Remapped Top speed

[Knight_Rider]

Hi all, I was wondering if with remaps the top speed can be extended on a) the CUPRA b) the Leon FR/DSG.

I have my DSG remapped and I've had 160mph on the dial. But this could be due to a number of things.

Does anyone know if the DSG gearbox can have it's gearing altered to allow for more top speed or longer gearing?

Just a random question really, no real plans or need to know. Just thought I'd ask out of interest

Had my FR Stage 1 @ 149 on the dial before I ran out of runway.

So are these speedo reading or GPS?

 

[Adamm]

Dials for me. Wont have the chance to do it again for a while and didnt have my satnav at the time.

speedo i stopped incase the needle snapped

So does anyone know about the DSG box being adjusted? Hurdy or any of the other GTi guys with DSG?

FOOOOk

Might need more than a remap to do 170 but im no expert.

Increasing BHP will inevitably increase top speed just depends how much BHP you increase and of course if gearing allows .

I've had 167mph on the GPS (indicated 180+mph on the speedo) on the main straight at the Nurburgring. Could have got more but ran out of straight and the last part of the straight is uphill.

Gearing should allow a Cupra to do 187mph at the rev limiter, but you'd need BIG power to get there....and a very long open stretch of Autobahn.

Hurdy, is your ed30 DSG going to be the same gearing as my Leon DSG? What's the potential top speed of that given a the car had say a hypothetical 500bhp?

I'm not going anywhere with this just curious!

with my half of a stage2+ I can just about 140 however its quite a struggle will let you know until my problem is fixed...(need to do a major service and to replace a valve...) hehe I think 150 is achieveable though

Mine does 70mph

Mine does 70mph

mine does 70 mph plus 10%.

To do 170mph indicated does take a while Ive been told, getting to 165mph is fairly easy, the last few mph arent, and best achieved with winds pushing you along. Wouldnt put my k1 to the test of hitting that though as its too much strain on the engine for too long.

Only cars I know of that are proven to hit a indicated 170mph or more is a RT360 and a big turbo TT which has done over 180mph

Make that 2 RT360's

Make that 2 RT360's

3 if we are being honest

Oh, you don't have closed private roads up your way then? Loads round here

 

[Al]

DanGB will confirm there are no roads long enough up this way to do any kind of high speed testing. The RT360 I was referring to was not mine
