cupra on awesomes rollers today...267bhp

[ste-lfc]

well well the results were 247bhp at wheels,266.99 at clutch,max torque was 239.. i am well pleased.Thanks to mark(Z.BOYD)for comin down and gettin some video footage on the rollers.....My code has been sucked and sent off so not too long to wait for a remap

 

[Eternal Rage]

Geez!! Nice One

You must be impressed. What are hoping for after the re-map?

Impressive result. Believable 20 bhp transmission losses.

Any graphs to post?

Where's that Star thread - some apologies due?

 

[ZBOYD]

No problem, was great to meet you, its a lovely car, glad i could tag along. I was just as excited with the results. 266hp was mighty impressive, it sounds very much like a Leon R on spool up to be honest, a bit more raspy.

Bang on the money what Star Perfomance showed on the car they tested too, good to get very similar results from two independant RR's. Seems SEAT have slightly underated it.

300hp has to be in reach for this car, a map should bring up the torque levels too, its going to be fun finding out what they can do.

Can't wait for mine to arrive now, the weeks are draggging.

I caught one run on video.

You can view it here in Quicktime format. Clicky

I'll do an WMV version, i'll upload that shortly.

brilliant

now where's the doubting toms now ?

20bhp losses doesn't sound right at well under 10%, but who know, at least it's consistantly putting out more than Seat stated

Would be good to see a graph

267bhp standard Not a detuned S3 engine afterall

Both results at star and awesome are tying up with same bhp figures but whp figures widely off.

Star 217whp
Awesome 247whp

Looking good all the same though

Hello guys,
That was my car on Star's rollers and I've now been flying around with 294 brake for nearly a week. Eeeeya. This is just an interim program to see how it goes and they said it is easily capable of being taken over 300 and I've to go back on Friday to get that done. 'Roll' on Friday.

20bhp losses doesn't sound right at well under 10%......

Here we go again

Here's a graph of the Golf Gti 230 edition (Superchipped )

http://www.superchips.co.uk/curves/VWGolfGTIEdition30.pdf

Showing 244bhp as standard and 300 odd chipped

 

[AndyHazza]

Interesting to see the "230bhp" 30th anniversary is doing 240 but the cupra 260..... wonder why that is

 

[Mitchy]

Still dont know what all the differences are between the 3 cars, but from a manufacturers point of view cupra should be 10ps up on Gti 230 edition and S3 should be 25ps up on cupra.

The results being recorded recently are saying otherwise though.

 

[cupra2007]

from a test in a magazine in greece the ''30'' and the cupra came out the same in the dyno,about 227ps at the wheels so something like 250ps in the engine.they also said that the differences between the two engines were none bar an aluminium cylinder head for the cupra so the ''30'' is not just a chipped gti. http://www.4troxoi.gr/index.php?cat_id=197&page_id=5125 .in 15 days the article will be free to read.
