Hello, it's been some time I've posted up here
Car has had its custom OBD-tuning, major difference now. With g-tech I got 0-60mph in 7,5s, and quarter mile in 15,5s.
To try and give some info on how fast the car is now (I still need a power-rolling result, will do this in about 2 weeks then I will put the output here), I have tested vs some cars.
Me vs Audi A3 2.0 TDI remapped to 185 HP / 400 Nm
From 0 to 140km/h same acceleration (also starting from 50km/h etc. in 2nd and/or 3d gear), after 140km/h I started to lose him and he was a bit faster.
Me vs VW Polo 9N3 1.9 TDI 130HP (not remapped): I am a bit faster
Note: these cars, originally have already +- 145-150HP on the rolling road.. As most of you know VAG engines mostly have more HP output than given in theory!.
Also, me and a mate of mine traded cars. He has a Golf 4 TDI with about 180HP and 330Nm, and mine did feel a bit faster. We didn't "race" though.
Next week, I'm going back to the tuner, to optimize the current remap a bit, power after 4000RPM could still be a bit more. The current remap has enormeous torque and power, but after 4000RPM the tuner set it back a bit, because, at that point, I was having some intercooler problems (there was a dead bird in my intercooler, lol!). Since the bird is gone ( lol, it took a few weeks since I found it !:P ) intercooler is acting perfectly fine now, so we can go to the maximum.
End result should be about +- 160 HP and 350Nm. As I said, I will go on a "testing bank" to measure the power output!
And last but not least..
