CALICO 130 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 if its turbo gti he will beat you but what have you got to loose it may encourage you to modify more £££ did you get a BMC in the end as i might have 1 going soon Link to post Share on other sites
p0u1 14 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 i think you will murder him, just saying thoughs mk4 are big lumps to be racing in Link to post Share on other sites
editionmatt 1 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 i raced a a3 1.8t, hed stripped out, str8 thru exhaust and map to 190bhp and i ws doing him in my standard vr(apart from no back seats) it wsnt until he got new silicone turbo piping and FMIC that he did me purely cos his old pipes were so flimsy they were folding in on themselves from the pressure.

The Monk 50 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 MK4 's are too heavy. 1.8t's with a remap usually sit with VR6's.That said because 2 x 1.8T mk4's have gone against me and NEVER got past but neither have been left by me either.....both remapped too.

andyfloss 0 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 i used to have a 1.8t remapped and i raced my mate in his pretty standard VR....due to his torque he had me off every roundabout but as soon as my turbo kicked in i just got past on the straights Link to post Share on other sites
dman78 1 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 you can remap a 1.8T to 260bhp Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 That would require difrent turbo, injectors, etc. Unless you are talking about a 1.8t which is in an audi s3/ TT Link to post Share on other sites
dman78 1 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 ahh forgot that i had the a3 quattro with 180bhp as standard Link to post Share on other sites

dman78 1 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 [blockquote]your on about the s3 with a k04 turbo [/blockquote]nope my a3 1.8T quattro had 180bhp as standard with a ko3s turbo Link to post Share on other sites
wag 0 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 normal 20v with a ko3s stage two is around the 230bhp and 260 lbft of tourque i thinkmines 205bhp and 266ft lb but it is a good one as 20vs go plus my ibiza is alot smaller and lighter then a mk4 Link to post Share on other sites
andyfloss 0 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 stage one is usually around 190 depending if you have a k03 or a k03s Link to post Share on other sites
Rsjvr6 1 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Heres an interesting question. I know that the mk4 peak torque very early in the rev range and generally tail off as you wind up the revs on a standard car? Would this also be the case in a remapped MK4? I would still lean towards the VR6 because they make awesome power at the top end of the rev range plus they are lighter I think. Link to post Share on other sites

yakuza racer 16 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 so an update, apprently he has issues with his car, boost leak, so in all fairness i didn't want to give him hiding and he comes back saying he was not 100%, im also getting myself some 98 race fuel or some octane booster Link to post Share on other sites
