Here's an idea - to share some figures (and vids if possible) of your 100mph runs and list power and mods (if any).
I'll start.

Car: 02' Golf IV 1.9 PD TDI150
Power / Mods: ~205bhp / remap; hybrid VNT17; de-cat & free-flow muffler; 80mm intake pipe
0-100mph: ~16 sec
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7HQi-jIKyU
* At this time only had a tuning box (Rapid) fitted. With current setup (+20bhp) should be a tad bit faster - gotta make a new vid soon. :rolleyes:

Hi mods as below my car gets there in just over 15seconds hopeing it will be alot faster when i pick the car up on friday though!!

All those powerful tuned TDI's around here and no one has ever measured a simple 0-100mph run? :(

As it cant be accurately measured.

Speed error for a start, plus getting the timing started when you start moving, then stopping when your exactly at a true 100mph [not 100mph speedo reading]

mine did get 14.8 secs to 92mph @pod tho, so i reckon 17secs cant be far off.
 
Sisson what power are you running i think you must be running about the same as me, to be honest i wouldn't like to say how acurate my time was either as i just timed it on a vid on my phone and its very hadr to judge especially as pasanged recorded it so its at a bit of an anle looks like the spedo is reading higher than it is!!
 
mine had...

custom code remap
custom zorst
green filter
Forge FMIC

Although that time was without the FMIC.

161bhp atw and around 180+fly fig i reckon with 300lb/ft

Now sold tho...

Yes, that's true, that's why I chose to make a vid....then edit it, it's a bit more reliable than using a stop-watch.
Then there's the speedo deviation, but at 100mph I assure it's not really significant, in my case around 1mph (GPS certified).

A drag run, like the one you made will always be the best and most accurate way to measure acceleration, but a quick vid on a nearby traight piece of road, will already give an idea of what kind performance the car is pulling. :)

I could leave a lot of other performance measured runs vids, like in-gear accelerations and top-speed run, but I guess it would be pointless.
 
^^^ I know it can be measured properly.

What i meant was, measurting it using a video camera and a stopwatch isn't exactly accurate.

Still a rough guess is near enough for pub talk!
 
I've used a AP 22 meter in the past and ended up selling it cause I found it to be a bit inaccurate... It takes time to properly calibrate a performance meter to be used accurately in a specific car.

Anyway just to have a rough idea of what the car is doing I'll stick with the GPS and a vid camera (more reliable than just a stop-watch).

The first one looks very good have you had any experience with it?? are there any other similar one that are a bit cheaper maybe as funds aren't looking great after just splashing out £4000 at Jabba haha!!

Go on then, what did you get for £4000 ?

Here is a review of performane meters.

If you want a good performance meter there is a Pro RR meter going for sale here cheap.:whistle:

That's well odd, because I couldn't get below 15 seconds at the pod yet I was crossing the finish line at 96mph. I wonder if that's got something to do with the way I was starting off the line?

Oh, and as I can reach 96mph in 15 seconds with a poor start (apparently) I imagine my 0-100 must be around 15.5? This is without NOS as well, which has yet to be properly setup.
 
Top-speed

What kind of top-speed (on a straight piece of road) are you achieving in you modded TDI's?
Of course only in German autobahns and closed circuit figures are allowed... :whistle:

My Golf TDI150 (205bhp): speedo 245kmh/153mph || GPS 236kmh/148mph

A mate's Golf TDI150 (230bhp): speedo 260kmh/163mph || GPS not measured

I'm hoping for 160mph speedo reading when I travel to Prague in September. :) Trouble with the Fabia is it's aerodynamic as a brick, and it makes an odd whistling sound at 140mph+
 
Strangely I found the same whahahaa :D

I keep thinking I've left a window open or something ;)

In NL I may have tested the speed of the car a little (before I spotted a police car near a petrol station, thus causing me to try out my 312mm TT brakes, a LOT, before dropping in nicely at the Dutch NSL behind another motorist )

I've not tried timing myself in this way as yet though..

The more wheelspin you get the higher the top end,
