy2:

It was a Volvo performance day. Lots of T5 motors in different states of tune. A BMW E36 328 did 181whp, a Merc E55 AMG did 293whp. Top honours went to my mate Jon with an S40 auto with 354whp. Fast car that over 60mph!

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:

Great figures John.  Is there anything that can be done to smooth the curves out it seems to drop/flat line a little

If that could be smoothed out between 3250-4500 and 4500-5500 rpm, is it recovering from the spike of torque at 3250rpm?  although i bet you dont even notice it lol. :driver:

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.

Update.....

Booked in next week for all the suspension doing plus engine mounts and alloy front arms.

Also at the same time the water methanol injection goes on.

Be rude not to wouldn't it.  :laugh:

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:

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?

Well, when you can get all the parts in one go on "Black Friday" at Awesome it would have definitely been rude not to. I reckon the savings alone on the suspension parts will pay for the WMI.

The R definitely has the "pig iron" arms as we had a look when the exhaust was fitted. Quite surprised myself that the R doesn't have these as stock considering the list price of a new R v's S3.

I think it will probably end up as a BT conversion before the nitrous, but that is what discussions are for.......to contemplate and weigh the options up. :happy2:

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:

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!

Ideally you'll need the TT steering rack also, along with the TT driveshafts, and it will be 15mm wider track each side due to the TT hubs  :happy2:

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.

I've had a serious word with myself and reminded me of why I bought this car in the first place :laugh:

The car was never intended to be a trackday warrior car, it is supposed to be an uber fast road car that I can use every day without knocking my teeth out, but yet be able to take it to a track 8-10 times a year and keep up with serious metal. This is why I chose the B16 PSS10's as on their softest setting they are more controlled and as comfy as stock, but on full hard they are proper track grade weaponry.

Obviously being me I'll do something stupid, extreme interestingly different along the way, but that's the way I roll! :grin:

I don't quite agree Shaun.  With the stock rod ends fitted with the tt hubs you only have around 3 threads of the arm in the rod end.   I ran mine e like that for a month or so just as you are but it's really not ideal.   Do it properly as per the TT.  Doing just the wishbones will give an instant -2 degs camber and doing both the hubs and the wishbone will only give around -1 deg.  Combined with adjustable top mounts,  hubs and wishbone will give -3 degs camber.

The shafts are slightly longer which isn't really necessary, but they are also stronger as they are not welded like stock shafts.

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?

All the TT rod ends are the same and all fit into the hubs with no extra collars.  Mine are the bent ends, but the TT runs much shorter track arms too,  and the arms only fit the TT rack.

Using stock arms and rod ends only leaves 3 threads.

Not sure what you have then.

That would leave only 2 threads holding the arm to the rack.  Rack needs machining down like Jake has done.

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.

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:

I'm definitely doing the top mounts Shaun, I just need to decide whether to do BSH, THS or VF mounts. :smiley:

Vibratechnics?  I swapped my full set of THS mounts for them and they are a massive improvement.  Poly mounts are rock hard in winter and soft in summer.

I will pm you a price for the upper two when I get into work.  They have some good pics on their site.  Iirc the THS and vibratechnics mounts are the only two that still hold the carbon canister on all three of its mounting points.

Vibratechnics (the ones VWR use and fitted to mine) have given me no problems at all - A gentle buzz vibration felt only through the steering wheel and when first fitted and on cold startups only, but all that has settled down. QD complained that his THS mounts were uncomfortable and got rid of them, IIRC, but he does have 'war wounds'.

Apart from the obvious benefits, mounts transfer some great sounds from the engine bay....  Grrrrrrrrrrrrr !!  :happy2:

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:

Not that the adjustable front drop links are on then it can be corner weighted properly.  You will need rear adjustable links to do it right too.

Another vote for purple but it wants to be a rich purple which isn't too light.

Purple against black and grey is a very elegant colour combo, Mr Hurdy, Sir.

I'm posting this because it's the nearest thing to hand which shows purple with black. You hardly need encouraging to modify!!:

....The converse of that is that a Golf R is not a Lambo and that John is trying very hard.

Rather than colour code them the grey and consequently lose sight of them, if not an elegant shade of dark purple, how about silver because then the whole brake assembly would look 'machine'.

Black calipers with blue lettering.  :smiley:

^^^  That but without any lettering.  Keep it stealth. 

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

If your driving it properly whatever fancy colour you choose will only end up black anyway...

I was up close with Jamie Kips Suzuka Grey 8 Pots on his Stg2 TTRS  using the same rotor and pads as Geordies yesterday, yes they looked a little mucky but literally 10 secs with the jetwash and they came back to being the same as fitting day. Jonny uses a protecting ceramic coating or some other mumbo jumbo stuff on all the stuff he sends out.

JK doesnt hang around either...

I also spilt OEM brake fluid all over JamS3s gallardo calipers on His TTRS and even being unwittingly left on for a couple of minutes theres wasnt any damage.

So there are options for protecting them, Jonny said this stuffs £100 a tin plus VAT.

Black or Lambo green doesnt matter to me John, reliable options there though...

Just doing a set Solar Orange for a TT owner tomorrow

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:

 Went back to GIAC to alter the settings for the stage 3 DSG map. Much more aggressive when I want it to be, but still smooth as silk whilst driving normally. As a result it hasn't altered any higher speed runs by much, but enough to know I'm in the LOW 12's for a quarter mile run.

Not yet Sy. Steve is a man down with 5 Porsche turbos to work on!

I'm not in a rush to do these things as the car WILL be with me for a long time yet. :happy2:

Yes I'm still using GIAC software and will be for the foreseeable future as they also supply good solutions for WMI and the Loba L04XX. 

I'll have to look at Revo's Facebook page as I didn't know they had a Golf R L04XX.

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.

Alex has a hybridized K04 turbo, not the LOBA offering.  He was after it back along but from what i gather couldnt get answers regarding the EGT questions, plus i think it was pretty expensive as well.

Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: Janner_Sy on January 09, 2013, 03:07:08 pm
yeah, alexes involves different compressor wheels, whereas the LO4xx has half a TTRS turbo bolted to it or something like that anyway.  I think Alex was worried about the EGTs on this turbo being high though, but no one has released any figures from tests yet AFAIK, so its all theoretical.

if you go by the dyno figures floating around it produces more power than the Loba TTRS upgrade turbo which uses larger wheels and an extra cylinder!

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:

Bit of an update....

The car goes in next week for it's re-spray after the scratch damage on the rear door from a vandal. some other bits may well get colour coded at the same time to cheer me up!

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Ft8%2Fhurdy_album%2FIMAG0481_BURST001.jpg&hash=f0a52079514c7139d9974ecdccb32d9fe7a9861a)

Also next week the R will have the intake changed to a larger one with a larger MAF housing. This is to incorporate the upgrade maps that will go on by GIAC onto the new switchloader I'm getting....

A. Valet mode - for when anyone apart from Statllers has it.
B. GIAC Extreme pump map - for when I'm on normal 99ron fuel
C. GIAC Extreme race map - for when I'm running WMI and/or race fuel.

The GIAC Race map has seen R's with DSG using it into the 11's on the 1/4 mile with just WMI, so WMI and race fuel should be "interesting"

I think my next update may well be upgrade clutchpacks! :signLOL:

Post by: Hurdy on February 05, 2013, 04:20:15 pm
No-one is right!  :grin:

At the moment it is all about getting the WMI to run sweet. Been trying various combinations to see what runs best.

I'm getting more power at 4200rpm than an APR stage 2+ Golf R gets at peak power and where the Golf R makes peak torque at 3400rpm my Golf R makes equal or more than that torque from 3050rpm to 5350rpm.

For reference max gain is 65bhp@4350rpm over Apr stage 2+ and a mahoosive 85lbft@4200rpm.

Peak power gain is 40bhp and 65lbft over Apr stage 2+

This just goes to show just how much midrange power and torque is added by WMI on GIAC.  :happy2:

Stage 2 GIAC gave a few bhp more than APR stage 2+, but had 15lbft less torque. Which reminds me, I need to get some figures for the GIAC extreme pump map without WMI!

Ok fellas, as I've said before, Statllers dyno was re-calibrated to read lower recently and is now even more of a heartbreaker than JKM's dyno :scared:


The important thing to read from the graph below is the increase in bhp and torque over the APR stage 2+ R. Mine are the dotty lines! :laugh:

Very similar delivery to James's car on WMI too.
Mine...

I reckon the R would make a similar power and torque output as James's did based on how low Statllers dyno is reading at the moment. For reference a stock 510bhp Audi R8 V10 only made 430bhp!!

For 1400 quid probably not for long lol


I am seriously tempted by that offer they have for the first 5 kits.

So who can tell me its a bad idea and I should stick with the NQSBBK?

The new AKS kit with fully floating discs for 1495 is a better idea...  :evilgrin:

Oh, just got this pic as well.

My before and after WMI

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:

The midrange on this R is now mental. :driver:

It drops down to around 1.4 bar at 7krpm.

The N75 duty cycle is higher, but by no means maxing out. No tweakage done to the actuator at all either.

The LPFP may need a boost soon as that IS pretty much maxed out.

Get that kit on the VRs Alex, it'll make a monster of it. :happy2:

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.

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.

What makes me laugh about Revo is they are a Performance Car Remapping company who are averse to progress.

It seems they don't want to move along with the times and write Maps for new products. This has got to me a little bit as I was going to invest in a LO380 but I will need to keep my 2+ and get a manual boost controller.

That seems like a bodge to me and may, may as I am unsure,  force my hand to a GIAC Map. I am just trying to find out if I can keep my Revo DSG Software if I do make that change.

Loba, very very friendly informative emails from Simon, have told me they think GIAC are bringing out some specific maps for the LO380 so I suppose the LO4XX too?

Even though I did get lots of information from Kev at Revo, the tone was a bit, how should I say 'I don't really want to discuss Loba'!

Personally I think they are missing a trick, EGT's keep getting mentioned but the info from Simon says otherwise.

So maybe £1500ish of Revo Software on my car down the swanny? I don't think so! But it means everybody with Revo is losing out because they want to keep it simple.

I don't want a non OEM looking solution on my car like the GT6071R, or whatever it is, I want a nice OEM fit non intrusive product, alla LO380!

Good results from the WMI though John very impressed.

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 just emailed GIAC to find out a little more.

I like the power increase of WMI but I am not sure I want the intrusion of bottles and pumps.

The LO380 seems like a great product for me if it achieves the 380-400ps Loba are saying.

Simon said that they have run the Turbo flat out on the Autobahn with no EGT issues?

To quote:

'We have sold hundreds of LO380 never a issue ever yet...  also to be noted in Germany no speed limits so car sit a WOT in high gears for long time..this is when egt would be a problem!'

I hope he is alright with me putting that up?

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.

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.

But your at least 30bhp up on me now maybe more after the actuator tweak?

The point I am trying to make about EGT's is if it is a problem, and its only Revo saying it(?), then I won't be flat out on the Autobahn will I?

If I wanted that I would be going down the GTX*** route.

Also if Loba say 380-400ps, and they are selling these things in USA so they have to be careful, surely its got to be close?

I'm not stupid I know claims against truth, Revo 2+ 360bhp my arse, but its a big claim to make and sell something physical that can't do it?

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.

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.

Mine is set to come in at 1.1 bar IIRC. Steve Jr has done a lot of tweakage since though.

The Polo GTI I had made around 14bhp more on wmi than without it at JKM's dyno, but that was only a 1.4 and should only give 2/3rds the improvement of a 2.0ltr car. The Polo was a Revo car as well, so there should be more in it than what you are getting.

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!^^^^^

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.

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:

If I set mine to 1.1 bar I get timing pull initially of 6 and 9's. As the revs go up it does start to come down again. I keep an eye on the timing as i keep my fis advanced is showing it all the time.
I just don't think Revo sps adjustments can take full advantage wmi as i believe there is more to it then just timing. I'm currently running 989 with 0 to 3 timing pull.  The Giac code does look good though judging by your results.

I did run out once, the car just throttled back and I' m sure I saw timing pull in the 14's.

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.

Spoke to Garry the dyno operator and he said the dyno reads very accurately and no more than 4bhp on a car like mine.

A chap had his stage 4 Focus RS on the dyno expecting 400bhp and made 367.7bhp and 373.7lbft!

Mine made more! :laugh:

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:

Looking forward to making mine awd when I get home.  Would be a good drag race :driver:

Nice results

A Hurdy vs James drag race would be interesting  :popcornsoda:

Although Manual vs DSG is a little unfair  :sad1:

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!

It certainly would, but like you say, a manual of similar power is always going to struggle against a DSG with full launch control......unless it has a wotbox!

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..

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.

I dont remember saying mine didnt perform?  :stupid:

What I mean is there isnt a massive point swapping out the already well performing K04 for a hybrid for the cost the hybrids are.  If however there is the time where the stock K04 goes pop, then its worth swapping for a hybrid like the LO380, TD, or Universal Turbo's version etc.

If you are looking for a reliable 450bhp upwards then GTX with a good free flowing manifold is the way to go.  The stock K04 mani is way too restrictive.

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.

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:

407bhp and 580nm doesn't sound all that impressive when someone has managed 404bhp and 610nm from only a K04 with WMI. . . unless you can add WMI to the LO380 and get even more than 407??

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:

Absolutely  :happy2:

You normally associate bigger turbo with having loads of power at the top end but a laggy low end and a very steep curve. (thinking back to Jezza testing the FQ400 evo on Top Gear). I'm sure turbo technology has moved on loads since then and you can get a decent mid range too. Gotta admit the K04 is a fantastic all rounder and will be hard to beat  :happy2:

Yes numbers are without W/MI http://www.bts-racing.de/ is tuner that always makes around 390 and 540nm + Not many tuners in Germany seem to use W/MI, we base our turbo product number always without.  here is a BTS car at 386hp

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.

Tough call that. It is the law of diminishing returns. 0.4 seconds off 3.4 seconds is MUCH harder than 0.4 seconds off 5 seconds.

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.

I will do another run, but hurdy himself used the same app, and found its only .1 of a second off the race logic.

But in the interest of science I will reset and retry once I get my fresh rubber and car back..

Steve - My Ed30 when weighed on proper corner scales was 1356kgs with 1/4 tank of fuel. So add a few extra kgs for the 2 extra doors and you are about there..  :happy2:

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.

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.

As much as I would love to Jas, I feel I would be banging my head against a wall like many of you lot.. Plus I don't have the experience of a 500bhp TTRS (Ed30's I do)..

One big factor that I can see after just having a quick browse, is that you lot are comparing Marham times with 'on the road' times.. Waste of time mate..

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....

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!

Yes Ciprain has latest compressor.  How would i know regarding the stripped car the owner don't even know times or power yet haha i think hes asking same mate .. i honestly feel imo a car needs setting up on a dyno to get the best from it.  

But ive raced/pulled (on the roll) side by side with Stattlers LO700 997 and the GOLF LO4XX and the golf actually kept with us id say to 80 or so maybe or wasn't loads in it anyway  ... then the 997 was off, the 997 is a big speed car its crazy over 100mph pulling to 200mph like 2.0tfsi do to 100. I dont think 30-130 suits the 997 LO700 as stevo always telling me struggling for grip even on 888... its a vmax car as proved.

 i will admit the times Ciprain car has shown both video and pbox screen shots are fantastic and very fast compared to slower cars, but id not say he was a lier at all there is to much data to disbelieve..  the way the rev counter and speed climbs says is quick.
i have another customer with a rs4 b5 LO600(fullfat) doing 6.1 sec 100-200kph again all data inc FATS/PBOX so on... its maybe fastest car on the forum SRS and widely know as, would you say that's false also?

Bolting hardware on a car is one thing getting it set to optimum is something else ..TBH ive seen this in many forms of motorsport bikes / karts just cause you got everything don't mean your have fastest machine if not set-up right.

its a shame hes not in the uk to attend a event as feel only way to know for your self really.
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: Poverty on February 15, 2013, 12:02:42 am
You cant argued with his data, hes clearly doing the times, I just dont know how. Whatever hes doing, im sure others want to know aswell. I expect it to be quick, but it just seems second or two too quick, but i can only go by what ive seen from other TTRS. 30-130 will be interesting, ciprian is a cool guy too, its all fun.

Mine would probably get close, but I'd have to strip the car a little, sticky rubber, add race fuel, turn on the Race map and use 60 or 70% meth mix. Even then I don't think I'd be under 11.5 :rolleye:

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?

Actually gps works in 3 dimensions, so it doesnt really matter if going uphill or down. You will get correct distance.

Hi Mike, It is more a preparation thing for further mods than something for now. It will definitely help if you are suffering from fuel deficiency at the HPFP side due to the in-tank pump not being able to supply the pressure to the low pressure side. As you can imagine my R is sort of wound out to the maximum and demand on the stock LPFP is pretty much 100% and needing more!

Went to a dyno shoot out day at an Awesome GTI on Sunday. For comparison the cars were .....

Audi S3 stage 2+ with decat
My Golf R with GIAC extreme race file and water methanol injection. 200 cell cat.

The runs were done in 4WD shoot out mode on a Dynojet and figures are at the crank.

Basically peak figures showed .....

APR - 379.59bhp and 423.65lbft (drawn on in ink off APR graph)
GIAC +WMI - 392.08bhp and 462.67lbft (green line on graph)

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.

Oh, and I'd love to see that graph compared to say an Evo VIII / IX tuned to 400bhp. With the ease you can release power from the 2.0TFSI and platforms as good as the Golf R / Audi S3 I think "upgrading" to an Evo from a Golf is getting harder and harder to justify.

You picked up on both the things that make the R a better daily and more responsive car there. :happy2:

The R has more torque at 2.5krpm than the Evo has peak and the R keeps over 350lbft to just under 6krpm, so no way is the R laggy.

The power to weight deficit is purely combatted by the DSG, which the EVO simply cannot match.

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..

Thanks for that John, really shows what an animal your car is now.

I'd be interested to compare it against a tuned FQ MR 320/340 tuned to 400 (IIRC they have a smaller turbo than the FQ400)

Just shows how much of a better proposition a tuned R is over an Evo. They used to be the only way to keep up with a super car for under £30k, obviously not any more! Oh, and I know which one I'd rather have, and it would be the one that kept it's money, returned good mpg, didn't require servicing every 3500 miles or randomly kill transfer boxes / diffs  :happy2:

Matt metallic grey along with gloss black, deleted the Audi badge and filled in the recess, re-painted the TFSI badge section and finished off with 3M gloss carbon vinyl. Don't know if the 3M vinyl will last under the bonnet but it is gloss black underneath, so no biggie to remove if needed

I could tell instantly that the car was better balanced in corners and doesn't have as much roll. I'd say get both ARBs and run stiff on the rear and soft on the front if you like to get the rear to play a little more. :happy2:

I'll get it for you tomorrow. :happy2:

D4YS. Steve Jr at Statllers fitted mine and they made a real difference. Not too expensive either.

Here's the spiel.....


"About 50 million years ago an asteroid crashed into Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs. What was left behind is a layer of Iridium-rich clay all over the world.  They should have left the Iridium buried!

Silver
Find a fitment
Identify your plug
Torque specifications
Buy Silver Plugs

Stop playing around with spark plugs that feature Iridium electrodes, Platinum electrodes, Copper electrodes, fine wire electrodes, split electrodes, ring electrodes or multiple electrodes - get serious with silver electrodes!
Silver is the best electrical and thermal conductor of any metal.  This makes Nology Silver the best spark plugs in the world.

Silver Center Electrode
More Spark Power
Deliver the Most Powerful Spark
Increased Horsepower
Cleaner Combustion
Long Lasting
Race Proven Design
Top Quality Materials
Why shouldn't I fit Iridium plugs?

Iridium is a super dense material and therefore extremely resistant to wear. That's it!
It is a terrible thermal conductor and a bad electrical conductor, so why would anyone use it to make a spark plug center electrode? Since car manufacturers have to guaranty that their engines stay in-tune for up to 100,000 miles, they can only achieve this with ultra dense Iridium or Platinum.

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.

If you're not using Nology Silver™, you're not going as fast as you could be."

The Nology plugs made a real difference to the car. Steve Jr at Statllers Recommended them for me as he now stocks them. The car had developed a small hesitation around 6krpm and this was directly due to the stock plugs deterioration.

The bumf from their website shows the difference between the Silver and Iridiums.....

"About 50 million years ago an asteroid crashed into Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs. What was left behind is a layer of Iridium-rich clay all over the world.  They should have left the Iridium buried!

Silver
Find a fitment
Identify your plug
Torque specifications
Buy Silver Plugs

Stop playing around with spark plugs that feature Iridium electrodes, Platinum electrodes, Copper electrodes, fine wire electrodes, split electrodes, ring electrodes or multiple electrodes - get serious with silver electrodes!
Silver is the best electrical and thermal conductor of any metal.  This makes Nology Silver the best spark plugs in the world.

Silver Center Electrode
More Spark Power
Deliver the Most Powerful Spark
Increased Horsepower
Cleaner Combustion
Long Lasting
Race Proven Design
Top Quality Materials
Why shouldn't I fit Iridium plugs?

Iridium is a super dense material and therefore extremely resistant to wear. That's it!
It is a terrible thermal conductor and a bad electrical conductor, so why would anyone use it to make a spark plug center electrode? Since car manufacturers have to guaranty that their engines stay in-tune for up to 100,000 miles, they can only achieve this with ultra dense Iridium or Platinum.

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.

If you're not using Nology Silver™, you're not going as fast as you could be."

Silver has the highest conductivity, however, whilst gold isnt quite as good, its often preferred for its resistance to corrosion.

Ahh the company sales pitch, it must be true then :wink:...., its like the OKADA coil packs websites "power gains" claim.  Great on paper for the sales pitch, but ultimately not delivering what it says on the tin.  :wink: With the corrosion Im talking on an electronics front.   Ive no idea how it handles life within an engine block, no doubt it will be fine.  Me saying it erodes petty fast is probably not accurate in the wider spectrum, but im talking in comparison to gold.  If were comparing, isnt iridium regarded as the most corrosion resistant of the elements?

What i want to know is ultimately, how much better is it than an Iridium plug, probably negligible is what i reckon.

I think you need a science geek forum Sy :wink:

Nology say the lifetime of the plug is 20,000 miles and is specially made for tuned/high performance engines. Silver is recognised as the best electrical conductor on the planet, so for under £50 notes it is worth a punt for me, especially as the plugs that were in (NGK Iridiums) went tits up after just 3k miles.

I can't say after using them for a week that they are the best ever plugs, but they do tick the right boxes at the moment and are working well. :happy2:

£40-£50. I'm running them with Revo stage 1 fitted by Alex. Runs fine IMO no problems. Small price to pay if they need changing every 20k miles. Tbh on mapped vehicles plugs shud be changed at 20k miles!

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 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?

Post by: bonelorry on April 07, 2013, 07:58:49 pm

From my experience using Nitrous, The same goes for WMI....

It is more a case of equal distribution between all the 4 cylinders, When you are injecting single port you rely on the inlet manifold to distribute the WM equally and this is fine in small amounts but the more Water Meth you run you can run the risk of unequal distibution which can cause one or two cylinders to run lean.

Going direct port means you can run a higher amount of WMI or Nitrous and each cyclinder will get the same amount, Reducing the risk of running lean etc.

I haven't made a decision yet on the turbo, but t will be a Loba.

Gains on the ED30 were substantial and over 50lbft in the mid range over single port on the same car. I'd expect less, but even half that would be good. :happy2:

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:

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 ;)

Not sure about Inters at the minute as it falls right in the middle of my stag do and wedding (and my mate's stag do too come to think about it). Will try my best though..  :wink:


Good luck with the stag do's and wedding.  :happy2:

Finally found someone who will put up with your motor fetish then?  :signLOL:

Won't need any luck with the stag do mate.. The wedding on the other hand....  :scared:  :signLOL:

She knows what I am like, she's been with me long enough. She was also the one who had to pick me up from the Police station when I had my...er... incident.  :ashamed:

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:

Fully agree there.  Eurojet quality is fantastic.  Would have one on mine if they were more widely available when I got the THS.

Mine is running seriously well with the ttrs lpfp and 3c0 controller.

What are your impressions so far with that controller Alex?

The car went in today for a few part upgrades and for some diagnostics on a poor running issue.

Finally had the Intercooler Uprated to a Eurojet FMIC. Good bit of kit.

Also upgraded from the Autotech HPFP. Again a great piece of kit and IMHO the best HPFP on the market.

Also added a Revo PCV fix, this was more to eliminate a possible running issue.

Craig at Statllers spent a long time diagnosing the running issue and Steve even fully downloaded the GIAC map again (which wasnt the issue) but finally nailed it and the car is now back as it should be. :jumpmove:

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.

Today I visited the Pod for the first time since having the GIAC maps and WMI on and this was the result.....





Thanks for the vids Luke :happy2:

It was a bad day for trying to set any records. I'm glad I left the race fuel at home for the day and just ran the V-Power and WMI for a baseline. Best run of the day was a 12.3038 with a 1.7741 sixty foot time, the terminal should have been somewhere between 108 & 109mph, but something blew past one of the speed sensors and bagged me a 130.67mph terminal instead!. The car was full weight including over half a tank of fuel, another 5 litres of water to clean the car, 2 helmets, various cleaning stuff and all Luke's videoing stuff plus his rucksack. The headwind was atrocious and knocked a little off my times and also just happened to be the hottest day of the year to date! The car wasn't running perfectly as it seemed to have some power loss going into 5th gear....just seemed a little "thinner" than normal! Anyway, just 0.03 seconds off the 4WD K04 record in those conditions isn't too bad at all. :happy2:
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R

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?

I'm no expert on this by any means (far from it in fact), but wouldn't high rpm be running less boost than midrange rpm?  :confused:

Too much boost early on kills top end power. Boost should be managed really throughout the rev range and the Eboost  should help with that.

Update......

Well it has been a while and the R has had a few issues lately, which I'm glad to say now have been resolved by Steve Jr and Craig at Statllers. :happy2:

Not a massive update really, but today saw the E-Boost 2 controller go on. The R didn't like the manual boost controller too much. It made part throttle quite twitchy and coming off full boost was quite violent at times. It did the job fine for the strip, but for the road it was very much a temporary fix. So now the E-Boost controller is sat in prime place with an OSIR vent pod  just to the right of the steering wheel and an excellent piece of kit it is too. Jake ( Danishmkvgti ) had one of these fitted a while back and likes his a lot, so I thought I'd take the same plunge. Operationally it has quite a few options, but once set up is VERY smooth in operation, I'd even go as far to say that it feels smoother than using the N75 OEM controller!

Quick pic. :smiley:

I think I will go for the L0400 first as I've always said that a fast spooling 400bhp 4WD DSG car would be ideal and user friendly in the real world. The L04XX is a great turbo and spools reasonably well, but the L0400 spools quicker than a stock K04 and will give me the 400bhp I crave. :happy2:

Just the turbo, injectors and a map revision and Robert is your mothers brother. :jumpmove:

Looks great John! Can you explain the benefits of using the boost controller please?

Also out of interest what were the random issues?

Thanks

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:

The boost controller gives a higher level of available boost, which is what I will require when going for a turbo upgrade. For the K04 it helps stop the torque spike and over boost, it also helps maintain a higher boost.

Yep. All K04 cars use 3 bar map sensor. K03 cars use 2.5 bar sensor.

Does the eboost work as a progressive wmi controller, injecting at different rates depending on boost?

I drove an Ed30 with an lo380 yesterday. Instant boost. Drove really well.

Apologies, I thought it was 1.5 bar (2.5 inc atmospheric).

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:

Never really sold on APR products. Personal preference I guess. :smiley: the GTX2867R is a good turbo, but there are a lot of good turbos out there that offer different things. It is all about what the individual wants from their car that determines the turbo and that is how it should be.

Almost forgot.....it is also vitally about the car owners confidence in the people and tuning companies they use. I trust my tuner and the people they use in turn for hardware and software. :happy2:

I took the fuse out as I was travelling down to Inters to ensure I had enough w/m for the day once I arrived.

At the moment I am using the base kit controlled by the pressure switch, but it will be getting swapped out for a progressive controller via the E-Boost 2. :smiley:

I’m think of getting an eb2 myself and am wondering how you’re getting on with it.
Is it totally transparent, so if you didn’t know there was an eb2 fitted could you tell the difference between it and the ecu controlled n75 during normal daily use?
I was considering using it to also control my wmi but from what I can make out the eb2 will not control it progressively. It has on/off set points on the aux output to control a relay but I can’t see anything progressive like the Devils Own controller.
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: Hurdy on July 26, 2013, 01:53:02 pm
You can tell the difference between the N75 and the EB2 on the higher boost settings. On lower boost settings comparable to what a stage 2+ car would make on the N75 it is very OEM. The boost is set by dialling in the duty cycle on the EB2.

It should control wmi progressively. I believe there is another part that works with the EB2 to do this, but I will have to look closer to confirm how and what it does. :happy2:
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: kiddfrost on July 26, 2013, 05:14:20 pm
Thanks, I may just get one now. I’ve been eying up the eboost Street as well. Boost control on it seems identical to the eb2 but it hasn’t got all the fancy options which I’ll probably never use.
Will be interesting to see how the progressive works on the eb2.

Excited for this! Haha it's funny that I was almost about to go the LO400 as well as a friend was selling his (got it for his S3 but decided against it due to other plans)

As much as I wanted to buy it, I couldn't due to other circumstances....so i'm gonna live through you if thats okay :D

Excited to see the results!

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?

Yes, it will be ready for Marham. It would be plug and play if you could actually get to it to unplug it! LOL

Yes I have beforehand dynos and will get after dyno to see BHP gains through the rev range.

Not yet for direct WMI. I'm having a few other tweaks done as well as the turbo.....RS4 injectors, THS engine mounts etc. :wink:

Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R ...Loba turbo time....
Post by: Hurdy on August 06, 2013, 02:47:07 pm
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:

And thats all that actually matters.  Hunt figures you'll inevitably end up disappointing and chasing more.

Keen to see the spool difference.  Alex seemed very impressed with the spool on the Lo400 and he also has a hybrid K04 on his own motor to compare with.

Update.......

Dyno'd the R on the Loba L0400........

Peak torque up 10lbft Peak power up 25bhp

Although at the top end it doesn't run out of puff like the K04 and so at 7,000 rpm it is making over 50bhp more power and over 40lbft more torque.

Spool is very slightly better, but as near as makes no discernable difference.

The map is MUCH smoother and stable in conjunction with the turbo so around town at lower rpms it feels better and overall I'm very happy.

Big thanks to Steve Jr and Craig at my tuners Statllers for putting up with my pacing about like an expectant father! :signLOL:

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?

Steve has the dyno runs, so I'll need to get them off him. Midrange gives around 10-15lbft @ 3krpms which slowly increases to 42lbft @ 7krpm. Power is virtually the same until the K04 starts to level off around 5k rpm and then the difference increases to 7k rpm where the difference is 53bhp.  :happy2:

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

Post by: Statller-Stevo on August 09, 2013, 07:14:21 am
Hopefully Jakey boy my 4xx car 'should' be in the 12's grip dependent (on high boost it spins very hard in 3rd with the 888 SG's) so initially I'm goin to try rolling in third or maybe even fourth gear for the 30-130, the revised tune has a higher rev limiter so I can do it all in 4th gear and the latest mods have made one hell of a difference at the top end to the 4xx
if we've got time I think there's still a litte more to be had power wise before Marham, problem is we're slammed at the shop right now but I'm still going to try to work it in before Sunday and have some dyno time on the setup
I guess Johns will be in the late 14's, remember Marham is uphill for the first mile :-)

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 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:

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
If he ran the 4xx with the set up I've got he'd turn the gearbox inside out  :laugh:

Sounds good,  especially with your miserly dyno aswell.
Will be interesting to see how they compare tomorrow.
I'll have to twist your arm to take me for a spin in yours next time I'm down Steve :happy2:

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

Is that price for the APR Stage 3 kit or Loba kit?
Unfortunately I've only on stage 1!
I've just shelled out and fitted KW Clubsports and a WALK kit with AP's coming from Daveb in Sept
Having costed stage 3 from APR using the GTX 2wd won't cope and it's too much for track work.
Going stage 2 + will suffice until I change the car in the future.
The total outlay going stage 3 and everything else would get me an R8.!

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

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.

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 50-80hp

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.

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

Also take into account that LOBA are offering to rebuild your own K04 to LO400 spec reducing the total cost, effectively making you a part of the club beating higher priced kit companies such as for example APR.  :wink:

The 30-130 time was a little higher than I thought it would be, but the top speed was about right for the conditions, which means power is around where I think it is. On Saturday in better conditions the 400+bhp Evo's only just crept over 160mph, so we didn't do too badly. The Evo's gearing ensures a slightly better 30-130 for the same power, but they should still have a decent top end speed too.

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.

No one actually knows he tries to keep things secret, but I'd guess between 700-800hp he runs a gtx3582 with a 50/50 meth mix. When he used to run a non billet turbo like dan gt35 at 650hp his car was "slow" due to lag and poor transient response between gear changes. A billet wheel makes a massive difference

Highest manual for the day this year was 15.6 on a APR Stage 2 car (SSECKHAM - 68). He even managed to beat the same spec S-tronic car by 0.1 secs too  :confused:

Shows what difference the wind made. I estimate it gave around 1.5 - 2 secs handicap around that area (14-18 secs). Let's also not forget that we are comparing times in March (8-10oC) to times in August (20-22oc) too..
My car now has a Forge cooler over last year, but hasn't yet been mapped to suit (just ECU adaptation). Although my time was over a second slower, my terminal speed was identical, so I assume it has made a difference somewhere given the wind that day...

But yeah on a good day, a TTRS s-tronic should be doubt it in the 13's so about 2 secs down as you say

Ben, John ran the same boost with a mix of VP + 99
I'd guess 20-25 hp more max & 15-20 ft-lb more with the RF at the same boost pressure so the times not that bad really

If you had a bigger turbo that could blow another 10psi of boost with the RF then expect much more maybe up to 60-80hp
I see 30whp more on my Loba car with the RF and a tiny bit more boost

You know John every 0.1 creates a bigger bulge :grin:

Update.....

Did a few runs using the Dynolicious app. Using 99ron without WMI.

Each way runs were almost identical.

After a few adjustments and some nice cool weather recently I did another few 1/4 mile runs. I must say I'm impressed with how the car is running at the moment and using this method or recording my runs has yielded results within 0.05 seconds for the time at an official strip. :happy2:

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:

Post by: Hurdy on September 25, 2013, 12:26:39 pm
Ok guys,

Been doing some logging today using VCDS to see how the old girl is running and decided to look at the MAF readings.

Not to get too technical, but our cars give a MAF reading in grams per second of air flowing through the intake and as a rule of thumb you can calculate bhp from this reading using either of the following calculations.....

bhp = MAF x 1.25

or

bhp = MAF / 0.8

For example if your standard Golf R has a maximum MAF reading of 215 g/s then the power output is calculated as....

215 / 0.8 = 268.75 bhp      or        215 x 1.25 = 268.75 bhp

now there are several variables that can alter the calculation very slightly (atmospheric pressure, timing pull, running richer or leaner etc), but the calculation shouldn't alter by much more than 2% either way.

Why does this calculation work?......because for every gram of fuel used against 1.25 grams of air used per second creates 1 bhp.

So, my R is making a peak 312 g/s at 7040 rpm with no timing pull, which roughly equates to 390 bhp on normal pump gas with WMI running and in pump mode on the GIAC switchloader. :happy2:

the curve resembles mine with regards to bhp, it flattens abover 6k and the torque is typical K04 from max it just trails off to redline  :smiley:

Yep. The L04XX seems to have almost a flat torque level to the redline with just a small drop towards the end. :happy2:

watched this on the rollers and was quite suprised how much smoke this belted out on full chat,you not worried bout that john?.didnt just seem like black smoke either.(fuel).sounded nice though.

Mine chucks out a bit of smoke, could it have been ticking over for a bit of time before getting on the rollers?

Post by: H17YD_L on September 30, 2013, 08:03:59 pm
Actually I jsut noticed it has the PCV fix on it. I was told by Nick that this causes the car to smoke a lot more than with the PCV on or a catch can that can flow well

thing is it wasnt just a bit,slight black is acceptable but this was excess in my opinion,just wondered what johns thoughts on this was.i wasnt the only one to comment so know it wasnt just me,maybe some fueling issue or the fact its drove quite hard judging on the way he left r-tech lol. :happy2:

Post by: Hurdy on September 30, 2013, 08:26:26 pm
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.

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:

Everything is great at the moment, the best it has ever run. The Clutchpacks can take a phenomenal amount of abuse and I'd swear that the more I abuse it with launches, the better it gets! :grin:

I've simply lost count of the number of full bore launches I've done in the last year or so. At GTI spring feat I ran down the strip 19 times using launch in under 6 hrs and it was perfectly fine.

Exhaust development update V2...........

It is on and running, still have the titanium tips to have fitted, but the slash cut stainless ones will more than do for now. Sounds amazing.   :drool:

Just what I was wanting, more noise when I press the loud pedal and some awesome burbling on the overrun, but tempered with no droning when cruising at motorway speeds.

The Milltek was very good, but the new exhaust is spot on. Whether there is a power gain remains to be seen and I shall certainly take up Niki's offer of a return dyno run at R-Tech to see for sure.  8)

Why not REVO software and a GT30? or a GTx28 for K04 spool mated with either a GIAC custom map or an RTEC custom?

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?

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.

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"

John.
Been pondering your quarter mile requirements today and have a suggestion.
Rather than messing about with further turbos I suggest the following...

Through the free medium of BT Sport/ESPN I've been following the NHRA Nationals from the US.
Now John Force has just won his 16th Funny Car championship...so why not just buy his old car??

With some graphics alteration on the side instead of 'JOHN FORCE'.
You could add "Apostrophe S" onto the JOHN.
Then after FORCE you could add a "D".
Then you could perhaps get a graphic with the word "INDUCTION"
JOHN'S FORCED INDUCTION. See how good that looks..

Anyhow he won his final on Sunday in 4.1 seconds @ 316 mph I think it was.
Just might save you some tuning..

It's been a long day. Thinking outside the box.

But gotta admit parking the R outside the shops is probably easier. The steering lock looks pi$$ poor on a Funny Car.
Imagine trying to parallel park one of those..

I reckon you need to lose the stickers on the door, the colours just dont match the paint IMO.

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.

The L0400 should cost under £3k as a conversion to fit and set up over a stage 2+ car.

The R is decent as a base car and there are many modifications you can fit to enhance the power and handling of it.  :happy2:

Post by: Hurdy on November 24, 2013, 06:18:12 pm
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.

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:

^ Carbon + Steel Grey. Paint up to the crease? - Looks better than painting to line through with front and hence missing the bonnet crease line.

Goes well together in my opinion but it depends what overall look you want. Best to try without paint first - Adding paint easier than removing it!

Have to agree !  I painted mine, to go more "stealth" looking, when it was raw carbon, it attracted the wrong attention I didn't want...

Every man, woman and there dog used to near break there necks looking at it, then the boy racers, then the BMW drivers had a thing, wanting to race...

It's been one of my best buys John, the boot is carbon got the wings but not a great set, so have been put off them for now, was thinking door skins next!

Some colours of cars get away with a mix match of colours easier than others IMO...

Black carbon on a Black car or Black carbon on Grey cars, White cars even Black carbon on Red cars is a good contrast together.

Getting sprayed and flashed underneath and having rust edges on wings done too.

Worked on the green 4wd Leon a while back which has the Cts kit. Loads better than the Atp rubbish, but just wasn't the best fit with the wastegate, inlet pipes etc.

Tsr have made an adapor for the turbo to allow the stadard downpipe to be fitted. Saves on costs.

If you need any more info on turbo choice and set up speak to S3alex on audi sport. He has used a varietuy of turbos on this engine including the one your thinking of going for:

Decided not to de badge the front and so.........fitting!!!

The supplied screws to fit the bonnet to the hinges were too small and did not come with any washers
The pre-formed holes to accept the 4 rubber stops were all too small and had to be filed out and even then did not fit. In the end 4 Porsche 997 bonnet rubber stops were used as they are slightly smaller and a little softer.
The rubber strips on the bonnet that locate over the headlights have 5 plastic locators that go into 5 holes in the OEM bonnet. On the CF bonnet on the drivers side there were only 3 holes and 2 marks where the other two holes should have been.
The windscreen jets simply did not fit as the clips on the units are for thin sheet steel and not 3mm thick GRP plastic. This meant that they had to be secured as best possible and then glued.
The bonnet initially stuck up at one side, but after altering the seating and the bonnet housing for the catch it now sits just about right.

Pics....... :smiley:

This is what Darin has write on MLR..

Hi all,

After last year's 30-130 was postponed until August, I asked RAF Marham if we could also run this year's event later in the year - probably June or July, assuming they had a date available.

I've been in touch with George (who manages the event on the RAF side) a few times since December and they've had a new Station Commander who they wanted to get settled before they hit him with 30-130  and they're also making a number of changes to the base which are taking priority.


Suits me to have it in June, July as March can be very unpredictable weather wise. Plus it means I can run the new motor too..  :jumpmove:

George knows we're waiting for a date/s but I'll contact him again this week and see if he has any news. As soon as I know - you will too!
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: Hurdy on January 27, 2014, 01:56:42 pm
nice you going 76r and are you building the engine

Initially going with the GTX3067R to see what it is like using it as an alternative to APR's GTX2867R. If it works well Steve may well utilise it as a "Statller Stage 3" kit.
Then the internals may get done if I feel the need for more power. Then I can use 2 turbos and chop one for the other. 3076 for race and 3067 for road. :happy2:

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

Cheers Ben! I'll keep a lookout for updates on the 30-130 day.

The stock internals on the R are pretty good, but you are right, for big bhp the engine needs to be built. As ever I just like testing the limits. Statllers Golf ED30 was running 450whp and a shed load of torque when they went to Marham last year and it ran very well. As a daily it was running well over 400whp for over 2 years without issue. APR's stage 3 R is running 420awhp off the shelf on stock internals and injectors and they are happy with the car at that level. A GTX 3067 won't have a hell of a lot more power than the 2867, but should be about the max level for stock internals when ramped up.

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:

I doubt the 0-60 will drop that much, but with the tyres I've ordered  :wink: and the extra oomph added to the revised launch control I reckon it may get down to 3.3. The 0-100 sprint should knock maybe just under a second off, so 7.7 ish to 100? It is a little subjective at the moment as it looks like the turbo kit in a base stage 3 spec ( lower spec than mine) will do around 420-440whp, so mine with cams, Uprated head, HPA intake mani and WMI should make a decent chunk more. In fact I'm beginning to wonder about having to do internals and Uprated Clutchpacks already!

Audi ceramics would be great, but not for me. :smiley:

These big builds look great.....must admitt when I went out in the APR stage 3 R it felt mind blowing....drove at Combe and outside on public roads and had a few launches. The only fly in the ointment is the cost of these big conversions...been there before. These new generation car's are so much better to convert with big turbo's.

I have placed an order on a new S3 although haven seen the new R I was tempted to cancel....new demo is due to arrive in my dealer beginning of March. I had plans for new S3.

Meanwhile my track hack 2 litre 16V (As in Tim Stiles GTI tuning bible for those that know my car) is tucked up ready for the spring when I bring it for the track season.

I have been in touch with Awesome regarding my Ed30...thinking of converting from GTI Engineering map currently on car to APR's 3.4 ith RSC diff etc and clutch. The S3 will be my daily.

Is it a garret offering or a custom unit from owens?

I'm discussing it on Monday. HTA3068 looks good. Just need to view a few comp. maps and confirm some specs.  :happy2:

R went in today. Afraid to say I got a little carried away with the turbo spec. :innocent:

Rods please! :evilgrin:

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.

TSR said its running very safe at 1.5 bar and still plenty of room with a boost controller and wmi but tbh im not looking for much more power anyway in a lightweight fwd mk5 its alot lol 520+would just be a bonus for me

This is a graph of another R with a basic GTX3067R on the solid line and the dotted line is the GIAC Extreme map (stage 2+). The run on the GTX was using 99ron fuel only -----no wmi----no head work-----no cams-----no internals----still stock intercooler! and in pump mode. This is very encouraging as the run was done at Statller who will be fine tuning mine. Their dyno roughly reads 8-10% lower than Awesome GTI or R-Tech.

For comparison mine only does 370bhp on his dyno, but does 392 at Awesome and 392 at R-Tech and 371 at the hubs on a hub dyno.

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.
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: Hurdy on February 18, 2014, 10:52:43 am
So, I should have the R back for the weekend, just waiting on the TIAL housing to arrive from Owen Developments.

Final spec after much deliberation ended up being a bit overkill for how I am initially going to run it, but at least it will give me plenty of headroom for when pistons and rods are done.

Turbo kit specification......

Forced Performance HTA3071R turbo with TIAL .63AR housing. Turbo is a full Motorsport spec with all the FP options ticked. 
Nortech custom tubular V-Banded manifold, fully CAD designed with external wastegate V-Band fitting.
Nortech custom 3.5" stainless steel downpipe with wastegate pipe plumbed in.
Turbodynamics 45mm external wastegate with 10psi spring.
All custom pipe work for cooling/lubrication.

As I mentioned, the turbo is a little OTT but has proven results on various cars over the GTX3071R and spool close to the GTX3067R. The turbo I specified will be initially run between 1.5 and 1.6 bar boost, which should achieve around 450bhp on Statllers dyno without WMI and in pump mode. For reference the L0400 using WMI, in race mode and at 2.1 bar made 369bhp on Statllers dyno, so I am looking at a peak gain of over 70bhp.

Longer term this turbo with supporting mods of pistons, rods, fuelling upgrades, intake manifold, cylinder head and cams will make over 550bhp, so should be a permanent fixture. :happy2:

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?

Yes, just waiting on the TIAL housing as it was on Back order. Should be on the car Thursday as it has been dispatched. All the rest of the work is done and James at Nortech has been absolutely great throughout the process. Should be able to get pics and stuff up next week.
500 would be a good amount and I put it out there as my next target. My main target is sub 11.5 on the 1/4 mile. :happy2:

Setting the scene....

A damp private track in backwoods of Yorkshire, the air rank with the odour of exhaust fumes and stretching out in front of you a thin sliver of gnarled black, damp, partly muddy, Tarmac curving gradually uphill into the distance. The gearstick snicked into manual mode and the ESP turned off, revs build and you are off..........the nearly worn tyres slip and grip, your head and eyes go funny with the G force and...........  :driver:

Not bad to say it isn't even set-up fully yet the bum dyno said more power and the software calculates out at 447bhp. There's definitely more than spring pressure by the looks of it. 1/4 mile figures when I can after set-up.

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!

Give racedevelopments a call, for 12k I reckon with them you would get the APR turbokit, plus a fully built blue printed motor with a built head.

Awesome quote does seem a little steep, even on a completely stock car that requires a HPFP, intercooler and exhaust, as the turbo kit is only 6.5k. Labour costs should be two days for a bone stock car so that would only be 1200 pounds or so.
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: Msportman on February 24, 2014, 07:49:58 pm
I thought the same...I think the guy from Awesome had got it wrong because when I spoke to Keith at APR he reconned he could supply the kit for approx £5k.
The exhaust is £1300 and HPFP is £400 (APR recon unit). As you say it's approx £1200 to fit so that is well under £12k.They say the car can comfortably run on stock internals with the kit.

I suspect the only parts needed are the intercooler. Will take the Edition to a whole new level but I still think it will need 4WD to do properly.

Can't wait to see Hurdy's motor complete and You tubing the strips....hope to see it at Combe for some track action.....I know how quick the APR car was lapping....1.16-1.17....immense....that's only a second off saloon car quali pace last year with the Evo's.

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:

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.

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:

I want to see what yours makes to redline.  Steve needs to keep his foot in.

Doing an HTA3071 on a K1 soon with a .63.  Will see what that's like to drive in FWD to see if a .80 is better suited or not.  I don't want to run out of puff at 7.5K with the way the engine is going to be built.

Their beta launch control was too high. It would have put the gearbox into protection mode at 6krpm with an "overheat" signal.

Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R
Post by: Hurdy on March 01, 2014, 04:06:21 pm
So, a week has flown by since the turbo kit went on and I can honestly say this is THE single most awesome modification I have ever done. The R is running better and stronger than it has ever done and all the logging that Steve  at Statller did when setting it up on the dyno shows that the car is running exactly as it should. Fuelling, timing and boost are all spot on and the car feels very smooth on the road.

Negatives?
The lag - It is there if you press your foot down in a high gear at low revs, but you'd be daft to do this. It takes a little adaptation and re-learning on how to drive with this set-up over my K04 or Loba set-up although the benefits far outweigh the momentary lag.
Launch control - More difficult to get just right, but you don't really need it as it will still do 0-60 in under 4 seconds without it!

Positives?
The power delivery - Relentless and sooo seductive, where the K04 starts to slack off at 6krpm, this set up simply pushes you back hard into the seat all the way to the redline.
Fuel consumption - Appears to be better.....unless you press the fast pedal.
Driveability - the car just feels better to drive for not having the huge hump of torque low down in the rev range, smoother and more linear. Part throttle is excellent.
Speed - The obvious advantage really. This thing hauls ass. Make no mistake about it a stage 2+R wouldn't see which way this car went. Conservatively speaking, this will now do 0-100mph in under 8 seconds. The quarter mile time should drop significantly.
Safety - Not one I would usually put down here, but it has to be said that overtaking is a breeze and it seriously reduces the amount of time you are on the wrong side of the road and exposed.
Noise - Goddam it this thing makes a sound like a jet fighter at full WOT!
Flames - I have them and it looks mental!

Cost?
Well for my specific set-up it isn't cheap, but something like a CTS kit with a GTX3067R would yield similar results running off the GIAC BT map and wouldn't break the bank.  :happy2:

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

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:

Mine is the exact same. Been to three r.road days and always lean. Been logged on the road three times and always rich.

I tend to play along with the APR guys on FB. Then completely ignore what they say and do things my own way.

I haven't released any 1/4 mile times yet and it is going to stay that way until I get to the pod!  :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

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:

27psi boost maximum. Lowest setting is 21psi. Over boost shutdown protection is set at 28psi.

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.

For those of us no longer on FB, please elaborate.

It's meant to be a no nonsense no bullsh*t group where tuners can discuss openly about anything VAG related.

Two tuners mentioned the use of electronic boost control, and also the correction factor being used and to test it with a different factor.

Nothing to see basically.

Johns car is performing nicely on the road.

11.2 is ridiculous in a Golf!!

Very jealous.

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.

Nortech Racing Solutions did the BT build as it is a development kit and will be available soon. It will be cheaper and more powerful than an APR stage 3 kit for sure.
The MKVII R is using an IHI revised turbo, similar to a K04 and runs that 300bhp at just 1bar boost.

Cheers guys.

Good day at Santa Pod today. 120 miles each way and 5 runs up the strip. All runs done on low boost setting using 99ron and WMI and in pump mode ( not race file ). This was just to gauge performance and a day out.. The results were very good.

19oC, clear day with a 9-15mph headwind.

Result was a pass of 11.46 @ 120.15mph off a fairly poor 60' time of 1.83 seconds.

My last run would have been my best as I did a 60' of 1.75 but geared up just as I hit the auto shift point and the ***** gearbox went up 2 gears and dropped me out of the power band. Still an 11.54 ET but would have been an 11.3.

All in all the car is running excellent.

Pic of two of the slips. I'm number 54.

For comparison a 650bhp GTR was doing 11.2 @ 125mph.

Currently it is in pieces awaiting a replacement badge and I'll respray the back grill. I'm debating taking out the centre with the Dremel as I'm sure it would be a neater fit?

£4,700 inc vat for the kit and turbo.  Remember though that there is a fair amount of support parts that I already have fitted.

The kit includes turbo, downpipe, fitting parts and pipes and intake pipe to the turbo after the MAF.

The CF direction further unifies it but I would still have done that mod if it went the other way. OCD springs to mind for some folks - Is the weave angle exactly the same?  :evilgrin:

465whp at 1.7 bar boost with WMI and ??? without WMI, so just over 500bhp. Remember this turbo makes power beyond 2 bar of boost and I'm only running the pump map. On race fuel at 2 bar and with the race map the turbo is capable of over 500whp, but torque would ramp up significantly so I'll not be doing this until after the engine is built and the gearbox is Uprated with SSP Clutchpacks.

I can run without the WMI and make the same power by just adding 0.1bar of boost.  :happy2: Ramping up from 1.6 bar to 1.7 bar increased output by 30whp.

Coilpacks ARE different to the OEM ones. Seem to be less prone to failure and give a stronger spark, a "halfway hose" between OEM and Okada's for a quarter of the cost.

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?

I bought them through Statller? I gave him the part number HS Tuning quoted in their thread. I believe the R8V8 and R8V10 plus the V8 Audi RS models have the same coilpacks too. I don't know if they all use the same part number though.  :happy2:

Apparently there are more secondary windings in the R8 one vs standard to give a higher voltage spark.

Read a thread about the coils ages ago.

stock : 3.3m ohms

5 cylinder coils : 4.75m ohms

R8 : 5.31m ohms

Yes, on a BT application it gives extra free power. Even APR say 9whp on their stage 3. The only downside is you need an additional file to remove the cold start sequence.

Come on John, let's see the results...   :smiley:

Turned out at 495bhp (462whp) and 405lbft. Awesome have finally reduced those massive torque readings. APR stage 2+ Cupra made 357bhp and 370lbft.......much more realistic than the 380bhp and 450lbft they used to register.  :wink:

Even with mine mapped in you can still tell the difference. After 60-70 seconds the engine calms down and runs smoothly. Before this it runs louder.

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:

Was this an event at Awesome or is there a thread on another website??

Great results Mr Hurdy!! Big gains from 3.5k onwards and a lovely smooth graph.

I had an old APR Stage 3 car which although not as powerful had a lovely delivery....miss it now.

Is your's a custom map??

I'm a quandry whether to sell the Eddy and buy a new R or S3 and play with that....I assume when they release a map ( seem a bit slow on getting this done at mo....thought Revo or APR would have done this by now).

I suspect 350+ should be available with ease.......asw you say the dilema of 300+ with FWD even with a diff isn't like a good 4WD set up. Are you tracking your R? Do you get much understeer cornering? Can you deploy full chat cornering or does ESP kick in ?

I know Haldex is very different to an Evo with it's system but I always felt the Evo was quite a sophisticated set whereas VAG was a predominantly FWD and diverting power when it detected slip. How do you find it copes with these levels of  ooomph!!

Msportsman,

This was an RR day at Awesome through SeatCupra.net. They have a thread on their site in the regional NW section.

Mine is a BT map straight out of GIAC's catalogue. It is fine tuned with the boost through the E-Boost controller and no longer has an N75 running the show.

I have been reading about the new S3 and R's and as of yet they don't have anything due out soon for getting past the ECU protection apart from tuning boxes, which I strongly advise against. I'd wait at least another year or two before taking the plunge with one.
I have tracked the R a few times ( besides the 1/4 mile runs). It is very neutral to near the limit and then it will tend towards understeer. ESP does kick in if you push too hard in sharp corners. 2012 onwards R's can have their ESP turned off fully though.
The R copes very well with the Haldex. I have a HPA race Haldex and it is excellent although I would have bought the competition Haldex if I'd known it keeps the prop shaft drive connected to the rear under braking and acts more like a permanent 4WD system.

Overall the car is very capable and once the brake kit goes on it should be even more so.  :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.

The torque curve isnt even a curve its just a 'level'  :signLOL:

That is the boost controller management. fine tuning should make it even more level and smooth out the small "waves". The waves indicate the sensitivity of the controller is either a little too high or a little too low. The slight drop can be rectified in the E-Boost 2 by entering a percentage configuration between one rev setpoint and the redline.  :smiley:

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:

It does feel like a torque pedal too! :signLOL:

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:

I had looked at the Autometrix day, but it is when I'm on my Hols. Club GTI are also doing Blyton Park, which is a great little track and I'm quite tempted. 1/2 day open pit lane and then timed competition runs in the afternoon. Brakes should be on in the next week or two, so I'll be all set after that.  :happy2:

Steve at Statller dyno'd the car yesterday on it's new set-up, just to show why exactly the R is sooooo quick. Still on 99ron and WMI though and the pump map. This was the result..... :drool:

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Ft8%2Fhurdy_album%2F5a70f842b962e4dbd2fd1c35613d92a2_zps55b9120e.jpg&hash=03a3cbd9814e95982f3ac8225ef8102785808db2)

Absolutely love the flatline torque, feels fapping brilliant on the road.  :evilgrin:

As most of you know, the last setting revision I had did 460bhp and 360lbft at Statller, which made 495bhp/465awhp and 425lbft/404wlbft at all 4 wheels at Awesome GTI on their newly revised (ie. reads lower) dyno calibration.

I'd say this new setting would comfortably make over 500 AWHP at Awesome GTI, which equates to around 540-550bhp!!!

All VERY positive for the engine build coming up later this year.   :happy2:

Steve Jr also posted up my 0-60 and 0-100mph times on the higher setting.......

Half assed approach there hurdy, we all know if your going to go all out you also need to go nitrous again!

Ill have to get a caby in it next time im back to England.  I thought the APR golf was rapido with the Stage 3 and 430 crank Hp lol.

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?

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.

The gearbox is fine. No slip at all. The new GIAC DSG map is excellent.

Well, over the last week or so I have been logging loads of data to see where the car is and how it is running.

Fuelling - Spot on from both in-gear pulls and launch through to warp speed.
Boost - Gradually been logging and tweaking up the boost. Car runs well at 28psi   :surprised: no surge or fluttering like a K04, just a pure strong pull towards the next gear.
Timing - Very little timing pull and even on my highest setting the timing pull is currently under -5.

With the VBox I have managed to run unofficial 11.2@123mph repeatedly, so I am hopeful the next trip to my official 1/4 mile raceway should reap a similar time/speed.

Also with the VBox my 0-60's are consistently 3 seconds flat or just under (depending on how clean the launch is) and 0-100 varies between 6.9 and 7.2 (again depending on launch).

100-200kph varies between 7.8 - 8.1 seconds
30-130mph varies between 10.9 - 11.2 seconds

All-in-all I am awe struck by just how quick the R is, not to mention how well the engine and gearbox (DSG) are holding up.

The DSG box still doesn't have a sniff of clutch slip on GIAC's newly revised stage 3 map, which is a solid testament to just how good their map is for this.
Similarly GIAC's stage 3 BT map works very well too.

And to get an Easter quote in....."I am one very happy bunny!"   :happy2:

The intake for the TFSI is still in development. I am keeping the intake on the original side.

Mike, moving it over to the drivers side means a shorter intake which doesn't have to go over the exhaust manifold, which is more efficient. :smiley:

In my experience the cat back made little to no performance gain, the downpipe (whetehr with performance cat or a decat) is where the power was made.

Out of interest, how much power do you reckon you would lose if you kept a stock catback exhaust with all your other mods?

Best way to do it would be a 90mm decat downpipe, And an exhaust with one silencer. That way you'd maximise flow and keep the noise down "a bit". It wouldn't be exactly quiet tho

My thought is that from personal experience on my Octavia at S2+ with abefore/after cat back exhaust (Non res) dyno and also seeing the same done to Stage 2+ KO4 cars, the gains from the catback alone were less than 5hp. 5Hp when your looking at Stage 2+ outputs of K03 280hp and K04 350hp is only about 1.5% gain.  Even if it made 10 Hp at stage 2+ (which id be doubtful) that would only be around 3% net gain which at typical stage 3 outputs wouldbe around 15hp.

When you say it cant be done, do you mean on an ultimate performance level?  Surely you can run a stock cat back with a BT?

Back on topic

Pistons, rods and balance shaft delete. Errr, and stage3 head, and manifold and 8 injectors etc etc.

Whats a balance shaft delete? 

I take it if your going for 8 injectors your looking at 7xxhp?  Whats the theoretical max you can achieve with the current 4 injector setup?

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:

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.

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.

Pressure and flow are linked to an extent in terms of delivery of fuel. Ultimately a higher fuel rail pressure will deliver a little more fuel, but think of it as trying to blow water down a small straw, you will get a constant flow at a relatively low pressure, but when trying to blow harder you just end up flowing a similar amount, but giving yourself a bust blood vessel doing it. It is finding out at what point to stop increasing pressure that is key. Maybe more fuel rail pressure will work, maybe it will just end up stressing the system. I'd rather work things up by adding injectors and then build the pressure, rather than the other way around.  :smiley:

Currently running a K1 at 155 bar that raises to 160 bar at times.  That's on a loba pump.

The extra four injectors only need to run at around 5 bar as they are normal injectors. Extra ecu needed to control them is the downside.

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

Yes, and this is part of where I was leading to. People are saying that S3/R injectors flow more than the RS4 injectors, if they did then why do they have to run a higher pressure?

Chap in an ED30 had come back from the Nurburgring and had a new cam follower fitted before he went. He was on a 150bar fuel pressure map and came into Statller complaining of a flat spot in power. Steve looked at the follower and it had NO coating left and the follower was starting to dish!!! Another few k miles and it would have FOOKED his cam lobe up!

Don't know if it is just a weird one off, but like I said, for now I will be sticking with 135bar.

I had my cam follower swapped out last week and it was fine.  :happy2:

To get back on topic......

The HPA lower engine mount I had fitted is mUCH better than the THS one I had fitted beforehand. The NVH has been substantially reduced and is definitely one mod I can recommend. Statller supplied mine as they are now the UK HPA outlet.

The larger throttle body definitely helps lower the rpm that the turbo starts to spool up.

The "Lamborghini" brake upgrade set-up works very well. Hauls down from speed impressively. I spoke to Steve Jr as he had a similar set-up on his Edition 30 and he said that after 8,000 miles of mixed use his Pagid RS blues only had 30% wear on them which should allay fears that the OEM master cylinder may increase wear.

The RS4 injectors are proving more than up to the task of providing the fuel for my current 500+ bhp. My future plans will mean I will need much more fuel so either bigger injectors or a secondary fuel rail.

Next week I'm back at Nortech for some more changes.

Also next week I'll be fitting up the carbon fibre rear spoiler and front splitter.

Target for this summer is to get into the tens on the 1/4 mile, a few trackdays to prove the set-up is solid, much more VCDS logging and continuous speed testing for reference.

GIAC is proving a mighty good power mod and they specify the RS4 injectors at the moment. If they specified S3 I would be using those.
My R is currently VERY quick, some would say too quick ( my wife  :grin: ). I haven't seen another tuner in the UK who has even attempted to go as far as I have gone with a MKVI R. Maybe there are, but I haven't seen any proof that any other UK tuner is quicker, safer or stronger than what Statller and GIAC currently provide. APR have one car in Australia that has proven performance, but I believe this is also down to the man tuning the R as much as the tune on it. Then there is Teff, who's car is also more of a testament to the builder.
I cannot fault Statller as my chosen builder/tuner and I can honestly say that my car wouldn't be as strong as it is now without their dedication and support.
It is the builder that ultimately makes the car perform and you place your trust in what decisions they put forward and so individual parts like injectors, intakes, turbos etc are key to the outcome.  :smiley:

Adaptors from Dave?

Stop giving half the picture.  Bored having to squeeze an answer.

TTRS carriers and TTRS discs only work on TTRS hubs. You can't just bolt on TTRS carriers with 335mm discs. If it's Dave's brackets, then you have to use TTRS hubs with TTRS carriers and either the rs6 or phaeton disc.

Front wheel drive car needs alloy hubs from a TT or scirocco and they work with S3 carriers with Dave's adaptors.

So.... I'm guessing you are using some different adaptors?

My front brakes are going on when the car is back from paint, along with some new wheels.

Post by: DaveB@Vagbremtechnic on May 26, 2014, 08:47:09 am
John

I do/did the kit for Steve there's two versions..

1. Mk6 / Rocco / FWD cars with alloy rear hubs gets a bracket which enables Golf R/R32/s3 rear caliper/carrier assemblies to bolt straight on

2. Alloy Hubbed 4WD cars such as Golf R/S3 get the same disc but a different bracket due to the shape of the casting, there's also some tricky CNC taking place and the use of some very expensive countersunk fine pitch screws as the 4WD cars leave very little room even for a conventional bolt head. The restrictive nature needs me to use TTS/TTRS carriers as the "throw" is different. TTS/TTRS/S3/Golf and Rocco R calipers as we all know are the same


The TT rear 4WD hubs have enough room for a football match behind there and we do a. Kit which enables separate handbrake calipers and 4 pots on the back (I'll put you down for one for the winter!) in fact anybody wanting to see some R8 ceramics on an S3 just needs to look at Alex's FB page

It all came about as the TTRS staged cars have a pronounced "wiggle" when braking from 3 figure speeds, I originally used the C5 RS6 disc as a donor as its actually lighter than the stock disc even with all the bracketry but they're 600 plus VAT. Dynamically the bigger rear creates huge stability....there's no more cost effective upgrade for a track day TT......sure ultimately for a ultimate lap time you need smaller rears and a loose rear end but for those of us that don't wear a HANS device and a fireproof suit on a Sunday morning blat the stability is welcomed really

So the Phaeton disc got used they are more affordable but need a LOT of work to get them to fit, there's 3/4 CNC processes which it needs to get to a fittable product, they won't even go over the hub as supplied by TPS....

We cut one in half and did a lot of maths before we used it.....

The kits only really on request I don't shout about its availability and tend to supply only where's there's bias issues or reluctantly when pressed by the show crowd as the 310mm discs look like 5 pence pieces behind 19s/20s

And please sort the master cylinder matey, Steve will chuck you one on dead easy....if you like the pedal now you'll love it once you've got one fitted, the 8 pots are giving you lots of modulation which is making them feel good but could do with more fluid for high speed stopping...

How much spacer you running on the front now?

Hola Dave

Some confusion here
We just simply use your 335's (Hurdy has the last set btw) with your countersunk carrier brackets and TT caliper carriers
We fitted 3 cars up that way so far, one 8PS3 and two Golf R's no need for any other type hubs on the rear of these cars

John has 2mm shims on the front as he strictly requested no spacers  (caliper carrier again modified on the front to centralise the 8 pot and miss his 8/18 TD wheel

Oh and Dave regarding the Ceramics (which I've been drooling over) when are you sending 'The bells' back to Duncan I'm seriously thinking of using those on my RS but I'm not happy about switching to 19's

Thanks for the quick response last week btw

Now then shhhhteeeeevey....

Don't think I dropped of any of the FWD kits to you matey, they're double handy for Rocco R's which have the alloy hubs AND the 310mm kit as standard....the Mk6 GTI only gets tiny rears but is upgradeable

Duncan's bells are done.....need to laser em up OEM when I ever get two days back to back in the UK....

Uphill pull....looks like the MAF hit its peak g/s reading at around 6280 rpm's (500 bhp at that point) plenty of boost from 3300rpm with a peak of 2bar and still having 1.9 bar at the redline. Throttle modulation on the larger throttle body is now spot on with no hesitation or surge and the beta map is VERY strong.  :jumpmove:

Last time I went on Statllers dyno it made 500bhp and just made 364.08g/s at the redline. It now makes 364.08g/s at 6200rpm and power still builds up to 7400rpm. I recon much more than 500bhp peak, probably nearer 530-550. At 2 bar boost. Boost controller actually reads this......

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:

Soooo...

460bhp at Statller = 495bhp at Awesome GTI

Ergo...

499.8bhp at Statller = well over 500bhp at Awesome GTI

Statller's bhp roughly equates to Awesome GTI's awhp as it was 462awhp at Awesome.  :star:

I would have if I wasn't away. On the Statller dyno I'm probably 510bhp and 420lbft now, which would probably mean around 530-550bhp and 450lbft at Awesome GTI. It will be interesting to see what the RS3 guys make on there.

Will do Ross. It was from a company in the USA called Ghost Knit. The front splitter and rear lip spoiler cost just over £400. I shared shipping costs with 2 other sets to different R owners to help lower the price a little. The front splitter will go on soon.  :happy2:

Probably beyond its OE limit. It has done over a thousand launches, several hundred dragstrip runs and hundreds of dyno pulls and all in the search for speed and power. More than 99.9% or DSG cars will do in their lifetime. That is why I am upgrading mine before Inters.  :wink: Along with a few more power mods. :evilgrin:

Every 100 lbs out of the car is worth roughly 0.1 on the strip. When the car stops making more power then I will think about stripping weight out, until then the interior stays in.  :happy2:

There can't be anything left to do surely  :laugh:

Cracking car John  :happy2:

Plenty more to do. As previously mentioned, power mods, engine and DSG upgrades, weight saving, fine tuning.  :smiley:

What are you having done? Or is it a surprise?

No surprise, just boring stuff like upgrade DSG Clutchpacks, strengthened modified throttle valve, new Turbosmart dual BOV and recirc valve, rear brake colour coded to front and 335mm discs, air con repair and a detail.  :laugh:

I only mentioned stripping the car as I gutted the back seats in my GTI in preparation for new ones and realised how much weight they add. Coupled with carpets, trim and other bits must be 0.5 seconds worth if totally stripped.

Collected the trophy for my class. A bitter sweet victory as I lost a tip on the sparkplug into cylinder 2. New plugs in and runs fine, but won't be going down the strip Sunday as the plugs in won't be up to it. Nothing inside the cylinder, the valves are okay, but looks to be a bit of pitting on the cylinder and the turbo will need inspecting for damage too. It will mean a rebuild a little earlier than expected. Ahh the joys of tuning eh!

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

Car runs just fine.  :happy2:

Won the VW4WD class both days.  :smiley:

Yes, I am very happy. Although I would have liked to have seen even more tuned cars down the strip. Only one or two TTRS and RS3 guys went down and didn't really have any big power ones run.

It has already done an 11.08@124.55 at Santa Pod. It now has more power.

The launch 60' is quicker at the Pod as I can get flat 1.7. The best I managed today was a 1.8 and most were 1.9+.

One of the Marshall's at SCR mentioned that Santa Pod is quicker due to SCR being slightly uphill at the start and then flat. Santa Pod is flat and then slightly downhill.

That makes sense, I'd heard it was generally slower so an average of the two places is surely a fair time in anyone's books.

Not a lot to do. Nothing in the piston. It does mean building the engine on plan later this year, or earlier. It also means checking out the hot side on the turbo for blade damage.

Quick update,

Popped down to Statller and decided to give the Turbosmart diverter valve/blow off valve a go on a more permanent basis. This DV/BOV is designed to run as a normal DV at part throttle when lifting off so that the car runs smoothly in traffic etc and at high boost/WOT when lifting off acts as an atmospheric BOV. This is a great piece of kit and a proper "boys toy!"
The sound when it is letting off from high boost is great.....loud without being deafening. Not something I am used to, but it is needed to help expel all that excess boost without killing another throttle valve.  :scared: :laugh:
One of the good features is that you can decide if you want it to be entirely a DV of part DV and part blow off. It holds boost very well too. Photo below is the best I could get off the phone camera......31.8psi

Decisions, decisions.

Love my MK6 R, but now some juicy mods are out for the Mk7 R ( which initially for around £3.5k of mods would get me over 400bhp) I am wondering if it is time to sell.

I have 3 choices.....

1) Keep the MK6 and spend another £XXXX's? on getting her to the next level.

or.........

2) Sell her as she stands at 490+ bhp in road trim and buy a MK7 R

or........

3) Chop her back to stock, sell the parts and buy a MK7 R.

Post by: Hurdy on October 19, 2014, 11:47:57 pm
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.
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R.
Post by: Hurdy on October 19, 2014, 11:52:37 pm
Another alternative would be to lease a MK7 for 2 years and keep it at 300bhp, which would cost less than just the upgrades for the MK6!! :rolleye:
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R.
Post by: rich83 on October 19, 2014, 11:55:15 pm
Depends what your end goal is.

If it's to have a nice car that has 400bhp and not bothered about breaking records then mk7 no brainer.

For everything else.... Keep the mk6.

What's wrong with just running the mk6 as is?

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.

If I had your car + cash you're looking at spending the only swap that would make sense to me is sell yours and buy a MK5 R32 and strap 2 turbos on it, then you can have a somewhat more reliable 600+ bhp.
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R.

A reliable 600+bhp R32 with DSG would cost more than a 600+bhp MK6 R.

Post by: GrayMK5GTI on October 20, 2014, 12:49:28 pm
Hurdy's car history typically follows these principles:

-buy a well spec'd stock car
- modify it to within an inch of its life
- lots of 1/4 mile runs & Dyno days
- Steve Jnr puts it back to stock
- gets part ex'd for a faster model

And repeat  :grin:

Mk7 has better haldex, is lighter and probably just as tunable

It's a sensible upgrade as sooner or later boredom will set in with the 6R, may as well swap now  :jumpmove:

The 7R will be at very least as good as his 6R when it's been "Hurdied" and if it were me, I'd be more excited about having a different engine to play with. When you've done 2 high power TFSIs it's sensible to move onto a newer engine.

I'd like another passenger ride before you put it back to stock please John (4th or 5th Nov at Statllers sounds good  :happy2:)

I know Jared. A good bloke.

What that doesn't tell you is that the interior is stripped bar the driver's seat.
If you look at the video, he has even taken out the rear resection of the exhaust.
Lightweight 17" alloys wearing drag radials and smaller brakes than stock to accommodate them. These gave him a 60' of 1.5. Which is a full quarter of a second quicker than I can do on my road tyres.
SSP Clutchpacks - I am still on OEM Clutchpacks.
Sunoco Race fuel and custom race map. - I ran on pump setting.

So, to summarise. I need more power to knock back the 1/4 second advantage of Jareds launches with his super lightened R on drag radials.  :grin:

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:

Well, finally made a conscious decision today and so I am going to keep the Mk6 a little longer and get it ready to do some track work.
So,upgrade Pistons, rods, head, Clutchpacks, Vagbremtechnic upgrade discs, Project Mu pads, race geometry set-up and new track tyres.
This time the target isn't more power, but making it all quick, reliable and consistent enough for track work abuse.  :evilgrin:

Booked Spa-Fracourchamp GP track day.
Booked VLN Nurburgring track day.

After the work is done I need to book a few local track days in March to get my eye back in, so probably Oulton Park, Blyton or Donington.

Great to hear you're keeping the R and making it into a proper track monster!

I've been to Donington a couple of times as a good mate lives very close. Let me know if you do plan to go - I've always found most trackdays are devoid of interesting VAG cars. Would love to see yours frighten some Bee-ems and Jap stuff!

 :fighting: :fighting:

Had a white van man reverse into my car last week. I was on an industrial estate following the White van and he came to a halt. I also stopped about 15-20yards behind him as he put on his reverse lights. He then started reversing as if he had missed the unit entrance to the side of him, but when he carried on gaining speed I beeped my horn solidly. He slammed his brakes on and stopped about a metre from the front of my R. I thought great, he missed me, but then the van suddenly lurched backwards and the tow bar on the rear of his van bumped into the front of my car!!!
I couldn't believe it. I jumped out of the car and this small Italian guy who only spoke pigeon English got out of the van. "I sorry, it a jumped in da reverse gear" he said. "Ok, have you got your insurance details" I asked. He pointed to the damage and said " it a nothing" to which I replied "it's cracked the bumper and interior grille". anyway He fumbled inside the van, but found nothing. He said that he worked locally and I could follow him back to his place of work, which I did. He openly admitted to his boss that he had reversed into me, which I secretly recorded on my phone, just in case of issue. the company is legit and I have their insurance details.
Here is the damage....

Well done for recording it on your phone, I wouldn't have even thought of that.m
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.

I've thought about a dash am a few times and this may just edge it for me.

Anyway, the good news is that they have agreed to pay up, so by the end of the week it should be back to normal.

Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R.
Post by: Hurdy on March 14, 2015, 02:05:19 am
Well the R went in for a spruce up and feels all the better for it.

New cambelt and water pump
New sparkplugs
DSG oil and filter change
Engine oil and filter change
Haldex oil change
Engine bay tidy up - moving pipework, extra shielding for wiring etc.
New, improved heat shield
One other thing to do was to take the turbo off and have the housing exit section welded. This was due to the lip on the housing being almost non-existent and kept popping off under peak boost when running over 30psi. Job done and fitted with new high pressure clamps and that pipe should now be a permanent fixture at whatever boost I run.
Finally a good clean up to make her all shiny again.
I must say that I absolutely love this car and it is soooooo quick yet so tractable it beggars belief. Everyone should have a 4WD, 500bhp daily.  :happy2:

Arrived back in the UK late Friday night after an eventful 5 Day "Tour de Europe".  :happy2:
 I'd like to than DaveB the brake Guru from Vagbremtechnic for sorting me out an awesome brake set-up to go with and test out. 362mm 2 piece discs and full project Mu race pads for the 8 Pot brakes - performed brilliantly as they were set-up without the springs in. Never faded once, in fact I had so much brake power that the ABS would cut in first even when restricted!!!
 Next up I'd also like to thank Steve Jr at Statller for going through my engine and suspension with a fine toothcomb to ensure everything was spot on for the trip. Before I went the car had all the major services done - Cambelt and waterpump, DSG service, Haldex service, engine service, sparkplugs, etc etc.

Ian and myself had booked ourselves in for two trackdays, back to back at Spa Francorchamps and the full VLN Circuit at the Nurburgring.
The start....
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Ft8%2Fhurdy_album%2F1504D3AC-EF64-4283-9EA9-1EF570801578_zpsfzcezhg6.jpg&hash=209ec9e7dd38005cd3949cdb412b91b48d17a3ea)

After an uneventful haul over from the UK to France via the Eurotunnel we headed over to Belgium to Spa and stopped at the Hotel de la Source, which was bang next to the track.
The morning of the trackday at Spa greeted us with a smattering of snow over the cars and a flurry of light snow in the cold air. The ground was cold and wet, but our spirits were high in anticipation of the day ahead.

On arrival we spotted several decent track cars along with the odd Audi R8, Porsche and GTR thrown in for good measure.

Ian went off to have an hours tuition whilst I went it alone and whilst on track spotted him in his blue R a few times....a bit damp!
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fhurdy_album%2FAt_Spa_2015%2Fimage.jpg1_zpsvzuwdl4n.jpg&hash=ac9edb7eebd43f7f22b293c182fa0eaf4643295c)

One from slightly after....

Unfortunately Ian's car suffered from some kind of fuel starvation resulting in his car being towed off track. After taking off the coilpacks and replacing a sparkplug the diagnosis was still a mystery as his R wouldn't start.

Some more photos of the day...

Straight after the Spa trackday we shot over in my R to Germany and stopped at the Dorint Hotel at the side of the GP circuit at Nurburg. All seemed well for the following day ....until I opened the curtains in the morning!!!

The photo doesn't quite do it justice as the snow was still coming down (sometimes heavily) until after 12 noon.
A quick photo of the lobby and you can just make out the snow on the main pitlane straight through the windows...

Not to be deterred, I ventured down underground to the garage to check my R over and see what other metal was around....

We finally got the green flag to go out on track at just after 12.30pm, but shortly after (and before my first lap) the track was closed again after a blizzard swept through at the other end of the Nurburgring section....
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2FAt_Spa_2015%2FAt_Nurburgring_2015%2Fimage.jpg7_zpsr1msvk2h.jpg&hash=f0c3ec1c93b6e47b5e76fdb721365b904d472adc)

A quick shout for Frozenspeed and their great photo piccies.

After another half hour I finally managed to break out on track for a few "cautious" laps and then back in after spending most of my time behind two cars who appeared oblivious to moving over and must have been doing some kind of chase camera laps.....

Anyway the track was closed again after a Porsche 944 Turbo had a crash and almost at the same time a BMW M3 smashed into the armco. Very frustrating indeed!
Once opened up again I had Ian onboard for some extra ballast  :wink:

With the day over at 4.30pm we headed off to the Pistonklaus restaurant for some well deserved grub and to mull over the days proceedings. Another sticker went on the R too....

Sorry if you said and I didn't see but what happened to Ian's car in the end? Did he get to drive either track after? Did he drive home or have to get it towed? Bit of a Shame to go all that way and have it break down  :sick:

Glad to hear you (and the car) returned in one piece, considering the conditions :). Really glad the car is reliable as it is fast  :congrats:
Unfortunately for some of us, it takes a long time to get to Spa/Nurburgring and the weather is always a gamble (I've had 7-8 degrees at noon in August, for example). You might consider going again in July/August  :smiley:.

Ian had his car towed home. He came with me to the Nurburgring and had a great time there. He wants to go again, so the experience of having his car breakdown hasn't put him off in any way. I also took him all the way home.  :happy2:

New personal best at Santa Pod yesterday.

11.02@125.62mph

Car was running Toyo R1R tyres, running 99ron V-Power and WMI and on the normal stage 3 pump map (not race! ). Quite a lot of slip of the clutches into 5th meant no real acceleration in that gear.

SSP
HPA
HGP
Dodson

Some hybrid turbo K04's make big peak torque and can slip clutches even when the DSG is mapped.
Personally I believe it is only needed when you go BT.

Depends on your ultimate power/torque target.

If you are seeking 500+ lbft then go for HPA/HGP.
Up to 500lbft then Dodsons.

GTI International, Saturday and bagged the VW4WD trophy.   :smiley:
 
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:
 
Good points...
 
New map saw a better terminal when the boost was dialled up for one run.
car runs creamy smooth.
 
Bad points...
 
New DSG map has a lower launch limit, which needs turning up to bring my 60' times back down under 1.85 seconds.
The new map is so good I am slipping the clutches even more!
 
On Sunday I ended up as the runner up in the VW4WD section as I did two lower boost runs early on (11.32@122) and then parked the R up to enjoy the day. Had lunch and decided to up the boost and get some lower times (with the settings I was on with my best run on Saturday) but sadly the weather had other ideas. :sad1:

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 haven't read all 200 pages.....perhaps I should but haven acquired my first DSG Edition 30 (my previous two cars were both manual but mapped to stage 2 and stage 1) are DSG gearboxes up to the job on tuning.....particularly stage 2+ as I've come across a few people with the dreaded mechatronic failures.

I don't know much about DSG boxes but mine was services at 29k and is now on 41k but I'm deliberating whether to leave it OE as I already have a track car.

Was thinking about usual upgrades but it's a 6-8k investment to do the stage 2+ with KW's diff, brakes and sticky rubber for track excursions.

Your thoughts

Stage 2+ and DSG on an ED30 is almost the perfect match. If your car is ok now then it should be ok at stage 2+.

Hurdy... I paid a few grand less than that for a completely stock 2012 Golf R just 2 months ago! Car sales appear to be slow, my GTI hasn't had much attention so far but I don't want to reduce the price even more as I'm already taking a hit on the car as it is. Just be patient...

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.

It's restrictive above 330 bhp with a K04. You can get more from it by forcing the turbo. With a 1.4 bar peak boost from a K04 I got more ~12 bhp just by replacing the OEM stock air box with a VWR panel filter, with a VWR cold air intake. When adding octane booster on my 98 octane petrol I went from 335 bhp to 355 bhp with the CAI.
Title: Re: Hurdy's Golf .:R.
Post by: pudding on September 07, 2021, 10:16:04 am
Mine topped out at 330hp with the factory airbox and paper filter. 

With an aftermarket filter, 360-370 is achievable.  I'm basing that on a dyno tuner that's probably tuned close to 100 of them, so the data is reliable.  That is from a stock K04 engine running 1.5 - 1.6 bar boost with 3"+ downpipe and uprated HPFP.  The factory cat back doesn't really restrict flow that much, so a full system is down to personal noise preferences.

400 isn't doable with a K04. Well, you might be able to see that once or twice on a cold dyno pull pushing it to 2 bar, but after the 5th or 6th run it will drop right down again, and 2 bar isn't sustainable.
